Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1849-06-29

of the Meeting, but deferred until some suit
able tim in August or September. In many
places, we are informed, the friends are busi-
ly and zealously engaged in providing for it;
and we hope that no pains will be spared to
procure a large and valuable collection Of ar
ticles TO be brought together and offered for
sale at such time and place as those interest
ed may deem most advisable. We think
there need, in future, be no fear but that the
goods contributed to the Fair can be sold.-
II all are not disposed of at the time and
place of first offering them, Fairs can after
wards be held at other places, and thus the
residue be sold without difficulty. This is
the plan which has been adopted by those
devoted friends of the slave in the East, who
have done so much for several years past, by
means of Anti Slavery Bazaars, TO aid the
American Anti. Slavery Society. We hope,
then, that the women Of the West will COM
bine their efforts to aid, by contributions TO
the approaching Fair, the Anti-Slavery move
ment in the West; for, assuredly, there has
never been greater need than now for the
! tAu ~ huhhhh' W w Wv ~
of arousing and enligh,ening the public mind.
Since the last meeting Of our Society, album
dant evidences have appeared showing that
long and arduous as have been the labors of
the abolitionists, much yet remains to be done
ere the cause Of Freedom can triumph in our
land. But a few months ago, the American
People, clothed in their sovereign majesty,
appointed 10 the Presidency Of the United
7 States, a man known 10 the county only as
2 a dealer in the bodies and souls of men, and
I a successful champion in the battles Of sla-
n very None pretended that Zachary Taylor
i was a statesman, or familiar with the various
I duties which a President Of the United State:
h is called upon 10 ill. He himself protested
t no practical acquaintance with civil affairs
S But he was a large stakeholder and had devo
ted years of his life TO the work of strength
e ening, by robbery and bloodshed, at the com
mand Of the U. S. Government, the accurse'
system of human bondage-and hence, wa

Nor would the result have conduced moi
