Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1849-10-13
Practice VS.. Profession.

C. F. Hovcy calls attention, in the Libcrator,
to the fact that Victor Hugo, the President of
the Paris Peace Congress, and NJ. Coquerel, a
Protestant Clergyman, a member of the French
National Assembly, also a member Of the Con-
gress and a Vice President, were both active in
sustaining the French government in its infa-
nous war upon Rome for the restoration of the
Pope! Pretty men these to pirate of Peace =
Could brazen hypocrisy go farther Of all the
%villanous wars got up by more villanous gov
crnments within the last half century-not even
excepting that waged by the United States
against Mexico-that of the French against the
Romans is the worst. The rule adopted by the
Paris Congress, that no allusion should be made
to the politics of the day, was doubtless intend
ed to save the actors in that diabolical crusade
from direct censurc. That word politics is a
very nice cloak to hide the wickedness of re-
| spectacle sinners! We know of nothing equal
to it save the new wrapper invented for the use
of the same class by our American moralists,
and known as organic SIM
FILTHY HABITS OF MEN.-Can any bcdEtel
us why man, more than woman, should make
a beast of himselfi or why q Westinghouse
occupied by that portion of the human species
who glory in their pantaloons should resemble
a pig-stye more than a place for the convoca-
ton of rational beingss The Friends were kind
enough to open their house for the recent dis
c~ussion between Messrs. Preston and Wright,
demanding only that it should be cleaned after
the meetings were over. While the end of the
house occupied by the women needed no more
than a slight sweeping, it cost $5 to cleanse
from the stains of tobacco the end used by those
who call themselves men! We never came
half as near being ashamed of our sex as we did
while contrasting the disgusting filth of one por-
ton of that house with the cleanliness of the
other. The tobacco grinders who elected their
foul juices and guilds upon the white floor prob
ably compounded with their miserable remains
of conscience and self-respect by contributing
one cent to pay the women who attempted the
work of publication o shame! Well did
Dickens say that splitting in this country is an
institution! Certainly no one could have doubt
ed it who inspected that meeting house at the
close of the recent discussion.
The FoRMER EDIToRs.--The readers of The
Bugle can never cease to feel a lively interest in
the welfare of its former Editors, to whose faith
full and unwearied labors the usefulness of the
paper, as an anti-slavery instrumentality, for so
many years, is to be attributed. In answer,
therefore, to inquiries frequently made, we will
state that Mr.. and Mrs. Jones will continue to
reside in Salem. Mrs. j., however, will spend
the winter at Marlboro, where she will study
Anatomy and Physiology under the direction of
DIR. Thomas, with a view to qualifying herself
to become q teacher of those sciences among her
own sex. Mr.. Jones has formed a copartner-
ship in the Cabinet-making pushes with Mr..
Henry Lewis, recently from Philadelphia and
they have opened a shop on the corner of Main
and Lisbon streets, where they will manufac-
/ ture every variety of cabinet furniture in the
l best manner and on reasonable terms. They
5 will give good proof of skill and taste in their
occupation, and we most heartily commend
E them to the patronage of our friends.
Discussion AT THE SoUrH.-A Mr.. P. p,
Gaines, a relative of the late Gen. Gaines, came
out lately at Butler, Choctaw Co., Alabama,
/ and spoke for two hours and a half in favor of
3 the constitutionality and expcdiency of the
Q Wilmot Proviso. He was replied to by two
men, one of whom was S. s.. Houston, a native
E of New Hampshire, who offered a series of res
%olutions condemnatory of Mr.. Gaines's position,
which were adopted by the meeting. Thus
while Southern men are frequently coming out
in a manly way against Slavery, Northern
doughfaces are found ready to prostitute them
! selves in its defence. Shame upon the traitors!
