Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1850-01-19

Some weeks since, we published tho receipts,
up to that date, of the money, &C., contributed
from the East. More from that quarter is now
added, together with the Western contibu-
tons.
The task of asking for contributions. even for
so holy cause as Anti Slavery, is an unpleas-
ant one and when so little zeal is felt in the
cause by many of the profcsscd abolitionists
that they need to be asked again and again, and
reluctantly contribute if they do so at all, it
makes the duty still more unpleasant.
But, as an offset to these and as an evidence
that there are those (fcw though they may bS,)
who have practical living interest in the Slaves
rcdcmption-who feel their individual response
bility, and act accordingy-somc do respond
promptly, and oltimes send us words of cheer
and encouragement.
The following extract from letter is to the
point:
KEESE, October 20, 1910.

Then comes one from Limington, Maine:
FRIEND BROOKE received last week an An
ti-Slavery Bugle--the first have ever seen. l
havo been reader of The Libcrator for the last
fifteen years-have watched all your sayings
and doings away in Ohio, and elsewhere, as it
every week brings me tidings from the camp to
my little cottage home, which has no occupant
with me except an aged and invalid mother,
who has not been able to walk or stand for more
than ten years, and to the care of whom am
confined. . And here we sit at home and
watch your progress-plan for you, and pass
ccnsure on many of your daring words. But
The Buglc calls for dollar Dollars are by no
ulcdnS plenty WIFI INC, uut IL INC VI Cn-
shaved millions upon me call for only Ono Dol
lar, it shall not be denied. -.r t.sr.
Believe me one with you in the faith of the
immutable principles of Right.
MARY BRAcKETT.
Those who could scarcely miss the dollar
they now withhold, and would not in many in
stances were they to send ten-fold that sum
know the difference in the amount of their prop
erty a few months hence, can learn a lesson
from this letter of Mary Bracket.
Allow me, friends, to remind You that your
dollar is much needed and excuse me for re-
commencing you to not put oG'the time ofseiding
beyond the first opportunity of dropping let
ter containing that sum in the Post Office.
SAML BROOKE,
.-. Gen. Agsnt.
WForward your contributions to the West
ern Agency Fund of tho American Anti-Slavo-
ry Society, to Saml Brooke, Salem, Columbi-
ana Co., Ohio. r
