Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1850-12-21

| [Cheers.1 Thank God November has ri
pened this evidence for us. We have set up
milestone of progress which the blindest
can feel, if he cannot see. lCheers. That
n large party should follow MIR. Webster any
where is not surprising. You know, MIR.
Chairman, was once among that crowd
who are said to be bred TO the bar ;-and
very kind of them, surely, since the bar is
never bread to them. Well, sir, | remember
an insurance case which illustrates my mean
ing. You recolect that when an insured ar
iicle is lost from any defect of its own, the
insurers are not liable. Now, in carrying
some sheep from one port to another, the
ram getting frightened, leaped overheard
and the whole flock followed. [Cheers. The
insurers pleaded, in defence of suit brought
| against them, that it was an inherent defect
in the article. [Cheers.l Now, when MIR.
| Webster, Standing on that majestic hight,
| whence the hopes of the North, with airy
| tongues that syllable mems names,' summon
ed him to the noblest task ever given TO man,
when such an one plunged into the Secreta-
ry of Stateship and nowhere, cheers, il
was to be expected that large portion of the
old Wing party should follow him. II is an
inherent defect of the article. Loud laugh
teri Thank Heaven, however, that when
even he shouldered the Fugitive Slave Bill,
there were so many fugitives from his own
party that hardly enough were left TO count
them. [Cheers.
Now, at least, the question is settled where
Massachusetts stands so unequivocally that
even the Daily Advertiser, which never an
nounced the nomination of Horace Mann un-
I'll after he was elected, [cheers and laugh
ter, even that late riser may be considered
posted up on this point. l remember Mr..
Webster once said, in reply to some taunt of
Hayne's,-' There is Massachusetts behold
her, and judge for yourselves! There is
Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill,
and there they will remain forever Let us
borrow the formula, and when any body in
the United States Senate doubts Our position,
let us cry There is Massachusetts behold
her, and judge for yourselves! There is
George Thompson, welcomed by the heart
IT he could not be by the pocket of the Com
monwealth. [Cheers. There is Horace
Mann in, and Charles w. Upham out, and
there they will remain forever. [Cheers. l.
There is George S. Boutwell, in, and George
N. Briggs out, aud there may they remain
forever. Enthusiastic cheers.
j cannot, however, quite consent to say
that our friend could not be heard in Fam
eul Hall. The glorious old name does not
belong to bricks aud mortar. As the Scot
tisl chief boosted that where McGregor
sits is the head of the table, SO where free
dom dwels, where all lips are free, wherever
the foe Of slavery is welcome, no matter
whether an English or an African sun may
have looked upon him, there is Faneuil Hall.
[Cheers Ub,, Libertds, ID / patyia, was
Franklin's motto, which Bancroifs lines rem
der well enough
Where dwell the brave, the generous, and the
free,
Oh, there is Romc-no other Romo for me-
[Cheers.
Our welcome to George Thompson to-
night is only the joy we have in grasping his
hand, and seeing him with our own eyes,
But we do not feel that, for the last fifteen
years, he has been absent from us, much less
from the battle to whose New England pha-
lanx we welcome him tonight. Every blow
struck for the right in England is felt where
ever English is spoken. We may have de-
clared political independence, but while we
speak our mother-tongue, the sceptre of in
tellect can never depart from Judah; the
mind of America must ever be, TO great ex-
tent, the vassal of England 1.-TWO stars keep
not their motion in one sphere;' and whoev-
er hangs with rapture over Shakespeare,
kindles with Sidney and Milton, or prays in
the idiom of the English Bible, London leg
islates for him. [Cheers. When, therefore,
Great Britain abolished slavery in the West
Indies, she settled the policy of every land
which the Saxon race rules-for all such,
the question is now only one OF time. Eve
ry word, therefore, that our friend has spoken
for the slave at home, instead of losing pow
"a al, h...
pied, since he was pouring the waters OF
life into the very fountain head of our lite
nature.
Neither have his labors in behalf of other
reforms been so much lost to the slave. The
cause of tyrants is one the world over,
[cheers, and the cause of resistance 10 tyra-
ny is one also. (Cheers.) Whoever, any
where, loves truth and hates error, frowns on
injustice and holds out his hand to the op-
pressed, that man helps the slave. An Hun
garian triumph lightens the chains of Caro-
lima; and an infamous vote in the United
States Senate adds darkness to the dungeon
where German patriots lie entombed. (cheersl
All expressions under the sun are linked to-
gether, and each feels the DEVILS pulse keep
time in it 10 the life blood of every other.--
Of this brotherhood, it matters not what
member you assail, since
Whichever link you strike,
Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.
Cheers.
The cause of Reform, too, is ONE dis
tinct like the pillows, but one like the sea-
II matters not, therefore, in what part of the
Lords harvest-feld our friend has been toll
ing; whether his voice cheered the starving
Hindoo crushed beneath British selfshness,
or Hungary battling against treason and the
Gar; whether he plead at home for bread
and the ballot, or held up with his sympathy
the eyer-hopefhl enthusiasm of Ireland; ev-
cry true word spoken for suffering man, is
SO much done for the negro bending beneath
the weight of American bondage. (Cheers.)
II is said that the earthquake of Lisbon
tossed the sea in billows on the coast of Gu
ba. So no indignant heart is beating any
