Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1850-09-07

or in such aeasc is easily marked out. 1t is
our duty to scott at the religion Of the day,
which is leagucd together in the support of sla-
very. What shall we rely on to abolish this
slavery in the land It is for US to determine.
We arc to proclaim the Gospel Of Jesus, which
is peace. The redemption Of tho peace Of our
race was the object Of the religion of Jesus.
Our religion is opposed TO this. tits linked TO-
gethor with the constitution. We have made
tho war system part Of our national govern
mcnt---wc have provided for tho army and navy.
Our religion is with this and Il is Anti Chris
tian. deviiish-iti is connected in this work Of
Satan-it Is covered with blood. SO in regard
to slavery. Slavery has grown with the in
! crease Of Afethodsm and Unitarianism and all
Of the various sects, and the longer VIC leave
them, the more and moro We arc given to slave
holding and slavc-brceding. The rcformcr Of
course must lose his reputation. Those who
attack our religion are called ia6dcls. In re-
gard to tho war system, our army has lately
been increased, the navy enlarged, whyi Be-
cause the slave power needs il. We pay cigh.
ty-two cents out Of every dollar given to the
government in support Of the war system, yet
where arc the pulpits and clergy that are thun-
dcring out against this Churches cry long
and loud against crimes that are not respectable.
We have recently been called upon to notice
the death Of President and who was hci A
man who had four hundred slaves, who was the
commander-in-chicfi in the War with Mexico,
which was wagcd to extend slave territory
Gen. Taylor went forward in that war and was
made President, and now his dcvilish deeds arc
all forgotten. What a bounty this is on hu-
man villany Only be villain and you will
have the highest Office on Garth, and perhaps in
heaven. Dickens tells us that he found the fol-
lowing curious cpitaph on tombstone in
church-yard in Dorsctshirc--
Here lies
The body of Lady O'Loonoy,
Great Niece Of Burke,
Commonly called the Sublime.
She was Bland,
Passionate, and deeply Religious;
Also,
She Painted in Water Colors,
And sent several Pictures to the Exhibition.
She was first cousin to Lady Jones,
And of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
This is what the American Church and Clcr-
gy arc saying of the late President:
Here lies
Zachary Taylor,
Subduer of the Seminole Indians,
Invader in the Mexican War,
President of the United States,
Owner OF four hundred Slaves,
And Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
This is the culogy that the clergy are offering
up for Zachary Taylor. 1t is popular on tho
Sunday to culogizc a slavcholding President,
but we arc called infidcls who plead for the
slave on Sunday. This is the reverence VIC
have for the Sabbath day. understand one
of your priests is delivering q course of ser
mons on the Sabbath. 1t is very common and
respectable thing to believe in it. Those who
arc looking for po,oer are sure to be Sabbath
observers. Remember tho priests who are so
jealous in the defence of the Sabbath arc inter
e'tcd 'citnesses-they hare grists in The mill
They rally around this day as holy. 1t is no
evidence of their piety. Arc tho clergy the
men for us' Are the wrongs of liberty to be re-
dressed by the clergy of the land Their God is
public sentiment. Show me the clergyman who
ventures to dissent from the people, and will
show you body Of mon who do love God.-
Do you not sec them always counting public
sentiments Now and then there is one who
ventures 10 offer himself on the altar of libcr-
ty. The clergy are not the ones to lead in Re-
form shall give an example of them; AT
late ordination of a minister of the Reformed
Dutch Church he was told that it was not his
calling to be q moral censor. Here is one who
claims to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ, who is
requested not to look to the morals of men. /
tho't the true duty of a religious teacher was
to cry aloud and spare not. Our religion is ex-
emplifed in other matters. Moses Stuart says
the Bible no where denies the right to hold men
as slaves, and again says 'Slaveryi is wrong in
theory, but he docs not think tho slavery Of
this country demands immediate opposition.-
This is the same as If he had said-God has said
thon shalt have no other gods before me, but
the people Of this land have idols all made and
are worshiping them, and as they have, it's
sin not to be denounced. Moses Stuart has
said this-he is a good mana Christian.
We are free to discard all times and places,
to love our neighbor as ourselves. Always look
well to the act not to the day. Slavery has so
gorged us that We have no character. Henry
Clay is the very incarnation of American men.
We arc compromising people-we need to be
brought back to just principles. The Anti-Sla-
very Reform is radical-it puts the axe at the
roots of the tree. They tell us that VIC are TAX
ing away that religion which recognizes the
buying and selling of men, of our brothers. In
men see the image of God-this is principle.
