Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1850-11-30
Letter from Parker Pillsbury.

DEAN OLIVER: My purpose was to send
YOU some account Of tho violent breaking up OF
the meeting in Faneuil Hall for the reception
and welcome of George Thompson. But as
you will see all kinds Of reports of it, before
mine could reach you, will pass 1t by; say
ing only there would have been some disgrace
in it, to Boston and Massachusetts, but that
their disgrace was already as deep, and total
too, as Calvinism holds human depravity.--
Consequently there is no danger of further or
deeper disgrace now, no matter what they do.
Just as expected, the meeting was broken up
by mob of boys, mostly under twenty, set on
by the Boston Mall Bee, Herald and other pa
pcrs, and countcnanced by property and
standing" and then apologized for afterwards,
by the Boston Chronotypc, on the ground that
Mr.. Thompson was the guest Of the abolition
lists, his friends, and only friends, instead Of his
! enemies. If the Editor Of the Chronotypc
envics the aboitionists the honor Of so illustri-
Gus guest, (as one must think he docs,) let
| him know that his own treason to the anti
slavery cause, and base betrayal of it into the
hands of the dcadliest foes to Freedom, the Cler-
followed by George Thompson. Otherwise,
instead of the hootings and howlings of bru-
tai mob, he might have been rendered the Free
dom of Boston, and of Washington too and
been the most honorcd guest this Nation ever
welcomed to its heart, since the immortal La
Fayctte. But blessings on his head,) he
chooses rather "to suffer affection with the
people of Cod
l should send you a more detailed report Of
the infamous scenes enacted at the meeting,
only that l am quito sure the Boston cores
, pondent of the Anti-Slavcry Standard, who
was an eye witness, will do it much more JUS
ticc; and to his account, commend you and
your readers. You will probably receive it, as
soon as you will this letter.
In my last, gave you somo account Of tho
late election in Massachusetts. presume the
overthrow of the Wing party may be considered
complete. And now Daniel Webster may ask
the question again which he asked in his ia.
nous speech last March with so much pathos
on the dissolution of the Union. "IfMe Union
be dissolued, tchere shaR SandP Some of VI
were prcsumptuous enough to think, and t,
say. it wont make the slightest difference
where, o mighty "godlike," to any being bu
yourself"
That question has again been forced upon his
ever wakeful consideration, by the downfall o
his party in this State. Where now will he
stand But he has been providing wisely, as
men rate wisdom, for this surprising catastro-
pho. Tho hell of discounted, disappointed
Democracy was moved at his coming, smelling
his approach from afar, and cried art thou
become as weak as We ? How art thou fallen o
Lucilcr, son of the morning, how art thou cut
down to the ground!"
But since the present prospect is, that the fate
of the Wing party in Massachusetts, awaits it
every where else. Daniel Webster, like pru-
dent man forseeing evil, seems determined to
hide himself in the now fast swelling ranks Of
the Democracy.
A few days ago, he was spending short
period of relaxation from business ut his farm
in New Hampshire. This gave him favor
able opportunity, to extend some most signif-
cant glanccs and squeezcs of the hand, to the
not over scrupulous Dame, the Democracy Of
that State-more difficult as to the number and
devotion of her admirers, than to any thing
else. OF easy virtue herself, she readily ac-
ccpts whatever conquest she can make multi
plicity of lovers being her all conqucring pas
sion.
The Great Rejected offered himself and was
accepted. He gave a dinner at his own house,
to which he invited all tho princes of the party
in tho region, far and near. The Boston Post,
the organ of New England Democracy, con-
tanned a long account of the proceedings and
brief extract will suffice.
We published the article from the Post in
full last week, and therefore omit the extract
Ed. Bugle.]
Now said not truly, that Daniel Webster has
fallen and become an arch apostate to the Whie
party faith' But it will avail him nothing
, The South has assigned him his place. his ft.
ness for it having been fully tested They hav,
: constituted HIM their bloodhound, foremost o.
the pack perhaps, but not the keeper of tho
kennel. By no means nor manners. He ha
too often proved himself Betraycr, for that.
!. In oldcn times, tho body of the murdered
G victim was bound fast to the murderer, unit
o they both fell and purified together. With tn
# rotting corruption of Daniel Webster tied to il
r Especially with the Wing party he has muir
It dercd bound to him. Democracy too woul
o soon need only its grave, the world woul
c need only a speedy riddanco from its foul ei
= fuvia.
t Yours for speedy and joyful mourning,
