Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1851-10-18

arrival at the place, had preceded me but n
fbw hours. AT the next place visited-the
neighborhood OF Mount Hope, few miles
from New Lisbon,-no news Of my coming
had been received but the friends on whom
Called made good use of the half day yet
remaining, and in the evening of the 18th,
Mt. Hope school-house was filled with lis-
teners to discourse OH what to many of
them WINS pretty much new subject. For
believe no address of the kind was ever be-
fore given there. They heard with evident
interest, and hope the seed sown may yet
bear good fruit.
Passing through New Lisbon, on the 18th
I reached the Cool-Spring meeting house,
II know not of what denomination,) about
two p. NJ, and spoke there to respectfully
large assembly of attentive hearers; then,
went on to Columbiann, aud lectured in the
evening, to congregation gathered partly
in large workshop furnished with tempo
rary seats for the occasion, and partly in the
street. A heavy shower which iell-greally
10 the reireshment of the parched and thirs-
ty eartli-just about the time when persons
from mile or two out of town would be
starting for the meeting, probably made the
number present somewhat less than other
wise would have been; but it was quite large
enough still to be worthy, IF that worthiness
depends on numbers,) of admission to some
one of the sectariun synagogues of the place,
none of which were opened to us. This
was the more censurable in this case because
the persons interested in our meeting are of
moral right the owners of large part of ut
least two of these houses which were shut
ngoinst us, and nre therefore, by the exclu-
sion, denied the use of what is in strict JUS
tice, (ihongh not by the letter of legal tech
nicallties,) their own property.
First day, the l4ih, large assembly met
at Carmel, in the forenoon at school-house
of good dimensions, and in the afternoon nj
the Friends meeting-house, both of which
were crowded, while 1 endeavored to set
forth certain relations and applications of
Christianity which do not get preached in
the ordinary Sunday exercises Of the meet
ing-houses, quite so frequently or so expl-
citely rs is desirable. think that most of
those present recognized the doctrine us
genuine gospel truth, and of sort much
needed in these days.

close by being inaccessible to such gath

Slavery talk as could give in four hours of

Methodist meeting house at Petersburg, Ma
honing county, just on the Pennsylvania line,
was opened and occupied by few in the
afternoon, and pretty good number in the
evening, who were willing to hear what
could be said for a cause which like kim
dred one of old is everywhere spoken
against" Perhaps some went away thinking
more favoraby of it than when they came.
AT Lowelville, on the l7th, two meetings
afternoon and evening-both much small
Ter than such meetings in that place ought
to be, were held in the Methodist meeting
house. They were the only meetings of my
tour which decidedly fell short of my expec-
tations. Remembering what a reception
friend Wright and myself met there three
years ago, and hearing in other quarters the
fame of Lowell as n place of mark on ac'
count Of its Anti-Slavery character, con
fess ! was wholly unprepared for the appear
ance of apathy which l found there. Still
was glad to find some firm friends who
seem determined to hold on and hold out

coldness and indifference than is really iel
