Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1851-09-13
Diaholisal,


Tho Monsters who claim John Bolding are It
seems from the following official announcement,
willing to sell their human brother for the sum
Of $4,000, after they shall have the satisfaction
of taking him at the expense Of the govern
ment to South Carolina And what do they
want Of him in South Carolinas Only for tho
torture. Doubtless his laceratsd flesh will pay
the price Of the cruel revenge they seek. And
their bloody henrts will triumph In tho thought
Of compelling their miserable serfs at the North,
TO pay the expense Of his journey TO the whip
ping post and pillory at Columbia, and the
hangman for inHcting the stripes. We have
heard Of Indian tortures and reHncments of
cruelty, but what ia thisi Who can character
ize or who describeiti hg
The moral character Of the nation that can
authorize such transactions by law Is clearly de-
veloped by this cord Of the Marshal and the
other attendant circumstances Of this outrage.
This trafiicing in human souls.-This sundcring
of human heart strings-not in Carolina, but
in New York City. This separation of honest
honorable men from their virtuOue, intelligent
wives, just at the hour Of Maternal trial -
Think of It, citizens of the Union--read this
card-listen 20 all the facts in the case Of John
Bolding-remembe he Is sent to slavery by the
power of the FEDERAL UNION, and in sus-
tanning that Union you Sustain the cruelty and
tho injustice.
From the New York Evening Post.
The following card has been furnished us for
publication .
In relation to the slave John Bolding, would
state he has been sent to South Carolina under
the decision of the Commissioner. He has gone
hinder the charge of my son as deputy. Whom
$4,000 is paid 70 me, am 70 hold the same,
telegraph TO South Carolina, and his master is
to have him returned under charge of the same
deputy, and on his being delivered safe in this
city, aud his master executing the papers satis-
factory to the counsel for the slave, am to pay
the money over; if these conditions are not
complied with, the money is to be returned to
those who have contributed il.
It being understood that 8 500 10 demanded
for the slave, and the $500 for the expenses of
his reclamation.
H. F. TALMADeE. U. s. Marshal.
New York, Sept. 2, 1851. y
The New York Tribune speaking of this, talks
of "shylock" "extoItion," and "rspacity,"
because the kidnapper asks $4,000 for that
which costs him $1,000. But what of that 1t
is not the amount asked, but the ASKING, that
damns the deed. He says "such rapacity does
more than a thousand abolition lectures to ron
der slavery odious." Thank heaven If anything
will render it odious to this people. But there
is too much truth in the representation. 1t is
not what slavery is, that the people ask-but
what it costs! They will save slavery or abol-
ish it, which ever shall prove cheapest. 1t is
true, that he who defrauds his neighbor of
dollar is infamous, but he who chattelizes him
and reduces him to brute is honorable, and
welcomed in fellowship to the government.
More recent accounts states that the money
has been raised and the young marshal tele-
graphed to bring him back.
