Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-09-11
Daniel Z. Tildsn- Whig ElteliOneering.

Mr.. 1ilden, who was n Free SOler in
1913, has addressed u letter 10 Joshua X
Gidding@, giving his reasons for supporting
General Scott lie urges upon Mr. Gddiugs
that his plans are impructicable. That the
only hope of preventing the extension OF
slavery, is TO elect General Scott. lie con-
tends that Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Free Democracy to escape from the support
of slavery, its guilt is still upon them, as
upon the other parties. That the 10Th reso-
luton Of the Pittsburgh platform, recognises
the return Of fugnives. Mr.. Tilden evident
ly remembers the arguments of the disun-
ionisis, which Mrs. Foster aud others, years
ago so effectually hurled at Mr.. Giddings,
himself, and others. Arguments which nei-
tier OF them have, or cun answer; nor will
they attempt it. Mr.. Tilden does most un-
nnswerably condemn MIR. Gidding's position,
but every blow tells us heavily upon his own.
How he escapes from his own argument we
do not see. Tint however is n matter of
no importance in the system of electioieer-
ing adopted in this region. Wings who can
say nothing in coulmcndniion OF their own
platform or candidate, expend any amount
Of eloquent aud virtuous Indignation upon
the pro-slnvery Of their opponents. The
democrats return tho favor, with ample inie-
rest, aud thus the country is blessed with the
declaration of a very considerable amount
Of truth. We only hope that both may OBJ
tain for their statements, full credence from
the community. Mr.. Tilden is trying his
hand upon the Free Soilers, somewhat in
the same line.
On Tuesday evening, General Larimer Of
Pittsburgh, and Lawyer Upham OF New
Lisbon, made desperate assault upon the
Free Soilers in Salem. These men were
perfectly on fire with terrible Indignation
against the pro-slavery, slave-caiching and
slavery extending Democratic party. No
man in Salem could feel half their indigna-
ton against slavery. An indignation unim-
agined aud unmanageable. Wont some
body hold them.) II beggared all language

Thus iudescrihably concentrated, il had been
injected into their veins at birth and was
now besrneared oil over them, SO that their
very faces shone with ahoiiionism, like that
of Moses on the Mount. So intense WINS it,
that nothing could satisfy il, except voting
for General Scott, who they told us was the
handsomesi man in the nation! Wings are
strunge men. We don't think anybody else
could have got down from this intensity o
anii.slavery, TO the admiration of persona
beauty. Probably this diversion was th'
reason they forgot to expectorate on their plat
form; though they did favor us with some
thing of an exigesis of the Democratic
scripture. Both of these speakers, wer'
also greatly concerned for the preservation
of the Free Soil Party, which they wer'
sure would go to the buggs, unless Free
soiIers voted for the true Free Soil candid
ate, General Scott.
As Mr.. Tilden narrowed our disuniol
