Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-03-27

I
fact, serious, energetic in its effects, and
almost inaccessible to controversy, has not
been able to be verified in manner fixed
and precise, demand with alright what is
to be hoped from this pretended utility of
journalism in the matter Of history, which
is composed not of one Isolated accident,
but Of thousands of accidents, all infinitely
lcss easy 10 verify than that which | have
cited as an example.
Let us suppose now that each Of these
sheets, altogether innocent in thoir disScn-
SONS, yet so little in accord, wishes by u
reasonable concession, to approach itself
some line day, little towards the opinion it
has 80 long blirdly combuird, it is true, but
which nevertheless seemed always somewhat
proper and just Let MS indulge for an in
stnnt IN this sweet dream Of reconciliation
let us embark, crowned with flowers, upon
this hypothesis, with oars Of ivory aud pur-
pie sails.
Let us commence this happy conversion

OF hose journals counting Thirty or forty thou
sand subscribers, aud of cour,e carrying tho
colors ol the opposition.
Figure 10 Yourself tue cXtaiic surprise OF
one oi these forty thousand Subscribers, or
of illc whole forty thousand, m reading upon
awakening, this opening editorial
"lor parties as for men, there arises n
season Of reflection and maturity which
minds rightly constituted attain without fear,
but rather receive on the contrary as the re-
ward oi painful course, the golden apple
OF n too long contest"
llo there oXcIuim the forty thousand
readers, rubbing their eyes, what the deuce
is he after to day, with Ills golden apple;
Golden apple! cries another with
contempt, there is no golden nppcj but let's
see.
The opening editorial thus launches tic
second PHRASE
"il is neither old agc nor decay which
transforms then the belief formerly severe
into the iudUlgcut opinion OF to-day the
hand which struck is the hand which par
dons and raises up. 1t is the union of pow
or and good feeling that operates this change,
which we might call divine were it permit
ted 10 employ term Of character SO
holy"
The forty thousand readers rub their eyes
again. "Ihc devil I" murmurcd they, "he
has some bad news TO tell us-how hc turns
lo-day!"
"Thcse reflections" continued the editori.
N, naturally occur TO ms on the occasion of
le last attack Of arpoplcxy Of the Duke of
Wcllingiou.n
"An iusolcnt hcggar~ said one of the
ory thousand readers
"A rascal, if there ever was on.
a. hruggau ~
"Tho theft who stole tho victory at Wa
ciloo!n
~ General of the Holy Allancc!"
The editorial makes a new effort and con-
iHHcs:
"l'his hero Of England deserves to he iudg-
d to day with the imparliality of history
uconlesahly Lord Wellington was no ord-
.Ury man."
"Och, ughn chokes the reader, sirangled

Discomfort along the whole line.
NO. he was no ordinary man, who, during
ny years and more, combattcd upon all the
alle fields Of Asia and of Europe, now
gainst the ftrocious bands Of the Amccrs,
ow against the best soldiers of ofNapoleon.-
ich, aud noble in race, he might have re-
red from service and enjoyed thirty years
,oncr a rcposc which hc disputes with
cath. Trained in the rude school OF Fred
'ick Of Prussia, hc admitted with the soldier
q other code than that Of nneXiblc discipline.
y discipline lac attained the eud OF all his
Of all projects, ever repulsing
pcstluncc of usm pols--0nd
that other conlagion of the
'rench. BY discipline he lriumphcd in
'orlugal, and thanks TO this quality, carried
y lin even TO virtue and TO genius, he was
nubcd to come forth living from the terri
le embrace at Waterloo. No, he ia no ordi-
ary man, whose maine ranks next to that OF
'aopleon, that great name which, until now,
las suffered no other by its side"
