Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-02-07
A Voice from Ireland.

Anti-Slavery Society, in approving and vindi-
eating the silence OF Kossuth on the slavery
question. The Boston Commonwealth is quito
out of humor with the Libcrator, for its sayings
and talks about the lack of "common sense"
in its Editor. The True Democrat says, eek
trcmes have met" Garrison and the ultra slave
holders, in their opposition to Kossuth. To
this MIR. Garrison replies that Free Soilers and
Union mon, seem to have an unaccountablc fra
tcrnity in the support of liberty in Europe, by
silence about slavery in America. And really
to us, the meeting Of these two latter classes on
this platform of silence, seems little more
questionable in point of policy then the former.
1t is true that whatever silence prevails in re-
gard to American Slavery, is compensated for
by unwonted noise and confusion about Euro
pcan freedom. But with that we aro not alto
gcthcr satisfied.
We have always thought that Kossuth was
less to be censurcd for his silence, than the del
ogation of the American and Foreign Society,
for before hand inviting and endorsing it.
The following rcbukc for this completely be-
fore the fact, comes to us across the Atlantic
most timely. 1t is from those who may be
deemed in ono sense lockers on, and thus quail
ifcd to give a disintcrcstcd decision; not that
tlcy arc indifferent spectators. Far from it
They are hearty co.workcrs in the cause Of
Freedom, and their carncstncss has prompted
the rebukc. We thank them for it, in the
name of freedom, and the American slaves de-
serted as he is by his fellows in oppression, it
would be balm to his wounded spirit could it
come to his knowledge.
As suggested in these resolutions, VIC doubt
not that tho popular example of Kossu.h will
in future find many imitators. Indeed he is
himself but walking in the footsteps of very
numerous and ilustrious predecessors. But
this granting indulgence by Auti-Slavery men,
will prove fatal to any combination of influence
against slavery. 1t will cause cowardicc and
sin, not mercy and truth to abound.
We may expect from it, from the American
and Foreign Committee and their associates,
and from Kossuih himself still further conccs-
sions to slavery. Kossuth at the North, while
consorting with profcsscd Anti Slavery men,
has been silent in regard to the wrong-and
frequent and loud in his approval of this slave
holding government and Union. What will
he be likely to do among stockholders them
selves; lie wants their blood clotted dollars
They will buy as many musko;s as those Of the
Secretary or members Of the American and For.
cign Society, and he is now on his way to St.
Louis and Now Oslepns % obtain them,
No man on whom the smell of Abblitionism
has passed, whatever his public character on his
private virtues can truvel that route in his
company; should he attempt It rfangrnnn Foote
would leave him dangling upon the arms of
some oak or hickory. His Anti Slavery friends
who have escorted and honorcJ him here, and
have counselcd his silence, must leave him to
cross the Mississippi unattended, or commit him
to the conduct Of such men rs Commissioner
McAlistcr of Harrisburgh, or Judge Kane OF
Philadelphia, who can without Inconvenience
become spanicls at the South, as they have been
blood hounds at the North.
We sorrow 10 sec him seek such aid We
love too well the cause of freedom in Europe
willingly to sec its consistency and glory sa-
cllACcu loI TIC utu OF SuCn AyIailtS.
No honor or aid such as honest mon should
esteem, can como of it, to the cause or its adj
vocatc. We shall be greatly surprised ii ST.
icac5 at tho South shall be sufficient to purchase
the aid that Kossuth seeks. Silence in regard
to the eriis Of s'aray, will do at the North. We
arc here remarkably accommodating and easily
satisfied. But at the South they must have
actual condemnation Of the erils Of w,ireysal H6.
erty; and positive approval of the blessings of
chattcl slavery. II Kossuth shall find it in his
heart to pay the price they ask, they may or.
chance shower upon him their robbcr gold
But in this view of the case VIC can bid him no
God speed in his Southern mission. We know
too well the price success will cost him.
Defeat in his plans, will be victory for the
cause Of General freedom. 1t is so, Kossuth
himself being judge. In his speech at Glove
land on Monday last, most solcmnly and truth
fully he said ''Would dospots fight and gain
have they ever fought and gained, to make ma
tions free: appeal to the conscience of Erin,
to God, and to history. lie WHO SIDES
WITH DESpOTS WILL BECOME TIIIER
SLAVEg
Alas how true-.our govcrnment--our
church-our people present their millions of
degraded and enslavcd witnesses to its truth.
And Kossuth will not escape. Aye lie has not
escaped, the power of the despot. But We will
stop. Tho following arc the
