Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-12-11
Buying Slaves,

verified, ms regards the northern slave market.
The shareholders uannge their card so adroit-
y, as to keep up their market at both ends
of the Union, Their hale, strong, and yet
submissive chuttcls, ave sent south or sold
near hone, while the dangerous ones who
run away nre TO be caught If possible by
commissioners and Castle. garden men, aud
then purchased, thus making capital for
themselves, both north and south. At the
moth being reputed good anti.sluvery men,
and at the south good blood-hounds. Then
nenin application is almost daily made to
nbolliionisls, and the humane Of all classes,
TO purchase the less valuable chnttels, wo-
men aud children, nged fathers, bereaved
and distressed mothers and graudmoihers.
Thus besides supporting the government,
which whatever else 1t may he, is massive
structure for the support of slavery, our
pockets are continually picked for the bene-
fit of individual masters. The late Lennon
case in New York, presents n new phase of
the trade. However little sympathy we may
have with those who paid the five thousand,
aud we suppose they don't ask any, as it was
u nice commercial transaction, we can but
feel some interest in this new method of cx-
tending the traffic, among us. II gives us
clearly to understand That there will he 10
want of prclexts aud occasions 80 long ns
challels exist.
This being so, it may bc worthy Of con-
sidcruion, whether we should not adopt Mr..
Rankin's plan us proposed in our last paper,
and buy them out at wholesale. Could ii
not be made economically, an improvement
and children, that SO marks us MS nation
al peculiarly. Certainly there is force in
one of MIR. Rankin's reasons, viz. That MS the
whole country las sustained the system for
love or gain, the irhoie country should bear
the burden of its removal. Nothing surely
can be more unfair, thun that Our northern
shareholders should slip out aud throw the
burden OF the loss, il loss there he, in the
removal of the system, upon their southern
partners.
The Tribune rebukes the New York tra-
ders in cutting style hear it:
To SOUTHERN DEALERs.-Your attention
is respectfully invited TO the advantages this
market offers for the sale of your human
property. Most other kinds of merclIanciZe
aud cattle may lie more proiitubly disposed of
elsewhere, but for "nlggers" there is no
place like New York. It's astonishing, the
grccnncss Of the New Workers in this branch
OF Irnde. You can get full prices aud over,
for women, Youngsters aud babies that nre'nt
worth half price where people buy nggers
to work 'en. On six or eight head, YOU may
clear us much MS $4,000. All you have To do
is 10 let your goods run away aud catch them
here, or else bring them yourselves on the
way to Tcxns. Either method will prove
successful aud fetch the cash.
n. B. This mode of selling don't hurt tho
conscience. You give the poor devils their
freedom, deserve well OF Heaven, aud don't
loose n cent by il. This is great advantage.
One of the last appeals is the following.
The cases of thousands of other wives aud
mothers,mako the like pressing appeal. From
one learn the condition aud hardship of all.
