Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-10-02


Freedom. We are asked not only to bestow
our money for its support and propagation,
but are also commanded to lavish upon it our
energies. Its uphoders have gone even
further, they have bid US be silent in reference
to il.
Let the Wings look ut the matter They,
vino huve freely discussed the Bank Cues
ton, Tariff Sub.Treusury &c, nre forbidden
to utterthe word Slavery above the most audi
BILE whisper! The Democrats, too, those
uncompromising opponents Of monopoly,
did they not see, he asked, their liberties in
friuged in this interdiction of discussion on
the question of Slavery? Or could it be that
they regarded monopoly in dollars as worse
than monopoly in the blood and bones oi nen?
Monopoly, in this latter way, has got to ex-
ceed all other monopolies. II. Clay said,
that, in 1910, il was estimated at i,relue hun
dred millions Of dollars Aud yet the Dem
ocrots are to bc slen, in regard to it.
We have seen the enthusiastic reception
an Austrian fugitive but recently received
from all classes of our people yet we are
told that we must not only not give triumph-
al receptions to Southern iugiives, but must
aid in returning them to Slavery and oppres-
sion ngain This is an inconsistency, an
anomaly into which nothing but tile greatest
strait for roieS could have betrayed either
party. The above is but very meager alb
stract of Mr.. Myers logical and convincing
speech.
Parker Pilsbury wns next called upon
lie said he was not prepared to make po-
litical speech, being in the habit of taking
moral grounds in reference to the question
under consideration. lie said, the last speak
or had directed his remarks somewhat to the
mocracy was not unknown to him Pills
buryl His native state could boast some Of
the genuine article Of Democracy! She Ind
"ouirode the hard cider flood of le40" the
/" Democratic ark had rested OH her noun
tans." She, in truth, might be called the
mount Ararai" of Democracy. In her was
preserved the "secd corn" Of that party
which latter was TO be scattered over the land.
Now Hampshire was also famous for her
candidates. Lewis Cass, Senator Douglass,
Judge Woodbury., J. p. Hale, Dan. Hebsier,
and lastly the great PIERCE, ore SOUS of
her soil.
The Democrats, he continued, had one
advantage over the Wing party. They were
consistent in their infamy. They were never
troubled with any of those political scruples
wherewirh the Wings in former times had
been troubled. Their present candidate was
known TO the speaker Was much better
mnn than his Democratic friends had given
him credit for. lie [Pierccl said lie accept
ed the Baltimore platform Oh the ground of
its congenaily with his former sentiments.
Nov this must surely have been misrepre-
sentalion, for no Que who had ever known
him judged such evil of him. Ills acts, too,
contradict such an assertion. IL is told OF
him tla, he once gave stick of candy TO n
small hoy whom he met on the street. lie
is reported to have snid, on one occasion,
that he 4" loathed aud nbhored the infamous
fugitive slave law !" but he has, since his ell
ovation TO the position of Presidential candi-
date, denied ever having uttered such sem
timent. What pity he should have ioresworn
the most honorable sentiment Of his life.
Mr.. r. then addressed the Wings. lie
said they had been laughing at their neigh.
bOrs, the Democrats, for some minutes past
and now he wus going to show them hei'
position. They never pleaded guilty to totu
depravity like others For many years they
had been thanking God they were mol Hk,
these Democrats. Well, to be sure, they were
mol like these Democrats They have nov
got man who has, it is said, done the coun
try some service. Aud, he would ask, wla
was necessary to elect their man? Th,
South wants II good hunter, mighty MIN
determination. Then what had the Wing
to do in reference TO their candidate. Wa
il to convince the country of his statesman
ship aud patriotism, or of his blood houn
capabilities ?" All other issues-Bank, Tar
III, Sc, ARE thrown away-this great que'
ton of Slavery is the only issue-the onl
touch-Sione of mans political failh. If he
sound on this poin, of hunting aud chainin
men, it matters little what else he lacks.-
This, then, is the task the Wings have g
to perform before Novetnber next, to cot
vince the South that Scott is blood dog
Throughout the whole of Mr.. P's speec
ran a vein of the richest humor and the mo-
wilherering sarcasm.
Rev. J. +. Clarke, or Meadevile, next ad
dressed the meeting. He said he had cont
