Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1853-06-04
Letters from Boston.

We have received from IL. G.. Wright, two
letters containing many interesting facts, but
the crowded state Of our columns compels us
to abrdge them. The first was written on the
Goth ult., during tho last session Of the New
England Convention. From this we learn that
in spite of an admission fec, and a hard rain,
the large hall was filled to the utmost. or this
audience, Mr.. Wright says
81 would you, and all Ohio nboliiionists,
could look in upon us, ard see these upturncd,
benevolent, intelligent, and earnest faccs-cvcry
eye fixed intently on Theodore Parker, who is
speaking. No New England audience-no
matter of what sect or party composed
listens with indifference to him. lie is rich and
eloquent in thought-originally expressed -
This is the 9th session. and each; from the first
some crowded. A set of resolutions was intro
duced at the opening Of tho first session,
touching the meaning Of n vote under tho
United States Constitution and the position
of voting member Of this Confcderncy. A
suitable portion of our time has been occupied
| by the Free Soilcrs-rainiy seeking to vindicatc
themselves from our charges. We have charg-
cd them with sustaining the Shareholders, in
their right to obtain the majority, and to WELD
this government in favor Of slavery, and against
libcrty-and pledging themselves TO obey what
ever law Shareholders as the majority, sec fit to
enact, or to submit quietly to Whatever penalty
they shall deem it necessary to inAict.
Theodore Parker is going or in his speech,
and the audience is all intent on catching each
word. lie is reading something to show that this
nation defines the sin against the Holy Ghost,
to consist in setting slaves free, and in pleading
for the freedom of the slave. What College
is Anti Slavery In this College, you dear
Marius and all the rest of us, have received n
better education than you got under the teach
ings of DIR. Beecher, and better than you could
get in any other College or University in the
world. Here, our souls arc educated.
1t is delightful to sit here and look Off upon
this audience, and see their wrapt attention to
the most ultra sentiments that are being utter
cd. l only ask that the Anti-Slavcry of the
| West, could meet the Anti Slavery of the East
in the Melodeon, or in Faneuil Hall, in Boston.
Then let the Anti. Slavery of the East, meet
the Anti. Slavery of the West, in Hawley's
both. The reformers of the East and West,
must know one another better. 1t would
greatly benefit both. Say what they will,
there is no portion of this nation where there
is an opposition to slavery, more intelligent,
more earnest, intense, and widespread, than is
found in the hearts of the people of the Re-
serve. and the counties adjoining. The slave
holding heart Of this nation is one-the anti
slavery heart is one. To it there is no East no
West. That heart beats high with hope, and
moral doing. God strengthen it for the great
conflict. l love the generous, hospitablc, ear
nest heart of the West. May It oil be arraycd
in eternal hostility to slavery"
In the second letter. dated the 9th, Mr.
Wright says;
al am where you and all readers Of the Blu,
gle would like to be, and hearing what yor
would all like to hear. Lucy Stone is speaking
before a committee Of the Constitutional con
vention, appointed to consider and report oil
the petition OF the women, to have the wor'
male" stricken from the Constitution, in it
definition of the Office of voters. We are il
the Senate Chamber of the State House. Tn
chamber is full of men and women, the yer.
persons whose natures would not allow then
to stay away. Lucy is speaking to great efiec
, against the injustice done to the women of tn
state, by its Legislators and Constitution
Deep and heartfelt attention is being given.-
Lucys remarks sink deep into the souls of a
present. Amasa Walker is the chairman {
tho committee. 1t is devouty to be hoped tha
the committee will bring in Report in accord
ance with the wishes of the petitioners-an
give the women the same civil rights that ar
given to men.
"She is telling the committee that If rothl
necessarily tends to corrupt OOn'en, it must ais
corrupt men, and the same argument lies agains
men going to tho polls, and the Legislature
that lies against women. 1t is attrocious i
men, in setting up claim to the right to be
come corrupt, while by fraud and violence
they say women shall not have that right.
"Wendell Phillips next addressed the commit
