Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1853-11-19

and honor them for their inlexible devotion to the
anti-slavery cause.
Since the above was written our attention has
been called to another article in the Michigan Free
Democrat, commenting upon the opinions of Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, 1.-THE well known abolitionist)
and the resolutions adopted by the colored nhabi-
tants Of Detroit, respecting Mr.. G.. and his coad-
tutors.
Highly as we have ever esteemed the editors Of
that journal, we very widely differ with them in
regard to the course which they have pursued
towards these anti-savery friends since they adj
dressed the citizens of Detroit upon the subject OF
their mission. Their object was distinctly avowed
by them in the start. 1t was not to build up q
political party religious sect, but to expose
American slavery, together with every thing that
bostered it up no matter whether that was to be
found in Church or State. This we believe, is the
third article which has appeared in the Democrd
against the Fosters and Mr.. Garrison: the two
first of which the colored people of Detroit fell
called upon to protest against by the resolutions
alluded to above. After the Democrat gave them
or portion of them an insertion in their daily
the corresponding editor put his comments upon
them, which he had perfect right to do. But
why would he give publicity 10 these comments
through his weekly, without the resolutions tC
which he refers, being with them? This is what
we complain Of
/ As far as Mr.. Garrison's religious views are
concerned, We have nothing to do with them
Three millions and half of our countrymen arc
to-day in chains; chattelzcd and sold like thu
beasts of the field and they are evidently held $,
by the combined influence Of the American Churcl
and State, and we have, therefore, time to stol
and ask every who to aid us in regainin;
our freedom, what their theological opinions are
We will just here give q portion Of the articl
which appeared in the last Weekly Democrat.
"MR. GARRrsoNs OpINioNs."-By inserting il

: Mr.. Garrison is doubtless fully able to set hin
self right upon all ofthe above charges.
We have reason to believe that the colorcd pc
pie of Detroit, also who are the authors of the re
OlutiOns referred to, have good sense and udgemc

and wrong, aud they can make it known, if the
can get a fair hearing through the Press.
