Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1853-05-14

OuR PAPER has perhaps to some Of our read
crs presented less than ordinary interest because
of the long articles with which we have felt
ourselves compelled to ill it. BY the publica-
ton Of the Discussion between AIessrs. Mann
and Phillips, some of our readers who take the
Eastern Anu-slaycry papers, have in this had
but reprint of those papers, but wc hope they
will indulge us in this. 1t seemed to us impor.
tant that the difference on these points between
anti-slavcry men should be compared in the
most able manner; and We certainly could not
have solectco two mon who would be likely to
do this work moro ably and efficiently than
these. We have, thrciorc, at the expense of
our variety ard many other important matters,
given it to our readers. We have felt tho moro
disposed to do this, as, far as VIC have noticed
not one of the Free Soil papers at tho West has
published the discussion or any part of it, nor
have they hardly referred to its existence. We
think nothing con be lost to good feeling or to
truth, by a comparison of views on this or any
other snhjoct.

To bo against Christ, is to be against right
SO tho Bible teaches so the christian believes,
aud he can no more unite with the inidel in
any moral enterprise, than he can unite with
the STAKEHOLDER in church fellowship, however
jealous that stakeholder may DO in his profess
sions, and seeming practice of some duties Of
christianity. Neither christianity nor anti-sla-
very is point to be carried, no matter how,
but q great principle to be consistently and
universally illustrated and maintained. The
Bugle's standing motto is, "No union with
Shareholders" On the same principle, the
christians motto is, mo union with infdels.''
The union" is as sinful and corrupting in tho
latter as in the former case. This view which
the christian tax es of this matter, Mr.. Walker
must certainly understand. And yet, 30 littlo
respect had he for it, and for the very principle
too, on which he processes to act in regard to.
slaveholding, that he urges Mr.. Scby, and that
too, under the lash of the charge of bigotry, to,
co cooperate, though a believer in christianity,
with abolitionists, even though they are infdels.
lie is willing Mr.. s. should hold on to his
christianity, but wants his union and co-opera-
ton with such aboitionists as II. C. W., and
himself. (3)
Now it seems to me that Mr.. Walker and his
friends who agree with him in this thing, (and
believe the Bugle and its particular friends
generally, agree with him on this point,) act
very much like the pro-slavery churches, and
Missionary Boards Of our country. These
Churches and Boards have had many anti-sla-
very members, and they were in some sense
willing to have these members enjoy their own
opinions in the case, provided they would be
pretty still about it, but insisted that these
members should not cccedc, but continue their
union and cooperation with them as they had
done. They wanted "union," and the control
of numbers and funds, even at the expense of
principle. regret to sec such like things. (4)
One word of explanation here. Several Nos.
of the Buglc containing the articles to which 1
have referred, arc lent to friends at distance,
and l could not consult them, nor quote the
language of the writer's. But l have endeav-
ored, in the substance and spirit of the charges
I have preferred, to keep within the record
If in any thing l am in error, wish to be cor
rected. If | am substantially right wish to
have tho Bugle and its friends stand corrected,
and hereafter do the right and fair thing in the
premises.

An Upright Judge.

Judge SAMUEL HUMPHREvlLLE, one of the
Common Pleas Judges. and Democrat, and by
the way one Of the soundest, most upright and in
dependent of our Judges, gave decision recently
iu Summit Couaty ,averse 10 the infamons crow
bar" law. holding every intelligent man and up
right Judge must, that the tax law of 1852 taxes
banks unequaily. Equal taxation is the rule of
Justice but not of rabid locofocoisn,. The follow
is from the Akron Standards:
Bank of Akron vs. Fred'k Wadsworth, Treas'r
of Summit Co. Plaintiff filed Bill in Chancery
to restrain defendant, as Treasurer, from collect
ing Tax assessed on the Bank under the act Of
1852. Judge Humphreyille held
1st. that q bank is liable to be taxed as an ind-
vidual.
End. that the law of1e52 imposed taxes on banks
that ir does not impose on individuals or other
property.
This decision virtually nullifies the " crow bar
lRw," as far as this county is concerned.
The Bank consented that judgment might go
against it for the whole amount Of tax on the duplI-
cate. aud appealed TO the District Court, where
the question will be tried.

China.


Civil war RACES in China. A formidable insur-
rection has arisen which threatens the overthrow
of the imperial dynasty. The movement is most
important: for if the insurgents are successful all
parts of China win be thrown open to The whole
world.
The insurgents seem to he actuated by an intel
igence and spirit of forbearance truly remarkable.
They respect life and the rights of property, and
this makes the movement strong, pow erful, popu-
lar. The popnlous districts the opuent cities cap
tured, by this couciiiatory course. are won over
and fall readily into the interests of the insurgents
The insurgents have traversed one half of Chi
na. have tested the strength of the Imperial Gov
ernment in twelve out of eighteen districts, and
crease they proceed.
The Proclamation of the insurgents discluses a
religious element, rather auspcious for heather
country. 1t refers to the Old Testament, giving
its history of the Creation by 1.-The Great God our
heavenly Father aliudes to the Flood. TO the de-
liverance of The children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt ard to the advent of our Savior and con-
cudes as follows:
s.And how we would ask, can the Great God fail
to be displeased with meu for worshipping corrupt
spirits, and performing corrupt actions, by which
means they grievously offend against the commands
Of heaven? ? Why do not you inhabitants of the
world awake? Having been born in the present
day when you are permmitted to witness the glo.
ry of Ged how fortunate may you esteem, your.
selves! Happening upon such time as this
when you experience the great tranquility of tnt
! davs of Heaven, it is time for YOU r., awake art

defeated by the Imperial forces before the city {

Men of all sects united. and pledged themselves TO

of the Maine Law receive Legislative sanction
and the accursed traffic is prohibited. The mem
bers Of the Convention pledged themselves. each
to the other, and ALL untedly to the cause, that
they would vote for none other than decided Tenn
perance men, and that if existing parties faed to
nominate undoubted, we'll known and entirely
reliable friends of the principles of The Maine Law
that they would without any regard to party ties
preferences disregard such nominations, and
vote only for such men, without regard to party
position, can be relied upon to support those

Lorin AndreWs--.SchOol Commits
SinlaeP.

We have long since expressed our preference
for this gentleman fer State Commissioner of Com
mon Schools. There is very general desire,
among the friends Of Education and the liberal
men of all parties, to keep this Office from !ne
strife of partisan politics. This is nanfes,ly the
wish of the people. But few bunker democratic
leaders, party hacks true to their low, shriyelled
partisan interests. have succeeded in getting call
issued for State Convention to nominate can
didate for Commissioner! Nevertheless, we be-
lieve the Peoples Candidate will be elected, and
we believe thousands of Democrats will vote for
him, Notwithstanding the partisan nomination of
their purity.
We shall support Mr.. Andrews, because we be-
iieve him competent and efficient, well qualified,
and just the man for the place, and because in SO
doing we contributed and influence to rescue the
office from mere partisan politics. Entertaining
these views, we place Mr.. Andrews name in our
Ticket this week, and shall keep it there till the
October election, with the hearty appreciation, we
doubt not of all our readers.

We propose to furnish the OHIo STAR, for
three months preceding the October election, to
campaign subscribers at 10 certs month, or 80
cents for three months for CASH strictly in ad-
Udnce.
The object in offering she Star at this low rate
just covering the cost, is not of course TO make
money, hut to "circulate the documents" that the
cause of Freedom. Temperance and Social r Re-
form may be advanced.
The three months covering the Campaign sub
scription, will commence July 90, and close Oeto

should therefore, be sent in, far possible, pre-
uious to July 2oh, that we may know how many
