ANTI-SLAYERY BUGLE.
NORTH WESTERN OHIO.

DEAR MAnfrs; once thought this north western
Ohio had no place so low in moral sense, rs to use
clubs and eggs for argument. But such places we
have, even here. Not very long ago a class Of such
combatants commenced assault and battery on tho
school house in Lockport, Williams Co., Ohio, for
the purpose Of breaking up series Of meetings that
was holding there at that time, onti-sloyery
and other reforms. They scattered the window
glass freely and thrust open the door with mobo-
cratic vengeance, storming and bowling like mad
men. During this time plead with my friends to
carry out peace principles towards their mobocratic
neighbors. This was complied with AT that time,
and a natural consequence, the mobocr0s retired
TO their resting places, with shame and confusion
of face, feeling really defeated.
How soon we could accomplish our work, dear
Brother, if such were our only opponents. But
thou very well knowcst that we have a more for
mdaLlc class in our way to success. The real
hackers of clubLcrs and cggcrs--thc hiSseys-on.
This class is found in every sectarian nook and
corner of tic political and religious world. They
are anti-mobocrats, with very significant INIT.
Thus they say, ." am as much opposed to mObo-
crazy as any man can be, JW those abolition inGdc
ought to be tarcd and feothcrcd, or dubbed and
cggod out Of our ncig ghborhood" The cluJlcrs ask,
"Why?" The hisscrs-on answer "Thc slave Is
the least of their concern. They only wish to
break down all government, law and order, bible and
religion They do not believe in getting married,
but 60 for having men ard women live together
pronscuously They are iuddcl at heart Of the
'basest kind. Their Object is to break down the
church Of God, &C., &C..
At every place We have yo; lctturcl, more or Ices
of the above false charges and base ISLANDERS were
Immediately circulated with zeal that belongs ,o
a better cause. They lie in such a sanctimcnious
manner, and so earnestly and pcrsctcrngly that
ii would lie no misnomcr to call tlcm sincere liars
and sandcrers, and therefore tie more injurious
10 the cause of humanity, aud damning to them
selves These men are in chains OF darkness
Slaves Of a very dcprayed association. armed not
with clubs, eggs and bowic-kuives; but With q
lying, sandcring tongues, gnimaicdb rcigoua and
political bigotry, and blind scctaranisn to deeds
OF murder, not of the rclormers person, hut what
is much more sacred, his moral character.
Oh. thou Slandercr! What hast thou done, and
.whatart thou now doing? Thou art the father OF
iiniquty 'Yhe destroyer Of Edenic bliss. The be-
Enncr and perpetuator of every vice. The support
er of Intemperance, War and Slavery. Thou
hast doomed one seventh of my countrymen to sit
with the beasts of the field, articles of merchan-
disc. Thou hast consigned TO the great American
ha.se of i'll fame, one-seyen.h Of all my country's
kiyr-' ~
n.reb.,rs oh. thou monster of iniqnty There
lis pothing;too vile for thee. Even Jesus the D'oV'
ed tou hast 5clied and slandercd even in thy very
PRAYERS, and all thou didst nntil the robble hung
him between heaven and earth, They were guilty
but thou art douby guilty as the hsscr-on.
Tyu,v yours. for the dcliyerance of liars and
slonderers from their chains Of darkness.
