SLAVE

JONATHAN IlUDDLEsToN in sending his subscription
for the Buglc, says:
The question often rises in my mind what shall
we do-"what shall we do to be saved" Well | re-
member of reading or hearing somehow of mo
cross, no CROWN" and / often think whether the
time is not come, or coming, when we had better
believe in and 90 to living out that doctrine. l
also remember hearing or reading in some old book
that "without sacrifice there is no remission of sin, "
whether had we not yet better make the sacrifice of
abstaining from purchasing the slave labor produce
and set about it at once with O, zeal and devotion
commensurate with our profession, doing as we
are doing is both impolitic and sinful; impolitic by
strengthening and building up the slave holder that
way and the many other ways, that they will soon
become so strong the way we go on as to make
slaves lit appears) of us all. 1t has at length be-
come very evident that they want to do it. Why
"Preserve US Lord from evil, should we pray,
Yet ~willfully pursue the evil way"
Perhaps the almighty dollar or dime, or even a
cent is the difficulty, even those of the religious"
society of friends, las they are so careful to desig-
nate themselves,) some of them will enquire the
difference in the price between slave or free pro-
duce and being told that a yard of factory, or a
pound of coffee or sugar from the slaves labor can
be afforded one cent cheaper, he will reply "ah the
poor slave / pity his hard case, but l know how |
come by my money l must make it 60 as far as /
cam must take the cheapest" now this man
virtually acknowledges that he himself does not
consider his religion worth one cent-that he would
not give one cent for it. But to the glory of that
society, let me here say that l have heard of one Of
their members who has said that he would &C
twice as far and pay twice as much and take thai
which was not half so good, before he would thus
sustain slavery, now if ali of that society were thus
devout-thus sacrificing, it would have i believe
a powerful effect towards breaking up slavery il
this nation.
There is q certain writer now in this nation; hi
is a man of great trave.-great observation and in
formation, who has said that the methodist s%ociet,
are numerous enough of themselves to destroy thi
great evil by abstaining from the slave produce
!, We have said above that without sacrifice there i
/, no remission of SINS" and l have thought of late
t if this is not the very sacrifice we have yet got t
f make, and whether we shall ever be able to journe
D forward till we do it; the children of Isrial

against this kind of an evil, could not get forwar

after that l think we are told their way opened t

nations who have gone before us.
WORSE THAN SLAvhRY.-A man, a free citizen {

d s%titution of a southern State, is now confined i
d Salem Jail for no crime and no allegation of Grim,
~ and it requires no United States soldiers or loca
police to protect him in his Imprisonment, becaus
there is no such sympathy for the man and no sue
abhorrance of the sort of oppression which he en-
1t dures, as to create any danger of a rescue. He
