Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1854-09-02

organ of our national Society.
No. VI.
Res9lred, That the rapidly increasing demand
for anti-slavery literature, the multitude Of facts
and arguments touching slavery in the columns Of
the newspapers, the Increasing number OF dis
courses from clcrgymcn on slavery and Our relations
and duty thereto, the invitations extended to men
known as radical abolitionists, to address literary
the frequency and carncstncss of discus
si0ns, private or public, On this subject, South as
well as Nor'h, and the fact that eminent men are
beginning to calculate the value Of a slaYeholding
Union, are cheering evidences that the efforts Of
the abolitionists have not been vain and pOWcrlcss.
No. VII.
Resolccd, That although We may gladly see in
the hostility to the Fugitive Slave Law, and in the
widely popular Anti-Nebraska movement evidences
of n growing spirit Of resistance to the slave pow
er, yet, believing Slavery to be always and every
where 4 crimeour warfare is nutonly against its eX-
tension, but its very c&istencc,o our opposition to the
Slave system, not geographical but universal, not
as a question Of political eXpcdiency but of princi-
pie and duty. That we not only deny the right Of
the National Legislature to allow Slavery TO extend
into Nebraska, but to pass laws, uphold C0nSlitu-
tons binding It's in any way to support it in the
SlAyc-oWn'ng States. That we viii not only liso-
hey the Fugitive Slave law Of lGJO-iuiamous be-
You'd parallel us it is-but will ever tramplo under
foot any law which gives slavery 4 right 10 exist
anywhere in the land.
Resolced, That in the Fugitive Slave law the
passage Of tho infamous Nebraska bill, the efforts
Of the Administration for the acquisition of Cuba
the nyovel determination of Shareholders that they
will have that island either by purchase or war,
and that their object in its anniexatiou is to aain
new Slave territory, and thus strengthen the in
stitution the well known preparations Of iilibus-
ters for its invasion contrary to all laws human or
divine the connivance or tame nretcnce of opposi-
sion to these lawless schemes on the part of the Ma
tional Government; the nronosals lately made in
Congress to break cr our treaty with ENGLAND and
France, for the suppression Of the African Slave

NO. VIII
Whereas this Society, in common with the Amer
lean Nation, believing the historical and adjudgcd
meaning of the various clauses Of the Constitution
of the United States, to be their true construct
ion, and that tie people Of the whole country have
agreed with one another to suppress instructions
by the National army, those of Slaves against
their masters, among others, to make no State laws
securing the freedom Of Slaves escaping from L
slave State, into Il free State, but to permit a mas

mean, cowardly and cruel, setting at defiance thu
first principles OF Christianity and Of Republican

Therefore, Resolved, That it is because OF these
