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

OF all classes of Shareholders the new school
Presbyterians, seem best pleased with the course of
their northern allies. Since the last Assembly
they have frequently given expression to this salts
faction. The latest we have seen is a letter from
Rev. DR.. Eagleton of Tennessee, published in the
Philadelphia Christian Observer.
Twenty years ago, DR.. Eagleton was an Anti
Slavery man, who talked and preached against the
sin. lie was no doctor of divinity then, but an
earnest faithful preacher of rightcousness-a pro-
gressive man, now conservatism against anti-slavery
is his hope for the church. lie says:
"In looking back and reviewing the proceedings
of our late General Assembly, l am much %gratifed,
and encouraged to hope for good results to our
branch of Zion. The prospect of united, vigorous,
efficient, and successful cooperation, is, in my
view, more favorable than it has been for many
years. l went to the Assembly with a heavy heart,
regarding the issue of its proceedings as of a very
doubtful character and not knowing, indeed. but
that the churches in the southwest would be under
the painful necessity of Withdrawing and forming
some new organization. Bot the spirit that perva-
ded the Assembly throughout, was kind and fra
ternal and the closing scene was tenderly affect
ing-almost overwhelming. Another division Of
our church would be more unwelcome to me than
death itself. | do hope that God in his infinite
mercy will, for Zion's sake, prevent so great a dis
aster. The great enterprises that are now before
the Church, will, l trust, operate as bonds of union.
But no enterprise can harmonise and save the
Church without the special blessing of its glorious
Head and Lord. Not a little of the harmony that
obtained in the Assembly, paS owing TO Philadel-
Iphia influence. / I'M not acquainted ,oiM any place
where there is a more healhy conservative Influence.
Should such q conservative influence pervade the
masses of the people, North and South, East and
West, no created power could rend eitherthe Church
or the State. Would that the whole nation were as
the city of Brotherly Love isW
Mr.. PILLsBURY, Was at last accounts vigorously
engaged in advocating the cause of the slave in
England. Of his labors Immediately after the great
Manchester Conference, Mr.. Farmer, q correspon
dent of the Liberator says:
On Thursday last, Mr.. Pillsbury and Mr.. Powell
addressed a large audience in an Evangelical In
dependent Church in Manchester. One of the
immediate practical results from their preaching
was, an intimation given to Mr.. Pillsbury by {
lady, that SO powerfully had the minds of herself
and several other ladies been impressed with the
recent anti slavery proceedings in Manchester, thaI
they had come to a determination to send a large
box Of articles, which had been destined for anoth
er direction to the next Boston Bazaar. Mr.
r Pillsbury has received an invitation to preach to
morrow Sunday in the pulpit Of the Rev. f
Howarth, of Bury. Mr.. Pillsbury has also offered
