Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1854-07-15

No BUSINESS IN THE CoNrEDRRAeY. One of the
Senatorial overscers, in the recent series Of insults
offered to Mr.. sumner, said to hun .
Sir, the Senator has chosen TO exhibit u gnud
deal of scnsibility upon abstract questions Of lib
erty; but hcsknows that this C6niedetncy could
not have been formed without a Constitution made
by practical statesmen, in which New England
entered into a compact with Shareholders. If the
sentiments which he cntertains now be the general
of Boston and Massachusetts, it is q
Commonwealth which ought not to belong to q
Con!ederacy of shareholders. That ought to be
their feeling. If they cannot associate with us,
under common Constitution, let them say So"
Just go we think. These Shareholders adopt the
right line of policy for themselves, and here they
have indicated the right course to Mr.. Sumner and
his anti-slavery cohiedcra,es. If Massachusetts
is in sentiment opposed to the return of slaves, she
mas no business in a persistent slayc-catching and
slave-returning confederaey, and the sooner she
gets out of it, the better for her character and for
the cause of freedom. If Mr.. Sumner thinks it n
dogs business TO catch slaves, why sit in political
fellowship with the wretchcs who seize, them and
the masters who hiss them on, and thus give sane
ton and actual influence in favor of the bloodhound
work? 1t is right to learn from an enemy, even il
he mixes his dust of truth with a mountain of in
science and falschood. We are encouraged, for we
think that under slaveholding tuition, the North is
learning that If she is for liberty, she has no bust
ness in this confcdcracy, that is for slavery by her
Constitution, by her laws, by her policy, and by
her determined purpose for all future time. .

No USE IN TRYING.-There is no use in trying t.
please the Shareholders. Miss DELLA A. WEBSTER
has tried it thoroughly. After her imprisonment
in the Kentucky penitentiary for alleged assistance
rendered to fugitive slaves, she disclaimed aboli
tionism, and finally went back to Kentucky t.
reside. Again she was arrested and tried. but nj
shadow of evidence found against her. But no
content with this persecution, the chivalry followed
her to Indiana, and the last account we have seer
of her is the follcwing:- ., r..H
W learn that Miss DELLA A.. WEBSTER wal
arrested on Saturday evening, and committed Il
the Jail of this city. Miss W. was arrested on
requisition Of the Governor Of Kentucky upon tn,
Governor of Indiana, with a design of convcyin;
her to Kentucky, to be tried Cor an alleged ofens
said to have been committed some ten or lively
years ago. But before the prisoner could be gottel
issued, from the State, q writ of hdJeas corpus wa
uAder which she was taken out Of the hand
ofher pursue:s, and lodged in Jail for the time being
Tomorrow the validity IF the reduisition will b
tried before Judge Walker.
Tie arrest was made in Canaan, or its vicinity
and has caused very great excitement in that quar-
Ter. The IDEA seems to prevail, that, ~inasmuch n
her arrest and trial not long ago, for cnticing slave
lway from their masters, failed not only of convi,
ton, but in showing the least evidence Of crime, he
enemies are now making her II victim of persecution
by urging an n lnjss forgotten char re. "-Ma7i,o
