ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
GERRIT SMITH.

Congressional course, approving of it in the man
but dissenting from and condemning Mr.. Smiths
views on Cuban annexation To this Mr.. Smith
replies in circular, which he has kindly forward
ed us. Mr.. Smith seems to feel himself msrepre-

class of men in the country-abolitionsts and pro-
slavery mcn--and charges the fact mainly to Wig

Western abotionists have done him S''V'O"'

silly. But, alas, too many of them have proved
themselves to be such. The Wings now claimed
with more plausbility and effect than ever, that
