Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1855-09-29

Garrison and his conductors are known as inf
dcls. That they are inGlcls, it would be foolish
to deny. They are not infdel 20 truth, justice,
humanity or amy Of the fundamental principles
taught by Jesus Christ, this is not what is Under
stood by the term infel-but they are infdel to
the popular religion. The Anti Slavery movement
has been emphatically, nm inflel movement. On
the one hand, the Anti.Slavery agitators have
found the popular religion their greatest hindrancc
and Orthodox priests their most bitter determined,
and formidable opponents. On the other hand,
the Anti-Slavcry agitation has done more TO de-
stroy confidence 10 Orthodoxy, than all else com
bincd. The popular priests long ago discovered
that abolitionism was their most dangerous ene-
my, and they have governed themselves accord
ingly.
The principal il not the only Object in forbid
ding reference to other questions than -anti-Sla-
very on the Anti-Slavery platform is to secure the
cooperation of such orthodox rs are willing to
work against Slavery, if they can do so without
getting soiled by contact with infdels. But in
this case, as in every other, those who go out of
their way to accommodate towards and bigots, get
their trouble for their pains. They who will not
labor for humanity because those of q different
faith are at work also, can we'll be spared from the
field. But these pious world-savcrs after seeing
the wicked infdels gaggca for their especial bcno.
6t, though as jealous as ever in the work of ex-
terminating the whole race of infdels, exhibit no
more regard for humanity than before. So it ever
has been, and so it ever will be. Popular religion
lists have ever been the bitterest foes of reform in
every shape. lie who strikes a blow at the popu-
religion strikes a blow for universal reform, and

is undermining the popular theology.
But though Garrison has done all he could to
accommodate his fastidious and not-to-be-p pleased
Orthodox friends, he never has succeeded in carry
ing out his plan of excluding all questions, save
anti-slavery, from his platform. Tho Woman.
Rights question came up and asked for q place on
the platform, and Garrison was not the man to
deny it a place. The Garrison party vowed it
self a womans' rights party, and while claiming
all along, to be a oncidea party, it is a notorious
fact that it is at least a tro-idea party In this case
the policy with which am quarreling, was ignored
entirely, and although the disunion of the Society
and the alienation of q large portion Of its friends
was the result, ia terrible result, in the eyes Of
timid policy men, Justice demanded il, and time
has demonstrated the wisdom of the course pursu
ed; and this notwithstanding the Rev. John Cham.
bers & Co., were as effectively excluded from the
platform, as though infdelity had been preached
upon it.
AT the Anniversary meeting you seemed to con
slider yourself an Engaged freeman; and although
you said nothing that any intelligent abOlitionist
could consider out Of place or uncalled for, you ex
posed the rottenness of the popular religion &c
the gaze of the world. Others will catch your spirit
and initiate your example, and abolition lists will
ere long learn that not only Orthodox h~umbugs
but land monopoly, and marriage and all other
kindred denominations are the props of chattcl-slo
very, and may appropriately, be exposed and de
nounced on the Anti-Slavery platform.
