Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1855-02-17

M george thompson urged that this should bt
done, as in truth, there were no members in th'
American Congress who held Is the principles Of
antl-savery as they were understood and ac-
knowlodged by that conference and it was strick
en- out.
This was an ungeucrous and cruel act. For it
withheld Il well-oarned tribute of respect from men
who have deserved only the highest encomiums
from the friends of the slave, the world over.
And tho reason assigned was a direct wrong in
ficted. With all our esteem for Mr. Thompson as
British philnnthropst, hls part in this move we
deem specially reprehensbc. More, we deliberate
ly aihTm that his statements arc not correct; un-
less, indeed the principles of anti-sayery as they
were understood and acknowledged by the Brit
ish Society are n copy of the principles Of the
American Anti-Slavery Society in its unreasrn-
able non-yoting policy. But where is the dcclar
alton Of these principles? 1t nowhere appears
ON the records if we judge correctly But if they
are fixed fact, then the opposition to Il dis
tinctiyc recognition Of that Society was very in
consistent.
Although we confess that the striking out Of the
words above did achieve perfect fac SjBiio Of the
natural action of the American Anti Slavery So
ciety. They do ust such things here. And no.
thing more was really necessary to effect the tri-
unph Of the shrewd Yankee on that platform, at
whose prompting in all probability the thing was
done.
We say to the Hon. George Thompson, that high
ly conceive of him rs an ant-slaverv adyo-
cate, the men whom he refused recognizes as
ani-slayery are his peers in that respect, and his
interiors in no other particular. Their relation
to 100000 American slaves, now and forever
is not less honorable than his relation TO the
100000 Of the British Isles. And it was as futile
as it was ungencrOus to attempt TO diminish or
tarnish their fame by an action which that
Conference should have been ashamed to consul
mate.
Parker Pillsbury, finding the effort to secure
compliment for the American Anti-Slavery Society
u failure, undertook to balance the exchange by an
episode Of Abuse of the British and Foreign Soc-
ETY., whose platform he stood on.
Being INDUCED in this by toleration that was
prompted by the many other excclenty severe
things he said truthfully, he was presumptive
enough at Il late hour in the evening, to seek for
an introduction of the same resolution Of compli-
ment to himself and friends in this country. But
it ould not do. 1t seemed really like begging for
favorable notice, and disgusted some Of those pres
ent, so that augriiy retore0, that 1T was not
unreasonable, if these pcoplo tthe American Anti
should come aud ask that Conference to endorse it,
But on being demonstrated with for his lima
turel remark, he frankly admittcdits impossibility
and begged to withdraw it.
A more unsayory thing does not obtrudc itself
on the notice of good people anywhere, than
the boasting OF this classs OF anti-slayery men
who are insisting, in their own little corner at
home, and the mountain-tops abroad, tile teAt-
pie of tie Lord, the temple Of the Lord al Wep

tempt was made to get recognition of the Amer
lean A. S. Society as worthy of appreciation for
its faithful adherence to the cause Of the slave fer
more than score of years and rs much delight
ed to learn that the Conference was 50 lliberal as
to refuse to make any such acknowledgement. But,
while he thinks it was impudent for the old Pon-
Ger Society to look for any such token Of regard,
it was AN ungcnerous and cruel act for the Hon.
GEORGE THoMrsoN to suggest that no special lauda-
ton should be made of the Anti-Slnvery members
Of Congress, if the Conference were not prepared
to do 50 small act of justice to the Society which
had shaken the American nation to its centre
This large hearted editor speaks Of PARKER PMLs-

To arraign that Society, rather its Committee, to
their faces for having been guilty, during the
last fourteen years, Of delaming tie American a,
