Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1855-02-24
PARKER PILLSBURY IN BRISTOL.

Our readers have not had the pleasure and bene-
fit of Mr.. Pillsbury's correspondence of late. But
for this omission they will be consoled by learning
that a II the strength his shattered health permits
him to employ. is used for the furtherance of the
cause in Britain. And much need there seems to
be of just such efforts as Mr.. Pillsbury, of all
other men is most capable of making. The anti
slavery cause is there assuming somewhat the
form It wears with us. Anti-Slavery has been
popular there, for the notable and titled in church
and State have made loud professions of its prin-
ciples. But the tests which have beeh so success
fully applied here, have also reached there. The
pru-slavery ministers, churches, and missionary soci.
etles Of this country are making desperate efforts to
enlist their British bretheren on their side, the side
of Slavery and to wiring from them an approval
and declaration of fellowship Of Shareholders and
their a5ettors. For this purpose faithful Ameri-
Abolitionists and especially the American Anti
Slavery Society have been slandered and misrep-
scented without stint. And ministers there as
here mingle with their denunciation of Slavery,
their anathemas against the intidelity of Abolition
lists. Under these circumstances, to build up an
intelligent, genuine anti-slavery sentiment, that
shall put moral principle in its true position-in
advance of orthodox dogmas and sectarian Or
CARNATIONS is a work to which Mr.. Pillsbury can
largely and eHectually contribute.
From the last Anti-Slavery Advocate we learn
that he has visited Bristol and delivered several
Anti-Slavery addresses. At one of these meet
ings the following resolution was adopted.
"Resolved, That the cordial thanks of this meet
ing be given to Parker Pillsbury, Esq, for his
deeply interesting lecture and that he be reques-
ted to convey to the American Anti-Slayery Soci.
ty, of which he is an able and efficient member,
our sincere sympathy with them in their arduous
labors our confidence in the great principle on
which they are conducting the abolition movement;
and our admiration of the fidelity and selfsacrifce
with which, during a period of more than 20 years.
amidst fierce opposition, and the most cruel mis-
representation both abroad and at home, they have
pursued their noble career; consistently denOunc.
, ing slavery as a sin against God, opposed to the
spirit and principles of the Gospel, and to the
3 sentiments Of our common humanity demanding
freedom for the slave as his Just and unalienable
right, and claiming for him immediate and uncon.
: ditiOnal emancipation.
From the Advocate we copy also the following
E paragraph.
We learn from the Bristol Mercury that, on tn
G evening Of Thursday, Jan. llth, Mr.. Pillsbury de
: liyered Il very instructive address to the pupils q
the Bristol Asylum for the Blind, upon the anti
slavery cause III the United States. This suhlec
: has for many years excited the deep interests O
: the inmates of the Blind Asylum, and their sym
f thy has been evinced by annual contributions t

their own expense.
