Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1855-09-15

If the proximity of Slavery, the legal protection
surrounding it, the brutality ofcarrying it out had
not undermined already the sense of Justice and
the love of Liberty of the Americans to high
degree, and created universal Generalization of
public opinion, movements like those We have to
battle against to-day, would never have been pos
sible.
To deny the rights of men, to refuse political
liberty and lawful equality, to tread upon and
annihilate Mans dignity, to forget all humane
about is the result of slavery, of being used to
and approving Of this execrable institution, that
cannot otherwise but ruin, from the foundations,
all sense of justice and honor of nation. The
Democratic Party, that since the days of the Ne
braska Bill deserves no other denomination but
this Generalization of public opinion, and its con-
sequences, the Nativistic organization. When you
teach theft you must expect to be robbed. The
German slavery paper, who defended the Nebraska
bill and the Fugitive Slave law, ought to retire be-
fore the Nativistc movements, in the darkness of
shame; they have no right to speak against this
movement; they see only the reflex of their doing;
they hearthe echo.of their own voice. We alone, the
Liberal Party, who Acknowledgements rights to all
men, who regard the universal rights of Man as
the foundation of political liberty noe have the
rights to revolt against any effect of tyranny, and
under our flag only, the adopted citizens have to
defend their rights.
great part Of the Germans had given up the
connection with the democratic party in the days
of the Nebraska Bill. But it is more urgent now

stands too high and firm to entrnst it to the pro-
lection of the SORTS of Slavery. Not the Nebraska
Knights shall stand as guards on the threshold
of our rights. The democratic press, instead of
placing themselves upon the platform of universal
rights and Jefersonian philosophy, and to fght
from! this stand point against Nativism, they
advise voluntary subjection, return to serfdom of
Shareholders and ofice-hunters. The more the
democratic papers speak of liberty and right, of
German honor and nationality on this occasion, the
more disgusting and intolerable they become
Ths Nebraska papers have no right to take the
words honor and right in their mouth. We will
bring in memory the course of these papers. At
the time Of the election of Franklin Pierce they
defended the compromises. When the Nebraska
Bill began to appear they declare themselves
against this breaking of peace and honor. New
York Staatzeitung, Banner, potksfrennd, OF Mil
waukie. etc., were against the bill But as soon
as the bill received the support of the administra-
tion and was made the of office hunting, they
defended il. Here follows the enumerationof all
the consequences Of the Nebraska outrage.) And
such people who have in reserve justification for
any brutality an appeasing word for every shame

for each kick. Such people dare to write against
Know-Nothings. Where do they take courage
We wait for an answer.
