Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1856-10-18
REPLY TO J. D. COPELAND.

Mr. EDITOR 81 read an article in the Bugle
signed by j. D., Copeland, which in my humble OPP
pinion is not called for at this time of political
excitement, He begins with the sentimen of po-
litical justice, which is manifestly active in the
minds of the people of the North. The said, j. d.
c., seems to indicate that there is nobody right
but the Radical Abolitionists. For myself | believe
that it is unwise to look for a radical change
in the condition of things at this Presidential
campaign. j. ID. c., seems to intimate that the
same limitation doctrine, WIS preached up twenty
years since, and without effect; yet every true
Republican believes that if the law of limitation
had been fully carried out, there would have been
no compromising with the acursed system Of sla-
very to day. 1t would have died out as any other
evil does, when pent up. ltappears that j. D. c.,
has become wiser than our Republican fathers,
Jefferson, Madison, Washington, and the many
other worthy men who commended for non-extension
of slavery on the ground that if kept within it's
elf it must die, as must any other moral evil
The very elements teach that the doctrine Of limi-
tation is sound philosophy. Intempcrance must
be confined if we want it to die the element FIRE
breaks out of some tallow that some one is clear
ing the fire begins to run through the forest and
destroy every thing before it. In such a case
would it be wise to stop at SEINE old dry log that
was blazing furiously and spend our strength in
extinguishing the fire which causes it, as j. d. g.,
seems to DO laSoring to do in the political World 2
No. Every thinking untrameied man in this case
will run ahead with his strong rake, and clear out
oc the way every thing that will keep alive the
raging fire and it will soon die out, and so 1t Will be
in the political world. If we in November Eext
elect Fremont, for President, and prevent Slavery
from poluting any more virgin soil. the institution
of Slavery begins to die u sure death,

"a BEAUTIFUL r.

Under this head there is circulating in many of
our Republican exchanges the following extract
fSom one of Elk Senator Corwin's old speeches.
The first two sentences are rather diaIolical than
beautiful" They are utterly subversive Of
Justice and Of all moral obligation. They declare
that whenever the laws make men property, the
speaker will treat them as property and Oxford the
claimant of this species of property the protec-
ton of the Constitution. 1t is only q repetition
in other words of Clay's famous declaration, chat
is property which the law makes property." 1t is
not very different from the principles of the Re-
publican party. Senator Corwin when he made
this speech was a Henry Clay Wing, and we
have here another evidence that the Republicans
are not only on the Henry Clay platform in their
doctrine of Slavery restriction, but also in that of
Slavery protection. But we give the passage with
all its beauties"
A BEAuTlrUL ExTRAcT.-In the States where
law and long usage have made the Slave property,
as property | treat it. 1t is there, and while there
it should and will receive the protection which the
Constitution and gdoj neighborhood of the States
afford and require of our hands. But | should be
false to my best convictions OF duty, policy and
right, il by my vote | should extend it one acre
beyond lis present limits. | may be mistaken in
all this, but of one thing | am satisfed-of the
honest convictions of my own judgement, and no
imaginary interruption of the ties which bind the
various sections of the confederacy shall induce
me to shrink from these convictions whenever
l am called upon 20 carry them out in law, If ]
part company with sohe here, whom | habitually
respect, | still find with me the men of the past
whom the nation venerates. | stand upon the or
dinances OF 1877, there the path is marked by the
blood of the Revolution. | stand in company with
the men of 1857, their locks wet with the mists Of
the Jordon over which they passed their gar
ments purple with the waters Of the Red Sea.
through which they led us of old, to this land of
promise; with them to point the way, however
dark the present, hope shines upon the future, and
discerning their foot prints in my path, | shall
tread it with unfaltering trust,-Senator Co,,cin.

sPIRIF OF TEE MORNING PRESS

The Union continues its series of articles
upon the Kansas question in connection with
the late cficial documents, and having demon
strated by various facts the concert Of action
between the Republican conspirstors in Con-
grsss and the rebels in Kansas, closes oy
putting the question:
"Wirl the American people support party
who have been guilty Of such rank offences
Dare they trust them with their lives, their
liberties, and their property, the Union, and
the constitution of their country?
The Union says of the I" Heating case:"
each succeeding week develops some new
and more impudent frauds in the infamous
appeal put forth by the Black Republicans in
the case Of Thomas Heating. The appeal
purported to be signed by number of Irish
naturaliSed citizens residing in the city Ct
Washington. A number of the persons whose
names have been thus used have, over their
own signatures pronounced the act fraud
and forgery. In the list appear the names
David O'Connell, Dennis o Connell, and Jer-
emiah O'Connell-lntended beyond all doubt
to represent three brothers residing in this
city, whose Christian names are correctly
given, but whose surname is Connen. These
brothers express the utmost indignation at
the mean and shutting manner in which their
names have loen indirectly forged. They
are staunch Democrats, and cannot be in
duced by the fatal issue of private quarrel
to abandon a party which has always pro-
tected them in the full enjoyment Of their
civil and religious rights"
1.-The attempt of the black republicans to
make capital out of the death Of Heating has
been eloq uently noticed by the gifted Thomas
Francis Meagher. He says:
SIT is a waste of time, however, to prolopg
the controversy. The Irish vote il sound for
Buchanan. No protane and vicious appeals
over the body Of Heating shall wickedly
avail"
Again:
g To the democratic party they remain reso.
lutely, for they are true to the constitution,
which that party strictly interprets and in all
Its provisions uncompromisingly sustains."

Immediate sub-stratum is not rock. have
carefully noted the excavations coming under
my observation and find no variety of soils
thrown up, even from depth Of twenty feet.
This fact tells that the deposite of rich red
loan is inexhaustible, agriculturally speak
ing. Until within the last four or five years
very shallow ploughing-hardIy more than
scratching the ground-was in vogue in this
Piedmont region. So, the same particles of
this naturally rich earth being drawn on by
three or four generations of husbandmen, of
course they failed in the end to honor such
drafts; not having been in any way repaid for
their advances. In farming, as in banking,
no man has a right to draw who has not placed
on posit the wherewitha al to make his cheques
good. In thus failing to take the trouble of
blowing properly their surface soil became
exhausted Of its elements Of fertility, and in
the end repaid them poorly By simply plow-
ing six, eight and ten inches deep instead of
two, three or four, as they have been doing
for six years past, they have at least doubled
the annual yield /; having turned up and thus
put in condition to give up its store of food
for vegetation, subsoil that had laid dormant
up to that time, though quite as capable of
yielding bOuntiful crops as the super stratum
on which they, their fathers ard grandfathsrs,
had been drawing for well nigh a century.
The red lands of which am writing, thus
properly ploughed, are capable of being very
severely worked, those who till them most
severely reaping the largest crops. If left
"out" four years they become set' in blue
grass sod, which though very profitable for
stock raising and fattening, renders the land
unfit for the profitable production Of wheat
until it shall have been killed out by two or
three years of subsequent close and deep cul-
ture.
For some years past insects of various kinds
have proved dire enemies of wheat growers
here. Those who have planted as early as
September, however, have invariably escaped
their ravages. Their experience is this year
universally accepted, and as consequences
