Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-11-21

q good anti. slayery Church his was and that all
the children were taught Arti-Slavsry every Sun
day in the Sabbath school. Still the Methodist
Church could not DO had for our meetings.
The only hopeless obstacle in the way Of the
progress of anti-slavery to day, is, that ere,y body
is already good dntiSldrcry." | am just as good
anti.slavery as you are, meets us on every hand.
Thursday evening l joined Brown at Loo port
village. stopped at the house of the "Liberator
man" Mr.. Benedict. When travelling in my own
state, l always feel that l have found a home"
when / enter the house Of a Liberator subscriber.
And what is true of New York is equally SO in
Pennsylvania and Ohio so far as my experience
goes.
Al gainesville in the home Of the McGrews, we
had n cordial welcome. Our Convention was held
in the Court House-was not largely attended.
The audiences were composed mostly Of people
who had been converted years ago, under the
preaching of Stephen and Abby X. Foster, but
finding the sacrifices too great, have in a measure
returned to their Pro-slaveryisms, or as Brown
would say Fallen from grace" OF such, there
is little h~ope-they have deliberately resolved to
smother conscience-to take the world as it is
and keep themselves in a respectable position in it
as it is. But there are a few glorious exceptions,
at least, one man who, during all these years has
kept himself "pure and unspotted" from the
Worlds Church, aud the Worlds Political Parties.
The Widow and one Of the daughters of that
devoted friend of the slave, N. p. Rogers, resides
ct Painesyille-and gave odd fashioned anti.
slavery" as Mr.. French termed it, a cordial well
come-It was an inexpressible pleasure to me, to
have this opportunity of seeing these relations of
the departed Rogers in their own home.
From gainesville / went to Mentor, had a large
meeting in the Disciples Church, the Rev. Mr..
Clapp, came to the rescue Of RepublieaniSm doubt
less, he thought he saved it. While | quite as
confidently believed he but added to its guilt,
l enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Clapp-and
Rev. DR.. Belding, the Disciple Pastor, made every
necessary arrangement for the meeting, and my
comfort and convenience.
Mr.. Powell went to Willoughby-but found no
notice given for q meeting. Mr.. Brown at Kirt-
land, had = NAL audience, and Tuesday we all
met at the Bennett House in Cleveland. and such a
disappointed company as we found there, and as
continued coming there throughout that day, |
never before saw.

up to Cleveland to the NORTHERN CONVENTION"
and found it wasn't there.
But one word of that Bennett House, and / will
have done. Though Mr.. Brown was permitted
the rights and privileges of other guests. though
Messrs, Remond and Watkins, were also treated
as men, it was not from any regard for their man
hood, but merely that the Clerk, acting for the
Proprietor, did not wish to part with those in
their company, or rather their doHarS~ l have no
belief that any reform was wrought in the heart
of that house, or that a colored man would o.day,
be treated any more respectfully, were he to at.
tempt to take a seat at their table, than was Mr..
Brown that Tuesday noon. And allow me to sug-
gsst, that the Bugle shall knoU that colored people
are courteously treated, and granted precisely equal
and identical rights and privileges, in that house,
before it farther recommends it to the patronage of
nbolitionists.
sl.s. s, Yours for Freedom and Equality.
