Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-09-19
From the Pittsburg Gazette
ALGERINE SLAVERY,

MeSsrs. Editors have Just been reading the
life of GENERAL WILLIAM EATON. lie was for SOW
eral years American Consul at Tunis During
this period the Barbary States enslaved all the
christians" that tell into their Lands The Ameri-
can Council made himself perfectly familiar with
the wants and woes of those who suffered under
Mahomedan servitude.
1t may be interesting to your readers to know
how this servtude appeared to one who had been
very familiar with Slavery in Georgia-You know
that many OF oar Pennsylvania apologists for the
severity Of Southern servitude often asserts that
the agitation Of the Slavery question in the Free
States is the cause of the stringent laws now on
the statute books and Of much of the severity now
praciieed in the Slaveholding States. That these
ptions are baseless is obvious from the date
of many of the enactments, and from facts prior
to the existence Of any political anti-slavery ex-
citsment
Gen. William Eaton was a captain in the United
States army, and was for some time on service in
Georgia. lie there had Slavery under his eye as
it existed during the first ten or fifteen years Of
this republic. Subsequently he was sent TO the
Barbary States to look after the interests of slaves
of another color. lie found them of every class
Slavery in Africa as well as in America. The AZ.
rcans had carried the war into Carthage, and a
Jealous American patriot had the privilege of look
ing first on this picture and then on that.
Hear him: Life Of Gen, Wpa Edton, page l54,
Broohfeld EdSS, Ed 1913. After giving an ac.
count Of $50 Sandman Slaves, he says "Many of
them have died of grief and others linger out n
life less tOlerable than death Alas, remorse seiz

cteat want lie is now engaged in getting up a
line of steamships, half duzen orso OF the size
Of the Great Eastern, to run between Norfolk ano
Milford Haven. both which belong to that class or
ports that might contain navies OF the whole
world" but which seldom get within their waters
more than half dozen schooners. Mr.. Mann mas
raised So 900 in subscriptions, principally OF SloO
each. and indefinite amout in "the smiles OF
the ladies'" as he explained i'll his speech IN the
Convention. This leaves only Sll,9 1000 to be
subscribed and as us that trihing amonnt
is reached the ships will be put under contract IN
some Of the chief ship building ports OF the South
and the engines and machinery will be made IN the
Southern workshops. for this is to be southern
enterprise entirely The ships VIII always take the
Southern route across the Atlantic and no North
ern passengers or freight WILL any pretence, be
received This reasonable and practicable scheme
being thus far on the way, the enterprlsing pro-
iector should next turn his attention to the forma-
tion of an exclusively Southern line OF teachers
and ministers We have often thought that the
preparation of complete system of Moral SCI
eHce SoHtb," might be entrusted to that eminent
man of God, the Rev. DR.. Ross. There are good
many texts of scripture, especially IN the New
Testament, that need explanation, and no man
could explain them 50 as to bring them within the
true doctrines Of slavery better than be.
Those passages about doing as you would be
done by, loving your neighbor as yourself. rray-
ing for your enemies, aro.probably interpretations
or mistranslations; at any rate, they are mere
gliterng goneralites and do not apply to niggers.
Indeed the whole of the New Testament is some>
what radical and since the attention Of our South
ern brethren has been directed 20 the Importance
Of maintaining the laws, it is regarded as an evil
dent innovation upon the good old system that had
come down from the prophets and the patrarchs,
Sound conservative men in the South will prefer
to fall back upon the elder revelation and there
passages in it, especially in the divine COM
mand to the Israeites to enslave the heather, and
in the lives of David and Solomon that are full Of
beautiful instruction such you will find no where
in the gospels. We understand that DR.. Ross, is
about to write defence of the Supreme Court of
Judea which has for near two thousand years been
assai!ed by Black Republicans and ether fanatics,
and that he will show that the opinion of Chief
Justice PLATE was in strict accordance with the
Roman Constitution and the jewish law and that
the objections to it only be sustained by refer
ence to "higher law" which is of course, fatal
to all order and society. When this is done,
shall have text book that can safely be put into
the hands of the young men of the South; and
till then, it will be quite well to omit the study
of moral philosophy in the Southern colleges.
