Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-08-22
AS WE EXPECTED.

Since the preceding article was written the un.
derground telegraph informs us that Br, Long was
attacked by several members of the Philadelphia
Meeting on the Sd inst, for writing his
Pictures !" and that among his honorable assail-
ants, was REV. JouN p. DURBiN,D D. d.. Correspond
ing Secretary of tho Missionary Society of the
NJ. Il. Church. OF course, the doctor is wholly
devoted to his Secretaryship in New York, and this
friendly passage with Br. Long. is only one of the
Doctors financial plans for paying off the debt oil
the Missionary Society.
The same "wires" inform us that Br. Long has
been notified of arrest, at the next session Of his
Conference, upon the following
BILL OF CHARGES.

And so of all the rest, there is not a specification
