Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-02-14

Slavery Society delights to be the almoner Of those
who are more touched by compassion than alive to
right and justice, aud while its members know
and feel more abvut the fugitive slaves than any
other set OF persons in the land, its aim is to break
the bonds of wickedness, and not to strengthen
them by hasty, habitual submission to a wicked
law.
And how has the money to be thus worthily ap'
propriated been obtained I No question was more
asked by new corners than this where do all
these beautiful things cont from :"
We sieze the occasion to acknowledge most
gratefully, that it is not in vain we early made
"our country tho world, and our countrymen all
mankind"-for men and women OF all nations
have come to our help. We have received, in all
cases, valuable and profitable, and. in soule instan'
ccs. splendid donations from England, Scotland,
Ireland, France and Switzerland and from indi-
viduals Of almost every other country under heav.
en-. The elegance and p~rofusion with which these
gifts were poured out touched overy beholder with
admiration, and all desired to follow us in magma
nation to their foreign homes. Many times we
made the rounds of the hall to this effect with ad.
miring friends.
We have room this week only for the following
additional extract from the report. We have sew.
eral passages clipped from itfor insertion hereafter.

Joined letter
LYurNoroN, HANrs, Sept. 10, 1856.
To Mrs. Chapman, Massachusetts-My Dear
Mddam a favor which | venture to request gives
me the pleasing occasion of addressing you.
Will you kindly oblige me Sy transmitting the
enclosed letter-as early ms your convenience al
lows-to tho Senator Chas. Sumner. 1t contains
a signet ring which l offer for his acceptance as n
pledge of the interest that i, in common with nil
England, and all civilization, take in tho eloquent
defender, not Of Kansas only, but of Liberty her
self, outraged and wounded in his person.
"But Freedoms battle once begun,
Bequeathod from bleeding sire to son,
Though baf1ed oft, is allcGyS toon."
Wishing all prosperity to your noble cause, and
to yourself, and with kindred regard to Miss Wes-
ton, Mrs. Follen, and all who resemble them,
remain, my dear Madam,
Very cordially and afeotionately,
Your friend,
MARA Story.

We need not say with what high satisfaction
and sympathy the ring and communication en-
closed we're forwarded by us to their destination
Massachusetts, has since sent Mr.. Sumner back tt
the senate. If she had not "lacked gall to make
oppression bitter she could not have been so sub
dued to the shame she works in MS to send any sor
OF hers where she can neither enforce his rights noi
protect him from assassins. Mr.. Sumner will be
eager to be again, though it were to die, at the
post Of danger; but oh, to Massachusetts, what
! Recall him! with every other ambassa
dor and representative to the Slave Power-and
save the Massachusetts, of the nineteenth century
from tho contempt of all coming time!
NoTE.-All that is here said of the value Of
the Standard of its literary character is strictly
true. More might be said. Several of the ablest
and haut nu1,iyota1 r,irHo opH aboicasf taarIs of
the land, bring their regular contributions to it's
aid and make Unworthy in every point Of view. of
the widest possible circulation. Its %cotempora-
ries may freely confess this superiority without
modification of their vanity, or any implied dis
arrangement of their efforts, while, true to freedom,
they do what they can. Its prosperity is their own
success. So we believe and it always gives US the
highest pleasure to contribute in any way to that
success. But we confess to some sensitiveness
:. when it is claimed that the Standard is the Onl!
! free organ Of an association. We refer to this he
cause it has been tho anxious pur pose Of anothe
, association THE Western Anti Slavery Society
to give to one other paper AL freedom possible, be
t lieving such freedom the only method of securin,
the object they seek. We chiefly refer to Il, becaus
an effort has been made and is persevered in her,
ana IseWler 10 Glscreult ana cripple our EFFORTS
by producing the impression that ONE of the fore
most Of the eastern abolitionists are altogether diff
ferent in principles and measures from their CO
adjutors in the west. An impression which thi
statement Of the report, whether made from
conviction of the shortcomings of the Western AT
olitiOnists in their struggle to sustain a free press
S or from forgetfulness Of their humble efforts il
G that direction) will serve to confirm to our preju
dice and the triumph of those who wait for GU
e hating.
We repeat, while w have much pleasure an
r pride in pointing friends and foes to the superio
ability of the Standard, wo Also claim for the hun
' bier organ Of the Abolitionist Of the West, a p(
si,ion of honorable equality with it, in regard
the range and freedom o. its discussions with
the common sphere allotted them for labor.
