Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-09-26

SOONER De DISSOLVED !!
In 1910, both parties gloried in it's possession,
and bribed it 70 stay in the Union, by a gift Of ten
million dollars.
The Fugitive Slave Bill was too odious to be
supported, even by such graceless demagogues as
Benton and General Ca,s. Now, our very best
political party proposes neither its repeal, nor
even its modification.
In IS4S, the Anti.Slavcry party, go called, were
at violent issue with the Wing and Democratic
parties, on almost the whole question of slavery.
In 1867, the same party, headed by such men as
Governor Chase, arc begging the votes of both
Wings and Democrats, on the ground that they
stand, on the slavery issves, just where those old
parties stood in 1913.
Which, by the way is not strictly true. For in
1913, both Wings and Democrats, north, declared
violently against any farther crtenSion Of slarcry
But Mr.. Fremont in his letter accepting the nomi-
nation for President, declares that simply the ad-
mission Of Kansas as a Free State, will "eirdicate

In lS4S, the Anti Slavery political party Sc
lccted Martin Van Buren, as their standard bearer
with blushipgs and apologies, on account Of his
antecedents which had been anything bet such
as 10 recommend him to that nomination, it must
be confessed. But in 1856, a leader of the same
party declares in the Senate Of the United States,

would not only prefer a southern gentleman for
president, but would "cindicdte his riqht to
hold slaUes," and will hang any man a. a traitor
north or south. who darss lay hands on the Union.
And John p. Hale. who consented to be iumped
by Mr.. Fremont in the presidential nomination
declared also in the United States Senate, that "the
party did not propose to introduce any thing new
into the government" though he afterwards
argued that under Republican policy, slavery
would be even more secure than under the protec-
ton of Democracy and James Buchanan.
In 1874 Cassius NJ. Clay declared in Boston and
elsewhere, that for that one time, he must vote
for Henry Clay. And never afterwards, he added,
with most solemn emphasis twill ! vote for a slave
holder. But in 1856, the New York Tribune
boasts, as though anticipating Senator Wilson's
preference for a Southern gentleman, "pe hare rot.
cd for Stockholders. and are ready to do so again."
In 1922, Thomas Jefferson wrote, 1--WE already
