Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-05-23

Der for their consolation, thht the next Debt thlhg
20 disowning Church members for q violation Of
Christian principles, is to DO yourselves disowued
for observing them.
The following extract from the Independent is n
fair specimen of the editors view Of the relation of
anti.slavery principles to the Church. lie had
heard DR., Deems, formerly Of North Carolina,
preach in Trinity NJ. Z. Church Of New York, and
on the next day met him in tho cars, when he
says:-
'The Doctor cody informed me That he was the
owner of several slaves-that he felt no moro con
science about owning his cook, than be did his
vito. We asked him if the telation which South.
ern gentlemen sustained to their wives was that OF
master and slave Z to which he made no reply.
\ n y y y These shareholders are not
only welcomed to our pulpits in Baltimore, and
along the BORDER" but even in Philadelphia, and
Newark, and New York. Bishop PIERCE was
publicly associated with Bishops JAMES and
SIMPSON in the dedication of Broad It. Church,
Newark, N. j., and now a slaveholding Doctor OF
Divinity has been introduced into the church we
toiIed SO hard to rcar-the best M. 4. Church OF
this continent-to show the people the way TO
heaven and what is worst Of all, this same u. d
was extremely tenacious upon the subject oil

Gfcation! There you have it-a sanctihed slave
holder But that is no worse than Or. Stevens
idea of An anti.slavery slaveholding church. 1t

South Carolina Sun with terrible toreOodings.-
Hear how sloquently it gives vent to its fear.
Clouds and darkness; threatening clouds. omin-
inous darkness, gather around our political future.
A night. gloomy and terrible, sets in upon u.s.
We are drifting slowly silently, into an ocean Of
storms, furious whirlwinds, quicksand, and fearful
vhirlpools. A solemn silence prevalls-ua the
precursor of q horrible tempest. Aark! the low
mutterins ~rumbling of distant thunder breaks up-
an the stiffness. Fitful flashes reveal tho sulien
gloom. The lurid air il heavy and chill The
storn annroaches--nearer and nearer it comes,
aouder and more loud it bowls. Man the sails
all hauds to their posts. The South expects every
mar to do his duty. Life and death, honor and
liberty are involved. Let each heart be firm, each
nerve be steady. The conflict will be as herte as
hate and malice can make it. Stand firm. Hank!
what crash was that? Kansas is gone! List a
triumphant shout from the spirits OF the storm
Missouri is Welding! How fierce the blasts, now
lurid the l,phtuing! How terrible the tempest;
.ea and heaven are commingled upwis horrible,
wells terrific. tear our ears! Virginia is assaulted !
gloomy. dark, terrible bowls the tempest i
Waterman, what of the nightT All Is dark
dark no dawn appears.
The above is the note of alarm which tho ST.
Louis Election inspired. The st. Louis lntel''
rsncer takes II different view of the affair. u
deems Republicanism by no means 80 dangers as
tho South Carolinians suppose. 1t say:
ave do not participate in the forebodings oil
those papers. We do not believe that my party
that ever may get the ascendency in this Union
will be a party to war against the r'ghts VI save
holders. We do not believe that the Republican
party will ever inscribe upon its banners amy mot,
to that shall be inconsistent with the rights OF
slavery where il is. If the Republican party
should attempt to adopt principles Inconsistent
with the rights of shareholders 70 hold their slaves
IL will that instant seal its own destruction. 1t
can never succeed, in the Union, with such prlh'
ciples. >,

If. therefore. Fremont should be elected Presi'
dont in 1864 (John G. Breckenridge will !eat VIM.
Ii. Seward in lSGO), and il Frank BLAIR should be
elected President in 1868, we do not think that
. slavery in the South will he intcrfered with. VA
the contrary, it will be quite MS snte as It Is now,
and far more profitable, and the good 'old Union
will glide IN as serCnely AS II the WORD free cOil
er had never been heard i'll the land.
