No MORE SLAVE RENpIrloN.-Who that has n
spark of manhood or humanity, tat must des rise
and loathe every step in the work Of returning to
slavery the noble men aud women who have had
the courage and wisdom to escape from that horri,
ble condition. Every State is guilty before God
and dishonored before the nations of the earth,
which either aids in, or permits such outrage to be
perpetratcd on its soil. Let every honest man aud
woman then JON to save the whole non slave work
ing States from this infamy.
The Western Anti. Slavery Society at its last
Anniversary, expressed its convictions and pur'
poses on this subject in the following explicit
form:
Resolved, THAT the Executive Commitle If this
Society be instructed to prepare a petition, for gen
eral circulation through the State, calling upon
the Legislature of Ohio to decree that it shall be
unlawful ard felonious to claim any human being
as a slave, or Us one held to service or labor in
any slave State, before any tribunal, State or Ma.
iional, on the soil Of Ohio and that the friends OF
freedom here be urged to join with those of Mas
sachusetts, Vermont, PcnneylvGnia and other
''Ni ~ NhSN''R NHO ulNVi IiOuloltIOh u hli
slave hunting, and all slave trials, in any part OF
the NORTH" 1.
Who that has any regard for freedom but re.
spends approvingly to this proposition, mud who
that approves it but will lay a hand to this work
and help to make the whole North really free soil.
Those who are thus disposed will forward the
Object by signing and circulating the following pc.
tition
To the Senate and House Of Representatives. Of The
Commonwealth Il:
The undersigned, citizens f., respectfully
ask you to enact that no person, who has Acen
held as u slave, shall be delivered up, by any off
Ger or court. State or Federal, within this Common.
wealth, to any one claiming him on the ground
that he owes service or labor to such claimant
by the laws Of any one Of the slave States Of thi,
Union.
This work of pctitioning is going bravcly on il
New England. The following letter from a Yer
mont Republican to the Liberator, shows that ,ht
Green Mountain Boys" are astir.
S. MAY, JR. DEAR SlR-"I have been to Mont
pelier but once since the commencement Of thu
Legislature, and then ! carried 10 $50 signature,
to the petition for making it illegal to return a Flu
gitiye Slave from Vermont. | now have more
which | shall send soon. 1t now really looks al
though something would be done. Vermont il
thoroughly aroused. Petitions are pouring int,
the Capitol daily, and the leading men are begin
ming to think the people are in earnest about thC
matter. | think we may safely say, the worlc
moves AS a Republican, / rejoice over the re
cent elections. although the success Of Douglas il
much to be regretted" j. H., Jr.
The last Anti,Slavory Standard says on this sub
ject:
THE Legislature which will assemble in ALBANY
on the first of January will contain a large MAORI
ty Of Republicans in both branches, and we hope
that earnest AbCliti0nists in every County will put
its anti-slavery character tc the test by sending il
petitions, as numerously signed as possible, pray
ing for the enactment of a law prohibiting slave
hunting, under the sevcrest penalties. on the sol
of the Empire State. The Abolitiouists of Massa
chusetts are making a strong movement for sucl
a law in that State, and the Legislature of Yer
mont, now In session, has been piled with petitions
infuentially signed, and now has the subject unde,
consideration. The number of Garrisonian Aholi
t'onists in this State is not large, but if they vii
all take hold Of the work in earnest, they can pro
duce a wholesome agitation and gain a large mum
Der of signatures to their petitions. In some 10
calitics the work is already begun, but We feal
that in many others, where we have one or NOR,
readers, nothing has yet been attempted. We en-
treat every friend Of the cause in this State, who
may read what we now write, to make a copy o
the following petition, and at once omnence thu
work of obtaining signatureg. Let us 20 ny to thu
Republican Legislature with our demands that th,
soil Of the State shall be protected from the incur
siOns of the man.hunter, and if they refuse to en-.
net a law for that purpose. let us hold them respon,
sible as the abettors of kidnappipg."
Printed forms of the petition can be had at the
Bugle Office. Send for them by mail if no other
opportunity offers for procuring them or what is
just as well, copy the form. 1t is short.
