Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1858-09-18


REPUTATION OF ABoLITIoNIsA.-The work of
repudiating abolitionism in the Republican party
is going on in Ohio. In the Portage. Summit and
Stark County District, o. p. Brown, one Of the
most hearty and thorough OF Anti. Slavery politi'
clans failed in his nomination and n more conserva.
tive man succeeded. In the Lorain and Wayne
County District, Philimon Bliss has been set aside,
and somebody from Wayne unknown to Anti-Sla-
very has been honored with a nomination. In the
whole Congressional Delegation from this State 90
one surpasses Mr.. Bliss in faithful, anti.slavery
speech and action. The ruling majority of the
Republicans seem determined to place the party
under the management of those old fogy politicians
who BY their subserviency to slavery managed to
blot out the old Wing party, and who seem iocapa,
BILE of learning wisdom by experience. Their sue
cess in repudiating abolitionism seems to FIJI the
democrats with establishment as we'll as delight.
For example the Cleveland Plain Dealer Oh the
defeat of G%iddings turned prophet and uttered it's
Joyful predictions in its native ~short-boy dialect, as
follows;
"Is (Giddings). couldn't come another crisis,
for the fiat had gone forth that he with each one OF
his colleagues, Bingham, Bliss, and Mott, who op-
posed the Montgomery Critenden bill go strenuous'
lJy Huol Dc Cds
Mott has been defeated-so has Giadiugs SO
will Bliss be. If Bingham is saved, 1t is because
he has more energy, brains, and cunning, that bis
rugged issue comrades. The war upon him i.
quite hot, and to the spectator, somewhat interest
ing, and we shall look on with some degree Of in
terest at the issue. So they 60. Sherman, Stan
ton, Corwin, and the conservatives all upon the
inside track. Chase and his followers are dis
faced"
Those of the Republicans who are accustomed hon
estly to regard their party as the party of freedom
seem by these and similar developments elsewhere
to have their hope and faith somewhat shaken. A
most happy indication. The National Era scent
somewhat startled by these facts, as We judge b,
the following question which it asks after a refer
ence to them:
rs it true that the Republicanism of the fret
States has become so lukewarm-so anxious for
union with 50 called Americanism or Conservatism
that it is ready to throw overheard the lOng,trieC
enemies of Slavery? If so: the time will very
soGn come when Republieanism will find itself un
able to use the decided Anti'Slavery sentiment O
the country"
We even hear some Republicans talking of going
back and organizing another liberty party, which
shall protest and labor against slavery itself every
where. We hope they will. Such a movement
made on consistent anti slavery principles, is jus
what we want. A true liberty party which shall
have neither companionship or compromise witt
slavery, would tell upon the country. But w
don't look for it. The e tender footed Republican
are now crushed out of power and influence in tn,
party, but they will submit and help "for thi
once"-hoping that somebody besides a Democra
will be president in 1860. and that some how o
other he will do something or other, that wont b
} quite 30 bad as the villianies Of Pierce and Blu
lchanan.
