Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1859-02-19

AN ISoIDENr.-one day last week, a company
Of ladies, gentlemen and children went into a Da,I
guerrian Artists rooms in Alliance, designing to
get q number of pictures taken. Whilst the lady
artist was busy with the rich job in hand and in
prospect, two gentlemen of rather radical anti'sla.
very views, were quietly comparing notes on their
favorite topic, which seemed greatly to disturb the
e%quanimity of the artist. This nervous i~rati5ility
was manifested by frequent bobings out of the
head, for observation, from the sanctum where the
secrets of the art are p~racticed, and in divers dem
constructions which the children around her under,
stood though the cause was doubtless a MYSTERY to
them. But eventually the abolitionism Of the fa'
%naticial gentlemen became intolerable, and the lady
artist disappeared for a moment. but presently re.
turned with her leige lord, who, We believe, has
the honor of being the Mayor of the city of ALI
ance. Immediately on his appearance he sur.
prised the social gentlemen by announcing to them
the alternative that they must either cease their
conversation on that subject or vacate the 2remis-
60. As the offenders could not think of sacrificing
free speech, they quietly withdrew after they had
sufficiently recovered from the shock of this unex-
pected announcement. Presently it was ascer,
tanned to the CONSERVATION of the artist, as well as
the mother of the children whose pictures were
being taken, that the father and husband, who car
ried the purse to pay for the pictures, had been
elected from the premises. The wife choosing to
follow the fortunes of her husband, withdrew with
her company Of friends, who had contemplated
sitting for pictures" and quietly declined to take
the two piotures Of her children already taken, at
she was without money and thought it question:
BILE whether her husband would be disposed to pay
for them after the indignity to which he had beer
subjected.
1t is most probable that next time, the worth
Mayor Of Alliance will cultivate his patience anc
tolerate o slight investigation before issuing ant
enforcing SO summary a writ of ejectment, agains
his wife's customers. Though it can hardly b.
expected that after an event that resulted so disas
astrously to the finances of the firm, that they viii
be at heart, at all more favorable to free discussion
than heretofore. -

A FIRE IN HIS N

Our friend, John Frost, the quondam editor OF
the aurora. seems hardly to know what to do With
himself, now that he has no means of his own oil
communication with the public. The love of free
dom, and indignation against wrong and outrage
burn like q fire shut up in his bones, so that even
the spirit Of the departed aurora cannot rest, but
sends up it's voice "from the Spirit Land, rid j.
Frost, Medium. To give all the world the benefit
of this spiritual communication, our friend Frost
has issued a little tract, Ok inches in size, from
which we copy the following. II seems to us more
practical and instructive in regard to terrestrial
matters, than many of the spiritual communica
tions we have beard.
FROM THE SPIRIT LAND.
VIA ]. FROST, MEDIUM.
1t is now more than two years since THE AURoRl
of this place ceased to live; but somehow or othei
whether stiff orthodoxy disbelieves in modern spir
itualism or not, the spirit of the before named pa
rer seems yet TO mingle among men. Having beer
placed in rapport with this spirit, and under favor
able conditions, with the usual manipulations on
properly prepared stand, a medium distinct.
raped out the following spellings and readings
If there is anybody that remembers the manner o
speech of the defunct paper, l think they will per
ceive at least q seeming similitude of expression
to that used by il for some twenty-five years IL
what appears below. What the future may devel
ope l know not, but if these ~rappings are accept
able among the sons of men perhaps the medium
NAV be induced to rap out a few more pages in fu
ture, provided the agency of the same spirit cal
be induced to come from the specter land. Their
is q glorious opening for its operations.

tnturity' They mark a new feeling of morailtni.
y among the nations, stronger than the faulty di.
plomacy Of former times has permitted meh to
cherish, 10 that principle OF freedom, the faithful
application Of which Is the only guarantee Of the
common safety"
She happily presents the true relation of the Anti
Slavery Society to the cause in the following para.
graph:
'These combinations, Of this and former
years. have SO awakened the best feelings Of our
beloved native land that We trust this year may be
the last in which their subscriptions shall exceed
those Of America in amount and wisdom Of direc-
ton. Neither the American nor the European
friends Of our NATIONAL ANrr.S LAvERt SocfErr,
taken conformity, constitute even an approximation
towards the whole number of those who desire the
triumph Of the cause but, up to this time, we and
they do represent the whole number Of those that
love it so wisely as to know what every foe of lib
erty could teach them-that, whether they agree
in every detail with it or not, THE AMERICAN ANTI
SLAVERY Society is to the country what the edge is
to the nstrument-the vanguard to the army-tbe
balance wheel to the movement; and should be
strengthened and defended accordingly"
The Report concludes
1--WE unite in the wish of a valued American
friend, that I'VE all may do better next year,; SO
pact, too criminal and too dangerous for one mo.
ment's allegiance, the present supreme hour of q
nations deadliest peril and brightest hope may no,
pass without awakening intellect and heart enough
within il to ABOLISH SLAVERY.

THE RESPONSIBLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hack

sibility of slaveholding upon all the supporters of
the government in the following concise Introduce,
ton to a group of articles specifying some of the
diabolical practices of The system.
1--WE copy the following articles from other pa,
pers, that the people of the North who support our
government by vote aud otherwise, may see the
monstrous system of iniquity they are upbold;ng.
No matter what political party they belong to. If
they are aiders and supporters of our unhoiy gov.
eminent, only by voting, they are guilty of the
injustice of robbing men Of their liberty for
every party tina. has ever been in power in this
nation have grasped the national arms
an6 I solemnly sworn to defend and protect
the institution that Jokes man to brute, and
makes merchandise and cattle of human bings
of both sexes and agesl Yes every voter is an
alder and abetter in this iniquity, and a true christ
tan cannot sustain our national government any
more than Christ could aid Belial in i%niquity.

THE NORTHERN INDEPENDENT.-We rejoice 10
learn that this valuable paper is still increasing
its circulation. 1t shows no sign of faltering in
it's earnest anti'slavery course. We cannot ap.
prove its policy of continued union with q slave.
holding church, but we admit its fidelity of expo
sure remonstrance and rebuke of the %iniquity Of
slave holding in the church and out of it. Now
and then one of its correspondents. shows himself
more prejudiced, than intelligent or candid in the
treatment Of Disunion Abolitionists. But our
Charity (love) for its hearty anti slavery. hopeth
and endureth all this, patiently waiting for it's
clearer vision, and rejoicing in all the good it Is
meanwhile accomplishing.
The paper ought to be in every neighborhooa
where there are Methodists. If there are no men,
bers of that church, sufficiently Anti, Slavery to
take it, SOM of the abolitionists should send
for it and circulate it gratuitously among their
more candid and right.feeling Methodist neighbors,
1t is a Missionary work which the church needs
at the hands of those she stigmatises as 'in6dels,"
for their adhesion to the principles Of Humanity
and justice. lad
