Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1859-09-17

tween the two.-Take Senator Seward-he is con-
sidered nearest TO being an anti-slavery man of
any one of the Republican party. A few months
ago he made q speech at Rochester N. Y. The
Democratic press took II up and denounced IL as
treason from one end Of the country to the other;
and they really made the Republicans believe
there was something reasonable about It. They
did not dare 20 print II for q long time not till
had told the people time after time that it
was not trcasonable-then, after they had par
TALLY quieted the public mind and prep ared it
for believing that the speech was not reasonable.
did they dare give IL publicity. That speech
said much against slavery.extension. But
what did Seward say which was considered
so very reasonable Why just this: in speaking
of the abolition Of slavery he says still, we mus,
leave it with the states where it constitutionally
belongs; only acting Nth them when they shall
take the initiative for its 6ual overthrow.
l do not know the private opinions of Ben
net of the N. Y. Herald nor Of the leaders Of the
Democratic party of Ohio. 1 have. been keeping
better company, and cannot therefore say how
deep is their devotion to the Union nor their adher-
ence to slavery. But l will assert that when the
south take measures for the overthrow of Slavery.
they will be able to buy up the press of Bennett
and Of all the northern Democrats who are Bow
defending the South and Southern institutions.
The pred udices in favor of Slavery are not so
great that they cannot get rid Of them, when the
South shall make q move in the matter. Now
what is the great difference between those parties
after all
What do you Republicans say in reference to the
matter ! agree with you in Gil you say about
the Democratic party.-I say amer to every word

possible for you to make. and l will acknowledge

lican partyf Some ono asks with appropriateness,
"What mighty difference can there be 'twixt Twee-
.dledum and Tweedlejee When this party was
small, its actions were comparatively good. The
fewer you were in number the greater you we're in
moral power. The weaker you were in numerical
strength, the more powerful you were in influence
for good. The baby ever rules the whole house.
The father and mother, the older brothers and
sisters all come and 60 at its call and the voice Of
the baby is the law of the house. Your baby party
was not depraved. 1t was harmlesss and inofen-
sive. But as you increased in numbers, you abated
in influence. A Washington correspondent, in a
late letter to the Tribune says that he learns from
a conversation of Stephen A. Douglas. that his po-
si;ions on the slavery question are such that could
he only convince the North of his sincerity, he
lDouglas) would be a suitable man for the Repub-
lican party to nominate as their standard bearer
during the next Presidential campaign. Convince
the north of his sincerity and the Tribune might
abandon the B.s and take up The DIS. l will vouch
for his sincerity if another can for that Of one of
their own proposed candidates. Bolts says,
Whoever connects hs name with abolitionism is
either a knave or q fool, and more likely BOTH
This is his bid for the Presidency. They are
preparing him for tho Republican party to swallow
among others. The Tribune is shining him over
Boa-constrictor-like, to have them swallow him
down. If your party is really an anti-slavery
party; why do not your leading Republicans come
into this meeting, with your editors Of papers and
aid US in creating an an,i-slavery public sentiment.
They make ten speeches to our one-they have
presses and speakers and can reach tho ears of the
people. Once in q while one gets up and say
many things he had better not %say-tb!ngs tina
his party will not thank him for saying. They
know very well that our positions cannot be coz
troverted. They wish the South to believe jus
what we say of them. Why it was urged, in tn,
last campaign, that Slavery would be more secury
under Fremont than under Buchanan Well now
what are we to do? We want slavery aboiishe,
for Virginia and for Kentucky and Tennessee, a

another suit has been instituted against the ODER

dollars if the prosecutors are likely to succeed il
this suit. Under such circumstances. poverty is
