Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1860-02-25

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NEW YORK
STATE ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY.

of the State Anti Slavery Society in Albany, the
capital. In tone and character, it did not differ
from those already reported in tho Bugle, except
in the addition to our speaking force, Of Mr.. Wen
dell Phillips. This name ensured us a large at
tendance and profound attention for even Alba
ny has heard Of him, and begins at length 10 ap-
p~reciate him.
Among the Resolutions adopted, were the FOL-
lowing. The vote was almost unanimous as the
discussions we're patient, thorough and searching
Resolved, That when the Governor and Legisla.
ture of New York, by a recent unanimous voice.
invited the Governors and Legislatures Of two Of
the most violent slave States to visit the Capital,
as the guests of the State, under circumstance 80
monstrous and revolving as now exist between the
two grand divisions of the country, they psrpo:ra
ted an act too sbamelessly servile to the slave
States, and too atrociously insulting to their con-
stituency and the people generally, to DO adequate
ly described, or appropriately rebuked, in any
language known to mortal tongues.
Resolved, That the Church of the slaveholding
States tsat permits and practices the breeding,
buying and selling Of Gods own image like cattle,
trampling down marriage, and the whole family
relation, forbiddipg it's own Bible and all other
books to the enslsved, lie most emphatically the
synagogue of Satan! OAnd every Church and min
lister 10 the North that does not so regard and treat
it, is false to the Christian name and trust, and
therefore unworthy Of countenanoe, fellowship or
support.
Resolved, That we have seen without astonish-
ment that Shareholders and their accomplices, in
defending the accursed slave system, are driven to
deny and ignore all the self-evident truths pertain
ing to Human Rights-that even their gifted and
ever-zealous ally, the late Rufus Choate. in their
behalf, blasphemed the Declaration of I~ndepen-
dence into a sounding TRADE of "oLIrrERINa GEN
E~RALITEs !" But when an eminent teacher " reli-
giop, like Henry Ward Beecher, for the same un-
hallowed purpose, boldly inculcates that sin also
is but another 'gli,tering generality that there is
No sin in itself; that nothing is bad, per Sc; and
nothing is good per sc and that these are only
J scholastic subtleties : and that tho great. Ameri-
can Board of Missions is a true exponent of Chris
tianity, and not only worthy Of support, but is pre-
eminently the chosen fundamentally for the
worlds salvation. Notwithstanding tina. its religion
includes slaveholding and slave.,radirg, even to
. the separation of parents and children; We are
q constrained to believe, from such revelations, tina,
the age Of wonders has not ceased-and that sla.
very has done its most fearful, fatal work on the
n Northern Pul2it-though we cannot blu. rejoice
that the ~inddelity Of Beecher is now revealed; and
u that not even his brilliant eloqnence and shining
talents can longer mislead the people, pervertine
and poisoning the public conscience AMI character
The Resolution of censure for inviting Southern
Legislatures and Governors North, to celebrat,
:" Bachsnalian Sacraments in honor of Slavery anc
Y the Union is adapted as well to Ohio, as to New
= York Your notice of those disgraceful, drunken
% orgies, at Columbus and Cincinnati, was none to,
severe. Are Republicans in O.io never to Sc,

One Resolution, you will observe, relates t.
Henry Ward Beecher. l am glad he stands a
last. revealed. God grant he may be disclose,
>. to himself! To beg and bless Sharp's rifles 70
free, white men in Kansas, with every Northern
y State to sustain him is one thing. But to love il
the same way, least of The brethren of Jesus,
in the persons Of millions of imbruted black men
or Of their bravest Deliverer, Capt. John Brown
is another religion altogether.
ed Aud / fear it is in part the sin of abolitionist.
i'd that Mr.. Beecher has fallen thus. My own opiu
n. ion has long been, that we were encouraging hin
On and many others, in a very dangerous and guilt
completely with the vilest of Slaveholdiug an,
~ Shareholders. And the public expression Of tina
opinion, has sometimes been the most trying ez
" perience of my life, and indeed. has cost me mucI
at in more ways than one. Bot time always reveal
the most hidden mystery; and will we but wal,
rights every wrong.
We shall miss our noble friend Robinson il
future meetings. No one has ever won NOR
of golden opinions, here abouts, than he. Whereve
he goes, he carries full assurance of a man. ne,
OF laborsd with more pleasure by the side of m
1T man or woman, than by his. But my letter grow
I'd too long.
