Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1860-12-08

Ere slavery to it's present limits. Enough Of ter
Iitory is now open to slavery, to preserve 1t two
hundred years. Twenty generations of slaves,
allowing ten years to a generation, will thus have
to live and die in bondage. This cannot be glad
tidings Of salvation. 1t is cold comfort to the
young man and woman of to day, to be told that
in two hundred years his race shall be free. Tho
Republican party propose to preserve the compro-
misses OF the constitution-bave they considered
the nature Of these compromises! 1t is one thing
to compromise our own interests for the sake Of
the Union, and quite another, to sacrifice the rights
of the black man for The benefit of the Uniln to
ourselves. Yet northern men boast of their &C
commodating spirit in this matter. All the South
ever meant by Union, is her right to crush and
hold the negro in bondage-to make use oil the
North as her body guard-her blood Homeland
to hold our territory free to plumber. The glorious
Union has been cemented with the blood and brains
Of the slave. Its formation at first was cruel, and
violent. against right. Its founders excused them
'selyes. because of the alleged necessity OF the
compaot MS a defence against foreign foes. No
tsuch reason exists now-we arc in no danger from
foreign nations, on the contrary they have much
to fear from us, from the spread Of our corrupt
morals. Abraham Lincoln was elected by two
millions of male white citizens. Count them by
souls and how many men voted for him? 1t takes
something to make a man. One must have a soul
before he can claim an immortal soul. Most men
do not vote, they are voted. Though the Repub.
licans have elected their President, they bave to
sneak of the fugitive to Victoria's dominions and
ask her to expand her orinoline to protect him
from the bloody beak and talons Of the American
Eagle.
The Republicans as men, are unwilling to hear
of tho compromises-of the return of the tu-
gitive-of the suppression of instruction for lib
erty. They accuse us of injustice when we judge
them by their party platform. They honor John
Brown, Let them como out honestly and tell the
stakeholder that he has no rights which they are
bound to respect-tell the South that if another
Nat Turner-a black Kossuth, should arise, they
will render him aid in the spirit of Lafayette and
of John Brown ; that if the stakeholder comes
her after his fugitive, they will welcome him to a
hospitable grave. Abraham Lincoln says the fu-
gitive must be returned; the Republicans say he
shall not be returued: Let them prove their faith
by their works, and we will lelieve.
Divided from Slavery we shall stand, being free
from the most dangerous element to FREQ institu-
tons. Every nation which hos planted it has
found it the viper which has poisoned its life
blood. The Anti Slavery Society has long labored
to prove this, and the voice of the ages concur in
its testimony. "But who hath believed cur re-
pcrt" We are weak in numbers, bur weighed,
with Justice in the scale, we are nightly stronger
than party, than church, than state. Who shall
take our censusf zone shall chase a thousand,
and two put ten thousand to flight" The old
Castles stood for ages, but the little ivy planted
by Gods hand overcame their strength. "The
Lord was in the still small voice."
The Resolutions were carried without o dioOOn-
sing voice.
