Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1860-04-07

Divine utterance was engraved, but has lowered
his own head in humble worship to the Golden
Calf; nay, Of all the worse than golden images, the
Molochs or Dagons, ever reared by the uncircum
cised idolators of Assyria or Babylon.
The disastrous, damuiug effect of that speech Of
Senator Stewards q few weeks since, on the admis-
sion Of Kansas into the Union, cannot be comput-
ed with all the arithmetic Of an archangol. No
wonder Bates is alarmed and has fastened to de-
6ne his position anew. Where are Banks, and
Botts, and Bell, (yea, and Beelzebub TOO, 'ohy not
as peI p oil candidates named ana often APPROX
ed by Horace Greedy aud the New York Tribune,
where are they, that are not also looking to their
Presidential laurels ? Or at least congratulating
their New York competitor in the Hebrew Min
sIrels song.

Who can wonder that your own sturdy Thesseus,
Frank Wade, has now espoused that eldest demon

Who can now wonder at the suddenly su5dued
tone of all those Republican presses and voices,
that before we're demanding Union if possible,
but universal Freedom at eUery cost?
The following were our Resolutions at the Ro-
chester Conventional hope you will give them
good open space in your short columns, and ex-
hort your readers to comp are them with the speech
which they are designed to rebuke, and see that
they shall not do it injustice, at least to them.
Resolved, That the government of the United
States Ia now a Consolidated Dsspotism--the
strength of which, in the North. is the Republi,
can Party-casting, at the last Presidential Elec
lion almost a million and a half of votes, and in
lending to swell the number at the approaching
contest to two mill ons-and every one Of them q
solemnly sworn oath that slavery shall! be protec-
ted and perpetuated in every state where it now,
is, or may hereafter, by the action Of the govern
nent, be extended, as long as those states shall de-
sire; and thus that party must be held fully re-
sponsitle for all the bloody b~aptisms and sacra-
ments of sweatiHg sorrow which the slaves are
enduring throughout their generations.
Resolved, That of all the Congressional Mani.
festos of the present session, the most dangerous
to tho cause of the enslaved in this nation, is the
speech of Senator Seward Of New York, on the
admission Of Kansas to the Union; and regarding
it's author, as at present, a most prominent caudi-
date for Presidential hOnors, 1t is all the more
significant as a declaration Of sentimental plat
form of Republican party aith-and n foreshad-
owing of what shall be the character Of his admin
filtration in the event of his success.
Resolved, That when in the very preamble Of
that speech he promises and hopes to allay the
national excitement and then proceeds to con-
cede everything to tho south and nothing to the
north, and least Of all, to the slaves, softening the
words SaUery and Shareholders into Capital and
Capitalists, re-afirming and re-subscribing every
constitutional compromise ever claimed byCalhoun
or endorsed by Webster, even tho compromises Of
1850, fugitive slave law and all; whose inspiring
sounds reproduced in the inaugural of the next
President, Franklin Pierce, he afirms, treasured
and delighted the land with hopes of peace from

peculiar policy of the party to be the saving Of
The U. S. Territories if possible ty constitutional
and lawful means from slavery and polygAny;'an
again that all our northern system of labor ever
works out is the equality of white menP And
father, that should the capital system meaning
slavery in the s%tatesl ever be assailed, in the
emergency, no matter what the cause or what
the prete&t, OF who the foe, we Of the free states
shall defend the southern sovereignty as the equiv
alent Of our own and then repeating the obliga-
tlon In the assuring words; we Of the north are
not the ehehies, Bdt the friends and brethren of
the south, faithful and true;' and then explains in
what sense. by declaring his party to be engaged
id no new transaction, not even a new dispute
though new slave states should be admitted to the
Union, aud that Union, throughout the speech
constantly Landed far above liberty. When all
that and much more, if not worse, is embraced in
q single speech by an aspirant for presidential
pfeferment, and he the mos: anti-slavety in his
professions, land by the claim of his party, of
the whole long and greedy list of candidates, the
hour must surely have come when a government
and Union demanding such monstrous debase-
nheut; should be dashed in pieces with all the old
or, but not more bloody t~yranhies of other times.
Resolved, That the sad and alarming departure
and degeueracy of Senator Seward from many Of
his earlier utterances on the subject OF slavery,
particularly when in the U. S. s, be ably and
nobly indicated the Higher LaW' Doctrines; as
above all human codes or constitutions; when he
bfavely declared TO the slave holders, we have
had quite enough Of COMPROMISED and when more
especially he proclaimed, in the face of the world,
the IRREFREssIBLE C~oNfLIcT' between slavery and
freedom, cannot but FIJI the hearts of all friends of
TIE enslsved with disappointment, if not with de-
spair, that one whose promise was 50 fair, has
finally fallen under The seductive influence Of sell
FISH and political ambition, to a level with the
