Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1860-06-30

HOw THE PARTIES RArEoN ANOTHER.

The old story Of precedence, which indeed from
the time Of Cain and Abel, downward, has wrought
such illusions Of blood and bile, among men,
women, and animals; lying at the bottom of oil
ornaments and battle-6elds, whether Of Waterloo,
Prize Rings, Curtain Lectures, or C~ock-Fights, is
again revised, with additions aud is,
dency. The Dogs Of Grand Cairo, the meanest
TERROR and whipt Spaniel, the selfconstituted pa
troll Of the city, will not eat at the same stall, until
it is first ascertained by clear fight, who lie master
Of whom, and a proper districting, or drawing
room etiquette is established.
By every conceivable adjustment Of checking
and balancing between Northern s%ervility, and
South-sido We've, the two great political parties
have entered the ring for a presidential campaign.
They both take to arguing Of their merits, as par
ties Of the Union. The one expatiates of pre-emi.
nence in support of slavery, and the other in ab.
horrenco OF Abolitionists. The one walks over
all Law and all Gospel, like the moon among the
starsl The other by It's own confession, is a vas
sal and a servant. The result may be %foreseen;
r~ejo:nGer follows reply, and statement brings out
assertion; flint sparks have fallen among dry cot
ton, from which smoke bursts out into conhagra-
ton. Democracy builds q gallows, and in clear
flaming anger dispatches treason thereon, and
Ropublicanism thanks God, that Felons are hung.
The one asserts that it is not only true to Slavery,
but true 10 Liberty, therefore the worthiest of She
two. 0utdope and exaspe.ated, the other over
takes its rival at the entrance way of Power with
peremptOry order to stop, Before Kings wife,
shall vassals mover CO.

we hear from the Southern press against Mr..
Summers Speech, coming home to the business,
and bosoms of all who dare to invade the Domes-
tic Institution, and intended to make the author
rue full sore, that ever he was born.
In vain does Mr.. Seward plead for the North,
that it will know nothing, save the Union, now and
forever. In vain do Chicago Platforms refine
about the right Of each State TO order aud control
its own Domestic Institutions, as essential to the
balance of power. In vain the respectful sulki.
ness Of the President elect, when at his Grst
thought of Slavery in the District, he comedies,
whenever the stakeholder demands it, gradual
emancipation.
The argument Of Mr., Sumner 60 ably welded,
is the long repressed and burning thought of the
North, and the common sense of the Re-
publican Party, moulded into cannon balls, cut
ting deeply and keenly. Evil has produced evil,
in fatal augmentations.'
Republicanism may hold in abhorrerco oil
schemes Of Disunion.' Mr.. Sumner has revealed
the crime and grim despair, that underlies that
loyalty. The embassy to solicit treaty between
the millions of slaves in this country and the
Government, has been Professionally spurned, or
Listened to as an iceberg would listen, until their
good spokesman of the dead, drew out of Gods
Magasine,a Thauderbolt and s~srmened the hsarts
of the North, to a man. 10 = right line, ard sad
denly there is becoming attention. The eye Of
:he enemy is upon hin-tbe sheaf of Siavery's
warriors, he is gathering into his bosom; who will
ell up the gap.

story Of the slave henceforth takes q darker char
acter, his Hateful tone OF sorrow becomes more and
more audible. lie stands alone upon the earth,
The graves of his father, and his fathers father
are all that remain to him; in bis letters he sits
waiting at the threshold Of his own dark home, in
prayers and tears, Touring out the sorrow and the
love that hath no endi bent to the earth he knows
no comfort. and must weep on ioreverl who will
lift him up, and let him feel that he is a brotheri
Was there ever virtue in man! Heaven help US tc
