Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1860-09-29

Resolved, That slavery, in the language O
Charles Sumner, is a '6ve-Go!d barbarism,' and the
sum of all villanies', in the language Of John
Wesley.
Resolved, therefore, That all voluntary, persis-
tent shareholders, are necessarily, 'fvo-fold' bar
barians, ahd the sum total of all Williams.
Resolved, That the Shareholders as such, can
have no rights which any human being is bound
% respect; and ali their state governments, SO
called, are but organized bands of robbers and
plunderers.
Resolved, That a governmental Union and Con
federation with such barbarians, with or without
Constitutional compromises aud guarantees to pro-
tect them in their crimes and cruelties, is without
warrant in human necessity, as we'll as 10 daring
defiance of every law of nature, justice and God.
Resolved, That the late law Of Arkansas, con.
signing to interminaLle slavery the whole free col
'ored population of that State, and couGscating
their property to the use of their oppressors, am
less they forthwith fee the State loIever; and also
the bill almost equally atrocioGs, now pending in
Maryland, and soon doubtless to become a law,
are without parallel 10 the history of human de-
pravity and cruelty; whether the appeal be to the
record of legislation, ir the name of government,
or to the black and bloody deeds of common
pirates and marauders, done in defiance Of law,
Ind execr ted and punished by the common consent
of mankind. And
Resolved. Therefore, that the declaration OF
Senator Seward made in Congress last winter, tha'
'%he Sdtc least Developed ii Ills Union, is ,oiser and
better than any foreign STATE I know,' is not only
most dariugly false in fact, but is also peculiarly
adapted to foster and extend that political profit
gacy and corruption among parties and people,
which, without such an mpelling wholesale sys
TEN Of ruin and destruction as our slavery, inevi-
taLly works the overthrow of communities and
nations.
Resolved, That when such men as Senators Sew
ard and Sumner, so strongly denounce slavery and
'sluveholders, and still continue in governmental
completely with them, boldly defending aud sus
tanning the Republican party, whose presidential
Candidate is committed to every constitutional
compromise for slavery, ever claimed by Calhoun,
or conceded By Webster, and whose present plat
form nowhere condemns slavery or Shareholders,
though it virtually pronounces Capt. John Brown
one Of The grdUeSt Of criminals, when the Stewards
and Summers can do all This, and more, without
one blush of shame. they show how frightfully
slavery has wrought its deadlicst work on them,
and how unfit they are to be entrusted with the IN
terests Of Humanity and Liberty.
Resolved, That the boosted free government OF
these states, is in itself. a bloody and unmitigated
despotism; and must be no less so under a Repub.
lican administration based on the Chicago platform
aud the declarations of Abraham Lincoln, than
the Democratic administration of the present, or
the Wing or Federal party of the past-;here
must be the same respect paid 10 slavery where it
Is; f~ugitives must be returned; instructions must
BE suppressed; Nat. Turner's shot down, and John
Browns hung. But we hereby solemnly affirm
that no fugitive slave shall be returned where we
can possibly prevent it, for Abraham Lincoln or
any other President. Nor shall any sable Wash
ington, or black Garibaldi ever fail in an i~nsurrec.
tionary attempt to deliver himself and his fellow
victims from slavery. for want OF our sympathy,
or any more material aid which we can conscien-
tiously render. And for every brave Capt. Brown
who is sacrificed in noble effort for their deliver
Rnce, there shall be a monument erected out Of
grateful, throbbing hearts, that shall stand and
shine amid the generations, long after old time
shall have mown down our ~proudest revolutionary
mafbls, and from pied out the most enduring
brass.
Resolved, That in no respect has the govern
ment been materially changed from Washington
with his Fugitive Slave Law of 1893. to Willard
Fillmore and his far more atrocious enactment OF
1850 still in force; and the efficiency of which,
Abraham Lincoln has assured the country, he will
do nothing to impair.
Resolved, That as the government of the coun'
try is a most daring despotism, SO the popular pre-
vailing Religion is practically, downright atheism.
Its God lie a monster, bloody as MOloch--its Bible
IL made an apology and authority for all unutter'
able abOminations-its Priesthood, as a body, arc
the direct succession from those who cruciied the
Son of God--its lost, makes the burdens which
the old Scribes and Pharisees laid upon mems
shoulders easy and light-its worship is cold as
Jewish Ceremonies, as empty as Pagan rites, and
as devoid of humanity as the sacrifices of Jugger-
naat ; is best benefits are scarcely desirable, OF
worth possessing at any price, being neither Right
eousness, Temperance, Peace, Purity, Love moi
Liberty nor a progressive growth into q higher
divihef life; all Of which have to be sought outside
Of the Church, and attained generally, if attained
Mt all, in spite of the Church: and the only hore O.
our deliverance from slavery and all great sins
and their consequences, and the planting of a hoiie'
fath, is in the utter extirminatiOn OF such a re
liGion and worship from the whole face of tn
country, North as we'll as South.
