ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
THE PROSPECT—THE LIBERTY PARTY—
THE PROSPECT—THE LIBERTY PARTY— THE PEOPLE.
. Fbirnd Kiito! It Ik In ruin that we would su
perinduce the principle, tlmt men arc not by nnturo
conservative. It was not until a mnmnioth petition
nf three million names, of tlio fatlicro, mother, and
alsto'fs of England was Imrne to tlio Halls of Tut
Moment, asking for tlie ennotmont of West India
'emancipation, tlmt thnt conservative body could be
'prorailed npon to consnmnte tlic righteous work.
Tho groat motive-power which strive birth to this
'long-to-lie-remcmlicred measure, evidently in not to
1 attributed to tlmt body, but to the unmistakable
ridenco which stood forth in thnt great dome of
paper, when unfolded, ronehing miles in length, of
public sentiment, to triflo with tchlrh, trot no
.tunyer in ft. They saw the conscience of the people
thoroughly aroused to tlio atrocities of tho system
of slavery.
As then, It Is now, crento a public sentiment and
the work is dono. All this is to be done by tho
Anti-Slnvory host of America, and tho great work
of tho dim! it ion of Slavery in this country is ac
complished. Yes! let the abolitionists of America
present to tho Congress of this nntion a mnnimnth
petition of three million names, united in tentimeut
and determination, asking for tho abolition nf Sla
very, and our Slarery is at an end. In England,
by tho untiring vigilnnce of an humblo lnymnn,
Granville Shnrpo) hacked up by the people, with
out an alteration in the British code of laws, Sla
ery was alsilishcd, was declared illegal and
nontrory to ihe spirit of law in that country. May
not then, without tlio alteration of Cohtsitutinnnl
law, the sanio be the caso here. Taking the broad
principles of liberty declared in '70, to bo the basis
'of our civil institutions I say under tho auspices
of our Constitution, so strikingly an cnilmdyment of
the principles of hipiality so eminently and im
perntivoly setting forth, and maintaining them to
tho world that uiiWn generations could not from
its perusal gain tho idea dream that tho iron heel
of the oppressor had ever pressed our frco soil.
Whilo theso are admitted as unmistakable truths,
' liow comparatively easy accomplished is the work
for tho poopto of this country. Yet, how bitter1 is
h thought, whoa torn necessity forces it npon
tho patriotic lover of bis country and its enslaved
people, that three millions of our citizens art tlaret
that tho spirit of tho Constitution ha been de
parted from ; and, through a contemptnble duplicity
Vf northern demagogues a wilfully subservient,
and may I not sny ignorant) constituency, have
suffered theso things to be, nny worse, have suffered
its ample provisions fur liberty to bo perverted, and
mudo suliversively to answer the bloody deed. How
long, oh 1 how lung nil ill I theso things be? How
long, yet how long will tho growingly intelligent
and liberty-loving population of tho North, suffer
those principles disregarded which lie nearest and
dcurost to their hearts ; and offer a Willing obedi
eneo to Southern will and rulo. Tho press pro
claims in thunder toucs tho time is here 1
, lid I say we were " by nature conservative" ?
Hut it is by this principle, together with tho growing
Indignation to Slavory in the minds of the people
in this 'country, and through tho Increasing Intclli
j$nco of tho mass, that tho nlxdit'on of Slavery is
to bo speedily expected. If wo cast our eyos back
bat a few years, to tho Liborty Party, wo And it
almost unheeded by tho mass, who wore too busily
engaged serving as allies to southern despots. Its
grtiiVt and righteous appeal to tho people, woro
unhoard, or unheeded. Smith, Gondcll, Spooner
nnd others wcro denounced as fanatics and as
. madmen. Tho little band of nlxditionists and Froo
boilers woro hold as contemptiblo fit only for tlio
sneer and ridiculoof men. Hut tlio day has arrived
' when the truths of abolitionist aro being hoard and
appreciated, and aro becoming potont for good, and
tho destruction of pro-shivery churches and parties.
Tho Liborty party, which lind only for its depen
dence tho immutiblo principles of truth and justice,
true to thote irinr!jIet, in those duys which triod
mon's souls, is yet to bo tho party. It is tho
banner undor which the opprosscd portion of tho
. land shall hnvo given to them their God-given and
Constitutional rights.
Mr. Editors I must hero say, (and it is to bo la
. Ihonftd Unit In this section in particular, and in
. many other sections whoro men aro anxious to plant
themselves ou the most consistent and effectual
., .ground for tho abolition of Slavory,) tlio propor
induconionU could not be offered that speakers
; holding theso views cannot be obtained, or the
works of Smith, Ooodell, Spooner and others, could
,.Bot bo placed within tho reach of us hero in the
West, generally. . I say this, because upon turning
any attoution to this subject, mora ospocially the
ssncoLatitationality of Slavery, I was astonished in
(finding that instrument so clearly, forcibly, and
JUnmistukttbly in words (as I could not possibly soe
, tt otherwise an anti-slavery document, and this,
, foq,. without vor seeing but fho above named work
of Gorrit Smith. And more, I at tho time set my
self at tho task with tho expectation, from what I
, bod been told of its provisions for Slavory, to come
out, cut aud dried to ordor, a disunloiiist; as it
, doing proatacery, I could no longer harmonizo tho
.tnet of "imariny to mjtport the wijyxuietl ayreemtnt
,,uitk Hell" (!) And I was at tho timo kindly fur
nished with the compilation from "Madison's Pa
mpers" to aid mo in tho search, and to take my stand
. on the right sida. This document, tho Madison
t, papers, was gotton up by tho disunionist, to prove
'rly external Ipstory, as picked up, that tho intention
of the framorg of the Constitution was to put Sla
. voryinto it : that, although the word Slavery or
, any other word which amounts to a legal definition
'. of Slavery, m to be found in tho Constitution,
yet it was "intended" to have been inserted by the
t'ramors and adopters, that they intended that it
should support Hlavery, and hence aside from the
written spin-it and letter of the instrument, we nre
bound, in duty, to carry nut this hellish "intention"
or disbandon the Government, yet this " Intent"
only enjoins the duty so far as holding office is con
ocmed, or as a votor under its provisions. The
The disnnionists may enjoy nil the privileges of its

But to tho subject more immediately beforo ns.
I was speaking of the claims of the l.illerty psrty
doctrine, on tho people. And here, lot me say, as
the sequel will show, the claims of the peoplo aro
fast merging to thoir adoption. The first great
advantage of the Lilierty, over the other parties for
the aliolitinn of Slavery is. that it it jilnrtd hrynnd
till; tfHlk of all enmjtmmixs With any thing lielow
it ImiTnothlng to civo up nor to undo, cnhscVitiHit-
I ly, any but thnstf who aro fully prepared for Its
Jhigh stnndnrdof principles will embark with them.
It has long since proclaimed its principles to the
world: fully aware of the slowness of it growth,
ns well as, and at the same timo, fully estimating
the grnnd ultimatum of its object, vis i thceonsen

monious whole, ns it shall ripen Into its uncompro-
mlsing principle, to wrong; and for the ultimate
consumation of A "riuhtenui eieil Gorernmrnt,"
wlren slavery, aristocracy, monopoly of wealth and

the form of enactments, a. it holds they cannot

nrot it holds that crime cannot lie sanctioned by
law or enactments, it holds thnt Slavory is incn-
pablo of legalisation that low is only for the
protection of rights, ond should bo disregarded,

less snatch thorn from Its subjects. W lnlo it is most
truly a law-loving party.it would "rtndervnto Cmsar
the thinyt that are Cear', and nnlo God the thimji
thai art G'od't." It would render unto Government
the things which belong to Government. It would
uttorly disown tho well nigh universally received
opinion, which is as folouious and superstitious) As
perhaps It is pernicious, namely) that wo may dis
obey a wicked requirement if coming from a single
individual, but muni obey it, if it comes from the
Government,- thnt we may, for instance, harbor
and protoct whom a privato individual would have
us enslave; butniustshutliiinoutof sympathy nnd
enslavo him, if Government so commands. The
Lilierty party holds that tho Constitution of the
United States is an anti-tlnrery document, nnd if
any one may consider that there are portions of it
that appear to militate, they are of justice and by-
well kuown principles of law, null and void of
effect, that tlio U. S. Constitution was mado to
securo tho blessings of liberty to tlio People, with
out distinction. It denios the power of Congress,
(ho Supreme Court; or any other Iwdy of men, the
H.wor to prohibit ihfl humblest block servant within
tho limits of tho Republic, the right of private
judgment in matters of conscience
The Liberty party would give to tho black as woll us
white to tho female as well as tho malo portion of
community, equal privileges and citizenship; and
is tho Constitution secures in tho broadest nnd
plainest terms, in its opiniolr, thoso guaranties, it
would restore to that instrument tho rich blessings
of liberty to provido which it embodies in the name
of the Revolutionary Futheru. Aro tbVsc measures
which should endear the party to tho support of
the American peoplo? Wo think so. And its
rapid numerical strength in tlio lust year is proof
Unit tho Peoplo arc endorsing them with a good
will und earnestness. Ono ycur ago, when it was
announced that Frederick Douglass was to bo at
the Anniversary, in Salem, and tliiVt he held that
the Constitution was an Auti-Slavory document,
how ougcr wcro all to hear what that champion
would hnvo to say on this subject, so now and no
less strange to them. Yet who of us at thnt timo,
in th) midst of tho campaign for tho Presidency,
that then ensued with its conservative policy, could
for a uioment have harWed tho idea that Horace
Greeley, and I. N. White, of thd Giuettc, would
havo endorsed tho Anti-Slavery interpretation of tho
Constitution; and with such penctratii n aud sear
ching arguments havo dulinod its language.
For I have hardly over heard a inoro searching
argument to upsot its pro-slavery character, as con1
colvod by tho mass, than that of Mr. Grcoley. Mr.
Whito of the Pittsburgh Gazette, is no loss clear
and conclusive in tho last issuo of that paper.
This is encouragement to tho reformer, for when
such men aro found on tho sido of tho oppressed
when such men nro found endorsing the Anti-Slavery
interpretation of tho Constitution, by tho sido
of Ooodell, Spooner and Smith when Buch aro
tho signs of tho times coming, that tho mam pillars
of the parties ore fleeing from its decaying clcmonts
to tuko shelter under tho substumul roof of tho
Liberty party, our wurk is accomplished for tlio
speedy overthrow of slavery, under tlio auspicious
roof of tho Constitution.
During tho strugglo for liberty in England, one
of the ltoyal Dukes, in the IIouso of Lords, do-
nouncod Wilberforce as a disorganize as sevorcly
as did ever hotspurs of tho South dunounco Garri
son, Smith, or Giddings. But tho ltoyul Duke
lived to succood to the throne, and as William IV.,
signed tho act of abolition when it passed tho
British Parliament.
When men can hove 'publia opinion on the ono
hand, answering to justico on the other, it is no
difficult inattor to obtain their aid or sorvico, in the
enactment of righteous measures.
But it occurs to my mind, how frequently am I
assailed with tho only alternative loft in tho plan
of an argument: " But the doctrino hold by Gerrit
Smith and tho Liberty party, is as completely dis
union doctrino in its character and effect as that
of Garrisonianihiii." I can only say at this timo,
be it so. I do not euro to disputo it. But if so
if tho Union is divided, tho slaveholder must mako
tho brake, not wo. The slaveholder must loavo ut,
not ice litem. Which of thoso precepts most nearly
correspond to the precepts of Christianity, consis
tency and justico, I will leave the reader to judge.
I cannot entertain for a moment, the idea that
any ltcformcr holding his principles dear, con
compromise them. Though I am plcuucd as mubt
i

j tho sake of present expediency,

GARRISON'S RESPONSE TO MAZZINI.
Oh, mny God speedily vouchsafe a Jubiloo t
those who nre groaning in captivity on our own
free .oil! Where do we stund beforo the nations
of tho earth? What is our charaetor what is our
influence? Wo nro courting and complimenting
the autocrat of liussia 1 Yes, the organ of the
present national administration, at Washington, is
saying to tho world, that America ought to strike
hands with I icholas or Kiissia, liccam-o lie docs
not moddlo w ith American Slavery tho institution
is not offensive in his eves, and we ought to join
hands with him, that Slavery may be neriietuuted
on our soil, and that all Kurupc and the world may
likewise lie kept in chains!
Our cause, thru, is as broad as tho w hole earth ;
and in striking a blow against American Slavery
we strike a blow for tho world. The other dny, an
esteemed friend of mino a distinguished friend of
our cause, too, from Kugland, put into my hand
a letter Irom iuuzsiiiii tlio lender ot tho Italian
patriots in their strugglo to bo free. (Grcut up
plauso.) Mr. 0. read tho lettor, which wo havo already
publishod, and continued:
only wish that the noblo Muzzini was by our
side, that I might say a word or two to him, ill re-1
lily to Ins excellent letter. I ngreo with him most ,
in saying that tho prmoiplo of liberty is I
ono tho world over; that this is not a strugglo fori
black men merely, nor for Americans, nor for nnyt10
particular race, but it is n strugglo for mankind
that whoever is a truo Abolitionist, hates Slavery
and oppression in overy form throughout tho world;
and that in any part of tho world ho would find a
way to boar his testimony against tho oppression
tlmt existed thero.
But then, I say, it is Slavory in our country
which mukes republicanism a by-word and n prov
erb among the nations of tho old world. We have
no power of example. The Abolitionists may tes
tify against Austrian despotism nnd tha aristocracy
of Nicholas, and sympathise with prostrate lluii-
(;ary and Italy what then? The taunt will conio
ack to us as a nation, " You aro a pooplo who
make merchandise of every sixth person on your
soil; whoroas, on the soil of Kurnpe, chattel Slav
ery is not toleratod." By an edict of tha Austrian
government, the momont any slave plants his foot
on tho deck of an Austrian ship, or on the Austrian
soil, that moment the Austrian flag protects him as
a man (applause). We, therefore, cannot testify
oiroinst oppression to any purpose, while we havo
this groat ovor-shudowing system ot Slavery, wiucn
mukos all the oppressions of the earth
th insigninuaiii
in comparison. "Twentv-four millions of emanci
pated Italians would l twenty-four millions of
Abolitionists." Would to God it might Is) so!
Would to God that Italy might bo this momont
free! But, alas I when men have hecomo froe
shemsulves, it has not been usual for them to be
very considerate of the rights of others who are
not frco. Our fathers wanted to bo froe, and they
roso up against tho mother country, and mado
themselves 'independent. But it did not make
them lovo liborty on principle; for they were slave
holders at that time, and their descendants aro
slaveholders yet. By tho Abolition of Slavery,
tthcroforo, we tuko out of tho way tho grout stumbling-block
in tho causo of freedom for mankind ;
and 1 toll Muzzini ho has tho hearts of all Aboli
tionists (applause). But it is a cheap thing in our
country to say uuvthiiig against Austrian or Hus
sion despotism. When nny of our demagogues'
wish to carry a point, und especially to cover up
our infernal system of Slavery, they make a fling
at tno oppression ot r.ngland, ot trance, ot Aits-
tria, or of Russia. It is all "dog-cheap." We, in

'UNCLE TOM' ON THE STAGE.
I went on Saturday cvoning to seo the play

thereto by the description of tho Timet, which ap
peared in a Into Slumlord. That description does
no more than justice to the play. It is bettor by
one hundred per emit, than the version of the Bos
ton .Museum. June shrewdest alsilitioiiist amongst
us had prepared the drama with a view to make the
strongst anti-shtvrry impression) ho could scarcely
hove dono tho work hotter. 0; it was a siirht worth
seeing, those rugged, contloss men nnd hoys in the1
pit (too very material ot w Inch niohs aro made)
cheering the strongest nnd tho siihlimost anti-sla
very sentiments! i ho whole audience wasat times
melted tn tears, and I own that I was no exception
It was noticeable that tho peoplo, after witnessing
the death of Uncle Tom, wont out of tho house as
gravely and seriously as peoplo retire from a reli
gious meeting! 1 wish every alsilitioiiist in the land
could see this play ns 1 saw it, and exult as I did
that, when huughty phtlrisccs will not testify a-
gaiust slavery, the very stones aro crying out!

Was voted an abolitionists, and tho community de
termined to get rid of him. So a crowd collected,
und politely escorted Mr. Jeffreys to the depot, for
transHirUition to tho inoro congenial North.
Ho indicated a preference to remain, but on the
arrival of tho upward train, ho wns plaood on lsiard
and found himself en route for Weldon, amid tho

well but you can t stay hero. Hood-ovo! Oood
by!' Ami awny ho went, baggage and all, as fast
as steam cuuiu curry nun, to n ciuon.
Arriving thoro, this victim of frco opinion has
tened to alight nnd was warmly greeted by a num
ber of equally kind friends, w ho conducted him, con
trary to his, w ishes to the Petersburg train.and safely
landing him in the cars, waved their adieus, as the
traveller, in spito of himself, shot past tho village
in hot hosto for tho Cockado city. I
"(lood-byc, Jeffreys! Farewell, old fellow!' 'A
pleasant trip to you,' shouted tlio crowd, and that
was the last of tho abolitionist these parts.
Whether they past him on in like manner at Pe
