THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
David slew thousands of his fellow being",
murdered Uriah to obtain his wife, oppressed
and tormontcd his people. lived under the
influence .of the most revengeful feelings, prayed
for the destruction of thoso who AVer his ene
mies down to tho third generation, &c But
David Ira a man after Gods own heart. There
fore we may murder thousand, slay those who
stand in the way of the gratification of our lusts,
cultivate the most diabolical feelings and yet be
innocent t All ' right ' says this divine.
Solomon Mid a good many foolish things, kept
the largest Harem, revelled in licentiousness.
Yet was the special favorite of Cod. Therefore
we may soy foolish things, live with hundreds
of wives, keep twice as many concubines, and
be innocent ! So w-o might go on and show
from tho reasoning of Mr. Smith thnt there is
no crime that we may not rightfully commit.
Our attention is next called to the New Testa
ment :
Now lionr Punl. Rom. xiii. 1 C.
" Let every soul lie subject unto the higher
powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be, lire ordained of God.
Whosoever, therefore, rcsisteth the power
resisteth the ordinance of God : and they that
resist shull receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works,
but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid
of tho power ? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same :
For he is the minister of God to- thee for
good. But if tliou do that which is evil, be
afraid ; for he beurelh not the sword in vain :
for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
execute w rath upon him that dncth evil.
Wherefore ye must needs Ins subject, not
only for wrath, but also for conscience's
sake.
For, lor this cause pay ye tribute also : for
they are God's ministers, attending continu
ally upon this very thing."
Mr. Smith wishes it to be understood that
these commands by Taul are imperative, and
thc facts mentioned undeniable. This has been
made the weapon of thc priesthood in all lands.
It is made the strong-hold of despotism every
where. Thc clergy use it in England, Franco,
Italy, Russia, Germany everywhere to Btiflo
the cry of revolt, to put down every reformatory
movement. Thc tones of thc revolution were
activo in tho uso of these weapons,
ground and tempered to their will. And wo
have it reiterated again and aain among us.
We want to ask, Did God ordain all the "pow
ers" that now exist as his minister t Did God
ordain an abaoluto monarchy a limited mon-
archy a republic ? Are Nicholas of Russia,
Mcttcmich of Austria, l'opo l'iu3 of Rome,
Victoria of England, Zachary Taylor of Ameri
ca, God's Ministers? Are they Ministers for
good t And must thc fathers of the Revolution
muit the Churti.sU of Great Britain tho lie-
pcalcrs of Ireland the Republicans of Franco
the noble Kossuth and his brave compeers, all
receive DAMNATION because they reiistcd
tli " powci " i Out upon such monstrous
blasphemy.
We may bs charged with daring to assert our
reason. We plead guilty to the charge, and
call upon all to exercise their reason in thc ex
amination of the facts in tliis caso. In the in-
tcrprctation of theso sayings of Faul it is af-
firmed first, that tho " powers " are ordained of
God for good; secondly that they who resist
hall be damned j thirdly, that they arc a terror
to evil doers. Wc affirm that tho government
under which Paid lived never was a terror to
evil doers, that this government is not a terror
to tho great evil doers that few governments,
if any, from that of Nero down to this, ever
stood opposed to the wholesale tyrants and plun
derers of our race, that thc governments them
selves have been in all ages tho organized rob
bers and grinders of tho people that this gov
ernment, and Edward Smith knows it, has been
engaged in an evil of the worst and most dam
ning character from the first moment of its ex
istence. It has crushed out the lives and hopes
of millions of Indians and Africans, to say no
thing of the masses of others who have fallen
beneath its influence. Yet wo arc to believe in
thc teeth of endless facts, in tho face of tho
world's history, that the " Powers that be " aro
a terror to evil doers.
Is this government a terror to men-stealcrs
and men-traders, to the murdurcr and land
monopolists? Is it a terror to Z. Taylor, to J.
C. Calhoun, and tho one hundred and thirteen
thousand men who rob, crush and destroy three
millions of their brethren ? These very men
aro themselves among the first in tho govern
ment, so fur from being a terror to evil doers, it
gives political power in proportion to tho evil
done ; and the greater the deeds of blood and
oppression, tho greater the honor conferred. A
terror to evil doers. Aye ! How terrible the re
tribution to that hoary-hcaded murderer who
now occupies the presidential chair I
Fourthly. A praise to thcin that do well."
Nothing can bo moro untrue. Where is tho
government that gives praise to them that do
well ? Was it tho government under which
Paul lived ? No, thoy did not praise tho best
man that ever lived Jesus of Nazareth but
they put him to death ! Did thc early Christians
do well ? What praise did they obtain
Did the Apostles themselves do well f What
was their fate? How much praise has this
government given thoso who aro engaged in the
great work of well doing ?
W. L. Garrison has done well in fearlessly
declaring tho right of tho slave to his manhood.
But what praiso has ho received from " the pow
ers that be " ? What honors have been confer
red on him ? or on tho abolitionists generally
Did Torrey do well ? What did tho ' powers
for him I Did Drayton a Godly a Divine act?
What did these ministers of God do to lain ?
Did they place him in some post of honor and
trust? Did they send him to somo foreign
court as the man they delighted to honor ? His
tory answers I What of poor old Van Zandt
Did he not do well when he sheltered the house
less tho outcast ? They crushed his poor old
heart, and drank his warm blood I Passing by
thc thousands of Abolitionists, what praiso has
the government given Edward Smith for any
;
j And yet, with the Lord's sword in their hands
j for centuries, tho monster has fattened and in
pcculiarly creased fifty-fold ; and it must exist forovcr, if

good deed do ever did? Vet tl-U same man
makes poor Paul declare that thev that da well
shell receive praise. The very opposite is, and
luis been true.
"They arc continually attending upon tliis
very thing." If we know anything of what tho
powers that be arc continually attending upon,
it is upon their own aggrandizement, their own
popularity, tho destruction of their political en-
cmies in a word, ou the loaves and fishes of of-
Hoc. But still we mut obrv, and it is the dutv
of Christians to support and take office in a wick-
cd, inhuman, and devilish government !
Jesus Christ himself is made Ui sanction this
moat terrible of positions. He paid taxes no-.:
know lodged the rightfulness of wicked goeetn-
ments, &o. Of course, tho only reason Jesus
Christ did not hold office in the Roman Govern-
mcnt, was becauso he could not get it I He
would havo been content with any office from
Tetrarch down to tax-gatherer. I will not or-
guo this. We havo too good an opinion of thc
Messiah to believe him both a liar and hypo
crite. ' We believe he occupied our position exactly.
He paid taxes he submitted, because the wick
ed, unprincipled Government compelled him to
do so. Jesus of Nazcreth was the foe of tho
government, and for this cause he was put to
death. He was charged with treason, and the
" ministers of Ood, for good," commanded his
execution.
Tho next position of the Rev. brother is, that
the Comcoutcrs arc only using tho Anti-Slave-
ry cause for thc overthrow of tho Bible. And
he complains that they do not write arguments
and books in thc defence of tho Bible. Is it any
wonder, if the Biblo teaches tho doctrines held
by tho American Clergy in general, and Edward
Smith in particular ? We publish such books
as we think thc people will read, and were wo
to write such Bible defences as our assailant, we
believe tho people havo sense enough to let us
keep them for our trouble.
" Thc Bible is the sword of thc Lord God
gavo us this weapon to slay tho monster with."
Mr. Smith s view of Bible morals is correct.
But is it true that Comcoutcrs do not use the
Bible a) an instrument to destroy Slavery ? We
appeal to thc thousands who hear our lecturers,
and read our books and periodicals, if they aro
not " mighty on tho Scriptures."
But you publish no defence of the Bible no
Biblo arguments against slavery Parker Pills
bury writes against tho Biblo they all reject
the Bible from Garrison down to Pillsbury
every one of them discards thc Bible !
Such shameless profligacy is seldom equalled,
certainly never surpassed. It is true, some of
thc members of tho Anti-Slavcry Societies like
Lysandcr Spooncr, of his own party, to whom
he is indebted for tho little shadow of argument
his address contains reject thc priestly preten
sions set up for the Book. But we know of no
man who rejects tho Book of uono who do
not make a better use of it than Mr. Smith.
Tho Society is charged with being responsible
for " Pious Frauds." Has it como to tliis that
if a man is a member of Temperance, Anti-Slavcry,
or any other society, he is to be debarred
from cxprcssin3 his viows on any other qucs
tion ? And if ho does, is the society to be held
responsible? Monstrous! But Mr. Smith says
lie went into thc Depository in Ohio and pur
chased l'Ulsbury's Book. In this Mr. Smith is
as for from thc truth as in most of his other
statements. Us hace no Depository in Ohio.
Thc Am. Society has no moro profit or control
of thc Salem Bookstore where we understand
the books were bought than Mr. Smith has.
First, he would hold it responsible for the publi
cation of a book of whuhit has not the slightest
knowledge or profit, then charge the Society
with tho sin of a public Book-store for its sale !
And then he asserts, that the Disunion Agents
aro circulating this book ; while he himself
is spreading it abroad ! The keepers of the
" depository " assure us that Edward Smith
icho has bought it from them by the dozen. is tho
only man professing anti-slavery to whom they
have ever sold it, except by the single copy !
Verily, Edward, thou wcrt hard pushed ! At
tho same time we would inform Mr. Smith, that
when he wants any more of those books, if he
will en to the trouble to enquire, ho can be fur
nished also at tho Salem Book-store with as
many Biblo defences and Bible arguments
against slavery, as he pleases.
But we must bring this article, already too
long, to a close, by saying, that for a strong
man, we arc surprised at thc folly of Mr. Smith's
position. Wo hope our readers will bear in
mind this Theologian's position, That if the
government is as bad as comc-outcrs say it is,
it is right to support it. What do tho comc
outcrs say of this government ? That it is "
leaguo with death nd a covenant with hell.
Tliis you may support and bo innocent ! , B.

The fields aro Indeed white unto the harvest,
n,ld ,ncrc 0I"? nccih ellicicnt lalorcrs to gather
tho ,vllole of tU l"lrt of thc ll"orTP into the
Bnn,pr of Anti-Slavery. Few can conceive thc
dpcP interest that hundreds take in the great
action of Liberty and Slavery. Never in my
recollection was there a timo when the ears of
thc P00!'10 cre "P0" to ,ho daim" of humnnity
at present. In almost every place may be
found those who arc anxiously inquiring, in
other than a mere sectarian sense, "What shall
I do what shall the nation do to be saved :"
Confidence in tho popular religion, s also in
the political parties, has been mightily shaken.
Tho eyes of the peoplo arc directed to other
than tho aliove sources for delivcrcncc, and they
seem anxiously to await tho advent of a re
deemer or guide to lead them out from spiritual
and physical bondage.
I am deeply convinced that tho plan adopted
by thc Friends west of the Cuyahoga, in visit
ing and re-visiting tho different counties and
towns, must result in untold good. In fact, al
ready a mighty agitation has commenced, and
tho cry is when will you visit us again ?
After closing our meeting I went, accompa
nied by Allen llisey, to Wellington, in Lonun
county. Tliis is quite a thriving little village
with thc railroad passing close to it. No church
could be obtained for thc meeting, so thc meet
ings were held in the Town Hall quite a com
modious building. There is a Literary Society
j comprised of a large number of thc intelligent
citizens of thc place. Its regular meeting was
on thc first evening of our visit to the place.
A largo number were in attendance, both male
and female. I was invited to address the So
ciety on thc subject of Slavery, which of course
1 did.
Four meetings were held in tho plact! a good
deal inquiry elicited. The politicians and church
members felt quite excited. No wonder where
they had never heard the views of the Ameri
can Society presented before. Wc sold quite a
number of books and obtained ,fce subscribers
for Tho Bugle.
Honorable mention ought to be made of Mr.
Humphry, a coinc-outcr, at whoso house wc
staid, and also of Mr. llerriek, a merchant, who
treated us with idl thc kindness of a truo man.
They arc very anxious to have a visit from II.
C. Wriyht. 1 hope he will try to make Wel
lington and Sullivan in his way.
Our next meetings were in Sullivan, Ash
land county. Something over two years since
I visited this place, and although there is but
little anti-slavery of thc true stamp, still thc
Free Soilers differ from those in many places.
They turn out to hear, and do much to encour
age. The fact is, they owe all they are to the
old organization. Before Stephen and Abby vis
ited there, they could never cast but three Lib
erty party votes. Immediately after, tho vote
rose to near eighty, and now to one hundred and
fifty. I spoke on Friday and Saturday even-'
ings, and preached throe times on Sunday.
Tho house was filled all tho time, and the most
intense excitement prevailed. Tho town seemed
all in commotion discussions in every corner
and store, and tavern, were tho order of thc day.
Most gloriously did the cause of " Pure Reli
gion " prevail in tho souls of thc masses pre
sent rooting -up and destroying the old pro
slavery feelings so long cherished. The churches
were all closed against us. The old cry of Infidel
raised. Meetings were held in every church.
But in opposition to all, the glorious cause of
Truth progressed mightily. In fact, tho very
ctforts of the clergy to render us unpopular, on
ly extends our fame and makes hundreds feci
an anxiety to hear us. At thc close I obtained
eleven new subscribers for the paper.
From thence we went to Lodi. Thc prospect
was very discouraging. Every thing looked
dark. The church was there closed also. Thc
first meoting in the Town House was large
thc impression powerful. At tho close, a Mr.
Lomas, of thc church, rose and stated the rea
son why ho and others shut us out of the
church, viz our infidelity. Ho read the fourth
resolution of thc Berlin Convention to prove
thc whole Society infidel. I explained the rea
sqn of our joy in thc decline of American reli
gion, &c. All seemed on our side. This bro
ther quoted Paul, where wo are forbidden to
bid heretics God-speed ; not so much as to re
ceive them into your houses. I showed what
tho tendency of such a doctrine was j that if
all held such views of Christianity, every re
former or tho bearer of higher truths, would be
driven out from all shelter and must perish.
Still he said if God commanded it he would do
it. I rcpUed that if all the Gods in the uni
verse commanded me to do so, I would do no
such thing. I proposed to speak on thc subject
of Christianity tho next day if a place could be
obtained. Tho church refused, when a gentle
man roso and stated that tho Free Mason Hall
could be hired for three dollars. It was imme
diately resolved to go there. Wo did so. I
unfolded Christianity to them as a great system
of Humanity. Tho people saw and were glad.
At the close, Mr. Ainaworth, a professed Deist,
refused to take any pay for tho use of the Hall
In speaking of Christianity, a good brother of
tho Wealcyan order who has not felt over good
towards me since I left the church, stated that
he believed Christianity was to love our neigh
bor as oursclf ; and in tho true spirit told me
I wanted land I could have twenty acres of his
form cheerfully. I know our friend docs desire
to know thc truth and practice it. I told him
with thanks that whenever I run ashore,
would gladly cmbraco his offer.
At night tho meeting was very large. I took
up tho question of the formation of a Northern
Republic. Thc mooting was all attention, and
, at tho close I obtained thirteen now subscribers
for Tho Bugle. Tho best thing for us is the
riosmg of the chujehes, and the opposition of
elcrgy.

to November 1st,
On the 3d of Octolier, tho President com
municated the following Message to the As
sembly :
President Bonaparte's Message.
At half-nnst five o'clock. M. li
mimicotedto tho Legislative Assembly thc
iiuiurt iiig iiicraagc iroin me lTesulent ot tlie
Republic!
" Monsieur lo President Under the prnvo
circumstances in which wo lire pluced, the
accord w hich ought to reign among the dif
ferent bodies of the state cannot be maintain
ed unless by the existence ofn mutual confi
dence, nnd unless they explain themselves
sincerely to each other.
In order to give an example of that sincer
ity, I come liirward now to state the reasons
which have determined me to change the
ministry, and to separate myself from men
whose eminent services I niii well pleased to
proclaim, and to whom 1 owe friendship and
gniiuuuc.
In order to strengthen the Republic, mena
ced by anarchy from so many sides ; to in
sure order more efficiently than has been
done up to the present time ; to mnintuin
abroad the name of France at tho elevation
of her renown, men ore needed, who, anima
ted by n patriotic devotedness, comprehend
the necessity of the single direction ofn firm
character, and of a clearly defined policy.
which does not compromise power by an ir
resolution; of men, whose minds are as
much filled w ith the conviction of my pecu
liar responsibility ns of their own, nnd of the
necessity of uction as well as of words
(great agitation.)
For nearly it year I have given ninny
proofs of sell-denial in order that there might
be no misunderstanding with regard to my
reul sentiments. Without rancor against any
individual or against any party, I have allow
ed nicii of tho most contrary opinions to ar
rive at power, but without obtaining the hap
py result which 1 expected from thut arrange
ment. Jn pluce of effecting a fusion of dif
ferent shades of opinions, 1 only arrived at a
neutralization of lorce.
The utility of views and intentions was in
terfered with, and the spirit of conciliation
taken for weakness. 'Scarcely had tho dan
cers of "the Btrect been over, when the an
cient parties were seen again to elevate their
colors, revive tlieir rivalries, nnd ularm the
country uy rousing dismiumidu.
Jn the midst of this confusion, France, un
easy becutise she cannot see any guiding
bund, seeks the hand and will of the elected
of December the 10th. But that will "cannot
be felt unless there lie entire unanimity of
ideas, and of convictions between the Presi
dent and his ministry ; mid unless tho As
sembly itself joins in lire thought of the na
tion as expressed in the election of the Ex
ecutive power.
A wliol system triumphed on the 10th of
December,' for the name of Napoleon is a
complete programme in itself. It means at
home, order, authority, religion, and the wel
fare of the people; abroad, national dignity.
It is this system that I wish to cause to tri
umph by the aid of the Assembly end the
people. I wish to bo worthy of the confi
dence of tho people by maintaining the" con
stitution which I huve sworn to observe.
wish to inspire the country, by my fiiir,
straightforward deuling, perseverance and
urnuiess, with a confidence that business
will revive.
The letter of the constitution has certain
ly a great influence ou the destiny of tho
country, Lut thc manner iu which it is exer
cised has perl laps even more. The longer
or shorter duration of power contributes
powerfully to the stability of things, but it
only by displaying ideas and principles that
a government cuii succeed iu persuading so
ciety to reussure itself.
Let us, therefore, again raise up authority
without iuterteriug with real liberty. Let us
calm Jho apprehensions that are felt by van
quishing bud passions, and by giving to ull
noble instincts a projter direction. Let us
strengthen religious feeling, without aban
doning the conquests of the revolution; and
we shall save the country in spite of the par
ties, the ambitious, and even the infatuations,
wliich our institutions may contain.

. - PROSPECTUS
OF TUB
SESSION OHIO STATESMAN.
rrllE legislature of Ohio and of tho Congress.
J. of thc Nation, ere about to convene. I'rom
Washington wo shall have Daily Telegraphic
Reports and a regular Correspondent by mad,
uid between tho two, our readers will have the
earliest news and a general outline of the doitrgs
at thc Ecderal city. - - ; - .
Thc sessions of tho Ohio Legislature, always
of deep interest to our people, will be of pecu
liar importance this Winter, owing to the vote
of the peoplo in favor of New Constitution.
If a single voter has ncglactcd heretofore to in- .
lorm himself on political matters, or has been
ticgugent of voting, the tune is now come when
le should be so no longer. In tho framing of
Constitution, by which we aro all hereafter to
be governed, every one should take part and
lid to tho best of his abilities in making it a
good one. And there is no time to be lost, as
the Legislature may decide to hurry this ques
tion upon us earlier than many may suppose.
Action should therefore commence at once.
Wo have no desire to boast, or do injustice to
others, but wo think wc con appeal to thc pub
lic from past experience, with justice to say,
that thc Ouio Statesman has been the only pa
per at thc State Capitol that has pretended for
years to give any thing like full reports of tho
legislative procM-dings j and wc expect tliis year
to give equal, if not greater attention to a full
and impartial history of tho doings of our law
maker, To be remunerated for this groat labor
aad expense, wc expect a Utrge, yes a generous
lit of siissiox svBsciuucns. But to procuro
them wc must rely on our friends throughout tho
Slate to aid in getting them up and forwarding
them to us and thc earlier it is done after thc
receipt of tliis Fuospectcs, or a knowledge of
our terms, thc better ; as it will givo us timo to
enter them upon our books and estimate tho
probable amount necessary to commence with.
In addition to thc legislative proceedings, the
approaching Winter is the time for the mooting
of the biennial Conventions of the political par- .
ties of thc State, and the nomination of candi
dates for Governor. Every democrat will want
thc full TjrocQodinra of the Hth of Januarv I lo
in ocrutic Convention, one not less important
than any that ever preceded it one on which
may depend tho future triumphs or defeats of
our party. In fact, so important is the action
of thc approaching Winter m the politics of our
State, that every man should feci interest enough
in it to see that his neighborhood is supplied
with the proper information. Tho old adage
that " A stitch in time saves nine," is not less
applicable to politics and public affairs, than in
private matters.

The session of the Legislature may be a short

three months, or until the last day of February,
and if against all probabilities it should continuo
longer than three months, we will continuo
sending until tho close of the session, so as not
to break the connection of tho proceeding. To
this our subscribers surely cannot object.
