THE ANTI-SLAVERY. BUGLE.
CORRESPONDENCE FROM INDIANA.
AflWor.
ur.A, Stuben Co, Indiana, 1
March Bd. 18&&. J
7b A Editor of the tiuglt : flit en men est of
description, necessarily given of Anti-Slavery la
bor or on new ground hah of lute dbtered mo
from inflicting communications cf tlill character
a Don your render, hoping thereby to givD place
. something more in conformity to tile tastes and
demands of the people. But tthen t remember
the oft-repeated tales, and trullmk that have fur
centuries stood sentinel to gonitis and to wdrth,
thrilling some new cord of being, by ever Varied
Account, and still forever new, to fresh existences,
and ever growing with recipient form and beauty,
I find some slight npnlngy for saying "in a solemn
way," the rery things you knew bofore.
And first of all you should soe the pooplo of the
far off west who brar in tl.cir relation to the
ast, the poets personification of "the thirsty soul,
panting for the cooling water-brooks" niado glad
and trusting, by the practical demonstrations of
rebellion to the slave power, from the pop ular vice
of Massachusetts which hut a few months ago came
hear extinguishing the flickering hopes of millions
of the north, who hung upon Aer action, the des
tiny of human freedom, the glory of the world.
The election to the U. S. Senate of a man from
among the people, a man of bone and musclo, and
of healthy, visrortus consoience That little
pisoda in Legislative Hall, where liberty in chains
truck out a march, that slavery fifty strong could
not docoy, or follow Those baskets of petitions,
God speed their echo, frotrt tho Pilgrim land, n
to the broad lakes and prairies of the west, wher
ever freedom lives and Slavery hunts its crouching
victims, with or without federal law. Ood save
the widows and orphans from the Judge whose
charity for a Slaveholder, fills heaven and earth
with worse than widow's wails, or injured orphans
aighs. The popular Anti-Slavery lecturer admin
istered so well, and skillfully to New York and
Boston, not in infinitesimal pills, that neither kill
nor cure, but in broad ocean baths, with corres
ponding friction, which Mrs. Stowe so beautifully
tells, unfolded to the light of day, truths, hidden
being, from the hearts of startled thousands.
There are signs, of great significance to those,
nd they are many, who are sure, that "something
tint right no how" but have no definito idea of
where the wrong can end, or right begin, or which
side Up the world would be,if such a change should
come.
And here I cannot fail to notice that bold, wel-
tome universal travclor tho New York Tribune,
whose unwearied, dauntless footsteps we have
traced alike to homes of affluence and want. Homes
in the deep, dark forest. Cabins, where tho light
of sun, and stars, 'enjoy thoir pristine freedom,
mingling their lessons with that "weekly" orb
whose revolution brings the light and warmth that
bursts the clay-bound soil, and shoots its tender
blade a living thing, to bud and blossom and to
scatter golden seed, whose fruit shall heal the
nations.
The reports of those prime Anti-Slavery lectures
of Phillips, Emerson and Parker, before the eas
tern lyceums have been read, not only with avidity
nd profoundest admiration, but with .enthusi
astio hope and the deep, great heart of the people
west, throbs out a loud response to freedom's pulses
in the East, even though it be "no union with
laveholding."
Here are however a great number, "which no
man can number" and when only greatness con'
aists in this, who are "as much as over," opposed
to agitation of this question, among which aro the
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian demonstra
tions, of which this new country is prolific. I say
this is their only greatness, because true greatnesg
hat its foundation and validity in goodness.
Rev. James Smylie of the Amity Presbytery
Miss, in a pamphlet written in defence of Slave-
holding alluding to the charges of Abolitionists,
admits the facts adduced by them, but denies their
criminality. He says if Slavery be a sin, and
advertising and apprehending slaves with a view
to restore them to their masters, is a direct Viola
tion of the divine law, and if the buying and sell
ing, and holding a slave or the sake of gain, is a
heinous sin, and scandal, then vorily, iiree fourths
of all the Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, and
Presbyterians in eleven States of this union are of
the Devil. And Bishop Soule iu debate before the
General Conference of M. E. Church in 1844, ad
mitting facts alledged of Slavery in the Methodist
Church, but not their criminality, said "if Slavery
be such an evil our only alternative is, the re-organization
of the Church or withdrawal (Vomit, as
soon as possible." As an apology for this great
evil, Bishop Soule read an extract form the ad
dress of the goneral superintendauts of the M. E.
Church, at their last session in 1840, from which
the following is an extract. "Can we at this
eventful time,' render a better service to our coun
try, than by laying aside all interference with re
lations authorised and established by the civil laws,
and applying ourselves wholly and faithfully to
what pertains to our high and holy calling, to
teach and enforce the moral obligations of the Gos
pel, in application to all the duties growing out of
all the relations in Socioty ? By a dilhgent devo"
tion to this evangelical employment with a humble
nud steadfast reliance upon the aid of divine in
fluence, the number of 'believing masters,' and
sor rants, may be constantly increased, tho kindest
sentiments and affections cultivated, domestic bur
dens lightened, mutual confidence cherished, and
the peace and happiness' of society be promoted.
While on the other haud, if past history affords us
any correct rules of judgement, there is much
cause to fear that the influence of our sacred office,
' if employed in interference with the relation it
self, and consequently with the civil institutions of
the country will rather tend to prevent, than to
accomplish these desirable ends." To this docu
ment said Bishop Soule (of which I have copied
but part) I dosire that my name may be attached
till I sleep in death. I desire to leave it as a legacy
to my cbildrens children, even to the latest gener
ation and if I could do it, I would leave it as
legacy to the Church, as a rule of action on this
subject, when I shall be no more. This doctrine
of no interference "with the relation itself, '
Bishop Soule and other Bishops of the M. E.
Church, first eliminated in the General Confer
ence of 1836 in a resolution passed by that body,
which reads, ''That they are decidedly opposed to
Modern abolitionism, and, wholly disclaim any
right, wish or intention to interfere in the civil
and political relation between master and slave as
ft exists in the Slaveholding States of this Union,"
has become the cherished inheritance of all the
popular Churches in the land. A doctrine adop
ted by the M. E. Church most especially Upon
worldly policy alone, and not for want of knowl
edge of iu true character. John Wesley the
, father and founder of Methodism, said, more than
sixty years ago of this "relation" toward which
this expediency hat been adopted, that the Slave
holder procured hit property in slaves, "by means
nothing oear9 UBoctot as picking pockets, house
breaking or robbing upon tho high way." They are J
procured said he, "by a deliberate species of more
complicated villainy, fraud, robbery, and murder
than was ever practiced by Mohammedans or Pa
gans." And jot, "to teach, and enforce tho moral
obligations of tht Gospul," in application to all
the duties, growing out of this "relation," will
with the "aid of Divine influence" accomplish the
desirable one's of the church namely, the increase
in numbers of believing masters and servants.
This doctrine was fully elaborated and carried out
at tl.e least General Conference of this body held
at Boston in 1853. A writer in the Western Chris
tian Advocate, Cincinnati, of last month, says, in
reference to to the Dogmn("as he terms it) of some
of the Annual Conferences, who ask that Slave-
holding shall become a test of membership, we
understand too well the interests of the M. E.
Church "to wreck upon Scylla to avoid Char
rybdis." We have been meeting in this vicin'.ty most
formidablo opposition from this Church, upon
the ground that none of these things aro true, of
her and that she is an Anti-Slavery Church, and arc
threatened with a mob and the old "coat of mail" if
we do not desist from further operations in this
county, where, as said a minister of this demon
stration a few Sabbaths sincc.we had, including Mr.
and Mrs. Foster, thoroughly poisoned the senti
ments of the people, and to a great extent destroy
ed their confidence in their popular roliginn.
We feel however quite secure, among the intel
ligent, liberal, high smiled people of Angola,
where wo have just held with Mr. Fust a very large
and enthusiastic meeting, commencing Saturday
evening and closing with much tho largest nudi
enco at the fourth session, and shall go out again
to our labor in this, and adjoining counties, fully
strengthened by our past experience, and pres
ent beliefs, that in this good cause. The martyr
dom to day, brings victory to-morrow.
In hope of success,
Yours for truth,
JOSEPHINE S. GRIFFING.
FROM IOWA.
PRAIRIE HOME, Benton Co., Iowa.
Dear FniEND M.ans: I hastily take time to
pen a lew lines to the readers of the Bugle:
It does me good to let you know how tho world
wags along with us, (as many suppose,) in this be
nighted region.
We have a beautiful country, with its boundless
prairies, lying in a succession of waves, like the
billows of tho ocean, and almost inexhaustible fer
tility of soil, inviting tho farmer to come where he
will bo richly repaid for his toil. Our soil is of a
sandy loam, of from two to five feet in depth, and
it is truly astunishing with what rapidity it shoots
forth vegetation. I am confident things grow with
half the amount of labor that they do in eastern
Ohio. Bosides.the soil will stand tho drouth much
better.
We live noar Big Grovo, a body of 1,200 acres
of as good timber as there is in the State, of a
mixed varioty oak, black and white walnut, linn,
cherry; and soft elin mostly very tall and straight
Tho country is well watered, well adapted to
stock raising, and especially Bheep, as our winters
are not Wot as they aro in Ohio. We have not had
rain enough since winter set in to catch a tub of
rain water under the caves. And up to the 1st of
January, we had the most beautiful winter weath
er I ever saw, in fact, winter could hardly be said
to have set in till after that time: Since then, it
has been more cold and blustering, generally clear,
hardly a day but what the sun has shone, have had
but very little snow. The coldost day we had, the
thermometer sunk to nineteen degrees below
zero.
It is surprising how the land has been taken tip
for the last six months. Wo camo in July last,
and entered on the outskirts, and now thoro is not
a vacant quarter within ton miles of us, and
houses aro springing up lik magic over tho prairie.
But enough of the country.
Methinks some one asks "What is the society
like?" Why, it is composed of a mixed variety,
like tho timber. But, bo it said to the credit of t'.ie
place, there is (to my knowledge) but ono regular
built, dyed-in-thc-wool old hunker in the place,
and we have some hopes, however faint, of his re
generation, as wo havo a dobating club in success
ful operation, whero such old fogies are handled
a
withoumittens. We havo discussed some very
good questions, among which was woman's rights,
and as hunkcrish as this man is, he he hadn't tho
courage to come out and npposo that much needed
reform. It almost amounted to a lecture, and tho!
subject wits handled in a mastorly manner by a
Mr. Shults, a very radical reformer from tho State
of New York. I am rejoiced that Mr. S. is hero.
Would there were more like tiiiri. Ho Is destined
to make his mark here. Our last question but one
was, Resolved, that the signs of the times indicate
a dissolution of the Union. It did me good to sec
his earnest indignation of those peace-making and
quiet-restoring compromises. Oh, how doubly I
felt tho need of that gift that unfortunately I have
not got a speaker. Yet I endeavored to show, as
best I could, if the Union was worth the price
paid for it. Our hunker was very sensitive as re
gards that pink of villinny, the Fugitive Slave
Law. lie didn't relish being made out worse than
Judas.
No indeed, this is not the most benighted place
under the sun. Forty copies of the Tribune are
taken at this office, which soon will pave tho way
for something moro radical. There is a paper just
started at Vinton, called tho Vinton Eaglo, that
claims independence on all subjects. .
Mr. Shults informed me he was going to disenss
woman's rights through its columns, with a Mr.
Dolfort, who has recently Come in with his family
from Indiana.
But I see I am running on to a greater length
than I intended. Therefore I will stop right here,
by saying that if anybody wants to come west to
get them a good home in a healthy and prosperous
country, tell them to come here ; especially if they
possess liberality and are not conservative.
Yours for Progression in the Far West.
Feb. 21, 1855. M. BRANIN.
Fdxiral HoNotts, of the most imposing charac
ter were paid, in New York to tho murdered Pu
gilist William Pool. He was a professional Pugil
ist, and kept a grog shop and a gambling house,
and yet New York turned out by thousands to honor
him at bis burial. Large numbers of Know-Noth
ings appeared in tbe procession, for the first time
publicly designating themselves by wearing small
strips of ribbons in their button holes. Pool was
the bully of technical Amerioanisin and was thot
by two foreigners. One a welchman by birth and
the other an Irishman. This faot doubtless ac.
counts in a great measure for the demonstration.
But however aooounted for, it reveals a most cor
rupt publio tentiment, wben notoriont leaders in
vice and rriroc nre thus h0DnrcJ.
PROSCRIPTION.
Prejudice against colored porsons, pvf n in this
oomltiunity is much greater than otio would infer.
if he wcro guided in bis judgement by the char-
acter Jtalem has abroad. 1 have lately mado somo
observations, and much to my surprise, find many
respectablo persons either actively engaged in the
wofk of degrading the black or colored man, or
silently coniving at or rather submitting to usages
or customs the tendancy of which 1 1 to degrade
and crush him, by fixing the law of inferior cast
upon him, Tln.ro is not only no col jred pbrsons in
either of the thrco great temperance orders.va Good
Templers, Sons of Tcinporanco, or Temple of
Honor, but thosoordors are opposed to admitting
them, I wish to oxnmine briefly tho injustice of
such a course In the first pluce, the black or col
ored man has just tho saiuo natural rights, that
we tho pale-faced, Anglo-Saxons have, and he, like
us, is afflicted with the evils of intemperance.
Hence it follows, that If God, the fountain from
whom all good flows, hath constituted us his hum-
bio missionaries for tho spread of tho p;opel of
temperance, we should offer to nil the full benefit
of our labors. Tho fact of being born in a
different climate cannot effect natural rights. I
believe that of one blood, God created all na
uations of the earth, to dwell togothcr in peace.
What right have I to ask a brother man who culls
on metorholp in Ins need, whence lie came or
what manner of man he is? Oh I H it not our
duty to extend tho helping hand to all who suffer?
I love the noblo sentiment of that wise and good
man, William L.Garrison "my country is the world,
my countrymen mankind." Haste the happy
day when nil will acknowledge tho universality of
man s natural rights ; when all wi;i acknowledge
a common brotherhood, one just God the supreme
ruler, and ever present.

UNIVERSALISTS IN MICHIGAN.
BRIGHTON. Mich. March 7th. 1855.
Mr. Editor: By attending Church Conventions,
n which Anti-Slavery resolutions are discussed,
many who now regard the churches as Anti Sla
very, would bo convinced of their pro-slavery
character, and not continue nny longer therein,
that harmony might provail or grace abound. The
following is a sketch of tho proceedings of the
Universalis Association, hidden in Farniington,
Mich., in Juno last. A resolution declaring that
christians could not obey the requirements of the
Fugitive Slavo La, Was rejected by the council.
The Chairman spoko of thb great importance of
harmony, and while manifesting considerable
ardor himself, exhorted each and nil to keep cool,
and make tho advancement of tho causo of Uni
versalis!!! their great and leading object. A min
ister npuko at great length in favor of yielding
obedience to tlio Fugitivo Law. Christianity re
quired it. No matter how bad a law was.it should
. .. r
be obeyed, oven t ioiifih it requiicatiie innSinRni
.1.(1
innocent men. hen half a dozen such men had
been hung, the law would bo repealed! A mem
ber of the council thought a man should obey the
law, lest he loso his property, and his family come
to want. Another member of the council opposed
tho resolution at its introduction, as an element of
discord, and afterwards moved to amend the reso
lution, by striking out the word Christian, inas
much as all true Christians would obey all the
laws of the land. This motion was lost. One
minister spoke in favor of tho resolution, and an
other wished to. but for want of tiino tho vote was
taken without further discussion five voting for,
and six against the resolution. Other resolutions
of a similar character met a similar fate. A min
ister begged that no ono would conclude that the
Association was a pro-slavory body! They were
anli-niavciy men, but opposed to demonstrations
in the Church. Yes, the churches aro all filled
with anti-slavery but it is a peculiar kind an
anti-slavery that fellowships slaveholders as breth
ren in tho Lord, who do not hold slaves for gain,
but for tilt) good of souls, nud who, having availed
thomselvcs of the means of grace, and joined the
church, havo mado their calling and election sure.
Such churches aro like tho old ladiy's beloved
minister not quite equal to Christ, but fully equal
to Anti-Christ.
Yours with respect,
O. ROBERTS.
EMANCIPATION IN PERU.
Peru has beon convulsed by a revolutionary war.
The revolutionists have been successful. Casth.la,
their leader, has signalized his success among
other things, by proclaiming emancipation to slaves
in the country, with tho promise of remuneration
to the masters.
This measure of Peruvian justico is soriously
atfiicting to slaveholders and some of their North
ern allies. The Journal of Commerce deplores it
as follows i
"All tho planters aro ruined. Tho losses of
sotne approach f j00,000, besides tho futuro pro
ducts of their plantations. Many families in Lima
that wero impoverished by lormer wars, and that
wero living by the labor of a few slaves that they
retained, whom they permitted to labor on thoir
own account, by paying their masters a small
monthly stipend, are now reduced to absolute pov
erty. At the samo timo, eatables have risen 50
per cent., and some still moro; white sugar, lump,
is selling by retail at 16 emits, and other products
of tho country iu pi opart oh.
"Had tho iiianUmUsio.i of tho slaves been grad
ual, say 10 percent, annually, nnd funds ready to
pay for thein, it is not probable that any objection
would have been made to stocking the plantations
.nth othertaborers in the meantime, and the prices
of products would not have risen. As it is, two or
three millions moro will bo expended by the popu
lation of Lima alone, yearly, fur the necessaries of
lite. If the Government does not take some meas
ures to ameliorate tho condition of the planters and
consumers, it is much to bo feared that wn shall
not enjoy peace for a great length of time."
Let tuem do it. Says the Washington Sentinel:
In the Next House of Representatives tho alio
litionists will havo a majority. Should such vile
and infamous propositions be mado; should the
vote be takon ; tuiould that vote show a maiority
for the incendiaries of whom wo havo spoken
then, and we say it solemnly, wo would not an
swer for the consequences. They would deserve,
maiority though they be, to be drive from tde
Hall of Legislation, as Cromwell drove the cor
rupt men of his day from their scats in the Halls
ot hnglisu Legislature.
We should like to see some Southern Cromwell
undertake that job. The north has no business in
these halls in fellowship with slaveholders. And
if she won't stay away from such evil company,
or won't turn them out, liberty will bo served by
her own expulsion.

liberty ; that I am with those who art my Irionds
Until my tenth year I did nut care what came of
mo l but toon after I began to learn that there
is a Christ who came to make us free ; I began to
hoar about a North, and to feel the necessity for
freedom of soul and body. I heard of a N mh
where men of my o.dur could live without any man
daring to suy to them, 'You are my property i' nnJ
determined bv the blessine of God ono day to
find my wny there. My incl. nation grow on me, I
and 1 l:uml in? way to Bjston.
You soe, I didn't want to make my solf known, so
I didn't tell who I was i but nS I came to work I
gut employment and I worked hard; but I kept try
at

G"1 employment and I worked hard ; but I kept ir.;

niirlit 1 heard somo ono rushing Ijehlid tne i preS'
JLuMer. and some
ently a band was put on my shoulder, and some
body said i ".'stop, stop you arn tho lullow win
bruitc into a silversmith's shop tho other night."
I assured the man that it was a mistake, but al
most before I could speak I was lifted from my
feet by six or seven others, and it was no uso io
resist. In the 'Jouit Houso I waited some time.
but as the silversmith did not come I told them 1
wanted to go ho:n to supper. A man then came
to the door: lie didn't open it like an honet man
would, laughter but kind of slowly npene I it,
and looked in. Ho said, "ItoW dj you do Mr.
ISums?" and I called hi in, as we do lit in Virginia,
"master?"
He asked mo if thefn would le rjriy trouble in
taking mo back to Virginia, and I was brdu''!it
right to a stand, and didn't kn jw what to say. lie
wanted to know if I remembered tho money that
he used to give me, and I said 'Yes, I do recollect
that you used to give me twelve and a half cents
at tho end of every year I worked for you," He
went out and came b;lck the next morning. I got
no supper nor sleep that night. The next morn
ing they told me that my master said that he had
the right to me ; and as I had called him "master,"
having the fear of Uod before my eyes, I could imi
go from it. Next morning I was taken down, w ilh
the bracelets on my wrists not such as you wear,
ladies, rf gold and silver but iron and steel, that
wore into tile bone. He showed the marks which
his iron? nn'.dc
The lawyers insisted that t should havo coiinset.
b'Jt I told told them I didn't think it would do anv
good, for what I had first said had crushed me, and
1 could not deny the truth, and my only hopo was in
the assistance of Heaven. Ho proceeded to relate
how the officers were armed in tho court room ; how
tho United States olDciuls told him that Dana, Ellis,
Phillips nud the rest were d d sons of b s of
abolitionists ; that he would be freed whoil lie (frit
back to Virginia, and advised him to have nothing'
to do with those who pretended to befriend him
whilo they mado his case worse. He replied that
they worked for him manfully, nnd if they did
Hot siicteed it was not their fault. He said he saw
in a newspaper that ho had said ho wished to go
back to Virgnia. Hal tho Devil himself suid
It, he do old have told no greater lie.
IIo then described the scene of his rendition ;
w ''C P"or fugitive wits made (threat lion, and
escorted out of the freo city of Boston, and on
board ot the revenue cutter, amid troops ot men j

kept hiin in a room without bed or seat, and with
"" "cuiuv iuou, ior iwo uujs. no was lanen io
uichmoinj, whero lie was kept in a little pen in
the Traders' Jail for four months, with irons on
his wrists and ancles, so tight that they woro the
flesh through to the bone, and during the month
oT August they gave him a half-pailful of water
every twd days.
From his cell ho was not allowed to corrte out
once during four months ; at the end of that time
ho was sold fur 905 to ono David McDanicl, who
took him to North Carolina.
Tho remainder of his story is short ; hearing of
Ins situation tho money was raised, nnd his pur
chase effected by Mr. Grimes.
Tho address wrts listened to with great interest,
and was much applauded.
The Rev. Mr. Grimes followed, aftor which a
collection was taken up.
Tho Artesian well at Charleston, South Carolina,
is unquestionably a successful enterprise. It is
now some twelve hundred nnd fifty feet deep, and
discharges twenty gallons per minute, orat the rate
4 twenty thousand galldiis per day. Six years
ago the projoct was begun; it has steadily progress
ed since, and now the people are rejoicing in Itav-
i.tg sufficient water tor protection against tire,
thrown up from the surface, and an ample supply
for general use in dry weather.
Congress nas appropriated ?o,uuu lor tho pur
chase of tl work of art by Powers tho American
Artist.
