"LibertY Advocate"

The editor ofthis paper wishes to know he mistook the
character Ofthe Bugle, and conveyed a wrong impression
off in his editorial notice, and ifso, he desires to make the
amende honorable. We think that he did in some respects,
but it probably was unintentional on his part.
His notice, five rightly understand it is calculated to
give the impression that eur paper is oppos ed to all eccle-
siastical organizations, and to all political action, whereas
it is opposed to neither, as such. On the Antislavery
platform, we have nothing to do with church organization;
we contend against that corrupt religion which sanctions
and sanctifes American slavery, that viest ofall abomina-
tons; and in seeking the overthrow of that, we do not ne
cessarily aim at the destruction of ecclesiastical organiza-
ton. Churches may, and have been purified of all faint o
slavery, and the organization remained unscat he'd, and
we have in our mind now, a church in New England
/ which has dissolved all connection with the atrociols sys-
TENT stands disconnected from all other churches, and
has not one member who in any way participates in the
conduct ofthe government. Now we know of no Adolf
tionists who consider the humiliation of that organization
as necessary for the emancipation of the slave; on the con.
trary, we see them pointing to that b cdy as a bright exam.

there isno hope for thlmi and if when slavery is cast out

says, $40 all the existing political parties, and also to tn

WESTERN INDIANA - Vincennes, July 6.--Never
has been such a season for harvesting--much Of it
has been done by the hour--that is, in the intervals
between showers, and as a natural consequence, i'm
mense quantities have been lost. witness some
fields growing sta nding-others cut, and growing in
the swalh-olhers in shocks grown and completely
matted together. The quality of the grain is excel
lent, and The quantity would have been medium, il
The weather had been fair. In the North pert Of tho
State, when | left home one week ago, no wheat was
cut. 1t was generally of q very small growth, with
short vel filled heads. II the present weather is IA
vorable for that great wheat district, the farmer will
have a medium crop of excellent wheat. Corn and
f1lher crops there did not look pro~mising-2they need
ed rain badly. Here in the Wabash Valley, The
corn looks we'll, though suffering greatly for wan, oil
working that has been prevented by The rains. On
The billy cloggy land, not only corn but every thing
else looks as though it had been first wasted and than
scalded.
WIsCoNsiN. THE Wisconsin reapers are in The
field, gathering in as good a crop Of ,rinter tuhedt as
was ever produced in The territory. One third II not
one half more ground has been sown in wheat this,
Than in any former year; and the yield will be at least
as good as at any previous period. The spring wheat,
which Of course rIpens some two or three weeks later
than he winter grain, also promises an abundant
crop. Oats and Corn likewise bid fair TO be all aver
age crop, The slight rains and warm weather for a
week or two past having enabled them to recover
from the ~blighung effects Of the cold aud dry wealth
er of May and the beginning of June. Potatoes are
doing very we'll but the grass crop will be rather
short, except On low grounds and wet prairle.--Rd'

Dreadful Steamboat Accident.

ed and commanded by Capt. Rosal Frisbee, Of this
city, and for some time past running on The Missouri
trade, burst her s!arboard boiler in leaving Herman,
on that river. on tho 23d, at one P. NJ, throwing ii

Notwithstanding a perfect wreck of the boat
above the lower deck as far back as the ladies' cabin,
and spreading death and desolation amongst the pas
sengers.
The number Of killed and scalded is about twenty
three. The wreck hoated below the landing, about
two miles, before she could be landed-about two
hundred yards below Mr.. Consoles landing--at which
place she will discharge freight and get ,owed thence
TO st. Louis. The hull of the boat received no inju-
ry. The Captain was blown above the pilot house
but received no injury. James Mellon, the clerk, was

Our First Page.

Those who think that nothing has been done by the An
ti-slavery agitation, will lowell to turn to our first page,
which we have this week made up of Antislavery articles,
copied exclusively from Wing and Democratic papers.
Ten years ago it would have been political damnation for
any party papers to publish what they now insert as a mat
ter ofcoursei public opinion has become go changed that
itsustains them ia it. 1t is not merely this or that paper
which is beginning 70 be abolitioni5ed, but the change in
their positions is owing to a change in the community at
large; they are but the hands of the watch which stood a
the third hour, but now point to the eleventh.
The article headed 1.-THE first of August" IS from the col
umns of the New York Tribune, and is not only admirably
written but contains a great deal ofsound Anti-slavery SEN
timent. Indeed, we know of no paper of the kind which
publishes so much Antisslavery matter as does the Tribune.

Free Meetings.

The opponents Of the American A. S. Society
have often falsely accused it of being a no human
government, womsn's right society. 1t is perhaps
owing to these and similar charges, that an impression
exists in some parts of the state that our meetings
are free meetings in the most comprehensive mean
ing of the term. They are free anti Slarery meet
iagS, where all may come and freely speak upon the
subject of slavery; but not free for persons to come
and talk upon Phrenology or characterization Ag
rculture or Dieletics, Metaphysics OF Theology.
~Infdelily or Orthodoxy; 10 discuss the prcprlety of
building a rail road or digging a canal. And we pre-
sumo that no person on mature reflection could for a
moment think that a free Anti Slavery meeting, as
sembled under an Anti Slavery call, was a proper
place to introduce these topics.
Our meetings, be it understood are free to all ror
the discussion of slavery, but free to none Tor the
discussion of any other questions than those which
pertain to chaitleisn. When we invite The people tC
an Anti Slavery meeting, we intend it shall be Anti
Slavery so far as our influence can make it so. To
convert it into a meeting of any other description
would be a fraud upon The community.
We have no objection 10 free meetings, as they are
technically called, if people choose to appoin, them

An Apology.

We understand that some of our subscribers are
getting impatient about the irregular publication oil
our paper, and doubtless some apology is necessary,
not only for this, but also for its present inferior ap.
p%earance. Circumstances beyond our control have
prevented its regular publication, and so we trust our
subscribers will bear with us, for a little while. The
printer who has been engaged has now gone to Phil
adeiphia for a new press, new type, and good paper;
and when they shall arrive, our arrangements are such
that we shall be able 10 furnish our patrons punctu
ally with a much Landsomer sheet. We expect TO

TO Salem.

tenn they areilaboring to overthrow. And the n~on-resist-
ants even, are not, as AbOlitionists, opposed to political ac-
ton.
We advocate secession from the u. States government,
merely because it is a slaveholding government--we say,
refuse to support the constitution, because it is a slavehoi'
ding document. Could the people act pollticallyto build
up an Antisavery government, and to form a constitution
that would practically acknowledge the freedom OF all
without swearing to support slavery, we hold that such &C.
ton would be perfectly consistent with true Antislavery
principles. .

To Subscribers.

In the hurry and confusion attendant upon the reception
OF subscribers names at the Marlboro meeting, we have
reason 10 believe that several were lost; we also think it
likely that one or more of the subscription lists that have
been circulated in different parts of the country have not
vet been returned; if therefore, you know of any who
have subscribed and who do not receive their papers,
we will thank you to notify us of the fact, and the omis-
sion viii be promptly corrected.

held, and The audience assemble with the express un-
Outstanding that every Que is at liberty to speak on
any subject he may choose. This is perfectly fair,
and no one has a right TO complain; because this is
the object for which the people convened. But when
an anti slavery meeting is called, it should be under.
stood that slavery is the subject for discussion.

The Captured Ohioans.

On our fourth page will be found some account of the
manner in which the citizens of this state are kidnapped
by Virginians. Our columns are too much crowded to per-
init us to make muchcomment uponit. But these outrages
are not greater, nor so great as we havelong anticipated and
as from the nature Of things we must necessarily receive.
This is but "the beginning of the end.' We have sown
the wins, and will most assuredly real the whIrlwind Il
is in conformity with the teachings of experience and the
doctrines of sound philosophy, that he who fastens the
chain about his brothers heel, will always find the other
end ofthat chain around his own neck.
You have long done the bidding of slavery, you have hur-
Jed back the painting fugitive, you have bathed your bayo-
nets in the hearts blood ofthe ~ihsurgent slave, and have
sworn that you would continue to do so. You have fed tho
monster upon the quivering flesh and p~alpitating hearts of
and rend you.
Now his impartial hunger
Demands another prey,
And from your own hearth fires,
He plucks your sons away"
viii you continue to hold longer fellowship with him!
A re you yet sleeping, dreaming pleasant dreams Of Free
dom and peace, while he is preparing to devour you!
"Rouse from your shameless slumbering!
The hand is at your throat,
That from the Black mans forehead
The crown of Manhood stnote."
Protection and safety are not to be found in Constitutions
or in laws, for these are but ink stained parchments, pow
erless in themselves for good or for evil. A regenerated
publis sentiment is the only means by which we can Sc
cure to ourselves and others, the peaceable provision and
free exercise ofour natural rights; and in order to produce
this, we must refuse to hold union with those who are sus-
tanning that system, which as impartially and as justly
kidnaps the white citizen of Ohio, as it doeJ the colored
citizens of Virginia.
