ANTL-sLAVERY SEWING CIRCLE
THE DIFFERENCE.

The Warren Liberty Herald, after declar-
ing that the United States invaded Mexico in
order to sustain slavery, thus concludes an
article on the wal.
"But we are told that war is declared, and
has been commenced, and therefore we must
in duty stand by our Country. We would
answer this in the words of a contemporary,
~ Ne wiH! but we will not fail to show up
in their proper light, our craven and wicked
rulers, even while we drive Mexico before
us and punish her temerity."
That is what we should call shining against
light, a direct violation Of known right. How
much more anti-slavery and christian are the
| sentiments of DR.. Snodgrass of the Baltimore
Saturday Visiter. The DR.. does not profess t.
be a Liberty party man, he is not so far ad
vanced as that party claims to be, and ther
too, we must bear in mind that his paper il
published in a slayeholding State, and sur
rounded by enemies who are eagerly watch
ing to catch at every thing which they thinl
may be wrested to his disadvantage. In tn
concluding paragraph OF a reply to a younl
friend who had asked him to use his infu
ence to procure for him a Lieutenancy in tn
troops to be raised for the Mexican war, b
says:-
However we might be disposed to dis
criminate between offensive and detensiv
warfare, feeling less repulsion for the latter
we annot yield our approval to the preser

LIBERTY MEN AND PATRIOTISM.

Let not the ~reyilers of liberty men hence
forth open their lips against liberty men as
being insurrectionists, traitors, insurgents or
any thing of the kind, since among the first
to volunteer for Texas, is,ths name Of Maj.
Wm. LGrimer, Jr. as we believe, a good and
honest liberty man, though in this instance
tho Majors zeal may run beyond his judg-
ment.
We found the above in the Pittsburgh
Mystery, and if we remember right, the name
of WIN, Larimer jr. has long been before the
Pennsylvania people as Liberty party's candi-
date for Canal Commissioner, though per-
haps the candidate and Major srs different,
persons. We are not very much surprised at
the movement, for he only volunteers to do
what the Constitution requires of its supper
tiers. Although we admire his consistency,
yet we beg to be excused from reposing a
great deal of faith in the abolitiouism of a
man who is SO eager to fight for Texas and
Slavery.

war upon Mexico. 1t is an aggressive war.
We, and not the Moxicans, are the invaders.
We have sent our army to their soil, ard pro-
voked the very ho5tilities which our govern
ment now Processes to regret. We came
even plead the force of the annexation scheme.
That portion of Mexico on which Genetdl
Taylor planted our standard, was not even a
part of the province which revolted under the
encouragement Of our people, winked at by
our government, and which, without our aid,
would to this hour have continued a Mexican
province. We are warning in the wrong
warning TO consummatc, with rapine and cru
city, what was begun in fraud-to spread the
area OF Despotism in its pettiest and there
fore worst form, under the pretext Of extend
ing the area of Freedom" 1t is a war
which will be disgraceful in defeat-dis-
graceful in victory-disgraceful always! 1t
is a struggle against the omnipotence of
Truth, beneath the frown of Justice-and
therefore one in which no friend of ours will
engage with our sanction, while we retain
our present love of Right and hatred Of
Wrong"

COLONIZATION MOVEMENT.

At the last Annual Meeting of the Am.
Colonization Society, it was proposed, that
Liberia, instead of remaining merely a settle
ment under the patronage of the Society, with
out a name among the governments of the
earth, should take sovereignty upon herself,
and be an independent nation. The friends
of the colonization scheme are discussing this
measure, and SO far as we can learn, it APP
pears to meet with general favor.
England and France would doubtless recog-
nize the independence of Liberia, but we do
not suppose the members of tn Am. Col.
Society arc so ignorant as to believe that
America would do so. If this nation were
TO recognize her independence, the American
government would, of course, have to receive
with all due honor, her Minister Plenipoten-
tiary. This would never answer, for Henry
Clay, the President of that Society, and the
embodiment of colonization principles, as he
is of Wing principles, would curl his lip with
scorn at the idea of having a niger Embas.
sador at Washington-an emancipated slave,
perchance, whom he had sold from his Ash
land plantation to some brother planter. The
plan of independence may answer very wei
for colonizationists to talk about; it may be
the means Of giving them greater influence
over Northern gullability, but we nave nc
idea that the managers of that society viii
be willing to relinquish their power in Afri
ca, until forced to do so; and in the event o
Liberia declaring her independence, we fee
assured she would meet with nc better treat
nent at the hands of the L. S. Government

FIRE IN WARREN

TIE Business part Of The torn in aShesH
We learn by the Western Reserve Chron-
icle that a terrible cO~nfagration occurred in
Warren on the night of the LIST inst. 1t is
supposed the fire originated in the end story
of ~Bolleymeyr's building on Market street.
The Post Office, the office of the Democrat,
and that of the Herald, from twelve to TWEEN
ty stores and shops, Lawyers offices, dwell
ings, &C., were destroyed. The whole range
of buildings on Market street, and extending
from Main to Liberty street is in ruins
The west side Of Main street was frequently
on fire, and was saved with great difficulty.
The Chronicle states that a large amou mt Of
goods was destroyed, though amid the con-
fusion attendant upon such a scene no accu-
rate estimate can be made Of the extent of
such a loss. We regret to learn that a man
was burned to death, Frederick Kane, a Jour-
neyman timer.

T..

At a maeting of members of the religious
denominations Of Salem and its vicinity,
held at the Methodist Episcopal House, May
2Sth, Rev. J. Coon, President, the following
resolutions were adopted with but one dissent
ing poice:
Whereas, Slavery has laid its ruthless hand
on G. +. TORREY, and crushed his physical
constitution in its iron grasp, because he
dared "do unto others as he would nave
others do unto him {; therefore
Resolved, That in the murder Of this our
lamented brother, we recognize the system
Of Slavery an antagonist of Jehovah, and in
league with the emissaries Of Satan.
Resolved, That those who take sides with
this murder, or with the institution which
caused it, whether perceptible to themselves
or not, are acting in opposition to God and
whether professors or non-professors, oppos-
ing that Church, against which it is said
"he gates Of he'll shall never prevaiL."
Resolved, That while we weep with tho
b%ereaved wife and fatherless children, for ono
they shall never, never behold H. time while
we Iningle our tears and heartfelt groans with
the three million slaves, who ilnploringly
turn their eyes towards Heaven and exclaim,
" u pom whom shall his mantle fall! Upon
whom shall the spirit of Torrey rest?" and
while our shriek is heard in unison with that
of Freedom, we have the hope that his spirit,
snatched from the attempted grasp of man,
has gone TO the embrace of Christ

PLEDGES.

Stephen and Abby Foster handed to the
editors of the BugIe for collection, a list of
pledges made to the American, and to the
o. Am. A. S. Societies. The time at which
some of them were to be paid has elapsed,
and if convenient to the friends we should be
glad if they would redeem such, especially
as we have advanced money upon them 10
both Societies, not much, it is true, but we
nevertheless need what we did advance
We have not room this week to publish the
names of those whose pledges are due, nor
do we know that they need any other re-
minder than this notice.

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

From announcements Of "Glorious Tri-
umph," "Our army victorious" and other
expressions Of exultation with which the pa
pers are filed, we Gull material for the follow
ing plain matter of fact statement: There have
been two moro battles between the Mexican
and American troops, in one of which Gener-
al La Vega was taken prisoner. The first
battle was fought upon the 9Th, and the Sec
ond upon the 9th of May. The force of the
Slexicans was estimated at COCO, that of the
Americans was 1900. Upon the principle,
we suppose, Of the more slaughter, the more
glory, many accounts greatly magnify the
loss sustained by the Mexicans, some making
it as high as 1900 men. The dispatches of
General Taylor do not however report the
Americans such wholesale butchers as some
would have US think them. In an official
communication under date of Point Isabel,
May 10th, he says:
1t has been quite impossible as yet to fur
nish detailed reports of the engagements with
the enemy, or even accurate returns of the
killed and wounded. Our loss is not faT
from 3 officers and 40 men killed, and l0G
men wounded; while that of the enemy has
in all probability exceeded 800 killed; more
than 200 have been buried by US on the TIVE
fields of battle.

IMPORTANT OFFER.-We understand from
good authority, that one of the chiefs of the
Creek Nation, now in Washington, has Of
ferred to the President the services of two
thousand picked warriors, should they be
required in the conflict with Mexico. This
is a most praiseworIhy movement, and we
have no doubt will be made use of effectually
if occasion requires.
The above announcement is taken from the
Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia paper, and is
one of the many evidences around us that
what the fathers in &c regarded as criminal
act, when perpetrated by George III upon
them, the sons in &c feel themselves justified

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have some twenty of your commune
cations on hand, all of which we should be
glad to insert this week. If when you send
an article, you would each send some half a
dozen new subscribers with it, our list would
soon warrant an enlargement of the paper,
and then you would not be obliged to wait
so long for the appearance of your commune
cations. Will you not try to do so, and thus
accommodate yourselves and advance the in
terests of the cause? Another very interest
ing article from San Eye Witness" has
been on land two weeks /; a reply to V. Mich
olson from b. d. Davis was received some
time since; two communications from the
former were sent a long time ago {; and be-
sides these, friends Brooke, Smith, Curtis,
and a host of others are waiting to be heard
We wish that we could impress upon you
the necessity Of being brief; if our cores.
pondence increases as it has lone for a few
months past, we shall be obliged to reject all
long communications.

A REpLY.-To the friend who questions
US in relation TO the course pursued by Bart
ley, we would say, he has only done what
his duty as Governor required of him, and
what any incumbent of the Office would have
done in like circumstances if he had been
faithful 10 his trust. The duties of the Office
do not vary, but are ever the same no matter
what may be the opinions of the individual
who for the time being has been elected to
perform them. A Quaker Governor would
have been as much bound to obey the requi-
sition of the President for troops, as any son
of thunder that ever filled the chair. And
had the Liberty party been successful at the
last election, Judge King would have per-
iured himself had he not acted as Barley has
done, and would have been a traitor to Lii
berty if he had and if the war does not close
before the election Of Lewis an event which
we approhcnd is far distant-he will he bound
TO aid in raising troops to march against the
| Mexicans if the President sends on a requi-
sition to that effect.

stranger than fction,and which well illustrate
the terrible character of that despotism whose

as the history Of the Bastile reveals. Thank

MALPRACTICE IN OFFICE.

We thank our friend S. Reed for The in
formation contained in his letter, and assure
him that it was not through any fault of ours
that the papers queried after were not r%eceiv-
ed. We have regularly mailed two copies
of the Bugle TO Austin,own Post Office for
Jane Henry and David Dillon from the time
their subscriptions commenced until we re-
ceived return papers from the Post Master of
the date of May LIST, accompanied by the in
formation that they ,Uere not taken from the Of
fee. Our correspondent says the fellow is
pro-slavery, and intimates that he probably
destroys the papers. IT'S bad to be pro-sla-
very, It's wicked to forswear oneself and be-
tray an official trust, and it's mean to lie
about it and pretend to be an honest man.
If we knew the Post Masters name we would
publish it, and recommend him as overseer
to some southern plantation, a situation he is
much better qualified to fill than the one he
now occupies.
We shall send him a copy of this notice /;
and if any of our subscribers are acquainted
with David Dillon, we hope they will inform
him why his paper was not received. We
shall this week re-commence sending it, and
if the Post Master again refuses 10 perform
his official duties, we desire to know it.
Some of our subscribers in other places
have, perhaps, been served the same way by
their Post Masters.
