HoH HENRY CLAY-His .4rrioal aud Recep-
ton at 81. Louis. The Hon. Henry Clay, who
has been sojourning in New Orleans during the
winter, arrived at St. Louis on the 3rd INST,
where he will remain short time to attend to
some private business. The following graphic
account of his reception We take from the Eve
uing Gazette.
At O'Clock this morning, the sound OF can
non down the river gave intlmation OF the APP
proach OF Henry Clay to the city of st. Louis.
The rGVerbcratiOns of the steamers gun, being
repeated every few minutes, brought an i'm
mense crowd 20 the evee-- every one anxious
to have the first look at the great Statesman
of the West" Far down by Duncan's island
could be dlscerned the towering smoke Of steam
engines the waving of the "stnpes and stars, -
and the flashing of the booming gun. 1t was
soon discovered that two steamers were dashed
together, mingling their smoke and their ban
ners. They were that elegant steamer, the
Bulletin, from New Orleans, which received
Mr.. Clay as passenger at the city of Vcks-
burg, and the Mail, from Cincinnati the latter
all alive with passengers.
As those "twain in one" approached the le-
wee they gracefully swung apart, and the Bul.
letin came alongside the Harry Of the West at
the foot Of Washington avenue. The crowd
at this moment on the levee and on the hurri.
cane decks of the numerous steamers in our
harbor, was immense. We have no data for al
accurate computation Of its numbers.
Henry Clay (the man TO whom eulogy can
add no fame nor the prefix Of title any new
honor) soon passed to the deck of the Harry o
the West and from thence stepped into the
dense and cheering mass of citizens which
blackeued all the levec. With much difficulty
he reached aud took temporary refuge from
the press Of popular enthusiasm in the store OF
the Messls. Walsh, corner of Washington ave-
nue. and Water st.
1t was generally understood throughout our
city that Mr.. Clay had most earnestly entreat-
ed and confidently expected that no public
pomp should mark his advent into st. Lonis
In consideration to the delicacy of such feel
ings, no answering cannon from the levee re-
sponded to the gun of the Bulletin, nor was
flag seen waving from the steamers in the har-
Dor or the public houses of the city. What fu
ture steps of public respect to the Statesman
of the West" will be taken by the public au.
thorties, we know not, but presume that St
Louis will do all that admiration and gratitude
TO man whose life is part and parcel of his
country's history, now in private life, may de-
mand.
Mr. Clay S step was elastic and vigorous, hi.
form as erect as an arrow; but his hair, from
his forehead to the back of the crown, showed
that time had invaded that noble form, anc
rolled his wasting winters over head whose
every thought through long life has been his
country's.

Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-08-28
An Appeal.

The Anti-Slavery Burle has commenced
Its second volume, and now numbers more
than 1900 subscribers, averaging 100 for eve
ry month it has been published. The first wear
OF its existence it was sustained in part bv
the payments of subscribers, and the def
cheney was made up by contributions princi-
pally from some five or six individuals. It
must, however, be obvious to all that in or
der to push forward the Anti-Slavery cause,
all the contributions that can be obtained
must hereafter be used to pay the expenses
Of lecturing agents, and that the Bugle must
be sustained by other means than by usinr
a single dollar of those contributions. Such
arrangements have therefore been made. and
hereafter no donations will be used to sustain
the Bugle, but they will all be applied to the
support Of agents.
Three hundred more subscribers will be re-
quired to make the subscription list meet the
expenses of its publication. Double this
number can be obtained in three weeks time
II the readers of the Bugle will perform their
duty-a duty which they should by no means
neglect. The entire expense of publishing
the paper, that is not borne by the subscri-
bers, falls upon one individual who is now
paying between $50 and $40 per month out
of his own pocket to sustain the paper
How long do the abolitionists of the West
wish this individual to incur this monthly
expense to sustain the Bugle, and keep lectur-
ing agents in the field! How many of you
understand that you can do something to aid
the paper besides paying for The one which
you receive, by getting others to take it 3
Almost every day | am told by readers of
the Bugle, that they could get some sub
scrlbers for it, but as they were not named as
agents, they did not know that it was ex-
pected that they should NEEDLE in this
matter
Now, my dear friends, each one of you
who reads the Bugle, is authorized and re-
quested to get all the subscribers you can
(who, you suppose, will pay for it within
the year, and send on their names to the pub
fishers. have this proposition to make
that is, for each and all of you to go to work
for this cause, and obtain a subscriber with
in one week from the time this reaches you,
and send on his or her name, and then ex-
anime the state of your w feelings, and see
if you are not happier for having performed
this small amount of anli-sltvery labor.
And again, will not each one of you who
can afford to pay for a second copy OF the
paper, have it sent at your expense to some
friend whom you wish to convert!
Respectfully, SAML. BROOKE.

A Reply.

A question has been asked us in regard 10
the consistency Of Disunionists using the
Post Office and paying taxes.
We suppose it is not wrong, or a violation
of any principle the Disunionists have adopt.
ed, to countenance, sustain or aid bad men
or bad organizations in the performance of
good works. If our interrogation were drown
ing, we would unite with the vilest and
meanest of men to save him from a waterv
grave. 1t he were kidnapped by an Alge-
rinc, we would cooperate with the govern
ment for his rescue. We would sustain the
State Legislature, and aid her if we could,
in erasing the Black Laws from the statute
book of Ohio. We would cooperate with
lire companies TO save aburning town, would
associate with bad men to repair bridres.
build roads, dig canals, establish mail routes,
public libraries and schools; and in DOING
these things we cannot see that we should
lmblbe pollution from the contact. We will
not mite with them in doing evil, we will

never denied that he meant what he said.
lie denies however that this is the highest
eulogy, while the Western Society declares,
that considering the circumstances under
which il was written, it is. lie has never
denied that he wanted General Taylor pro-
tected in the position he then occupied, but
tries TO extenuate the wickedness by alleg-
ing he was on Texan territory. Why then
should the assertion Of DR.. Bailey be quoted,
when there is nothing in his explanation of
his sword of explanation" to show that he
ana not mean to be understood as the Yves
Tern Society understood him, except this ma
ked a9sertionl-but on the other hand. the
hrst Impression is confirmed by his article.
I. c. that he wanted them defended in their
position,-and that position was one of ar-
gressive warfare, they were engaged in a ma
raudlng expedition. But we will not multi
ply words about the Dr's. position, as we
presume it is pretty well understood by those
readers OF our paper who have not substitute
ed prejudice for reason.
Our friends charge of dishonesty is but a
repetition of that made against us in the col
ums of the Bugle a few weeks since by DR..
Bailey himself.

Briggs to every honest member of the Lib
crty party. What temporising have we there?
What betrayal of the interests of the slave,
Does Liberty paIty's candidate think that
preaching anti-slavery every day ofthe week,
would be having too much to do with this
''nigger business" and so pledge himself to
the members Of the Central State Commit

pers, that he will refrain from opening his
mouth for the dumb on the Sabbath day
which is above all others, the great hearing
day of the people? That day, in which no
man, however religious or just, refuses 10
drag his sheep from the pit into which it has
fallen, is a day in which Samuel Lewis re-
fuses to speak in behalf Of the petishing-

~ A greatnistake. Slavery existed with
out law, before law, and in some cases in
spite of law. Our friend Heaton's premises
being false, the conclusions based on them
are of course worth nothing. Legislation
has power to repeal laws, but not to abolish
slavery. The simple preaching of truth can
alone do that.
(2) What our friend means here is
more than we Can divine. The Disunionists
have never, to our knowledge, taken the
ground that it would be unconstitutional to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia.
(3) Does Jacob Heaton mean to say that
Liberty party is mathematical because it did
not choose to deliver the slave by the sword
by drcnching thu land with human blood .
He evidently says so, but what are the facts2
Who are the advocates of peaceful measures!
Who escllews the sword! and who uses ia
Liberty party, or the Disunionists! The Dis
unionists certainly do not. Joshua Leavitt,
one of the leaders of Liberty party saws that
he wishes 1t distinctly understood, that their
use Of the ballot-boX leads to the use of the
cutridge-Jor. How else would political alb
olitionism enforce the laws il makes. This
is the only power upon which politics relies
for an enforcement Of its decree; throw that
away, and it has no power.
But this is not the ground on which the
Dlsunionists object to the ballot-box aboli-
tlonism Of Liberty party, for many of them
are themselves advocates of brute force under
certain circumstances, but they object main
ly, because that in order to bring its political
abolitionism to bear upon pro-slavery laws,
its supporters must first swear, or consent to
do, if required, certain actions which are
themselves pro-slavery, and criminal for a
man to do, or prOmiSc to do. We never

An IMPORTANT SCENE IN Tnr DRAMA.

An IMPORTANT SCENE IN THE DRAMA.
FRIENDS EDIroRs The Rev. Samuel
Lewis preached in the NJ. Il. Church in
gainesville, June 9TH, 1916, from which
house abolitionists are excluded, and did not
mention the word slave in his DISCOURSE
II was therefore said that Mr.. Lewis was
gagged. But the mex day, Monday the sth,
he explained away the idea of his being
gagged by the following statement; He
said when he received the nomination for
Governor, he made a promise that he would
not speak on the subject of slavery on the
Sabbath. This was, as he said, done that
he might not be accused of preaching politics
on the Lords day but said that after the
election was over he would preach abolition
on Sunday.
Mr.. Lewis IS a local preacher in the NJ. +.
Church, belongs to the Ohio Annual Confe-
renee, and claims 10 be called Of God to
preach the gospel-which is glad tidings Of
great Joy. But he don't like to preach
against the sin of slavery on the Sabbath,
during a political campaign, for fear Of what
Why, that he would lose votes! Look at
his position, yo political abolitionists, and
say will you support a candidate for Cover
nor, who, for fear Of being rcyiled, will shrink
from doing his duty! If slavery is a sin six
days in the week, is it not a curse seven .
Who says no?

70 the EIitors of the .7nf-SHrery BusLe:
A few years ago the band Of Abolitionists
stood before the American people in the char
actcr of united, bold aud jealous reformers,
making vigorous assaults upon the insiitn-
ton of Slavery. All true friends of God and
man were united hand to hand, and heart to
heart, battling at the iron gate of the citadel
Of despotism, their voices, and Bugie notes
cheering each other onward in their arduous
struggle with the monster that feeds on the
bodies and souls of men-taking the highest
stand on the greatest moral question that ev-
er agitated this or any other country-putting
forth their declaration that it was a duty to
do all in our power, by moral suasion and
consistent political action, for the dclivorance
of the bondmln.
Various and multiplied were the difficult
tics we had to encounter, by the wayside
of this reform, looming up before US both in
Church and State.
In our Investigations, some Of the far-see-
ing patriots and phiIanthropists urged upon
US lit utCtoSllO VI remembering AHC saw at
the bdllot-boX-that it was not enough that
we had our syinpathies excited for the crush
ed and bleeding slave in our Anti-Slavery
meetings, but that "consistcnt political ac-
ton" required of us more than this. We
commended with ali the arguments at our COM
mand, until we were driven from the position
then occupied.
We saw that slavery was established by
law; the laws were framed by State and Ma
tional legislatures. The abolition of Slave
ny was nothing more nor less than the repeal
of those laws. a. If they were ever repeal
ed the work must be done by the members of
these Legislatures members who were oppo-
sed to the abolition o: slavery would not abol-
ish it. 1t would only be done by those who
were in favor of the measure. This we
thought SO plain that it seemed strange that
there thould be any necessity for stating it.
The Congress of the United States enact
ed the slave laws of the District of Column
bia, by special provision, as the first act of the
nation after taking possession Of the District
declaring by resolution that the old slave
laws of Maryland and Virginia should con-
tinue in force until Congress should other
wise direct. They have added enactments
giving facilities to the domestic slave trade
which did not exist but by authority of Con-
gress. They have fostered and protected the
slave trade between the states, which is the
very lilo's blood of the entire system. These
and many more have been enacted aud sus-
tanned in direct violation of the letter and
spirit Of the Constitution. Congress is cloth
ed with power for abulishing slavery in the
District Of Columbia, and the slave trade

told him they wanted such man the plaintiff to act
their agent for the sale OF hay in New York After this
interview another was had between the parties and

to ship to this city from 100 TO 900 tons of hay before
