From the Anti-slavery Bugle.
An Incident.

Many Of US have undoubtedly very made
quate idea as to the depths of ignorance which
prevail in the South in relation to the tue char
acter of slavery. The very fact of being born
IN its midst, fanliliarized with the sight of it
from infancy, and taught to consider it if an evil
at all, one which is necessary to the prosperity
and existence of a nation, must tend to deceive
and blind those who are thus situated Add to
this, the fact that abolition has been hated and
forbidden subject in the South, that in order to
keep anti.slayery sentiment from the people
mails have been robbed, books expurgated and
men lynched, and we have no difficulty in un.
derstanding why so many there, are living il
such ignorance in relation to their duty toward.
their fellow men. Hundreds have YET to give
the first thought to the subject, the first wore
has not yet been spoken in their hearing which
is calculated to awaken inquiry
An incident recently occurred which illus
trates what we have been saying A friend o
ours who was travelling on canal boat in Penn
syIvania, found among her fellow passengers
sociable and intelligent woman, whom, in thu
course of her conversation, she discovered to b.
a stakeholder We do not remember how many
slaves she had, but among them was girl whc

must indeed be terrible system of oppression

told him it wouldn't do that if he wanted the
girl he must take her away. This he concluded
to do, so let HIM have her for SIS month";
Our friend was so shocked that she made no re-
ply. for she was not accustomed to hear of Young
women being hired out to Iicentious men at so
much per month"; and that too by those of their
own sex who stand well in society and claim to
be of the FIRST responsibility The STAKEHOLDER
did not seem to be aware that she had said any
thing out Of the common way; the transaction
seemed to her an innocent one, Just as proper as
any dollar and cent trade. After the lapse of
some time, our friend who had occasion to use
pencil, borrowed one of young girl, daugh-
ter of this Sontherner. 1t was a handsome gold
pencil, and when she returned it, inquired its
cost "Ten dollars" said the child. "Ten
dollars" repeated our friend, turning to the
mother, "the cost Of t0o-thirds Of months
prostitution" The woman looked as though a
thunder bolt had fallen at her feet The cost
of t'cO-ttirds Of a months prostitution" These
words presented her actions in different light,
it opened to her a new store Of thought, it weak
ened, if it did not break, the spell in which
slavery had bound her She went to her home
wiser and we trust better woman. We hope
the lesson she received will never be forgotten
and that the emancipation of those she has
doomed to prostitution and wo, will be among
its first fruits.

TO BUSINESS MEN. As the business season is
about commencing, we would say to all concerned
that the FREEMAN has much larger and more gen
eral circulation than any other paper in the State and
offers rare opportunity to advertisers to reach the
public mind. Boston and New York merchants would
find it greatly to their advantage to avail themselves
of this medium of reaching the business men of our
State as there is scarcely town business location
where the Freeman is not regularly read

At present there are no wars in Central Africa
cept those carried on solely for the capture of slaves
to supply the markets of Tripoli and Constantine

philanthropy and antislavery feeling that Central AZ
RIGA should be continually the scene of war and blood
shed to satiate the ustsofa brutal race of men Turks
called allies of England, and said to be under English
protection. The balance of power is undoubtedly a
very fine thing, and very properly occupies the days
and nights of all our famous dplomatsts; neverbe-
less in this view of the case it is as wicked as wick
edness bethat is to say, if the right and prvi-
ege and utility of Great Britain protecting Turkey is
to be purchased by permitting Turkey and Turkish
subjects to carry eternay the slave traffic. in Tri-
poll and Central Africa But am so disguised in this
view of the case that shall leave it to your commit

Fourth District.

Mr. Peck, the democratic candidate for Congress IN
this district appears lacks from 1900 to l7OO votes
of an election while Mr.. Dillingham;. at the last cleo
ton. upon the first trial fell short but about 500 This
looks little as though the freemen of this district had
long enough been made to act the part of natural al
lies" to the most vile and nhumaD system OF oppres
sion that ever cursed any age or nation We look up
on this result as most signal rebuke of the reckless
and unprnciped course of the party in power, and as
an assurance that there is yet virtue and intelligence
enough among the people OF this district to place their
broad seal of condemnation upon the course OF that
marty. and those men, who have lent themselves to
perpetrate the grossest violations of the constitution
and trampe upon the dearest rights and interests OF
northern reemen, for the purpose Strengthening the
saveholdmg oligarchy at the South
We conure every freemen in this district VINO loves
liberty and hates slavery to take courage from TINS re-
suit and prepare himself for the use Of all honorable
means at the next trial to secure the election OF man
who will make the interests of free labor the rights OF
man, the claims of humanity and religion paramount
to the demands of party which has sold itself Tor
mess of potage to work the dark deeds of oppression
