Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-06-18

aPplauded, and rewarded by the gift of civil
office, that negro chieltain is far more worthy
Of being made President Of the United States
than is General Zachary Taylor.
GRAHAM's MONTHLY for July is before US.
We SEQ in one Of its embellishments-and in
the promise Of others of a similar character
q mournful evidence Of the popularity of the
Mexican war. That man, who has done more
TO butcher the Mexicans than any other lea
der OF the American invaders, who more than
any other has brought blighting, and woe, and
desolaiion into the families Of our sister Re-
public, who has overthrown the home affairs
OF thousands and ground their hearth-stones
to powder; tha! man is considered sufficient
)y worthy to have his likeness form the prin-
cipal establishment of a popular Magazine.
We lock upon it with the same kind of in
terest with which we would view the por-
trait OF l,aftte, the Barataria pirate; not how
ever that we believe the latter was the doer
OF so great Iniqui'y as the former. Laftto

a Stakeholder, he was never SO degraded as
to fight for the extension Of slavery. Taylor
has done both and the time will come when
the characters Of these men, stripped of all
the adventurous circumstances which society
has thrown around them, will be viewed not
according to the estimation which the world
now places upon them, but as clear-sighted
Truth and stern Justice demands they should
be regarded.
With the exception above noted, we very
much like tho July No. SO far as we have
read it. 1t contains its usual variety, furnish

ester and other Of its contributors.
BR~ANpING.-Some time since it was stated
,ha, a slave boy at Cape Girardeau, MisSou-
il, had been branded on the face with the
words "a slave for life" An editor at ST.
Louis having doubt d the story, a correspon-
dent Of the Revei IL, writing from Cape Gil
rlrdeau, clinches 1t as follows:
IL the editor wants proof of it, if he comes
down here he can see the boy, the iend who
did the damnable deed, and the man that
owns the boy and, if necessary, can have
their names in full. They both live here ;
the man who did it is an EngHsAman! 1t
wunld seem that, although they were willing
The act should be done still they do not like
the public To know it, but dare not deny it;
and if they do not look sharp more will ap-
pear on the subject. The owner of the hoy
is a man of wealth, and all are surprised that
lie would have such an act done, as he has
been looked upon hitherto as a man Of good
feelings, and a good master and good ciii-
zen.
The case referred to in the above paragraph
has been going the rounds of the papers, ac-
companied by an expression of considerable
indignation on tie part of various editors
The fact that the branding was done by an
'EngHShman," has Embossed their tongues
and given them a warrant for denouncing the
act as a damnable deed, and the actor as a
fend yet it seems that neither the man who
used the branding iron, nor the one who
claims the boy are willing to have the fact
made public. Not so, however, in the case
of Mr.. Micajah Kicks, of Nash County, n.
c., who, in the Raleigh 'Standard" of July
18Th, 1888, thus uhblushingly proclaims his
own villany, and acknowledges himself a We
ry Nero in cruelty.

The Indignation that should have been
poured out upon Mr.. Micajah Kicks some
nine years since, for the branding on the face
Of a negro ,co"'an, and upon the respectable
editor of that respectable paper, the Standard,
for yielding to the paltry inducement of a
few dollars, for publishing the fact in his pa
per as a means TO facilitate her recapture
while escaping from bondage, appears to
have been bottled up and reserved for the
''EngLSkmon" who branded a boy! This is
perhaps owing to a reduction to individual
application Of the motto sour Country, right
or wrong 1t will do TO condemn an "En-
gAishman" for an act of atrocity, but not an
American; for it is our eounhymen, as we'll
as "Our Country, right or wrong"
While we utterly abhor a fend- like spirit,
whether manifested by an Englisbman or an
American, we have no respect for that indig-
nation which passes over the crimes of the
latter to vent its national hatred upon the
misdeeds Of the former.
NEGRO STAMPEDE.-We learn that a SIAM
pede occurred among the negroes at and near
Maysviile, a few days ago. Five or six of
the number belonged TO a prominent and in
%flnential member of The Northern Methodist
