RutHlnly Outrage.

As Frederick Douglass was quietly sitting
in the car, awaiting The starting Of the train
for Harrisburg, on Saturday morning, two
other passengers, a man and n woNan enter
ejr aud the man stopping at his seat, said to
him in a roagh voice, Get up there and let
this lady take HAT seat"
81 do not feel bound TO give up my seat 10
any ouc, gentleman or lady. unless asked in
ply Of Mr.. Douglass.
"Don't You mean II Give il upl"
mo, Sir, no! unless | am properly request
ed to Do it,
At this, the ron,eclly dressed rufian seized
Mr.. ID. by the collar, and as no resistance
was offered, dragged him from his seat.
"Sir,' said Mr.. d., rising with 4 calm
dignity and turning to his assailant, 81 am
10 fighting character. but | must say 10 you,
that You are a bully"
81 am no bully was the angry reply.
AYES Sir" retained Mr.. ID. with empha-
sis, 81 repeat it, you are a duHy,' and then
turned from hun and walked into another car
tof a seat.
We learn that the author Of Ibis outrage
was John A. Fisher, Esq, of Harrisburg, and
we suppose that he deems himself a gentle
man, but our readers can Judge for themselves
how much claim he has TO the name. For
our part we do not believe a drunken scaven-
ger or chimney sweep can be found in South
wark, who would be guilty Of an act so das-
tardly. But ii needs no comment. The sim
pie fact speaks a worse condemnation Of the
man than any denunciation Of ours. Thus
this wicked prejudice against the colored man
makes rufiians Of men.-Pa. Freeman.

from the fact-we have on good authority
that this person used a good deal Of e%yertion

Mexico not Taken.

As we issued no paper last week we were
spared the trouble Of announcing that Gene
raj Scott and The American army had taken
possession Of the city of Mexico-the Amer
leans loosing three hundred men in the attack.
and OF course slaughtering Mexicans innu-
merable. The last advices contradict this
whole story; and the American people have
thus long been g~uiltless Of an act, which If
more easy of accomplishment, would be more
damnable in its character, and perhaps fully
as disastrous in its results to the temporary
%victors, as was the capture of Moscow by
the French troops to the fortunes of Napole-
on.

counted him as a brute, or with keen satire
exposed the hollow pretensions Of American
religionists, If the sense of justice was not
dead within them, they must have hung their
heads for very shame. And how different
did Garrison appear TO those whose religious
leaders had taught them to regard him as a
roaring lion, going about seeking whom he
might devour. His very appearance did much
to remove the prejudice against him and
when they heard him with deeply impressive
language advocating the cause of that Christ
whom the churches Of this land continually
cruelty, giving glory to God in the highest,
and laboTing to establish peace on earth and
promote good will among men, they fit that
they had been shamefully deceived by priest
ly pretenders, and church infdels in high pla-
ces. Did the people but dare to hear and
dispassionately judge for themselves, they
would brand their own religious teachers as
liars and inidels, rather than the man who
for long, long years has been faithfully pro-
claiming glad tidings Of great joy unto all
men, deliverance to the captive, and the OPEN
Ing OF the prison doors to them that are bound.
II will be seen by the report of the late Ex.
Com. that the Society is more in debt than
1t should be, aud it was hoped that at the An
nual Meeting sufficient funds would be rais-
ed to enable it to meet its present liabilities.
and furnish it with means TO sustain its ope-
rations through the coming year. This how
ever was not the case. A committee was
appointed to take up a collection and receive
pledges; but a mass meeting, such as the
anniversary was, is not the place to do it
and the Elk. Committee there appointed will
have to depend very much upon private, in
dividual eXertion for the funds they nav
need. The Secretary has not reported The
amount contributed at the meeting, and 70
only a partial return has been made to the
Treasurer, we are unable to state how much
was obtained.
In our notice of the meeting we must not
omit 10 mention the good service done the
cause of Humanity by the members of the
Antl-Slavery choir in attendance, whose
sweet music charmed the hearts of the audi
ence as they plead the cause of the slave
The meeting, take it all in all, was a grand
and a glorious demonstration one which
will have a great influence upon public senii-
ment, and is an evidence of the deep hold
which anti-slavcry principles has taken upon
the public mind. And although but small
proportion of those assembled at New Lyme
were Disunionists, yet the awakening of the
public sympathy, and the %arousing ofthe pub
lie conscience which such a gathering indi- I.

couragement to those who are endeavoring to
arouse this nation from its death-like sleep.

Notice of Meetings.

A mistake occurred in the day of the month
in our notice of meetings, which is now cor
rected, and a change, which was found to
be indispensable, has been made in the APP
Pointments. AS more meetings had been no.
tilted than our friends could possibly attend,
it was thought necessary to drop the one APP
pointed at Marlboro. Those persons in that
neighborhood who are anxious to hear, can
most Of them probably go TO Ravenna or
come to Salem.

The extent, variety, and beauty of the ar
ticles offered for sale far exceeded our expec-
%tations. We did not suppose that the first
general effort Of the kind in the West would
be attended with such happy results. Nor
would it have been, had not Anti-Slavery
been made a household companion, one of
the ireside circle, to be remembered when
strangers would be forgotten. There were
useful and fancy articles in great abundance,
and of great taste and beauty. There too

ing it TO the Boston Bazaar. There must
have been at least from ten to twelve hundred
dollars worth of articles exposed for sale,
and to collect and manufacture that amount
required considerable anti-slavery effort, and
shows what the women of the West can do,
and will do when duty demands. The sales
were however far less than many anticipa-
ted. Owing to the prejudice of few against
an admission fee, the doors were thrown
open to all, and the consequence was, the
room was SO densely crowded, that many
who wished to purchase could not possibly
get near the tables which were surrounded in
great part by those whose sole object seem
ed to be to xamine without buying. Many
articles were injured in this way, and quite a
number stolen by rowdies whose insulting
behavior was better suited to the grog shop
than the Fair room, Had the Committee
charged a shilling admission fee, some at
least would have been excluded whose alb
sence would have been desirable, a better op-
portunity would have been afforded those
who wished to purchase, there would have
been less pilfering Of articles, less injury
from handling them, and probably several
hundred dollars more realized for the Socie-

time to dispose of all the business that it was
desirable should be brought before it.. One

not read, and several resolutions which the
Business Committee designed reporting,
were not presented. The tent had to be ia:
ken down at a certain hour, and all unfnish-

matter Of necessity, indefinitely postponed.

NEWS FROM THE ARMY

We publish the news from the Picaynne To-
day, because " it comes in such questionable
shape" that we must pay il respects. We
put not particle of faith in the whole story
however. for we believe that Santa Anna is, at
this present writing, AT San Luis Poios We do
not believe that he has marched 80. 90, or even
$4,000 (he numbers varousIy stated by different
aulhorties) men across the desert to within three
or four days travel of Salto We think that he
is preparing his forces TO dispute The passage of
onr troops to Mexico or Vera Cruz. via Tampico.
1t is doing very little credit to his military genius
to suppose he would defend an almost impossible
barrier, while he left undefended the broad high
ways that lead direct to The destruction of his
government. and the heart of his naticn.
