The existence of Domestic Slavery in the
United States. is a source OF deep morliica-
ton to every friend Of Freedom in the old
world. II is cast in their teeth ''in season and
out of season." by those who would have the
aroused subjects OF crowned heads believe
that our government is Hypocrisy embodied.
To avoid this ''cause of offence to their
brethren, the French Provisional Government
wisely abolished Slavery in all the colonies
Of France upon the very first day of their ac-
cession to power.
The Colored and Mulatto citizens of Paris
among whom is classed the celebrated Du-
mas-rejoicing in this act of justice, desig-
mated a deputation to address the Provisional
Government. They were replied to by NJ.
Cremieaux, one of the new Cabinet, in The
following beautiful address:
"Fellow citizens, friends, brothers-I am

WESTERN ANTI-SLAVERY FAIR.

Freedom is not yet won the clank OF the
bondman's letters has not yet ceased-Amer-
lean wonen are still chatteliZed and imbrutsd.
The blightIng influence that slavery has e.
tended over the South and over the r,oyth,
still exists-the Church is not yet purified of
its i%niquity, nor the State redeemed from its
degradation. We therefore, friends Of the
Slave, appeal 10 you again-Ve appeal to

SHAMEFUL CONSTRUCTIVE learn
from the Cleveland Esprit of Freedom"
that at a meeting called in that city to cele-
brate the revolution in France, individuals
from all nations and people were placed up
on its committees-so far as that city could
furnish them-except those who represent
the African in this land. A motion was
made to appoint a colored man, but the NEE
ting negativcd 1.-THE citizens of Cleveland
were unwilling that colored men should thus
publicly rejoice at the progress of liberty,
and would doubtless be glad to clteck, if
possible, the sympathy for the Right which
God has caused to flow like a well spring
from their hearts. What business has the
colored man to rejoice in human progress and
the spread of human haPpinessl None! if
his white oPpressor is to be believed.

6T-A former subscriber, whose name and
residence we suppress in mercy to himself,
after receiving three more Nos. Of the Bugle
than he had paid for, sent us word to stop his
paper, and taxed US five cents on his mes
sage. AS we are not unfrequentIy thus trea-
ted by those who discontinue, we concluded
to Try the effect Of a gentle rebuke, which we
accordingly administered by limiting that if
he was not willing to pay for the papers he
had received, we should have been glad had
he felt free to pay The postage on his letter.
The result was the following epistle; and we
could wish that all others who have fallen
into the same neglect would make as prompt
reperation, though we should more admire a
better spirit.

N-THE BUGLE is informed that the liv-
ery we spoke of Major Larimer and Benton
Kerr wearing, in honor of Henry Clay, was
ding him round town.ZThe carriage driver
was fixed up in a regular livery, the full
badge of aristocratic servitude. The Major
is sin good and regular standing in the Lib
erty party so far as we know. The recep'
ton OF Mr.. Clay was looked upon as merely
a tribute to his age and great talent, and a
compliment for some vote he had given IN
favor Of Pennsylvania interests; and so espe-
cial pains were taken 10 keep 1t from wear
inp a party aspect. One marshal was a Lib
eriy man, one a Democrat, and the other a
Wing. Every member OF the Liberty par,
ty; so far as we know, heartily dlsaPProVed
the Majors act; yet we are very certain he
had no intention to lend any sanction 10 Mr..
Claws slaveholding, by bonorlng him as a
statesman. But about this kissing business.
The Bugle, and every one else is scoldlng
the ladies for kissing Mr.. Clay, and just for
contention we shall take their part. A lady
has a right to kiss any body she %pleases, and
its nobody's business but her husbands, and
not much of his either, if he thinks so. So
We retract all we have said against the ladies
kissing Mr.. Clay.
The above is from the Pittsburgh "Satur-
day Visiter," and is in reply to a question
we put to that'paper. We are sorry that Mrs.
Swisshelm ever feels disposed to retract
aught she has said "just for conte%ntion."-
VIII not such an avowal have a tendency to
make tho readers of the ViSitsr careless about
examining the principles its sdito~rsdYsoates'

REVOLUTION.
" Anger is Madness said the sage of old;
And It's with nations as it is with man;
Their storms of passion scatter ills untold
Thus Ills and has been, since the world
began.
Change, to be blessed, must be calm and
clear,
Thoughtful and pure, %sinless, and sound Of
mind,
Else power unclaimed and change are things
Of fear
Let not the struggling TO this truth be
blind.

We are aware that by these remarks we
lay ourselves open to the battery Of her wit,
but if they do aughi to prevent her from con-
frming the too prevalent idea that women
talk only for talks sako-'just for conten-
tion," and not for the establishment of truth
and the growth of righteous principles, we
shall be satisfied.
We felt that the women who crowded 10

were glad that Mrs. Swisshelm administer
ed it. The sentiments she has r~etracted

full of truth and beauty that We should be

Of a woman who had escaped from kentucky,
white, with blue eyes and yellow hair. Yet

vent the sale Of tchite women in his State,

to kiss him, the image OF that woman with
her infant in her arms-her yellow hair tan-
gled on her shoulders-her fair face bronZed

terror as she fed from the Land of Chival-

mother or her child. We could not have
touched his hand with respect, knowing that
it has not been stretched out 10 save the thou
sands Of women who have been whipped by
