J. II. There is not poetry enough in his
article TO make it poetry.
Two communication came this week with
postage unpaid. II writers place 50 low a
value upon their productions as not to be
willing to pay five or ten cents for the trans
mission 10 us, they cannot expect US to es-
teen them very highly, even when we have
paid the postage on them>

Mr.. JoNEs:-
Sir, | received a line from You a few days
ago requesting me to pay up for the ANU
Slavery Bugle. | will just inform you that
! never was a subscriber TO your paper nor
would | suffer them TO be in my house with
my knowledge, So from these limitations
you may infer that if you get any thing from
me for such reasonable documents it will be
by resorling to the accused system of Amer
lean Jurisprudence, which your paper 50 stu
diously endeavorS to expose.
JAMES NESBITT.
Mr.. Jones.
The above is a specimen Of one kind Of
letters we receive, and we give publicity to
it for the following reason. A copy of the
Bugle was sent to the address of "James
Nesbitt' for nearly two years. IThO gave
us his name, we know not, but we do know
the paper was sent him, and we presume it
was taken from the office by some one, at
least until No. %, when it was discontinued.
We therefore desire that the person or per-
sons who have had the reading of the paper,
come forward and pay for it as we think they
are honestly bound to do. If there are any
others to whom bills are sent that did not
subscribe, we shall thank them for a gentle
manly intimation Of the same. a
n. B. James Nesbi;t speaks confidently
of the character of the Dugle, calls it trea-
sonable and declares that it endeavors to en-
pose the system of American jurisprudence;
how did he learn thisl Has he studied its
pagesl
WILSON HoBBs has written a letter 10 the
. Cincinnati Herald in which he attempts to
defend his conduct in excluding a scholar
from the benefits of the academy under his
superintendauce because she had African
blood in her veins. AS we gave the origin
al report of the affair in the Herald, and af-
paper, and subsequently a letter on the sub
iect from Valentine Nicholson, we think our
readers have a pretty good opportunity of UNI
Outstanding the merits of the question. We
therefore give only that part of his letter
which refers to the Bugle and reads thus
"The vile vituperation uttered by that croa-
king reptile, 'that charmed with the sound
itself hath made" fancies itself a 'Bugh.'
! shall not attempt to notice more, than to
inform his l~ordslIip that when my ''reptile
spirit wishes to crawl into public notice."
hope it may have more gtnHp!ion than to seek
the pages of such a filthy thumb paper, as
that which records his witty sayings.
FIGHTING ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLEs.-lt
is said that one of the articles in the propo
scd treaty with Mexico, provides that all flu
ture wars between that country and this shall
be fought upon Christian principles. If BY
this is meant that every soldier shall fight a
the founder Of Christianity would have hi
followers fight, we may anticipate a lastin,
peace if this article of the treaty be observed
We suspect his command to The soldier,
would differ somewhat from that Of Scott an
Taylor-instead of ordering them to tn
charge of death, it would be "Put up tn
swordr' "Love thy enemies ''Retur
. good for evil!'
THE LYNN PIONEER has experienced--nC
a change Of heart, we wish it had-but

organizationist, has given place to Georg
