Political Anti-SlaVCry.

ST. CLAIRsvILLE, Jolly IS, 1919.
Ma. EDiToR In your introductory article
in The Bugle, if | mistake not your meaning,
you advance The opinion that the Anti-Slave-
ry Question should not be made a political
one. AS an advocate Of freedom, you are,
without doubt, in favor of free discussion. l
therefore beg leave TO differ from you a little
on this subject; not that ] am absolutely GER
tain that am right, and you wrong but in
order, by impartialIy viewing the question,
10 arrive at the most tenable conclusions re-
s~pecting it.
Now, what are we to understand by not
making IL a political question Are we to
understand by il, that we should not point
out the wicked injustice of supporting a slave
holding government, or the necessity of a po-
litical reform Are we 10 let government 90
on, extending and fostering lie curse of Sla-
very, without Tebuke, or an attempt 10 pre-
vent it, and combat the system only as a re-
ligious or moral evil ? Should we not set
forth 10 the people the disgrace and ruin that
Slavery is eniailing upon our country, and
the advantages that would result TO us polit-
ically from its abolition? ], for one, cannot
but believe i; 10 be The imperative duty of ev-
cry true patriot and philanthropist to endeavor
to o~verturn those unholy slave codes-to
cease 10 support, or-have any connexicn with
the base compromises in favor Of Slavery
TO establish in their stead a just and equita'
BILE basis Of government-laws which will
recognize the " inalienable right Of all men
to life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness.'
Surely this would be acting politically /; il
so, then let us combat it, both as a pOHiieal
and moral evil. If we do not do this, il APP
pears to me that we must fall back upon ''no-
gorernmeniism a." and this Disunionists are
not prepared TO do. The great majority Of
them are in favor Of civil gov~ernment-be'
lieve that it would be impossible, in our pres
ent condition, to get along peaceabIy without
The restraint of human laws.
That our cause must eventually triumph,
is very apparent. Truth is progressive. The
people will not long be satisfied with slavery
restriction merely. They must and wiN de-
mand its total eradication. And this cannot
be done without raising the standard and car
rying out the principle Of "No Union tUiih
Shareholders" Now the great mass Of the
people are welded to politics, and it is not to
be supposed that they will readily abandon
their Idol. So that, if Disunionists even now,
as a body, were in favor Of making it wholly
a moral question, (Which is by no means the
case,) il must eventually be made a political
one also. Besides, what possible inconsistent
cy can it be for those who believe human 60
vernment indispensable, 10 endeavor 10 give
Liberty to the captive" by c%easiDg 10 sup
port the constitution and laws which are the
cause Of his oppression, and by endeavoring
10 establish those which will guarantee 10
him his rights as a mani Yes I! ] repeat it,
let us diligently labor for the overthrow Of
Slavery, both morally and politically.
Yours very respectfully,

From the Easton Sentinel, Nov. 2

From the Easton Sentinel, Nov. ..
We are panied to learn that the heavy
rain of Monday, caused tremendous flood
in Hickory Run, a tributary of the Lehigh,
in Kidder township, Carbon county, which
caused the breaking of no less than three
dams, and the destruction of three saw-
mills; one belonging to J. e. S, Gould,
and two to Mahlon X. Taylor, Esq, and
several dwellings,. Nor is this the worst
of the catastrophe-sevrn lives were lost.
One, daughter of Mr.. Gould, and the en-
tire family OF Mr.. West, an enterprizing
blacksmith, who had settled there some
time since: whose dwelling was swept off,
and family, with the exception of himself,
drowned.
The Mauch Chunk Gazette furnishes us with
the following additional PARTICULARS
1t appears that on Hickory Run,a stream
which omptics into the Lehigh, about five
miles below White Haven, there was a
large dam, belonging to Mahlon X. lay
lOr, which covered about 20 acres Of ground
when full, and nsome places 40 feet deep.
During Monday night, in consequence Of
the heavy rains on that day, this dam filled
to overhowing, (the waste gates having been
neglected to be hosted, and the dam gave
way about midnight, sweeping everything
before it. Houses with their'sIeeping in,
mates, were dashed to atoms, and their in.
habltants, without moments warning, car
ried away by the mighty flood.
Nothing has been heard from below the
mouth of the creek; and scriousapprchen,
sious are entertained for several families
living just below, tn narrow gorge. They
must have perlshed.

with knowledge obtained since our disaster shaw.
ed what would have been the character of its er.
tension further west, 10 the Great Basin. A re-.
ference to the map will show you that this line
crosses the valley ofthe Del Norte al the northern
edge OF the New Mexican setlsments,a handsomc
ana fertile country whence branch road might
be thrown down the valley of the river, and thougb
the settlements, to Santa Fe. The road would on.
Ter the basin at the outhern end of the Mormon
settlements, and cross by way of Humboldt river

opens into lt,and up this lies an excellent way 10
apass near the head Of the lower Sacramento val.
ley Before reaching this pass, way diverging to
tne north affords very practicable valley road
into Oregon and, in my opinion, far the best b,
which you can reach that county.

Smith determined upon party to explore that
part OF the route which have last described with
view to report upon it at the ensuing session of

zsz,,a,z7;SA A benefcent God has blessed
N MEh.Xs the people of this Common
&sdBxgN wealth with health and abund-
anre. The fields have yielded bountiful
returns to the labors of the husbandman.
The enterprises OF the citizens in all
branches of industry have been appropria-
tely rewarded. Peace with all nations has
been vouchsafed to the country. Civil and
religious liberty, under the institutions of

happpnes, has been graciously dispensed
by an all wise and merciful Providence.
These blessings demand our gratitude to
Him, in whose hands are issues of life and
death-who controls and directs the affairs
of man-whose will is omnipotent to save
or destroy: and who mingles in the justice
of His judgments, the attributes of His
mercy-beforc whose power nations are
exalted or cast down, and they call upon US
as one people TO unite in solemn Thank
sgiving in humble supplication and praise
to the Almighty Author of every good and
perfect gift,ior these his underserved bless
ings to his weak and sinful creatures. They
require the profound reverence of penitent
hearts, sensible of the unworthiness of
humanity and of the enduring mercy of a
righteous God.
Believing the solemn truths deeply
impressed with the duty of deyout adora-
ton, and humble prayer in compliance
with a vencrated custom, and the desires of
