ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE, SALEM, o.


teristics of a land of Free Labor, glowed
in the eloquent appeal of Gen. Wilson.
Turning thence to contemplate q land
cursed by Slavery, he showed that hope
lessness is the very first element of the
social condition of its laboring class
The Slave must never feel that he can
be any thing but Slave. He must Eve
hope that his children will enjoy the fruits
of his labors, nor even of their own
All he is, all he does, belong to another I;
his wife, his children, are anolher's.-
What can be expected of him but sloth,
stupidity, and eye service? How can a
country self cursed by such a system, be
expected to flourish ? Look all around
you upon a land blighted by Slavery and
Slave Labor. Go out of this city in any
direction, and see how the earth lies bar
rem and desolate beneath the footstep oil
the Slave. Compare the can Of mo-
raj, mental, and religious improvement
in Free and Slave States-how striking
the contrast ! And shall we, the Repre-
sentatives Of Freemen, permit the New
Territory just added TO u country 10 be
bias ted with such a system of Slavery
Dare we do it e! For one, said Gen. w
| will hear of no arrangements, viii
listen to no compromises, which surren'
der to Slavery one inch of soil on which
it is not now established by law. | vii
not give it one millionth part of an incl
for any consideration whatever. Tall
not to me of the horrors Of disunion-
will not consent TO extend Slavery Il
save the Earth from destruction, the Uni
verse itself from dissolution. Above al
parties, all policy, all dangers even,
stand for the preservation of Free Sol
and Freedom.

The Presidential Election.

There were 2,S74,7l2 votes cast in the
United States at the late Presidential cleo
ton, not counting the vote of North Carroll
ma, whose Legislature elects the state cleo
tors. OF these,
Taylor received in the free Staes, 925'467

Cass received in the free States, Sl0,560

Van Buren received in free States, 29I ,039

Each of the leading candidates received
the electoral vote of fifteen States.
Taylor received the vote of free States, 9
the vote of slave States, 6
Cass received the vote of free States, 8
" the vote of slave States, 7
The nine free States which cast their vote
for Taylor, gave 81 electoral votes; the six
slave States gave &C votes. The eight free
States which voted for Cass, gave ~ votes;
the seven slave States So votes.
Electoral vote of free States l66

The total number of votes cast in the free
States was 2.O27 .OG6, this, divided by 100
the number of their electoral votes-gives, in
round numbers one %elector to each 1895
voters. The total number of votes cast in the
slave States was 9O7 ,6i6, allowing TO North
Carolina co 900 votes divide this by l2l-
the number of their electoral votes-and we
shall find there is one elector to each 1901
southern voters!
Had the ratio of actua! representation been
the same in the northern as in the southern
States, the North would have had go cleo
tors but it was not, hence 759.496 northern
voters were virtually Observation-Disclosures
as great an array as the entire number o
southern voters. Why this difference, ant
by what authority does it exist? The hu
man property of the South, her three million
of slaves are counted in the apportioumen
of representatives under the constitutions
phrase "three ffths of all other persons."-
1t is by virtue of the Constitution, by the re
quirement of one of the religiously observe
compromises that 76O, 900 northern voter
are DISTINGUISHED in fact, while they retain i
form the right to vote. Slavery wills it, tn
Constitution provides for it, the permananc
of the Union requires it, and men of Polilici
eminence, and of religious reputation hav
pronounced it moral treason to say augf
against it.

ANOTHER Blow AGAINST SLAvERY.-A year
or more since, the British government sent
an agent to Australia TO try whether the soil
of that country was adapted to the c%ul'iva-
ton Of cotton. The experiment was tried
with American seed, and succeeded to admi-
ration. 1t is predicted that in a few years
Great Britain will procure cotton for herspin-
dies from her colonies, and no longer be de-
pendent upon the Shareholders for a supply.
Alas for the cotton-raising South!

The Democracy and Whiggery of Fairfield

GRAHAM's March No. has arrived in good
season, and is a fair specimen of the way he
gets up his monthly. 1t contains four en-
cravings, among which is a very fine one of
"Christ weeping over jerusalem" and an
ordinary one Of Gen. Taylor's plantation. In
the description of the latter, we are told the
view embraces, among other points of inter-
est " the cottages Of the labOrerS," which we
understand to mean the quarters Of his SLAVES,
but then as cottages sound much p%rettier and
more poetical than quarters, and laborers more
democratic than slaves, the former express
sion is used. The whipping post is in the
back ground, entirely out Of sight.
So far as we are able to Judge from a
somewhat hasty perusal of a portion of the
contents, their literary character is fully upon
a par with that of the contributions to the
other numbers for this year.

Youthful Perseverance.

A lad about thirteen years of age arrived al
this city by the cars night before last. His sto.
ry, though brief, is an interesting one, and exhi-
bits strength of close-clinging affection, which
it is a pleasure to record. His mother and sis
ter left Ireland about year ago for America,
and the boy being then bound apprentice, was
not permitted TO accompany them, although he
desired 10 do so. Some eight months after their
departure, the little fellow, without penny in
his pocket, ran away from his master, walked to
Dublin city, told his story to the captain Of an
American ship, and tearlully solicited his aid in
taking him to his mother. The captain told
him that the United States was a very large
country, and should he get there might not find
the object Of his search; but the little "JaPhet'
was determined to "try" and finally got the
captains consent TO take him across the ocean
in the capacity Of second cook.
The vessel arrived at New York, and the lit
tie fellow, all alone, searched the great meropo-
lis throughout-inquring Of the Irish families
of the Whereabouts of his mother, but to no pur-
pose--no one knew her. During this search,
which continued more than week, the little fell
low met his current expenses by doing chores
in the streets, such as holding horses, &c.-ior
a lad of that kind could not be dishonest
Failing in New York, he worked his passage

M(isrcIlonGolls.


! About twenty years ago, when there we're bu
few settlements in the northern part Of Ohio
an Inherent preacher Of the Methodist Society
/ by the name Of Johnson, was employed to ira.
vel on the extensive circuit in thar section Of the
country. Johnson was man somewhat above
the middle stature, with brawuy shoulders, and
endowed with great muscular strength, and a
degree Of courage and sell-possession equal 10
any emergency, qualities which admirably it
ted him for conflict with the rude and bosierous
elements pervadng the society by which he
was surrounded. In his manner he was aiIec-
uonate, but faithful in what he considered his
duty. without regard to consequences. The
| fearlessaess with which he assaied the strong
holds of depravIy and licenIiousness, had the
effect Of drawing down upon his head the indig-
nation Of acerlain class Of characters, who, de.
termined to get rid of him, insuted and annoy
ed him in various ways, but through his cool
ness and shrewGness, not only were their plans
defeated, but not unlreQuently their wicked de-
vices we're made to recoi upon their own heads.
After every expedienI had signally failed, it
was resolved as lastreson to cause the preach
er to be wayIaid and severely beaten; with the
assurance that he would decamp Immediately,
or the course of treatment was to be followed
up until the desired effect should be produced.
As the instrument of their vengeance, they were
induced to select bully by the name of Ken
nedy, whe had the reputation of being the most
athletic man in the country, and who for stlp-
ulaIed reward undertook the disgracelul busi-
ness.
One time as the clergyman was riding on
horseback. he was met in an unirequented spot
| by the ruiian who was also on horseback Ken.
nedy salutcd him with mock respect and infor-
med him that he intended to give him sound
drubbing.
'Ah! butm dear sir, you had better 60 about
your business. If you try it you will be sure
TO get the worst of the bargain
There's liue fear of that replied Kennedy,
'lhave basted stronger men than you before TO-.
day. So saying he aimed blow with his fist
at the preachers head, intending to knock him
off his horse, but missing, received one in re-.
turn which brought him instantly TO the ground
| The preacher then dismounted and picking up
his PROSTATE and chop-laen adversary, threw
him over an adjoining fence.
The bully finding that he had got hold Of the
wrong customer, wisely concluded upon a ces-
sation of hoStilites, and looking over the fence
he cried ont as the preacher stood patiently wal
ting another attack:
Il say, Mister, will you be good enough to
throw my horse over after meP
Johnson was thereafter permitted TO ride and
preach without any farther moestalion.
