From the Christian
FugItiveS from Slavery.

We had the pleasure, a few evenings
since, of listening To the interesting reci-
tal of the escape of Two Georgia Slaves,
William and Ellen Crafts, from the pris-
on house of bondage. They were man
and wife but, owned by different mas
,ers, they knew not how soon the hour of
their separation might come. They saw
in the workings of that abominable sys-
TEN which had degraded them 10 the
level Of brutes, though possessed of intel
ligence equal, if not superior, 10 those
who claimed the ownership of their bod
les, by what a frail and uncertain tenure
they held that dearest of all relationship,
that of husband and wife; and the agony
of the thought that cupidity or lust might
divide them from each Other at a no
ment's notice gavc them The resolution 10
peril all, in one bold cndeavor to secure
the precious boon of freedom. 1t was an
enterprise fraught with dangers and diff
fculties, from its commencement to its
close. But that intuilive perception OF
the blessings of 4 condition Of freedom,
which no tyranny or degradation can G.
radicate from the human soul, gave them
the courage of hear, and kecnness Of wit
that enabled them 10 overcome all, and
plant their feet upon the soil Of Massa-
chuseus. 1t was a cold, wet, tempeslu-
Gus night on which they stood there in
the City Hall Of Worcester, such a night
as people love not 10 go abroad in but
yet, that spacious Don was filled; filled,
TOO, with a sympaihizing audience, who
manifested in their looks, and frequent
bursts of rapturous applause, how deeply
they were moved by the simple tale OF
that unlearned slave; how heartily they
reioiced in the success of his %endeavors,
and how gladly they welcomed him and
the partner of his lot 10 such freedom as
the public sentiment of Massachusetts,
not lis laws can secure 10 them.
Should we say that we did not p%artici,
pate in The general joy that pervaded thai
audience, we should assert what was un.
true; but there were sentiments and feel
ings connected with the hour, hat filled
our mind with saddening thoughts, and
gave a deeper seriousness TO our reflec-
lions. While We ~rejoiced oYerthese TWO,

The World is Improving.

alt is pleasant to reflect that the public
mind of England has sotiened while IT has
ripened, and that we have In the course Of
ages, become not only a wiser, but also a
kinder people. There is scarcely a page OF
the history of lighter literature Of the seven
teenth century which does not contain some
proof that our ancestors were less humane
than their poste-ity. The discipline of work
shops, Of schools, OF pTlvate families, though
not more efficient than at present, was inf
nitely harsher. Masters, well born and bred,
were in the habit Of beating their servants
Pedagogues knew no way Of imparling
knowledge hut by beating their pupils
Husbands, Of decent station, were not asham-
ed TO beat their wives. The implacability of
hostile factions was such as we can scarcely
conceive. Wings were disposed 10 mutmur
because Stafford was suffered 10 die without
seeing his bones burned before his face
Tories reviled and insuIted Russell as his
coach passed from the Tower to the scanold
in Lincoln's Inn Fields. As liule mercy
was shown BY the P%oPulace 10 sufferers Of an
humber rank.
If an offender be put in a %pillory, it was
well if he escaped with life from HE shower
of brick-bats and paving-slones. Ii he was
tied TO the carts tail, the crowd pressed
around him inploring he hangmsn to give

Gentlemen arranged parties Of pleasure TO
Bddewell on courtddys, for the purpose of
seeing the wretched women who beat hemp
there whipped. 4 man pressed to death for
refusing TO plead, a woman burned for coin

for a CALLED horse, or IN over-driven OK
Fights, compared with which a boxing match
is a refined and humane spectacle, were

of the town, Mulliiudes gathered 10 see pla-

one of the combaiants lost a finger or an eye.

looked with profound indifference. Nowhere
could be found that sensitive and restless

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE

Is published every Friday, at Salem, Coiun-
biana Co., Ohio, by the Executive Committee
of the WESTERN A~NTi-SLAvERY Society;
and is the only paper in the Great Vest
which advocates secession from pro-slavery
governments and pro.slavery church organi-
cations. 1t is Edited by BENJAMIN 5. and ].
ELIZABETH JONES; and while urging upon the
people the duty of holding "No union with
Shareholders" either in Church or State, as
the only consistent position an Abolllionlst
can occupy, and as the best means Tor the de-
s,ruction Of slavery I; it will, so Tar as It's I'm
its permit, give a history of the daily progress
of the anti-slavery cause-exhi6it Inc poIlcy
ind practice of shareholders, and by facts and
arguments endeavor TO increase the zeal and
activity of every true lover Of Freedom. In
addition 10 its anti-slavery matter, it will
ccutain general news, choice extracts, moral
tales, &c. 1t is to be hoped that all the friends
of the Western A%nti-Slavery Society-all the
advocates of the Disunion movement, will do
what they can TO aid in the support OF the
paper, by extending its circulation. You
who live in the West should sustain the pa
per that is published in your midst. The
Bugle is printed on an imperial sheet, and
subscribers may take their choice Of the fol-
lowing

months of the subscribers year.

racter of the paper, it will be furnished 6
months, for SO cents in advance to all 9TH
ers rs cents will be charged.
OF No deviation from these terms.

of auti-slavery truth, with the hope that they
will either subscribe themselves, or use their
influence to extend its circulation among their
friends.

Col. TATE
have seen and read Mr., Pearces
Address, &C, as also, your own Editorial on lhe
subject of that Address, and it does seem to me-
that those structures are not at all "lndIcated' by
anything in the matter or The spiri. Of the Ad-
dress. Now Sir, you were not "cOddjW0T oil
Best" nor have you been "sECRErLY, at work
in this business. The thing is all plain; you were
early, and all along, OPENLY advocating the
nomination of Mr.. GAMBLE. Mr.. Pearce, feel
ing the twinges of an ambition, laudable, or excu-
sable at least in every young American, starts up
on the course a HulC TO late, and so comes out
iust "&ittIe bit behind" Now, this all seems
very fair,-as IN all races OF thi. kind, somebody
must come out behind-But then, here's the rub :
that "bragging editorial :" 1t is too much to bear
in silence coming from such source, and al
snch time. It seems to stamp with the seal ol
appreciation on the part of the people, IN e
course Of Mr.. Best, in the Senate OF Pennsylvania
and it seems to condemn, on the part Of the peo-
pe, that of Mr. Pearce. Now, this is all nonsense,
This is not the issue at all. All concerned know
what the course of Mr. Best was in the Senate
Every one knows that he was false TO his Especial
pledges" and that he was false in his general
course to the principles Of Democracy, and eV'
cry one knows that Mr.. Pearces course was that
of consistant man and a sound Democrat. 1t
seems to me all that is necessary to be said TO
young Pearce is, "just keep COOL don't fret, or
get frightened. We (the People, know you, we
understand your position, we appreciate you, and
in time, if you don't do some injuliciOw thing,
peH bring yOu 10 the Goal, Mr.. GAMBLE, a
good man, has got ahead of you this time,-no
disgrace to you-you could not both succeed -
You are young man ,-"bide your time" Mr.
Best's "bragging editorial" makes him no better,
nor you the worse. While the high purpose Of
honorable ambition, leads you on the wdyto hon.
orable attainment, you need not fear that he who
turns aside through the torturous paths Of trick
cry and intrigue, will ever be able to head you in
the race.
