franchisement of the North, at least. But |
enlightenment and intelligence are the very
things our selfinterest and self-respect lack.
II these were not wanting would the North
submit to the utter humiliation of the Con-
stitution, as far as they are concerned, In the
enslavement ofour citizens, the expulsion of
our legal agents and our forcible election
from the National tribunals? But this vol
untary darkening of the eyes, and this pusil-
lani,nity of spirit, is a part of the punishment
consequent on our criminal conserving to
the oppression of our countrymen, and makes
all Reformation that does not proceed from
genuine Repentance, almost impossible. 1t
is the wish to combine continued conniyance
with the crime, with effectual endeavor n
gainst it, that complexities our political &C
ton. An accomp'ice always cuts a so: ry fig
ure when he appears as witness against the
partaker of his crime or as his rebuker,-
This is the absurd and culpable attitude in
which Anti-Slavery politicians stand. The
business of Abolitlonists is to keep the Mind
of the Public in such n state of wholesome
Agitation on the subject of Slavery as TO
compel such imperfect service as it is in its
heart and its nature to give.
All political attempts to control Slavery,
hitherto, have been cropping and empirical
Perhaps they may learn wisdom from their
own mistakes. Mr.. John Van Buren,, in his
speech at Faneuil Hall indicated a future
step, which may be in the right direction
He made three significant suggestions
First, that New York will not go into a Ma
tioDal Convention with the South, unless
the South retract her resolutions making the
Extension of Slavery a test Ofoffice second
iy, that he would never support any man for
President who would not exert his power, to
it's extreme Constitutional extent, for the Alb
clifton of Slavery; and thirdly, that matters
might come TO such a pass as TO result in the
election of a President by Northern votes,
alone This, it seems TO us, indicates the
next move OH the political Chess-board.-
Let a Convention be called in 1852 of dele
gates from the Free States alone, and a Par
~ organized as the Northern Party, and the
Politics of the Country wonld begun TO right
itself again. 1t is the delusion of Nationali-
ty, and the pretended ~abnegation of Section
IN that has given us up bound hand and
tooft6 the South. An Anti-Slavery party
must be strictly and necessarily a Sectional
or Northern sty. 1t would have its favor
ers in the Sous, as the Southern Party would
in the North ;but the controlling, compel
ling, force ofzlle party must consist in its
Northern Character and objects. Whatever
arrays the North against the South is of its
W nature a good. When two hostile ele-
ments are separated and placed in direct an
tagonism with each other, there is a hope
that the worst may go to the wall. As long
as they attempt to act in alliance with each
other the worst must have the mastery of
the better. This state of things would be
far enough from being the best, but it would
be a far more wholesome and hopeful politi-
cal condition than has existed for forty
years.. Q,

THE COMING

The First Session of the XXXIst Congress
opens on Monday. Already most of the
Members are at Washington, and when the
hour arrives not a seat will be u~noccup;ed,
except from some cause impossible to obvi-
ate. Never has the assembling of the Ma
tional Legislature been awaited with more
serious expectation by the people; never
were more important issues referred to it for
settlement; never have more wcighty conse-
quences depended upon its action.
The great question now to come up is of
course that between Slavery and Free Soil.
Viewed from a little distance, and in the
light of positive principles, one is astonished
that such a question should ever be raised
1t seems both absurd and melancholy that
fieemen should come to dispute about the
rights of Slavery, as if it had any right ex-
cept to disappear and be forgotten along
with other crimes and monstrosities in that
original Night whence it came. Did we not
know it, we could moi believe that a great
Republic based on liberty aud equality could
be agitated and threatened with subversion
because certain of its citizens were bent up
on strengthening the institution of Slavery,
establishing it in new regions and increasing
the number of Slaves. But common sense
and consistency have to learn some tough
lessons in this world. There are serfs and
bondmen in other countries, but no where is
the accursed institution so tenacious, violent
and aggressive as in the United States.
There is talk of new compromises, which
shall give part of the Territories in question
to Slavery. Were the dispute one of mere
expediency, q. matter of money, or of materi-
al advantage, n compromise would be n
laudable thing. Not so in a matter of princi-
pie there can be no safe compromise be-
$50 .--.I - l-I--l - -. -l
darkness. The man who bargains away a
principle sows evil for the future. He who
consents to the establishment of negro slave
ry on an inch of that Territory, because such
seems the easier policy, may possibly have
the head and the heart of Il freeman; as to
that we do not presume to decide; but he
pursues a course we cannot envy.
As to the dissolution of the Union we are
not alarmed. The North does not threaten
to dissolve it, and has no thought of such an
experiment. All that talk comes from anoth-
er quarter, and frothier words would be a
difficult invention. Suppose Freedom is
triumphant, and South Carolina dissolves
the Union. What will she do then? How
will she gain thereby that addition to the
Slave power for which she now SO loudly
contends? VIII she attempt to conquer Cal
ifornia in order to extend there the blessings
of Bondage? Will she even preach a cru
SADIE against New Mexico or Deseret? Or
will the great mass of sensible Southern peo-
pie find her banner a better one to march
under than the Stars and Stripes of the
Union? We shall see.
No, there is nothing frightfiI in these-oat-
sfvfsgs, anu- we suppose no general terror is
caused by them. The people hereabouts
seem TO expect the result with serenity OF
mind, for their convictions are thorough and
immovable.

The Editor at Home,

The Editor of The Bugle has the pleasure
once more of greeting his readers from the edi-
torial chair. After an absence of six weeks, he
has returned to his post, prepared to do battle
in the cause of Freedom with renewed zcal and
courage. His journeyings have been exceeding
ly pleasant and profitable to himself, and, it is
hoped, not altogether unproductiye of good to
the cause. He has not only renewed acquaint-
ance with many old and valued friends, but ex-
perienced the pleasure of an introduction to
some of tho most intelligent and devoted advo-
Gates of truth in the West. He has been recei-
we'd everywhere with a cordiality which excited
his warmest gratitude and left impressions upon
his mind as agreeable as they are ineffaceable.
Our thanks are due to our highly esteemed
friend, JAMES BARNABY, for his kindness in de-
voting to the care Of The Buglc, during our alb
sencc, all the time he could spare from other
and pressing engagements. lie has discharged
the duties of Editor pro tenn. in a manner at
once creditable to himself and satisfactory to
us.
CoRREspoNDENrs (~private) will see in the alb
sence of the Editor the reason why their favors
have not been promptly acknowledged. They
shall hear from us shortly.

PrO-Slavery Tyranny.

Rev. A. T. Foss has been excluded from
the Salisbury IN. H. Baptist Association on
account of his anti-slavery principles. The
New Hampshire Baptist State Convention,
in order to prevent all discussion of Slavery
in its meetings, has adopted a rule, that
when any subject shall be introduced, any
member may object to its being discus
sed when it shall be the duty of the pre-
siding officer Immediately to put the ques-
tion-Shall this question be discussed? If
the Convention vote in the negative, no one
is allowed to speak upon the question. 1t is
by such means that a Northern ecclesiastical
body seeks to shut out the light of truth on a
great moral question, and one which con-
Germs the highest welfare of millions. 1t is
for %denouncing such bodies that Abolition
lists are called infdels; and they are infidels
to a religion which sanctions or connives at
the enslavenent of their fellow-men.

a man was the other day convicted of steal

" AT A PUBLIC MEETING, held in Char
lesion, S. c., last week, over which the May
or of the city presided, an extended and full
report was made by a committee appointed
for the purpose, at a public meeting held
there in July last, relative to the institution
in that city of an Episcopal congregation
called Calvary Church, especially for colored
people and slaves. 1t was at first looked up
on with suspicion, but the committee have
approved oft, inasmuch as it was conducted
on strictly legal principles, under the super
vision of the Bishop and a collection of white
persons, who attended the church regularly.
They add, that they approve of introducing
religious instruction among the slaves, be-
cause of the improvement it effects in their
moral condition, docility, and submission to
authority.
