THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

any design in the matter. Full one-third OF
the audience were disunionists, and disunion-
lists had co-operated heartily in getting up the
meeting, and 1t would have been no more than
courteous to say the least to have placed one OF
their number on the committee. If that course
had been pursued, the resolutions might have
been so framed as to secure entire harmony and
save some useless debate.
The last preamble and resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Preston appear to us to have decided
Frocsoil party squint. Nevertheless we cared
little for that, being willing that the members
of that party should have the utmost latitude
of specch. But we did think It little ungra-
cious in some of them that they should take
offence at an argu1ent designed to show that
moral agitation was necessary even to the sue
cess of their political efforts. That little Mr..
Montgomery should be so stupid as to pro-
nounee such an argument om Of order did not
surprise us, but that Frccsoilcrs should suffer
themselves to be made the victims OF his stu
pidity, is unaccountable to us except on the
supposition that they regarded the meeting as
their o,cn and the Disunionists as intrudcrs. =
The great majority of the meeting vindicatcd
their character for fairness by PROMPTLY rcvcrs-
ing the decision of the woodcn-patcd chairman,
but it is unfortunate that my thing should hsve
occurred to mar the harmony OF a meeting
which should have had but ono heart and boen
lifted above all personal and party prcjudiccs.

The Agitation goes on!

The excitement occasioned by the passage
Of the Fugitive Law is becoming more in
tense with the lapse of every succeeding
hour The papers are filled with discus
sions of the subject and with the proceedings
of meetings held to denounce the law. We
cannot pretend to notice one in fifty Of these
assemblages of an outraged and indignant
people. How we do glory in this agitation.
May it wax hotter and hotter till every chain
is melted.
We hear of no more arrests under tho
law. The kidnappers have not yet return
ed to Boston since they took themselves Off
TO escape the burning scorn of which they
were the victims. 1t was reported that the
President had made special provision for en-
forcing the law by the military power, but
the story was contradicted by the Washing
ton Republic, the organ of the Administra-
ton.

Letter from Parker Pillsbury.


CoScoRD. N. II. Nov. 8, 1850.
DEAN FRrESD Johnson; My last was dated
from the womcns Convention at Worcester
You would have received another article from
me on the same subject. but for the full reports
saw that you was likely to get from the New
York Tribune. 1t was gathering such as is
not often seen in an age so degenerate as ours.
Still the proceedings have not awakened half
the public interest and attention that yours did
some months since in Ohio. That meeting
struck by its novelty. 1t logged the wheels of
society considerably. 1t seemed like an Insur-
rcetion among slaves. Every body was aston
ishcd at its audacity, That woman had rights,
was something new and startling enough
That she should demand them, was monstrous
indeed. Tie Declaration Of Independence
never said that al ,comcn ,cae born free aud
Equal . and as to the Constitution, the word
,eoman is not in it. Only the existence of wo-
man had ever been recognized or thought Of
and even her existence had sometimes almost to
be proved. John G. Calhoun denied that even
men were born. don't know but that. had he
Rights defended, he would have denied their
very existence altogether.
But perhaps It was not the novelty and au-
dacity Of your Convention, that made all the
difference in the manner of reception by the
public. At that time there was no Fugitive
Slave Law ringing in peals of horror on every
body's car. Now there is ana thanks to God,
il absorbs, as it should, every thing else. For
the first time, there is some reason to hope the
South has lashed the North up to at least
'Oincing point. An old ncighbor of mine has
driven little, knurly sack Of bono and liga-
mcnt (he says it is horse,) to the beach for sea
weed, and starved him along, until the whip has
no moro terrors for him than darts had to Jobs
Leviathan. Then he laid whips aside, and
drives altogether with his pitchfork, jobbing his
poor old hide with as many holes as Carlyle says
there arc borcs" in America. Still in these
last years he never can "raisc trot." Pitch
forks have lost all power and point.
| Much in the same way the South has beer
driving the North. The new Fugitive Law
seems now little like tho pitchlork application
Of Uncle Sam" But perhaps it wont hurt
long, and then VIC shall jog on as before. Fol
the moment, our grit seems little up. In
Boston there threatens to be warm work.
Should a slave be arrested thousands of armed
men would appear in the streets in a single
hour. think blood must flow before the con.
test ends. The South have got tho law; now
they will wish to execute it. Let them try
never threaten, nor do ! love to hear or see i,
done. But there are places where tho fighting
men would kill slave hunter quicker thar
they would mad dog or a rattlcsnakc.
Yours in haste, ~, ..f.

Willing 10 be a Kidnapper.


Tho Youngstown Republican is trying to re-
concilc hostility to the Fugitive Law with fidcli-
ty to the Constitution. 1t says:
If the law was more humane, and devoid Of
its tyrancal appearances, Ito say the lcast,) and
merely granted the right TO the stakeholder TO re.
claim the .fiigitiUe slaee, but lille fault could be
found against n-for it is indisputablc that such
right is given by the Constitution. Its odium
does not consist in the mcrc effort to recover
fugitivcs-for rs good citizens we arc bound to
recognize the privilege given by the Constitution
but in Withholding from the accused .hc privi-
lcge of speedy investigation from proper tri-
bunal. The alleged fugitive is not allowed an
immediate trial-ho merely receives an investi-
CATION from commissioner, and upon er parte
evidence is at once delivered over to the slave
catcher.
What diabolical nonsense is all this! The
Fugitive Bill. if wrong at all, is so prc-emncnt-
ly because of its main object, not merely on ac-
count Of the method it provides for the accom-
plishment of that object. What sort of gov
crnment is that in which to be "good citizens y
we must act like internal scoundrels Will the
Republican support such government Is it
willing, with all its professions of democracy ()
upon its lips, to play the kidnappcr in Consti-
tutional ways If SO, its hostility to the pres
ent Fugitive Law is nothing but paltry affccta-
ton. The opposition to tha: law which has its
origin in any other source than dccp-rootcd
Adherence of the object it was intended to secure
is not worth straw. Think you, Mr.. Repub.
lican. that kidnapping is any less internal be-
consa n Ia in accorflnnce with tho II 6 Consti-
tutioni

Case Of Jesse Mcbride.

Jesse Mcbride. minister Of the Wesleyan
Methodist Church, was recently convicted at
Greensboro N. c., upon charge of circulating
an anti-slavery pamphlet and sentenced to
stand in the pillory for one hour, to receive ten
lashes, and be imprisoned in the penitentiary
for one year. The pamphlet he circulated was
entitled, Slavery and the Ton Command
mcnts,' published several years ago by tho
American Anti-Slavcry Society, and designed
to show that slavery is violation of every pre-
cept of the decaloguo. The prisoner appealed
to the Supreme Court, and the execution OF the
sentence is of course stayed for the present.
Mcbride is native of this County, and his
father, an Orthodox Quaker, now lives near
Hanover. lie is well known in this region, and
has sister living in Salem. His character is
unimpeachcd, and he is believed to have gone to
North Carolina from the noblest motives. The
treatment he has received is Iar illustration oi
tho influence of slavery upon the freedom ol
speech and the press. A miniature pamphlet Of
a dozen pages containing nothing but calm
appeal to reason and common sense, is enough
to set the whole slaveholding camp in fer
ment, and to subject the man who circulates II
to condign punishment.

A Coon ExAMPLE.--Mrs. Darusmont, better
known as Mrs. Fanny Wright, recently arrived
at St. Louis from Memphis. She was on her
way to New York. She had, it is said, just lib
Grated some 800 plantation slaves. These were
oil her own property. They resided on plan
tation near Memphis, which she owns. Mrs.
Wright is an open and avowcd Infdcl, but she
has set an example which few of her clerical
denunciators have Christianity enough to rni-
tate. Tho name of Fanny Wright has long
boon the standing bugbcar of a time-serving,
cowardly priesthood, but the voluntary cmanci-
patton of her slaves, at great pccuniary sacri-
fee, will endear her to every friend of hui
manity.

CONSCIENCE AND THE CoNsTITUTIoN.-Do Don't

Theodore Parker's Sermon on the Fugitive Law.
He has stated fundamental principle with great
clearncss and illustrated it in way to carry con-
viction to every mind. Read it, every word,
and lend it to your neighbors. If you would
prepare the people for a great crisis like tho
present, you must bring them under the inau-
encc of sentiments like those which Mr.. Parker
inculcates. Would to God that all clergymcn
were like him I!

rB- The Washington Union, the organ of the
National alias slaveholding) Democracy. is
greatly grievcd and surprised to learn that -
Democratic members of Congress elected from
Ohio will support the repeal Of the Fugitive
Law. The willy politician who controls that
paper regards slavery and democracy as synon-
ymous terms, and is therefore gricvcd' at any
indication that his party at the North arc break
ing the shackles in which they have so long
been bound. The democratic members of Con-
gross from Ohio will not be likely, in defiance
of the imperative will of their constituents, to
sustain that infamous law. Southern threats of
dissolution will not avail now that the people Of
the North are fairly aroused from their slumbers
by that bill of denominations. The lash of the
STAKEHOLDER is not half as much to be dreaded as
the indignation of an outraged constituency.

The Assault on n. z. Willis.

To The Editor Of The Tribune
The tone Of your remarks today in relation to
the brutal attack upon Mr. Willis meets the sppro-
baton of every honorable and brave man. That
the peace Of the c0mmU atty is disturbed by Fuch
an outrage is bad enough, but it is still worse that
an opportunity is thus afforded such men as the
hangers-on Of Forrest to thrust before the public
through the newspapers, their names and their
depraved notions of what belongs TO the conduct
and character of gentlemen. If they knew the
thorough contempt which all respectable persons
feel for their actions they would be less fond of
publishing their names in the public prints How
Mr.. Forrest or his friend can reconcile his lamb
like submission to the indignities which he says Mr.
Jsmison heaped upon him, saying not a pord pkeH
he d,sc0rered las he thought that person az inn
proDtr attitude scth Mrs f. but continues 10 treat
him as a friend, and alter finding ia his wfes pos
session letter which he thinks, or pretends 10
thiT k, proves criminaity between them, takes no
further notice of It than to make it the subject of
Qutnel WITH HIS WIFE, and then comes 10 New.
York and selects as the object of a brutal attack
the smallest and weakest person OF ell whom he
has charged with similar injuries upon his domestic
rights-and they are at least half doZen-and
making the attack, too, when attended by his
friends, upon an uDarmed and delicate person in
any thing but robust health and entirely alone. is
If Mr.. Forrest btliereS these charges against his
wife, and possesses one spark of manhood, why
did he pass by the ablebOd,ed, tuilSi=ed Mr.. Jam
isop, whom he believes he caught in deictu, and
select only uoman, and man half has SIZE, and
against whom he had proof, for the object OF his
vengeance The whole matter is so brutal and so
cOrardly that it can be excused only on the ground
of insanity, and that can only explain the out
regeous conduct which has so much astonished and
Disguised all respectable persons for months past,
throughout this whole difficulty. Unfortunately,
that excuse cannot be extended to the pimps and
psnders who are striving for notoriety through his
means
As to Mr. Willis, whatever may be the estimate
in which some persons hold him, his conduct
throughoutsthis whole matter has been that Of a
gentleman The brutality Of such men as have
disgrsced themselves by this cowsrdly attack on
him, has only served to make friends for him. If
the object Of all this is to create excitement unfa-
vorabe to Mrs. Forrest, and to identify her as far
as possible with Mr.. Willis, as seems probable, it
has most senslly failed, for there cannot certainly
now be found a reasonable person who believes
word of the SANDER that has been uttered against
her. CITIZEN OF NEw-YoRK.
