Meetings in Pittsburgh.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, Oct. 9th, 1850.
DEAR FRIEND JOHNSON: We have held
three or four meetings here, not to agitate
the people, but TO endeavor 10 turn the storm
of excitement already existing to the best
possible account. 1t is glorious to see how
the country is aroused. But there is not
much humanity, or sense of justice about it,
after all. The worst that is said, even by
the Free Soil Party generally, is that the
new law is unconstitutional. Not that it is
unconstitutional 10 return the Fugitive, but
that it is so under this law. They have here
been testing their candidates, and they every
one say the old law is the one, and that un-
der that, they would send back the slave.
But there is spirit of stern resistance in
some quarters. Revolvers, Bowie Knives,
and other deadly weapons find ready sale.
Several hundred fugitives have fled this city
for Canada, many of whom have left their
dearest family relatives behind Parting
scenes have been Witnessed, am told, that
melted the stoutest hearts. But what else
could be done?
Most of those who have gone went in par
ties, and were strongly armed. BY this time
they are probably out of danger But what
winter is before them. From every part of
the North, they are scampering to Canada in
inutitudes, many of them doubtless with lit
tic or no preparation against hunger or cold.
That man or woman, whose whole soul and
spirit are not moved in their behalf, is a
monster. We have homes and welcomes in
profusion for the Hungarian exiles, but wo
to him who does not become a bowling
hyena towards those who are fleeing from
our worse than Austrian or Turkish despo-
tism.
Thisnation waits with an eager solicitude
TO welcome Kossuth to our shores, and 10
make him citizen Of The Republic. 1t will be
done probably, and he will thus be sworn to
support tyranny compared with which Aus
trian oppression becomes a paradise
Friar Matthew drinks libations to slavery
Frederika Bremen kisses her hand to
the damned idol, as she passes, Jen.
ny Lind is going down to hymn his praises
in her notes celestial and divine, and Kossutll
comes to swear to it allegiance, and to shout
so King, live forcver!" God forgive them,
Vhe can, prays your sorrowing friend,

The Fugitive Law,

Beau Brummtl was once asked to indi.
cate the best Joke he had ever heard in his
life. After considering a minute, he said he
thought II was bequest of five pounds left

British National Debt
The Beau lived In one of the darker
nges. Had he been blessed with the day
light of 1850, he would have confessed that
the passage of the Fugitive Slave bill lamong
othersl expressly to settle the Slavery ques-
tion' was a Joke entirely ahead of his. Aud
the vehement assertion of Messrs. Duer,
Bush, &c. at Syracuse that the entire Slave
ry agitation, present aud future, had been
settled, quieted, put to sleep, by these meas
ures, went even degree beyond the other.
1t was carrying absurdity TO the verge OF the
sublime.
Hop Slavery agitation has been buried
by the passage, among others, of this Fugi-
tive Slave bill, the Telegraph and the jour
nails already begin to show; though as yet
only very few of the thousands of hIgi-
lives from labor in the Free States have
been reached for under it. Yet already

An Instructive AnecdOte.
PIrrsnuRen, Oct. 5th, 1850.

PITTsBURGH, Oct. 5th, 1850.
DEAR OLIVER: At our meeting last eve
ming our friend Delaney related an anecdote
that in itself is too good TO be lost, and as il
shows what is to be expected under the New
Fugitive Slave Law, hasten to give it TO
The Bugle.
There is colored man here by the name
of Jones, who has followed the market OF
the city for twenty years, and is as well
known and as much respected as any mar
ket man in the place. A few days ago, he
was occosted by some kidnappers and ques-
toned, but no attempt to arrest was made.
Soon after, however, they came again with
increased force, and Jones was carried at
once before the Mayor. On the way, one
of them asked him how long since he ran
away. He said "ABoUT TWO YEARS"
AT the Mayors Office, the pretended own
er made oath that Jones was his slave, that
he had good title to him, and that about two
years since, he escaped and ran away. His

Why THEY DID IT.--Ihat unmitigated dough-
face and servile, Senator Dickinson of New
York, gave this as reason for voting for the
bill to abolish the slave trade in the District,
viz: 81 believe the Constitutional rights of
slavery here in tho District and IN the States
will DO MORE FULLY, COMPLETELY SECURED
and PROTECTED, when every pretence for
complaint against the slare-trade at the Capital
of the Nation is removed" That was the mo-
tive, no doubt, that controlled the votes of 9TH
ers beside the Hunker Senator for New York
Mr., Clay's chief argument in favor of the bill
was that it would stop agitation and reconcile
the Northern people to the Fugitive Law.

story was very plausible, biased as you SEQ
on the statement Jones himself had cunning
ly made TO him, on the way to the oflice,)
and sealed with solemn oath.
AT this stage of the proceedings, Jones
was permitted a question or two, and 30
nsked one gentleman, " how long have you
known me here in Pittsburgh2" The an
swer was promptly given" Ten Years"
Then he asked a second, how long have
you known me2" The answer was
TWELVE YEARS" Then he turned to the
Mayor and asked, "Mr. Mayor, how long
have you known Inc ," Unhesitotingly the
answer was given, I" haze kno;cn you hcenty
years.!
Jones was discharged Of course. Then
the kidnapper was arrested and committed
to prison. He was subsequently released,
bail being given for his appearance to an
swer, in the sum of 1000 dollars.
This case is highly instructive. There
are no doubt organized bands of kidnappers
with their agents every where, ready to seize
whatever colored person, male or female, they
can make prey. The Foreign Slave Trade
is piracy under the laws of the United States.
But domestic traffic can, and doubtless
will now be opened under the protecting
mantle of the New Law for the Capture of
Fugitives.
No colored person is safe by day or night.
This city is full of kidnappers, and am this
moment informed that two slave girls with
their owner are on board steamer here at
Our very door, just ready to go down the riv-
or. So drop my writing to see if any thing
can be done, The excitement here is intense
beyond description. In haste,

Expurgatcd Literature.

The Old School General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church has published a hymn
book for the use of its congregations, in the last
edition Of which the following stanza, forming
part of a we'll known hymn, is omitted:
Oh when shall Africs sable sons
Enjoy the heavenly word;
And vassals long enslaved become
The frccmcn Of the Lord.
Brave soldiers of the cross arc they not p
Who can doubt that such a church is bound to
introduce the millonniumf
But this is not all. The Presbyterian Board
OF Publication has published an edition Of
Keith on the Prophecies mcanly emitting the
following passage:
"Whatcvcr events the prophecies reveal they
never sanction any iniquity or evil. The wrath
of men workcth not the righteousness of God,
though it be made to praise him. And any de-
fence or attempted justification of Slavery, or OF
man having any moral right of property in man,
must be sought in vain from the fulflment Of
this prediction. Nebuchadnezzar was the gull
ty instrument of righteous judgments; and al
though in the execution Of these he was the
servant of the Lord it was his own gain and
glory which he sought, and after having subdu-
cd nations not few, he was driven from men
and had his dwelling with the beasts. Never
were judgments moro clearly marked than those
| which have rested on the Jews in every coun-
try under heaven. Yet he that touchcth them
touched the apple Of his eye; and the year Of
recompenses for the controversy Of Zion shOll
be the day of the Lords vengeance, when he
will plead with all flesh for his heritage. And
ii these examples suffice not to show that it is O
Wrestling OF Scripture to their destruction for any
to seek from them the vindication Of slavery,
because Canaan was to be the servant Of servants
unto his brethren, yet they who profess to look
here to the Holy Scriptures for a warrant be
cause that the fact was foretold should remcm-
bcr, that though Christ was delivered into the
hands of his enemies '6y the dctermindte counsel
and torekno,cledgo of God, it was by toicked hand
that ho was crucihed and slain God hath
made of one flesh all the nations of the Garth
and were the gospel universally and rightly ap.
| pealed to, no other bond would be known among
men but that Of Christian brotherhood"
Another similar instance of cxpurgation i.
worthy of note. Every Abolitionist knows by
heart that touching hymn of Hannah Gould

How the South View 1t.

The doughfaces in Congress and their or
gans at home Hre now trying with might aud
mnin TO reconcile the people TO their broken
pledges and base deserton of the Wilmot
Proviso, by pretending that, in fact the South
have gained nothing, aud the North lost moth
ing by the late Compromise. II was, say
they, mere punctilio for which the slave
holders contendcd. Not, so, however, say
the shareholders themselves. They claim
the result as a substantial and complete tri-
umpb, by which they have established their
right TO carry slaves into the now territories,
and hold them there. They make no secret,
.h6i{e that
right, at all hazards, and to the last extre-
nifty" How the matter is viewed by pro-
mnent actor in the late Compromise drama,
will be seen by the following extract of
letter from Senator Clemens, of Alabamn, to
the Montgomery Advertiser. After speak
ing of Pearce's Texas bill, for which he vot-
ed, and of the difficulties which made it i'm
practicable to secure to Texas all she claim

demand for his services. We have heard moth
ing from him since the Anniversary, but hope
soon to be informed of his entire recovery from
his late illness. He was never more needed in
the field than now, when the infamous Fugi-

sideration of their duties to the slave.
