A correspondent Of The Tribune, speaking of
the President says: He is heart and soul de-
termined to have the Slavery controversy ad-
justcd upon national principles, and in that
spirit which is tho very life blood Of our insti
tutions." So then if we could only find out
what are national principles we should be
able to tell exactly how Mr.. Fillmore wants to
settle the great question now before the coun-
try. Does the first sentence Of the Declaration
of Independence embody national principle
Or is such principle to be sought in McDuf
fies famous declaration that Slavery is the
corner r-stone of the Republican edicc Or
is it neither of these, but something halfway
between the twoi

The Southern Press tries to make capital for
slavery out of the late Tailors' riot in New
York. It's argument is that the freedom of the
working classes is dangerous to the interest of
the capitalists. Fudge!

College Students once used to get their ears
cuffed for their misdemeanors. The officer of a
College who would inAict such barbarism up
on student now would be very likely to lose
his place. How many old men have mourned
at seeing such change occurring in the modes
Of restraining the young, thinking that without
blows the teacher could not keep young mon
m proper subjection just as many now think
that the gallows is the only remedy for MUIR
der. Tho world is growing wiser, in spite of all
croakers, though its progress is by far too slow.
A correspondent Of The Tribune, writing
from Newport, r. l., says: "Therc is more

than in all the rest of the Union put together.
That spirit of progress. which YOU so ably ad-
vocate finds no entrance within these borders.

sonment for Debt than you could to abolish

FATAL DISEASE AMONG Cows.-A corespon
dent of the Tribune writes from Onieda Co., N.
Y. as follows: "a new and fatal disease has
lately appeared among the mich cows belong
ing to the farmers and dairy mon of this vicini-

the failure of the milk of the COW, decreasing in
some cases, in a single day from pailfun to

Southern Bluster.


The Southern Press, with feurfhlly omi-
nous face, thus described the very terrible
consequences that are to follow the admis-
sion of California to the Union. When we
consider that the war thus threatened will be
waged, IL waged, at all, for the extension
and perpetuity Of Human Slavery, the clos
ing paragraph of the extent is both cool and
rich.
If this bill pnssscs both houses, it is made
the duty of Governor of Georgia, by a reso-
lntion Of the Legislature of that State at its
last session, to convene that body by procla-
nation forthwith. That duty DiH bePonpt-
IN performed The Legislature will meet
promptly. Ii that body retains the senti-
nenis of last session, or above all, II the
members respect the sentiments OF the peo-
pie as pronounced at the recent cxtrnordlna-
ry demonstrations of public opinion, at a
multitude of public meetings in that State, it
may he expected that the most decisive and
effective measures will be taken. When
Georgia shall have thus decided, South
Carolina will follow in ten days with an un-
nnimity never surpassed, in any community
on any measure. These two States will of
fer ample aid to Texas. Mississippi, Ala
barna, aud Florida, will Immediately follow.
And when this is doue the fate of the Union
will probably be decided. When winter
comes, the other Southern Legislatures meet
and Virginia must. decide. She is n State
whose fame since the Revolution has been,
sustained by her resistance To Federal usur-
patton and encroachInent. She will hardly
become its ally, or u neural. OF her it will
never be said,
"ro die q State or live slave
Thy choice is most ignobly brave"
But whatever may he thought Of the
course of Virginia or other Southern States,
it is certain tiat not all the Federal army aud
navy combined can coerco the States of
Georgia, South Carolina. Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Texas, and Florida. And if militia
from other States are called for, not a solita-
ry platoon can be found in any slavehold-
ing State, and very few in the Southern half
Of the Northwestern States-or in the cities
or seaboard of the North Atlantic. We
think very few can be found any where, and
not enough to make any Impress
ion OH the six States we have named.
We are as much opposed to war as any
other people. We have vivid sense of its
evils, immediate aud remote-of the vices it
engenders, the wrongs it perpetrates, the
misery it inficts, the ruin that results. But
in such conflict the South would not only
have the right OIL her side; she could not
decline it without disbonor and DISASTER
The scheme of wrestling from seven millions
of free people by the mere formula of a ma
jority vote, their rightfiIl share of the ricli-
est territory under the sun, aud this with the
avowed design of fixing eternal barriers
against their future progress, is not surpass
ed in turpitude, and will not he surpassed in
the consequences it will bring on its authors,
by any net of spolia,ion recorded in history.

Notes from the Leciuring Field.

Nh. EDrToRi At my last meetings held at
Bcrca, the Rev. II. o. Sheldon rose and en-
deavorcd to show that had misrepresentcd
several things in my lato account OF tho meet
ings at that place. Several charges were made,
which the gentleman had to take back by the
almost unaniE1ous opposition OF the audience.
One thing, however, must correct. l stated
"that the Postmaster said that Mcthodism had
had iair chance 10 woIk out its results" 1t
was not the POSTMASTER, but some other person,
who saia 30.
Another mistake, not mine but Of the aforc-
sad p. NJ. Mr.. Sheldon accused him OF mis-
representation in saying there were thirteen law
suits in one week. He says he was mistaken
there were seucntcen and t,oo church trials.
In The Bugle of the Sd Nov. 40, (No 81 is
an article headed the State and the Priesthood,
from the N. Y. Evangelist. The same gen.

pcared, and such other informatin as is necessary

Dugdale'S Beehive.

The superiority of this Hive is acknowledged
by all who have examined it. In addition to
the testimony heretofore published, we tako
pleasure in presenting the following, which
must have great weight with the public.
Tho Committee on Bcc-Hives of the New
York State Agricultural Society made the fol-
lowing Report, viz:
"The Committee on Bee Hives have minute
ly examined Dugdalc's Moth Proof Beehive,
deposited by Thomas McClintock of Waterloo,
Seneca Co. They find it a very ingenious, sim
pie and commodious Hive, embracing, in their
judgment, in great perfection the desirable re-
quisitcs in Hive. The moth-proof door, thor
oughly ventilated by means of screen wire, and
the moth chamber so constructed that the moths
can be taken and with their progeny destroyed,
are new and important appendages, and tho
Hive, which is essentially a double one, is ad-
mirably constructed for the transfer of the bees
from one Hive to another, so as to preclude the
necessity of swarming. They regard it, SO far
as their information extends, as the best Hive
cxtant, and commend it 10 the Society for the
award which they deem such merit entities il to.

Cheap Postage.

We ask the immediate and earnest atten-
ton of every reader of The Bugle to the
Circular of the New York Cheap Postage
Association on the Fourth Page. A bill has
already been introduced in the House by
Mr.. Ashmun Of Massachusetts,, correspond
ingin all essential particulars with the doc
trine so clearly illustrated in that Circular /;
and now it is important that petitions should
be poured in upon Congress from every town
and neighborhood where single friend of
Cheap Postage can be found. Abolitionists
are not less interested in this subject than
others, and we hope they will be active in
securing reform whose benefcent results
will reach alike the rich and the poor, the
learned and the ignorant. We shall have
Cheap Postage law this very session, if
those whe ape in iaEer Of Il will only circu-
late and forward petitions Take hold of
the work, then, reader, without days de-
lay.

SARrAIS's MAGAZINE for March is out in ad-
vance Of its contemporaries. Its engravings, tho
hardly equal to those of the previous month,
arc very good. The literary contributions en-
brace the usual variety of prose and verse
Francis J. Grund contributes sketch of the
Hungarian War, and there arc articles from
Mrs. Kirkland, Mrs Sigourney, John Neal,
Mrs. Embury, Edith May, Grace Greenwood,
and many others. Mrs. Kirklands article is
strong, though discriminating vindication of Fic-
ton, or Reading for Amusement She shows
very clearly the folly of attempting to deprive
the young of all fictitious reading, at the same
time that she urges the necessity of great care
in the selection of novels.
