He WANTS Observation-Disclosures by
experience of tho tiInidty, the irresolution,
the want of firinness in our public men, par
ticularly at Washington, amidst the tempin-
tons of ambition aud power, the friends OF
Freedom cannot lightly bestow their conf
dence. They can put trust only in men OF
tried character aud inflexble WILL Three
things at least they must require; the first is
backbone; the second is back bone and the
third is backbone. Loud cheers. My Ian

VERMONT MIsREPRIsENTED.-We did not
suppose that any paper in Vermont would dare
to vindicatc the business of slave catching, but
our confidence in the soundncss of public opin.
ion in our native State, it seems, was little too
strong. The Journal published in Windsor,
incar the State Prison y is in favor of obeying
the law and fulfilling the plain and unequivo-
cal demand of the Constitution. We believe
the Journal does not represent the opinions of
the majority of the people of that State.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

Mr. Phillips took the platform and made
speech of surprising eloquence, keen satire
and brilliant thought. Mr.. Phillips was fol-
lowed by Rev. William II. Charming, who
believes that Mr.. Thompson will not be al
lowed to return to England until the insult
which has been offered him in Boston has
been wiped out by a crowded assembly of
her best citizens in Faneuil Hall.

Thomas II. BENToN.-This distinguished pol
itician made speech lately at st. Louis on the
great questions now before the country. If we
may Judge from the brief reports which have
fallen under our notice, tho speech can hardly
fail to disappont those who have been looking
toward him as a suitable leader for the Free
Democracy in 1852. He is evidently trying to
sit on two stools-to be just anti-slavcry enough
to catch votes at the North, without incurring
too much risk of offending the slaveholders.-
On the subject of the Fugitive Law he talks as
if there were a bone in his throat. lie says: I:

REPoRr OF THE PA. A. S. SocIETr.--We
have received copy, in pamphlet form, of the
Thirteenth Annual Report of the Executive
Committee Of the Pennsylvania Anti Slavery
Society, with an Appendix containing the pro-
cccdings of the Annual Meeting lately held at
Wcstchestcr. The Report fully meets tho ex-
pcctations we had formed in regard to it from
the opinions expressed by those who heard it
read before tho Society. 1t tells most bitter
truth, but without bitterness. Its review of the
progress of the cause in Pennsylvania is mark
cd by great clcurncss and discriminationu-- rscIi
as by the faithful boldness with which it dqals
with men and parties and the view it takes oil
the position of the Church, and particularly of
the Society of Friends, is such as can hardly
fail to carry conviction to every conscientious
mind. We take for granted that this excellent
Report is from the pen of ]. MILLER AcKM, a
man whose devotion to the cause for many
years has cndcared him to all who have enjoyed
tho pleasure of his acquaintance. We hope to
find room for some choice extracts at future
time.

CHAPLIN's CAsE.-1he trial of William l..
Chaplin has been postponed till Spring. The
grand jury presented seven indictments, three
charging Chaplin with assault and battery with
attempt to kin, two for larceny of Toombs and
Stevens's slaves, and two for assisting the slaves
to escape. Ailidavits were filed by him affirm
ing that he could not obtain fair trial at Rock
vile and claiming a change of venue. His ap.
plication was granted and the case transferred
to tho Harvard District Court. The Court fixed
the amount of bail at $4,000, a sum so cxccs-
sive that his friends were not at the instant able
to meet the demand Whether they will sue
coed in raising the amount remains to be seen.

Letter from ]. R, Giddings.


The disappointment generally felt in this vi.
cinity in consequence of Mr.. Giddingss insbili-
ty to attend the late Mass Convention, and the
desire to hear him 30 universally prevalent
among the people, induced few individuals to
address him letter expressive ofthcir gratitude
for his past services in the cause of Freedom,
and requesting him, before his departure for
Washington, to visit us and give us his views
on the infamous Fugitive Law. The following
is his reply, from which it will be seen that, for
reasons the force of which every one will readi-
ly acknowledge, he has felt constrained to de.
cline a compliance with our request. The re-
grct we feel in view of this result OF the corr
rcspondence is atoned for in some degree by tho
privilege afforded us of publishing letter 90
honorable to the head and heart Of the writer.
JEFFERSON, Nov. Is, 1850.

letter tender my sincere thanks. regard

manner.
have derived great pleasure from tho
perusal of your kind letter. The voice of en-
couragment from the early, the tried friends
of the cause is cheering to my heart, and
nerves me on to further effort. On reading
yeur letter and looking around me on every
hand and noting the progress of our cause,
and listening to the cheering intelligence
which is now brought us from oil parts Of
the North by the winged lightning, I felt
with the Apostle TO thank God and take
courage" | need not assure my friends at
Salem that nothing would give me greater
pleasure than once more to meet them, to
speak of the progress which now marks our
cause, to interchange greetings and congrat-
ulations with them. But were it convenient
for the to meet them, / cannot disguise the
fact, that | could promise them little that
should he novel or interesting. l have often
spoken there; indeed have addressed tho
people of that place more frequently than Of
any other South of the Reserve. MY son,

fore is yet unable TO walk. 1 have been at
home but little since the adjournment of
Congress, aud l have many calls upon my
time. presume also that they and my con-
siltuents will expect to hear from me at no
distant day after my arrival at Washington.
Under nll these circumstances | have
thought that duty would not permit me the
pleasure of u visit to Salem before the meet
ing of Congress.
With feelings of great respect, am, your
obcdient servant.

The Way 10 Preserve the Union.

Hon. Richard Rush, in recent letter, avows
from the anti-slavery agitation-'not visiona-
ry danger, worked up in the heated fancics OF
few ultras, but danger decided, fearful and
widc-sprcad; and he tells us that the Compro-
misc Act, though good as fur as it went, can
never cure the difficulty, unless followed up by
mutual conciliation and forbearance, and by
the faithful performance of constitutional OBJ
legations Our Union,' ho solemnly adds, is
otherwise GONE FOREVER, and sooner than zee
think 1t must be saved by DEEDS, by con-
DUcr by things paipabto to be done and a6iied BY.
The meaning of this is plain. The deeds by
which the North is to preserve the Union, the
conduct by which she is to approve herself to
her Southern masters, is comprehended in obc-
dicnce to the Fugitive Slave Law The things
palpable to be done asc to refuse shelter to the
flying bondman and to aid in restoring him to
his master.
Little do these blind Conservatives, who have
just been thawcd out of their torpidity by the
heat of the anti-slavcry agitation, dream of the
effects which their inculcations will produce.
Little do they think that, instead of saving the
Union, they are opening the eyes of the people
to its true character and preparing them to cast
/ it, with its accurscd compromises, into the
depths of the sea. If the continuance of the
national compact depends upon the conditions
named by Mr.. Rush, its days are indeed num-
bcrcd. The merchants Of our great cities, whose
god is mammon, and who are as soulless as the
cotton-bags in which consists their wealth, may
be ready to do the deeds to which Mr.. X. so
significantly refers; but the intelligent yeoman-
ry OF the country, the hard listed laborcrs OF the
North, would as soon become highway robbers,
or pirates, as engage openly in such iniquity.
