content with this liberty, and finding no re-

tended them to the. lady, who at once be-
came seriously alarmed, and hearing tie
tread Of mules on the road, she rushed from
the store to seek assistance from two Mexi-
cans that she saw advancing along the road.
These poltroons, however, gave her no aid,
but passed on without even demonstrating

the discontinuanco of tho Weekly journal bcir-

great satisfaction now to announce that the first

form can we perceive that it has undergone any

encc, fairness and justice, which made it so
acceptable and useful as a weekly. The same

Prescribed because of no Sect.

Yesterday, the 9th of January, walked
some three or four miles to school-house in
Copley, to attend meeting appointed by John
Warner. went in company with Mr.. Warner,
and upon our arrival there VIC found the house
closed and the door locked, and as tho people
assembled to hear him preach the Gospel OF
Peace and Good VIII, word was brought that
the School Directors had decided that John
Warner should preach in that house no more,
though it was added that any other preacher
might. Mr.. Warner remarked, that it was no
new thing for church members to try to prevent
him from speaking, though when he belonged
first to the Baptsts, and afterwards to the Disci-
Piles, (Campbollites,) it was otherwise. The day,
however, being warm and pleasant, VIC assem-
bled in the open air, and listened to sermon
inculcating the spirit of justice and bencvolencc,
as against all war, strife, and physical violence.
And why is John Warner thus prescribed,
when striving to still the angry passions-to
persuade mon to be just and loving, and there
fore happieri He was once popular enough
as preacher to be ushered into cushioned pull
pits and carpeted churches, but now the doors
of school-houses are closed against him. 1t is
because he is not laboring with sect to mako
men the slaves of sectarianism. 1t is because ho
discards the bloody instruments of death and
oppression. 1t is because he goes forth using
the abilities which God has given him, uttering
the great truths of Anti-Slayory, of Peace, and
of Human brotherhood, in opposition to all
institutions, of whatever name, that would en-
slave men mentally or physically.
May he persevere in the good work, and. un-
dauntcd by prescription and persecution. tri-

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Fugitive Slaves.

Mn. EDIToR: Much has been said on the
Obligation of the non-slaveholding States to
deliver up fugitive slaves; but to whom does
the Constitution require them to be deliver
ed? To the person to whom their labor or
service may be due This, then, is a part of
the law of the land, and many complain of it
as stupendous piece of fraud but why
should he not be given up9 The owes SER
vice, or owes money, why should he not pay
it? ] confess that, with oil my onti-slavery
principles, still think that if he oices any
thing to any one for enslaving him, he ought
at least to try to pay up. But challenge all
the lawyers in Christendom to make any man
of common understanding believe, that the
slave otces any thing to his enslover. True
he mny and often does, owe him for scores
of cowhidings, cat-hauings and the like, but
that he owes him any thing that he would
like to get, deny, and call for the proof, but
it can't be found. But il may be asked, Why
have so many slaves been delivered up un-
der the Constitution, if they oice nothing?-

New Mexico in Peril.
From the Now York Trihnr

From the New York Tribune.
New-Mexico is this day in imminent peril
of subugation to Slavery. Her people are
few, scattered, etiemnate and spirit-brolxen
by conquest; Texas can crush her in month
1t secured immunity in so doing. Withdraw
from New-Alexico the protection of the Fed
eral Government, and Texas throttles her at
once, Byithat act, Slavery would be pushed
up to the 42d degree of north latitude, con-
siderably further North than it now has
foothold in any part of the Union. The
swindling Annexation resolves indeed hold
out u show of excluding Slavery North of
36 9 30', but that is a deliberate fraud. The
resolve only says Such .Stdies as may be for
med out al territory North of 36 30 shall
be Free lStdieS,' and Texus and her counsel
ors will take precious good care that no
States shall be formed in that way, though
she should be split into dozen. The tri-
umph OF Texas in the pending struggle
would give to Slavery n new domain larger
than New-Engiand, whcreon there is not
now slave aud has not been these twenty
years. There is nothing abstract, theoretical,
coniectural about this matter; the triumph
of Texas is the discontinue of Freedom in
evitabiy. With Texas confined to her right
ful limits,--even with the addition of the
country between the Nueces and the lower
Rio Grnnde, which she has ciutched, most
unnghteousiy indeed, bur we fear beyond
resoyery-there never can be, in our judg-
ment another foot of Slave Territory within
,he present limits of our Union. But let
Texas seize the whole left bank of the Rio
Grande TO its source, and Slavery, thus forti-
fled, will take more whenever she really tries.
