Every day is pregnant with indicative events
death seems to riot, not in festive halls, but amid
he great ofour nation. But the other day, Pres
ident made his exit III quick succession from the
Executive Chamber and life. And now scarcely
had his successor adjusted the insignia of office
upon him before he laid them aside for the quiet
uniform OF the grave. The greatest of our nation
have lately been called away ;-and new events
are reaching us daily from quarters OF the lobe
Disasters pour their saddened train upon us-the
lightning is forever transmitting the intelligence OF
3some awful accide2t-and even now, while write,
the smoke OF a burning city is ascending. Every
/ thing in the political world, denotes the coming of
] some greater agitation. Nature, too is not dumb
the icebergs Of the North, bu. few weeks, have
DESTROYED all entire fleet. The cholera, like de-
3stroying angel, is towering over our land. A com.
let, after an absence of more than two hundred
syears, is sweeping over one of our hemspheres-
which it illuminates with its lirniab!e torch-and
or aught We know,
-"Frun It's fiery hair.

We do not pretend to say that such things are

sieve that the analogy between the moral and phys
aical worlds is closer than Philosophers, too often,
are willing to admit.

FRIEND JoHNsoS:-At large meeting Of tho
citizens of Grafton, (Loran County, OIL con.
sisting of all political parties and all religious
persuasions, convened to take into consdora-
ton the late infamous law of Congress called
the Fugitive Bill, the following resolutions, re-
ported by committee appointed at previous

Slave Bill is, in our view, gross and pal1abls
violation OF tho Constitution of the United
states contravencs the positive law of God TO
iced the hungry and clothe the naked is at
war with the fundamental principles of our gov
emment; subversive both OF our civil and relg-
ious ireedom-is II burning disgrace to our ma.
tion' and endangers the dearest rights Of eveTy
American citizen.
Resolved, That we cannot but feel indignant
at every attempt to enforce said law. We will
ieed the hungry and clotho the naked in the
person OF the fugitive slave, this Bill 10 tho
contrary notwithstanding, and we shall Wow
ana treat with adherence and contempt all per-
sons who shall attempt its execution, and
though we ever have been q law abiding people
so odious and iyrannical and subversivc of ev-
cry principle Of liberty are the requirements Of
said Bill that we will resist with our utmost A.
bility all its demands.
Resolved, That those Northern Senators and
Representatives who voted for this Bill outraged
the known feelings of their constituents, and
those Others no less guilty who basely lodged,
or being present failed to vote against it, should
meet the indignant rebuke. and be ever after
held as unworthy the confidence of every north
crn freeman.
Resolved, That the proceedings Of this
meeting be published in the Elyria Courier.

The KIDNAPPING LAW commands all good
citizens to aid and assist in the prompt and ef-
Rcient execution of this law, whenever their
services may be required" The law itself at
tachcs no penalty for refusing to obey this com
mand, but it should be known that by gener-
al law previously passed it is made mi'dcmean-
or to refuse or neglect to join the posse cOmitd-
tus, when commanded by an officer, and that
the offence is punishable by fine and imprison-
mcnt. Any man, therefore, who simply refuses
or neglccts to join slavc-hunt, though he may
not lift finger to help the fugitive, or in any
way interfere with the execution of the law, is
Liable to severe punishment. Tell it not in

of the country seemed rolled rs mountains
on his single shoulders. There he stood
alone from all New England, until his hon
orabe friend from New Hampshire. Senator
Norris stepped into the breach by his side, TO
survive or perish in one last, desperate effort
TO snntch the country from impending ruin.
Then too, he told them of the firm faith OF
those other Democratic Coniessors, Senators
Cass, Douglass, Bright aud Fooie, whose
terrible baptism in the conflict, had purchas-
ed for them all Nations golden crown.
remember them all, said he, no longer as po-
ltical foes. The feud is ut an end. Here
after | shall think of them, only as old
soldiers think of each other ufter they have
fought together, survived and won some
mighty battle.
Senator Norris replied in n speech of as
much power ns he possesses. General Low
also spoke with his usual and more than his
usual power and pothos. So also General
Pierce. lie told " the godIike to he of good
cheer, for it his old political friends oban-
doned him, there were those in the country
who knew the value oflis public services
Aud the New Hampshire Patriot preten DIS
now to consider him as pretty nearly, if not
altogether indicted in to the Democratic
communion.
In the face of these developments, and
many others of similar character, have no
hesitation in pronouncing Daniel Webster
the wilIul murderer of the Wing party of
Massachusetts To he sure, the party seems
to have died by suicide. But then he coun-
selcd the taking of the poison. lie declared
the fatal lIemlock was only neediu draught
of the Elixir of life. His counsel wns heed
ed, and now the party lies shroudcd and
coiiined, waiting the undertaken aud tie
tomb. God grant it may have no part in
"the First Resurrection "-aor The last.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
IYriasn for the A. S. Buge.
Lines on the Passage Of the Fugitive Bill.
ny ELLEN c. DrckrRsoN.

In vain-in vain yc seek to bind
Free spirits to your will !
Tint love which blcsscs human kind
Will burn in Freemen still.
Go forge the fettcr for tho slave
Ye'vc crushed, and beat, and slain,
Yet know that Freemen dare be free
In spite of rack or pain.
In vain yc seek to qucnch the fire,
In vain to still the flood;
We worship here Higher Law
1t is the LAW OF GoD.
And shall We bend the scrvile knee,
And bow the willing head
Move are Frcemcn-darc be free
We're not by tyrants led.
Go, stay the rushing cataract,
And bind it with cord;
Go bid the swelling breeze be still
Will lit obey your word'
As needless of your threats arc We,
As strong to do our will,
For we are Frccmen--ieiR be free,
And dare your fctters still.
Then bind your iron chain anew
On him ye love to wrong,
And scourge, and kick, and torture too,-
Ye cannot do it long.
Brave hearts arc swelling like the sea
That bursts upon the main;
For we arc Frccmcn-mist be free
To break the tyrant's chain.
Your hunted slave shall yet find rest,
Aud peace, and plenty here,
And FREEDOM, to the human heart
More than all treasures dear;
Then search him meath forest tree,
Or in the brake lone;
But know that Frcomcn yet are free
To give the slave home.

This 'billing and cooling between Webster and
his old political enemies is very significant
That there is plan to form a new party, COM

the anti-slavcry agitation, we entertain no doubt.
Webster, the great black cat of the concern. is
already beginning to shake off the meal and
show himself in his true colors.-Ed. BuJls.

BosToN, Friday, Nov. Is.


The meeting in Fanueil Hall for the rccep-
ton Of Geo. Thompson was very large, aud
the galleries contained many ladies' Ed
mund Quincy presided. When Mr.. Thomp-
son entered the Hall he was greeted with
shouts Of applause from his friends mingled
with Kisses.
WIN. Lloyd Garrison commenced the pro-
ceedings by reading the address of recep-
ton, containing history of MIR. Thompson's
movements in the Anti.Slavery cause in Eng
laud aud this country and concluded by
stating that just fifteen years og o he was obli-
ged to fly clandestinely from this country,
but said the speaker, "The Boston of 1885
is not the Boston of lS50-The Massachu-
sets of 1850 is not the Massachusetts OF
1885," Loud cheers.
Toward the close of Mr.. Garrison's re-
marks tho meeting began to be disorderly
and when he finished many cheers were Civ
EN- for Daniel Webster and the Union.
Wendell Phillips next assembled the plat
form, but was greeted with groans, Kisses,
and exclamations which completely drowned
his voice. Loud cheers were again given for
the Union, Daniel Webster and for Governor
Briggs and Jenny Lind MIR. Phillips ap-
pealed TO them to hear Mr.. Thompson, aud
wine off the stain of 1885 when Boston
drove him off n fugitive. lie then retired
and Mr.. Thompson took the stand, but in
stantly the Hall became perfect bedlam of
noise and confusion. lie tried to speak but
i'm vain. Cheers were reiterated for the
Union and Webster, intcrminged with
groans, cat calls and Kisses. After remain
ing upon the stand for some time he bowed
TO the audience and was about TO retire, but
his friends would not permit him. A chair
was handed him aud he sat down fronting
the audience.
From this time the rioters had il all their
own way. Groans were given for John
Bull, n ring was formed on the floor, and one
or two commenced to dance. Abby Kelley
was called for and endeavored to speak but
after uttering few sentences stopped.

mysterious rappings' have been heard in the
congregation of Rev. Theodore Parker in Bos-

glass of the chandelier in apparent confirmation
of remark made by the preacher, and were
heard all over the house. They were also heard
in response to his hearty dcnunciations of the
Fugitive Law!

GEORGE TnoMPsoS.-1he Libcrator Of the
10th inst. announces that gathering Of the
friends of Reform, International Amity, and
Universal Emancipation would take place on
that evening in Fancuil Hall to congratulate
Mr.. Thompson upon his arrival in this country,
and to sympathisc with him in the various re-
formatory movements in which he has been so
honorably distinguished. Addresses were to
be delivered by Mcssrs Thompson, Garrison,
Douglass and Phillips, and the meeting was no
doubt one of thrilling interest. What u change
in public opinion has taken place in fifteen
years In, 1885 Mr.. Thompson was denounc-
ed in Foncuil Hall by Otis, Sprague and Fletch-
or, Boston's most renowned orators, and q
ruflianly mob were thirsting for his blood
Now the walls of that same old building echo
the magic eloquencc of his voice, and admiring
thousands gather within them to bid him well
come. The thought of listening, on the same
evening, to four such speakers as Thompson,
Douglass, Garrison and Phillips Is it not
enough to set brain and heart OH fire;
p. S. Since the above was in type we have
received the New York Tribune of the 10th,
in which we find the following telegraphic
dispatch:

paper states that most of the fugitive slaves in
that city are armed.

The penny a-liner. who does the New York
correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette, tries
hard to DO witty over the imposition practiced
upon the abolitionists by black loafer, who
passed himself off for fugitive slave and thus
obtained money enough to support himself du-
ring the winter. Why, bless, you man, that is
nothing to the exploit of another dark colored
man, who lately raised $4,000 among the Cot
ton dealers of Gotham upon the pretencc that
he had stopped the antislavery agitation!

lying down together! The Lowell American
says that Freesoil speaker, having read this
pious effusion, remarked that he had under
stood that the association of the lion and the
lamb was evidence of the millennium, but he
had never heard that that event was foretold
from the fact that the hedgehog and tho skuak
