A New Volume.

Our readers win observe that tho present
number of The Buglo is the first of new vol
ume. We call attention to the fact not to make
it the occasion for reviewing the past or of Of
fering pledges for the future, but simply to re-
mind our friends that the present is peculiarly
appropriate time for paying up old scores, re-
newing subscriptions, and doing whatever can
be done to extend our circulation. We arc per-
suaded that an earnest effort 10 procure new
subscribers would, in many places at least,
prove highly successful. Friends will you not
try il at once and with villa
1t is fact which we would gladly hide from
public observation, that the aggregate amount
of arrearagcs now due on The Buglc is nearly
if not quite $l,S00. This large sum is made
up of many individual accounts, each small
in itself, but important as part of the grand
total. We entreat every individual indebted for
tho paper, in however small sum, to send us
the money as speedily as possible, that tho Com
mittee may have the means Of liquidating the
debts incurred in its publication, and of enter
ing upon more extended plans for the promo
ton Of the cause. Friend who ever thou art,
who hast read The Bugle without paying its
price, ics arc talking 10 thee. Dost thou hear
and understand

rV-Thc nomination of Rev. EDWARD SmTH
for Governor by the Freesoilers of this State,
VIC regard as an indication that the prominent
Wing and Democratic members of the party
have so generally returned to their former party
associations that, of the clements which former
ly constituted the Frcesoil organization the only
substantial residuum is the old Liberty party,
itself much the worse for wear, like a topper af-
ter weeks spree, somewhat ashamed of the
company in which it has been found and doubt
full which way to steer for home. Mr.. Smith is
an able man-that is not to be denied-and al
though he has treated the Disunionists as un.
justly as he now finds himself treated by his
party opponents, we take pleasure in saying
that he possesses some traits of character which
command our admiration, and make us regret
that he is not on platform where his influence
against slavery would be moro extensively and
powerfully felt than it can be while he persists
in fishing in the stagnant waters of politics.

The following piece Of singing sarcasm
u foln the recent speech of Thaddeus Ste.
vens on the Texas bribery bill:
May tell Southern gentlemen that think
they mistnke Northern charncterl | admit
that the North, in this aud the other branch
OF Congress, have shown all tho usual syinp-
toms of cowardice. Notwithstanding the
rude aud vulgar assault made Iy the gentle
man from Massachusetts Mr., Ashniunl on
the gentleman from Ohio, [Alr. Giddingsl
ior referring to the acts OF Senators, | crave
his mercy while say, that l believe every
Norihern senator who voted for this T'exas
boundary bill certainly every Northern
wing Senatos--belieyed, and most of them
expressed the belief, that Texas had no
shadow of title to one particle of the soil
Of New Mexico. The gentleman from
Massachusetts ir. Ashmunl this morning
declared his firm belief of the same fact (;
YET they voted and he avows his determine
uon to vote, for bill surrendering to Texus
more than fifty thousand square miles of
New Mexico, aud giving her ten millions of
dollars For what! To buy peace from
nrmed rebels This evidence would GER
tainy, pr1ina .)acie, warrant the conclusion
that the North were towards. But YOU must
conceive that TO DO impossible when YOU re-
member thnt they are the descendants of the
men of Bunkei's Hill, of Lexington, of
Bennington, of Saratoga, aud of Brandy
wine.
Why, sir, it is the effect of mere benevo-
ience. True, we turn pale and trembe some |
what, aud plead aud supplicate, and finally |
yield. II is not the effect of fear, but hu-
manity-the love of rebels! So copious is
the milk of human kindness in the Northern |
breast, that it oycrflows, runs down upon |
the snews and nerves, and mostens and re-
lakes them, so that at the loud voice OF MIN |
ic treason, and the imaginary gleamings OF
Southern bayouets, our frames become con-
vulsed aud our knees snite together. This
is not cowardice, hut beneyolence - the
love of peace! II any should taunt us with
want OF cournge, as they will do, after we
shall have surrendered aud been marched
out of camp with ftirled banners, we can re-
fute II by pointing to our Revolutionary faith
eis, us efiectually as could the Lazaroni of
Rome, by vaunting the courage OF their Tro-
jan ancestors aud showing the brave acts of
mighty Hector before the walls OF Troy, or
of their immediate progenitor, the warlike
Enens, on the plains OF Laitum.
II ought, perhaps, to be confessed, that
there Is another cause that operates upon
our commercial and moneyed communities.
The price of stocks-the cent per cent. are
vital aDd sensitive parts of their nature,
which il is their amiabe duty TO themselves
10 nourish. The pocket lies close to the
heart and often affects it with involuntary
tremor. But this is not mercenary interest,

The FUGITIVE BILL.-The following is
the vote upon the final passage of this infa-
nous bill in the Senate:
YEAs-Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Barn

Dawson, Dodge of Iowa, Downs, Foote,
Houston, Hunter, Jones, King, Mangum,
Mason, Pearce, Rush, Sebastian, Soule, Spru-

| Bright, Clarke, Clay, Cass, Clemens, Dickin-
son, Douglas, Ewing, Fitch, Hale, Hamlin,
Miller, Morton, Norris, Phelps, Pratt, Seward,
Shields, Whitcomb-2l.
The only Northern men who voted yea
were Dodge and Jones of Iowa and Sturgeon
of Pa. The absence of Seward is accounted
for by sickness, and perhaps some others
have an equally good excuse; but most of
the absentees We're dodgers. Mr. Davis, of
Mass, offered an amendment to authorise the
sending of an agent to look after free color
ed seamen or citizens from the North who
may be imprisoned or deprived of liberty in
southern ports. This led TO an animated de-
bate-Messrs. Davis, Winthrop and Baldwin
ably sustaining it, and Butler, Berrien and
Jefferson Davis earnestly opposing it. The
amendment was rejected by large majori-

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
CazenoVia Convention.

The proceedings of this Convention ought
to have been noticed last week, aud they de-
serve more attention now than our limits
will allow us TO bestow upon them. The
Convention was designed as gathering of
Fugitive Slaves and their friends for mutual
counsel and sympathy, and was held at Ca
zenovia, Madison Co., N. Y, Aug. 2lst. and
22d. Ii was largely attended, the number
present having been estimated by some at
1000. A considerable number of Fugitives
were there, and among them Frederick
Douglass and the Edmonson sisters. FIRE.
derrick Douglass was chosen to preside.
The case of w. l.. Chaplin naturally oc-
cupied much of the time aud attention of the
meeting, which was composed chiefly of
those who were personally acquainted with
him. A large Committee was appointed, to
be known as the Chaplin Committee, to
adopt such measures as they may think ne
cessary to secure his liberation and il was
proposed to rOise within thirty days the sum
of $4,000 for this purpose. Hon. J. II. Gid
dings is one of the Committee. A Commit
tee of females was also appointed to obtain
by contributions of ten cents each sufficient
means TO purchase silver pitcher, pair of
silver goblets, aud gold medal, with appro-
pirate inscriptions thereon, to be presented
to Mr.. Chaplin as n testimonial of the regard
felt for him by the friends of the slave. Jo-
seph G. Hathaway gave deeply interesting
account of his and Miss Theodosia Gilberts
interview with MIR. Chaplin in prison.
Two addresses were offered TO the Con-
vention by the Fugitives in attendance and
adopted, viz: An Address TO the American
Slaves from those who have fled from Ame-
rican Slavery and an Address to the Liber-
~ Party, recommending the nomination of
MIR. Chaplin for President. The Address to
the Slaves advises them to take their mas
ters' horses, food, clothing and money to eff.
feet their escape, even if they have to break
locks to accomplish it. 1t tells them that
the Aboltionists on whom il is safe to RELY.
are almost all ofthem members either of the
American nt-Slavery Society or the Liber
ty Party. 1t tells them that they will be
comparatively safe in New England or New
York, but warns them not to stop within the
Judicial Circuit of Judge M'Lean and to be-
ware of Prof Stuart. It also wurns them
against pro-slavery churches aud parties,
and bids them be of good cheer and not
to despair of deiverance. I'VE mean to
publish this Address at some future time.l
The resolutions of the Convention are
bigh-toned, showing that the Convention
was oppossdt to all 4coWPpQmises- -aadotral.

0PPersons going to California, or who
are desirous of such information as will ena-
bic them to decide in relation thereto, are re-
ferred to the advertisement of Arnold Buff
fun g. Co., in this paper. II will be seen
that their references are of the most respec-
table character. At time when such ex-
tensive frauds are practiced upon emigrants
going to California, it is important to have
some reliable persons ut the port of depar-
ture, and aid, if need be, in making suitable
arrangements for the passage.

SLAvkHoLDERs' Row.-We have an nc
count Of some sluveholders' row about once
a week lately. The last case recorded oc-
Cured in Macon, Ca, week or ten days
since. 1t appears TINT letter was publish
ed an the Macon Citizen, dated Atlanta, Au-
gust 2lsi, which spoke severely against a
building which is being erected in Atlanta
for the confinement and sale of negroes. A
meeting Of c,tiZeus OF Macon was held to
consider the tnatteE A committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the editor and demand
lhe name of the writer, aud TO inform him
that he should not publish another number
Of his paper ia Macon. The name was
given up, aud the further publication Of the
paper Is held 10 abeyance.
Here we see how precious in the sight OF
shareholders is that provision of the U. S.
Constitution which guarantees the freedom
Of the press. A building is erected in At
lauta for the storage, Of human beings for
sale an editor Ia Macon, another town
some miles distant, dsapproyes of the con-
cern; Immediately he is nlobbed by the peo-
pls Of Macon and his paper suspended, aud
he too probably barely escaped being sus.
pended also. This is glorious liberty - Esse1
freeman.

GAINES ADDnEss.-The eloquent address
delivered at Cleveland on the First of August,
by our colored brother, VIM. ]. Gaines, of Gin
cinnati, has been kindly forwarded to us for pub
lication. We have no room for it this week,
next week our paper will not bo published, and
the number for the week following will be so
largely occupied by the proceedings of the An
niversary as to preclude the hope of finding a
place for it. As by that time it must in some
measure have lost its freshness, perhaps we may
feel constrained to decline its publication alto
gether. We wish our friends who desire the
insertion of such documents in our columns
would forward them more promptly.

Correspondence of The True Democrat.
SEPTEMBER 4th.
GENTLEMEN; You will recollect that
'Ia4S6 s6N6 0iila IsiSaa iis siSvts Mr. e5sSck
ofSouth Carolina, attempted TO escape
One Of them was young woman said TO be
perfectly white and rumor says she bore a
striking resemblance TO her masters family;
wns very intelligent aud valuable. The two
young nieh have proved themselves heroes.
They were re-captured and taken TO the jail
here, erected with the money of the people.
MIR. Colcock is said TO have called and in-
terrogated them concerning the girl in order
to ascertain the girls place of refuge. They
refused TO make disclosures. Mr.. Colcock's
renOnstrance with them was of no avail
They persisted in their refusal. They were
accordingly stripped and whipped until their
backs were lacerated TO jelly. They de-
clared they would die before they would ex-
pose the girl or 90 back to South Carolina.
Que of them is said to be mau OF unusual
intelligence and determination of purpose.
He assured his muster, us il is said, that il
taken back TO the South and his fettcrs
once taken off, he would be the death OF
the first white man who should lay violent
hands OH him.
lhey were kept III prison untli thls morIl-
ing, when MIR. Colcock, in company with
another gentleman, went to the jail with two
carriages. The two slaves were then cluin-
ed to each other aud placed in one carriage,
while the master ard his assistant took seats
in the other. They then started for the
steamboat wharf, but stopped at the store OF
MIR. Savage, on the Avenue, in order to get
handouts. AS the carriages stopped, the
slaves jumped out and ran for the canal,
with the evident intention of jumping into it
in order TO terminate ut once their sliilerings
and service. The cry of Stop the fug-
tiyes" was raised, aud several men strove to
stop them. The first was knocked down,
but the boys were stopped. Seeing their
determination, the owner took them back to
the prison, where they are again lodged.
THIS has been done under the laws of the
United States, enacted and now sustained
by Congress. Yours.

DEATH OF JAMES FuLToN, JR.--With feelings
of sincere regret we record the sudden demise
of our anti-slavery friend and brother, James
Fulton, Jr., of Ercildoun, Chester Co., Pa. He
was 81 years of age, and has fallen victim to
over-exertion in behalf of the cause he 50 deep
ly loved. Of late years he has been chiefly in
tcrestcd in the political aspects of the slavery
question, but he had warm anti-slavery heart,
and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew
him,

for hope that he will be able to attend the Ami

reason, would be matter for deep regret, how
much moro when the cause of that absence is

EDITORIAL BREyITIES,


The New York Observer and other RELIGIOUS
papers made great fuss, some years ago. be-
cause On Ant-Slavcry Convention advised
slaves to take their masters horses to expedite
their escape from Slavery. 1t accused the abo-
ltionists of direct connivance at stealing, and
held up its pious hands in borror at such an ov-
idence of their depravity. 1t seems, however,
that the Court at Harrisburgh has decided that
the act in question is not stealing at all-that it
is not a crime in the eye of the law for slave
to ride off horse TO secure his freedom. What
will the Observer and its cronics say nowi
Root Of Ohio moved tho other day to amend
the territorial bill so as cffectually to prevent
the introduction of Slavery into the territories.
He made short and piquant speech, stating
that his object was to get a direct vote upon the
proviso, and not to allow its northern opponents
to hide under the assumed garb of friendship for
that measure, from tho searching scrutiny which
the people would institute into their conduct
He would smoke the doughfaccs out of their
holes. There seems no possibility of avoiding
the vote.
