DEAR MARIUs Half an hour ago | came
across Buge. The first have seen since
left Ohio. Yes VIC have got an Editor
again, aud ] am so glad of it, Somebody
must he at the helm or The Bugle will go
down. J am glad that you have consented
TO take hold aud now every body must take
hold with you. The cause needs it., the sidee
needs it. AholislIing slavery is not II work
TOR Lecturers aud Editors alone, but for
every body. All must bear part in it, for
all huvc the power Some can speak, others
write, third class furnish money, Il don't
hrlicye any can voe) and all tukc the pa
pcrs-nnd pay Tor them TO.
II we could only all feel the proper de-
gree of interest in the paper, it would never
lack for any thing else it needs. 1t would
have subscribers pay down from thcni
1t would have agents, aud busy ones too
IL would receive donations, (nud it needs
lheuI.) Aud it would he enlarged, aud made

now. In short, the whole duty which so.
ciety can owe to is organ, would he surely
and faithfully performed. All that is want
ing is, to feel Tia, the paper is oms--it is our

Abulitionists of the West, my humble
voice comes home TO you from this fhr-Ofl
Land of the PilgrnIs Across the noun
tairs it flies, to mnglo with yours in the
hearty good cheer we bid the glorious Anti
Slavery sheet, which so gallautly bears nIolt
our dsunion blnner think of what it
has cost to plant that standard of the self
sacrificing CXCllious Of the Fosters, tie
Joncscs, aud the Committee, to bring it into
existcnce-of the heroic efforts Of the devot-
ed Abby Kelley Foster TO save it--Iast sum-
mer-l think of all these, aud then think
of the three millions, of slaves whose chnins
il is seeking To unhind, aud my whole soul
prays-God bless aud speed the Buglc =
Let us al take hold together, aud aid it in
the accomplishment OF its heavenly Mis-
sion.
June 4h June lit don't seem possible
il should have come so soon. ] eau hardly
lrlieye il. But just now the SHOWS were on
the ground; then men called it Spring aud
now it is Summer. But when shall Spring
visit the slave? When shall there be pleas
ant June for him?
When shall the Winter of his discomfort
BE glorious Summer, and all his countless
wrongs
In the deep bosom Of the ocean buuicd;'
God haste the day! God, aud man, and
the whole universe, coilspirc TO put an end
to slavery's chcerless, withering Night
THAT has no Morn beyond it, and no Star !
Yesterday and to day, heard the agunent
of the coorcd men now being tried before
the Circuit Court, for assisting in the rescue
of Shadrnch. Its delivery occupied in all
over A hours Mr.. Hale is an able man, and
produced n deep impression, but his speech
was nothing compared with what the occa-
sion demanded. The green witls of the
PhillsIines' Constitution bind him, so that lac
has no power TO make an effort. Charles
Sumner was in the Court Room, so that
had an opportunity to see two of the M
lions Senators (thcy are not mine,) side by
side.
Mr.. Hale was followed by George Lunf,
the United States District Attorney, who
made the most UNANIMOUSLY atrocious speech
ever heard, glorilyng the Compromise
measures, Fugitive Law aud all pity n
man who can so play the part of nean,
soullcss craven, aud get down SO low before
the slave owners us 10 crawl all ulong on his
belly. lie uttered some of the most mon
strous ubsurdiucs possible, aud seemed fairly
mad in his devotion TO slavery. As Mr.
Garrison said aierward, lac blended the in
sanity of bedlam, with the diabolisln of the
pit. lie is Garrson's lownsman and old
schoolmate, both being from Newburyport.
There il some difference between the two
men.
