muss for Sunday and a meeting house, so

swearing and raging like demons, declaring that
the minister should not be abused, nor the Sab
bath broken by our internal lies, sc. The low
ers of tho Sabbath, Ministry, Morality and the

these institutions should leave the house, where
upon themselves, amounting to ten or twelve,

THE ANTI-SLAVERY 1BUGLE.
Liberty in Danger.


The National Era publishes an extract Of a
letter from highly intelligent citizen of New
York, now in San Francisco, whose intelligence
ard opportunities of observation entitle his
statements to much consideration, in which the
writer expresses serious apprchensons that sla-
very will yet be admitted into California Many
of the highest officers of the State are from the
South, and while they arc constantly urging
the introduction of slaves, all the public jour
nails arc either silent or speak openly in favor Of
the ,pcculiar institution The writer states
that there is no State in the Union where slave
labor could be more pro6tsbly employed, Cti-
zens Of California who see the impending dam
ger arc about to take decided steps to avert it.
It is reported that a majority of the present Le-
gislaturc are in favor of an amendment 10 the
Constitution abrogating the proyiso against
slavery. All this is but the natural effect OF the
measures of Congress and of the treachery of
the Executive and the leading politicians of the
country.

RIGHT AND WRoNG.-Thc Gcauga Republic
(Whig) is in favor of giving the Blacks the
right of suffrage, and it very pertinontly asks.
"What right have We to disfranchiso this por-
ton of our populations And while We do dis
franchise them what decent excuse can We offer
for further outraging them by compelling them
to contribute to the support of a government
which thus degrades and oppresses them ~
We are sorry, however, that paper which sees
the Right co clearly in one direction should sup
port the Wrong in another, as the Republic
does by advocating the cause of African Colo
nization. That scheme is founded upon the
Atheistic doctrine that the Blacks and Whites
cannot and ought not to live together on terms
of equality their difference of complexion
is an ordination of Providence to keep them
asundor. 1t is the favorito scheme of inyetcr-
ate Shareholders, and always lourishes most
where hatred of the Blacks is most intense
The free colorcd people of this country are al
most unanimous in regarding it as deadly foe
to their peace and happiness. Does the Ropub-
lie think their feelings and opinions unworthy
of considerations

rV-The National Era, Il we do n OF nisiritel

Tho National Era, ii we do not msinter-
pret its words, is opposed to Reorganization Of
the National Liberty Party upon its old princi-
pie of the sinfulness of voting for Shareholders,
and in favor of union of Liberty party mon,
in their several localities, with the anti-slavcry
portions of either of the old parties when they
can thereby secure the election to Office of men
who will oppose tho extension of slavery. The
principle of the coalitions which The Era recon-
mends, for aught we can see-and we certainly
do not desire to deceive either ourselves or 9TH
ers-is precisely that which induced so many
to support Clay in "A to keep Texas out of the
Union, and many moro to vote for Taylor in 4S
in order to prevent tho election of Cass. We
hear no more the cry of the old Liberty Party
leaders for 'Biblc Politics, Righteous Rulers,
SC. Our particular measures, says The Era,
must be determined by circumstances, not by
distractions That is the gist of all the argu-
ments used against the Liberty Party from 1910
to lS4S by the anti-slavery adhcrents to the old
parties. we won't commit ourselves they
said, to any abstraction, (nevcr to vote for a
stakeholder, for example,) but be governed by
circumstancos-holdt the balance of power &C.
The course of the Liberty Party is an exact full
iilnicnt of the predictions of the Old Organized
Abolitionists.

UAnBoRING KIDSAPPERs.--The Pennsylva-
MIA Freeman states that two Marylanders, nam
ed Ennis and Jones, who came to Philadclp phia
in pursuit of slaves, found homo at the house
OF Moses Johnson, Of Arch-st., q prominent
member of Presbyterian Church and an active
supporter of Missionary and Bible Societies.
The claimant Of Euphemia Williams and one Of
his witnesses frequently visited these men, at
Johnson's house, during their stay in the city,
and they went there the night after her release
to vent their disappointment and rage. They
remained in the city during Sunday, and proba-
bly, attended church with their host; but,
alarmed at the popular excitement which had
been produced, they started on a Southern
route, on Sunday night expressing their intcn-
ton to return and accomplish their business,
when the agitation should have subsidized.

seventy miles South of San Francisco, on the

she represents as perfect fairy land. 1t is q

her life there is sacrifice to the interests of her

AMERICAN PEACE SooiErY.-That this Socic-
ty has done great deal of good by calling at
tcntion to the evils of War and the blessings OF
Peace VIC most cheerfully acknowledges but its
propensity to LAY hands upon men but half
converted to its principles on account of their
influence and popularity, has ever been mark
of weakness and folly in those who have man
aged its affairs. This propensity is well illus
tratcd by ono Of tho signatures appended to a
circular, recently issued by the Society, urging
the appointment of delegates to the London
Pe'ce Congress. The signature to which we al
ludc is that of Daniel Sharp, D. D., of Boston,
tho quality of whose peace principles may be
inferred from tho fact that he recently preached
discourse opologising for tho Fugitive law and
urging the duty Of cboying it on Christian (!)
grounds. beautiful disciple and minister ol

TIE PHILADELPHIA FUGITIVE CAsE.-The Free

cited great deal Of feeling and sympathy in
tho city. The hearts of the masses were touch

against the kidnapping law in tones which
Shareholders could not misintcrpret. Frccmcn
felt insultod by the presence of the slavc-catch-
crs, and made their indignation so clearly man
ifcst that the gentlemen thought it advisable
to make a sudden retreat.

CYRUS M. BURLEIon was mobbcd at Colum-

nounced his intention to lecture on the fugitive
law, but the mob locked him and his audience
out OF the hall. They threatened to ride him
on rail- and to give him q suit of tar and
feathers as a testimony to their love of tho
Union and their zeal in the fulflment of their
Constitutional obligations; but friend Burleigh,
having no special desire to cultivate an acquain-
tance with the patriots, kept himself out of their
way. Four of the rioters were bound over to-

Agitation and Agltatiors.


In the U, S. Senate, on the 18th ult., there
was sharp discussion upon the question what
disposition should be made of certain agitating
petitions, which the people, in derogaton of the
sacred Compromises, continue, to pour into that
body. The old question Of the Right of Pc
ttion was raised, and Gov. Seward took strong
ground in its favor, telling the Senate that if
they expected to stop agitation by restricting it
they were certain to be disappointed. Tho
supporters Of the Compromise, by entertaining
Bright's bill, which Is designed to make the Fu-
gtive law more stringent, and thus disturbing
the settlement of last session, had placed
themselves in very awkward position. Gov.
Seward told them to their faces, that "pctitions
to make Slavery laws more stringent, arc rcceiv.
cd and referred. A Bill to mako Fugitive lava
moro rigorous is also referred. Petitions for
the modification of the law of 1850, and TO-
make it less rigorous, arc refused reference"

Law. lie cared little for agitation here, and
