Products OF Slave Labor.

EDINBURGH, March 2nd, 1851.
FRrxxD OLIVER: 1t is out of my province to
write for publication, yet as an Abolitionist who
feels most keenly for the wrongs of the slave,
and whose desire it is to labor and to see others
laboring in the most effectual manner for the
overthrow of the accurscd system, am induced
10 write few lines, for the consideration of the
friends of theslave. have long looked in vain
for some expression through the Bugle, upon
subject which appears to me to be at the very
foundation Of the institution of slavery, and in
wolves the aboltionists in responsibility which
II becomes them well to consider. Irefer to the
use Of the products of slave labor. have
never been satisfied with the death-like silence
on that subject which reigns among dis
unionists. Slavery is but an overgrown shoot
from the great tree Of avarice, whose branches
overspread the earth. and whose roots are
interviewer into all the ramifcations of So
eiety. II Il the profit which induces the
Shareholders to hold property in man. and all
the attendant crueltes of the system are but to
increase those profits and render them more Sc
sure. And the advantages to him are in direct
proportion to the demand for the avails Of slave
labor. Consequently when the demand for it ia
low, slaves fall in value, when high they rise.
Thus we see that It Is old-bloodod ayarice,
hsllish dsss ior gain, that stiles all the promp-

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
For The Bugc.
Thoughts upon the Death Of Ophelia Adelaide
Whincry.

A week ago thy hopes were bright,
Thine eye then beamcd with hope and light,
Among companions gay and wild .
Thou vast joyous, happy child.
The smile OF hope was on thy brow,
Tho world seemed all enchantment now,
Long gazed we in that eye, TO sec
The promise Of what yet would be.
We met again-that brow was cold,
That form was wrapt in snowy fold,
Shroudcd that eye in Deaths dim haze,
1t answered not our earnest gaze. ..
Each budding hope was blighted now,
Deaths calmness rested on that brow,
That heart that beat with JOY untold,
Was motionless, and still, and cold.
With sorrowing eye, and measured tread,
They bore thee to thy resting bod,
And smile of Spring, and Autumn's sigh,
Unknown, uncnrcd, will pass thee by.
And she who watched thy cradle sleep,
Full oft will turn aside to weep;
One voice is hushed-one step has fled
One vacant chair-onc with the dead.
And such is life-to-day we bloom
Tomorrow, rest we in the tomb.
To-day our hopcsarc wild and high,
Tomorrow, still and cold we lie.
And when the grave has claimed our forms,
When heed VIC not the wintry storms,
Is mind unconscious, still, and dead
While centuries roll above our head,
Must budding hopes too bright to die
With our still forms all blighted liel
Must high-souled love and genius sleep
All buried in oblivion's deepi
Oh! say not so-we journey here
On trial for another sphere.
And spirits that explore the mine
For mighty thoughts, that flashing, shine,
Those that have labored well, and long,
Defending right, and crushing wrong,
These but dcsist their labors great
To progress in another state.
Though age is infancy again,
Think not that mind no more will reign;
How oft the aged hero seems
Dying away in vague, dim dreams,
But tell him of the siege and sack,
The hidden fire of youth comes back;
A moment breaks lcthargic sleep,
Then dreams again his senses steep.

Song Of the Siren.

Not few of the honest opponents of the Fu-
gitive law arc in danger of beirg lullcd into q
fatal slumbcr by the siren notes with which cum
ming political leaders are endcavoring to allay
the agitation which that law has excited. To
such we commend these timely words of the
Loiren american:
The Fugitive Slave Law is an abomnn-
BILE and tyrnnnous law, and ought forthwith
10 he abrognted. Most men, hercabouts, al
nit this, but some of them say il ought to be
obeyed until it is repealed. That is all thai
its trainers ask for. They only desire acqui
escence nnii u is repealed, for they hnve con
fi,lence that it people begin to put up will
il, they will gradually become used TO il, and
| the Northern conscience will finally become
so dendened that no repeal will be asked for.
There is great danger OF this. The only
way to secure repeal is TO show that the
people are determined il SHALL NOT be en-
forced. When that determination is made
known, the business of repeal will be facili-
tated very rapidly, or it not, it will he of no
great consequence. II the men who say we
should take measures for repeating the law,
would give their aid TO such measures, there
would be some encouragement. But these
are the very men who are determined, so
far us they are concerned, that the law shall
he enforced. They are the men who call
upon members of Congress to VOTE Down
agitation, aud who justify the insolencc orthe
U. 5. Sennte in refusing to notice petitions
signed 10y thousands of free citizens, asking
for repeal. There is no prospect OF immc-
diale repeal; it will take years of active ef-
fort to bring about that result. In the mean
while shall the people stand still and see tho
bloodhounds of slavery seize and carry Off
men, women and children, upon rumpery
evidence that any peuured scoundrel can
bring forward? We say, NO. Amen and
Amen

A new work, entitled Jamie Parker the

with very lifclikc sketches of oversecrs and
other hangcrs-on of Slavery.
Eight persons, we believe, have been bound

had long been careful reader of the Liberator,
and though he dissented from many of the
views held by Mr.. Garrison upon many sub
jccts, yet he saw throughout his paper the evil
dence of true Christian principle, and believed
the editor to be Christian, in the true sense of
the word. Such ministers are very rare.

To do justice though the heavens fall, is max
I'm, the triteness of which is too often allowed to
render its truth the less impressive In these
days, especially, when VIC of the South feel that
we have to face deadly enemies, in the anli-slave-
ry propagandists of the North, it is difficult to dis,
eliminate between our real foes and those upon
whom suspicion raay be improperly thrown. With
natural jealousy, we are perhaps too apt TO
impute hostile intentions to all who are not
shareholders like ourselves. Thus, when Col.
Richardson ofIlnos wrote a note to Mr. Fill
more, which he took care to get published in the
New York Herald, telling the President that he
was informed and believed that Mr. A. Williams.
U. s. Attorney in Hin OILS. had uttered sen,i-
ments in regard 10 the Fugitive Slave Law which
were inconsistent with faithful discharge OF
his official duty, the Richmond Enquirer readily
jumped to the Colonel's conclusion, and called up.
on the President to turn Mr. Williams out of Of
fee. We could not but notice the circumstance
that Col Richardson's accusation was made upon
hearsay only, and was therefore far from present.
ing satisfactory ground for the removal demanded.
Our allusion to the matter has elected the fol.
lowing communication from gentleman whose
statements, we assure the public, are perfectly
reliable:
