The Slave Sale at Washington.

We learn through an authentic channel
that the Presbyterian "elder" in Washington
city has finally consummated the sale to the
slave-trader, of the young woman whom I've
has kept through the heat of the summer
confined in filthy pen. She was carried off
TO the South in u gung or collie last week.
Her mother, who is a servant in wealthy
and truly benevolent family, says she had
tried in vain to prevent the loss OF her child,
by offering the prize in money To the "elder'
the full market value. The elder Ufficia-
ted in his place at the communion on the
first sabbath in the present month; aud as
the Church belongs 10 the New School Body,
it is very likely he may be on hand to Off
cute in the same capacity for the General
Assembly when it meets. The slave trade
mt Washington being abolished by the
"conpromise," the sale and Imprisonment
took pluce at Alexandria.-.Neto York Inde-
pendent.
All this is done, and we hear OF no objec-
ton, of no process being issued, of no whIs-
per OF dissatisfaction, on the part of either the
pastor or members of the church Ia which
he bears rule. And with men of this char
acter, professedly anti-slavery people IN the
free States, are holding the closest ecclesl-
ubllCdl COnHeCUOU. lucy su WIN nil ~ 'hC
same communion table, they sit in General
Assembly with his pastor, perchance with
himself, they endorse his Christian " char
ncter, and own him brother beloved in the
Lord. All this is done in Church, which
boasts through its papers hint it occupies u
higher anti-slavery position than any other
large denomination in the country. This is
done by officers of that Church, whose Cen
eral Assembly is represented as having tex
hausted its powers" in opposition 10 slavery
as having done all il can to remove the
evil from its communion.
While these things are done in the Church
every effsrt is put Ufth to retuin in her iel'
lowsbip those who hold such conduct in the
deepest adherence. Those who separated
themselves fiom fellowship with these enor'
mites, are denounced as schsmatics or in
fidels; and the cry is sent forth that 'onI
beloved Zion" win be rent in pieces, If in.
earnate fiends like this elder are cast out

Treason.

Our correspondent &C." wishes to know
''why the murderous action of the brave
blacks Of Chrstana is not treason? II is
clear IL is murder"
Il is neither in our view. Not treaosn
by any possibility of construction, let who
will say so.
Some lawyer arguing case before Chief
Justice MARSHAL, cited authority to prove
an admitted principle, when that great man
mildly rebuked him saying, "Counsel will
take il for granted that the Court know some
thing" And, really, il seems like an insult
TO I've arguing either point started by &c"
before the public. We must take il for
granted it knows something. But let us re-
ply, since reply is challenged.
First, BLACKSTONE, 4th Commentaries,
page 223, declares the law, as TO a mans
home, TO be;
"That in civil society the laws come into
the assistance of the weaker party, aud be-
sides that, they leave him this natural right
of killing the aggrcssor if he can; they also
protect and avenge him in case the might of
the assailant is to powerful. That the law
of England has so particular aud tender n re-
gard to the immunity of mans house that
It styles il his caste, and will never suffer il
TO be violated with impuniiy. For this rea-
son no outward doors can be broken open to
execute any cipi process"
Second, the Constitution of the United
States atiirms:
"That the right of the people 10 be secure
in their persons, houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches aud seizures
shall not be violated, and no warrants shall
issue but upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation, aud particularly descrb-
IN fb, t.lorC IN, ha caaralaI nj tItnoc IN he
seized"
Now, the warrant TO arrest a slave, being
a civa process, aud so admitted TO be on all
hands, the whole case is settled, unless
"C." means either to deny all the facts Of
the Clristiana case, or is ready TO defend
despotism III this Free Republic.--F this is
HdIniiied,-th GoRsUcH, with IA band of
armed men, and without warrant describ-
ing the place to be searched, nssniled the
colored men in their house, and broke into
it, ere a blow was struck by the blacks.
We cannot woste words, or give further
space TO this matter. The blacks of Chris
tiana committed no murder or felony I; nor
the act of treason; and they are not guilty
under the law of man or God. We are for
peace, and we wish to walk in the ways of
peace but il the hand of the stranger breaks
open our door, and treads our hearthstone
with violent design, we will protect il, and
those who cluster round it, il il has TO be
made wet with his life blood And if we
may do this so may any man, whatever his
color, and we will defend him, or the act,
let venomous cowardice clamor as il may.
The fdct is, that this attempt to stretch the
Fugitive Act so as TO cover the cnse of irea-
son is an atrocity TO which the American
people will never submit.-IrIe Dem.

oiced ut being ot last rid of them. The af-
fair Of the refugees cost the Sultan sixty mill
ions Of piasters, or 81 100000. Up TO the
period of their departure, each and every
one Of them continued in the receipt of the
stipend established for him by the Sultan (;
and justice to the Sultan and his government
requires il to be said that though the deten-
tion of the Hungariaus cannot ut the present
enlightened age be pardoned, IL must be
opologised for by the recollection thai il was
forced upon the Sultan by the rnenaces Of
two of the greater powers Of Europe-Rus-
sia and Austria"
The credit of the course pursued by the
Porte in this 'natter is given entirely TO the
young Sultan, who himself formed the de-
termination, in 1849, not to deliver up the
exiles to Austria, and now, has himself fixed
the LIST day of September as the day Of their
release. High praise is also given to Sir
Siratford Canning, the British Ambassador
at Constantnople, (who from the beginning
was warm friend Of the cause of Hungary
for his unwenried councils and exertions,
which had the effect to confirm the Sultan
in the manly and noble position that be had
assumed. His influence bad also the effect
to shorten the term of captivity some two
months, aud he rendered to the Porte on the
part of his Government steamer of war to
convey the Hungarians from the Dardanelles
to Malta,

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Christiana Affair,

Cassandra Warner, the mother-in-law of Par
ker and Pinckney who were concerned in the
Chrsitiana affair, has been returned to slavery
by Ingraham of Philadelphia. CThe wretch
deserves to be made president Of the republic
for his invaluable services. He is the true
saviour of the Union.) The poor woman had
been terrified with threats, violence and insult,
to induce her to reveal the place Of concealment
of her two daughters. The house had been
searched by armed men she was told that the
light horse would be brought up from Philadel-
phia and "cut the nggers all to pieces" and
finally she was dragged to Philadelphia and con-
signed. in her bereavment and old age, to slave
ry.
The inhuman monsters who have done this
deed, attempt to excuse themselves by the shall
low lie that she desired to return. The villains
would gain reputation for benevolcnce. The
Editor of the Freeman took the trouble to in
quire of her, for the truth Of the report. Des-
cribing her appearance and answer, he says I:
The poor old woman, with sadness in her tones
and countenance which touched our heart, re-
Piled" thought might as well go back as
to live So" But now" said she with wo-
begone look, al don't want to go back; o,
don't want to go back"
The Conneautville Courier, among others, CO.
pics the following as piece of news. We
wonder at that, for tho Editor of the Courier is
a man who shows a heart, and is by no means
wanting in good sense.
u1-A singular fugitive slave case has just oc-
CURED in Philadelphia, in which tho slave a
woman Of sixty, has demanded to be sent back
to her master, and the master is unwilling to
receive her. 1t appears, according to her own
account, that her master drove her away to look
for two Of her sons who had absconded a short
time before that having found them they re-
fused to return, and that now she insists on be-
ing sent home by herself in ordor that she may
have comfortable asylum in her old age.

Wisconsin.

Medina, Oct. 4, 1851.


The Democracy of Wisconsin have denoune-
cd the Freesoilers and declared for the Balti-
moro platform. Subsequently to this declsra-
ton the Freesoilcrs held convention and
adopted the following Resolutions.
Whereas, The democratic party of Wiscon-
sin, after having, during its whole existence
since the organization of the State, profcsscd
Freesoil principles, and pledged itself again and
again to maintain them, at its recent State Con-
vention at Madison, Sep, 10, violated all its
promises, renounced all its distinguishing prin-
ciples, and repudiated the doctrines of Free
Soil as 'pernicious, clannish and disorganizing,'
and adopted in tier stead the Baltimore plat
form OF 1886, which denouncos the introduce
ton of the slave question into Congress, and
its agitation among the people, as +" dangerous
to the stability and permanency of the Union,"
and
Whereas, The Slave power is now more def
ant and exacting than ever, threatening the
division of California, the absorption of more
territory from Mexico, and the annexation of
Cuba, and demanding as still more humiliating
concessions from the North the recognition and
establishment of Slavery by the General Gov
ernment, below the parallel of thirty six and q
half degrees of latitude; and,
Whereas, 1t becomes all the citizens of the
Free States in this crisis, to present front
against the further encroachment of the slave
holders -

Kossath and The Hungarian EIiles.

A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Coustnnlnople, under dnie OF
September 5th, gives an interesting account
of the liberation Of Kossuth and his fellow
exiles. lie says;
"The LIST instant was day OF deep inter
est TO M. Kossuth, aud all the other political
refugees detained at Kutayieh. The Sultan,
agreeably to his promise, OH that day, set
i6eln all at liberty. 10 the forenoon of the
Isi, they left the place Of their irksome de-
tenlion for the little town aud port Of Gsm-

were the enemies of fieedom. So with the
Union.
The character Of one Of the parties to the
Union condemns il at once. The Union
with shareholders, formed TO establish JUS
tice What has justice to do with slavery ?
The only Union which slavery asks, or will
consent to, is one for the ovsrthpo,0 ofjustier.
Justice, does the Union ask! Yes, and
grants it. Such justice as the CurtiSes, the
Smiths and McAlisters, grant to the Simses,
and Bouldings, and Cassandras of the
North.
Did Wings and Democrats pass the Fugi-
tive Slave Laws--Annex Texas and Rob
Mexico? They did it at the bidding of, and
for the sake of the Union. What occasion
had the North to perpetrate these outragess ?
But for the Union, Ohio would be to Ken
tucky, as Canada now is. We should not
be in the deplorable condition, MIR. Lewis so
graphically described as "desitute of one foot
Of free SOIL" Without this Union, we should
have no Christiana homicides, or Syracusian
rescues. We should not now be plunged
back for centuries, under the despotism of
High Commissioners and Star Chambers
The necessity for these exists, not in Whig or
Democratic Organizations: but back of that,
in the voluntary confederacy of the North
with the South. The character of the pro-
slavery parties, has originated in the charac-
ter ofthe Union. To beabor the former,
while cherishing the latter, is as sapient a
work, as to beat the leaves and fruit from
the tree, with the hope of destroying its vi
tality, while carefully nurturing and cultiyu-
ting its roots.
