Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1851-12-13

The Bi6lieal Erpositor.- Monthly, edited
by George p Smith, has been removed from
Stubenville to this place. Its mechanical ap-
pearanco has been greatly benefited by tho
change. Mr.. Smiths paper, is devoted to free
inquiry and general reform. Speaking of tho
character of his efforts, the Editor says, ~ am
not confined to scholastic Divinity, or Biblical
theology, but believe there is religion in every
thing that conduces to the good of Man, and
hence am bound to consider all questions in
volving human welfare"
In accordance with these principles the Ex-
positOr appears as the opponent of ofchattol-slavo-
ry and theological despOtism.

A CARD.

Contradictory statements having been made in
regard TO the case Of the fugitive slave recently re
turned 10 our city, ii has been thought proper to re-
cohcile these statements as well as may heN
The tedious delay and heavy expence attending
the case were rather accidental Had it-been prac-
teable to have carried the fugitive on the day of
his arEest before Judge Belts or Judge Judson or
before sscine experienced Commissioner, the. case
wc1iii most probably have been disposed Of in .
few hours certainly during the first or second day.
The opposition and delay caused by the gererpEs
scearfng Of MIR. Jay and certain Of his demerited
eoadlutors should, perhaps rather excite our pity
than our Indignation, evinciRg as il does the in
tensity OF their moral blindness and stupidity Mr.
White, it is believed, took part in this foul pro-
ceeding
The conduct Of the officers Of Government con-
cerned in this prosecution was highly commenda-
bic. Theyperfofmed their duties with much marked
promptness and courtesy.
The course taken by the Union Safety Commute.
was eminehtly praseworthy. The expenses borne
by the committee exceeded $780, while the costs
incurred by the claimant amounted TO about 300
which sum, would also, perhaps, have been paid
by the committee, had IL been deemed proper by
The claimant to have made it known There was
also manifested much personal kindness towards
The agent, BY several members of this Committee,
together with other citizens of New York which
he will long remember with the ivefiest gratitude
And, in conclusion, he desires TO say that he un-
dertoOk this agency from no wish To- lest the act Of
Congress nor the sincerity of the protested Northern
Union men norfrom any personal interest what
ever but wholly from sepse Of high and. very
peculiar Obligations 10 DR.. Smith and that now
in reviewing calmly the whole proceeding in the
case he can find no word of complaint against the
conduct or bearing towards himself Of any res
pecsabe man. with whom be came 10 contact while.
in New York. VIM. w. PARKER

VIRGINIA AND THE UNION.

series Of resolutions was introduced 10 the
House of Delegates, on Saturday, by Mr.. Boiling
Of Buckingham, embracing several very important
propositions touching the position Of the State with
respect toIher federal relations. A motion to post
pone these resolutions indefinitely first rejected
by t'7O votes, and afterwards carried BY one The
result is explained chiefly by the fact that the res
olutions took The house somewhat by surprise
