Anniversary Of the American A. s. Society.
SYRACUSE. May 8. 1851.

SYRACUSE, May 8, 1851.
DEAR FRIBND; The American Anti Slavery
Society has been in session, in City Hail. in this
City, holding its Anniversary, for two days.
Most of the time, the meetings have been fully
attended. George Thompson, w. i. Garrison,
Gcrrct Smith, Edmund Quincy, A. X. Foster,
F. Douglass, Parker Pilsbury, ]. w. Walker,
and many others are present. William Goodell
is here, whose name in years past, has been a
tower of strength in the Anti Slavery cause.
Many are here from Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania, and several from Ohio-somc from
Clinton county.
We have had an Anti-Slavcry Jubilee. Such
a meeting together of Anti Slavery spirits Its
good to be here, to mingle sympathes on this
great question of humanity,..is most rcdeeming
in its influence. The question Of dissolution
has been most prominent. Many are looking
at it in this region thing which is ere long to-
happen-something to be seen, heard and felt at
no distant day. Converts are multiplying like
dew-drops of the morning. This Federal Union
is fast loosng its hold on the affections of tho
people, The feeling is spreading that It has
been total failure. Instead of being the sup
porter of liberty and justice it is the habituRl
perpetrator of slavery and injustice. This con-
fedoracy has been the deadliest enemy of hu-
man rights. Revolution Is the watchword Of
this Convention. Allegiance to the constitu-
ton Of the United States is treason against the
Most High God.
George Thompson has done good seryico.
He carrys the people with him. ! have tried
to get him to Ohio, but he is to return to Eng
land the first of June, and cannot come. Ho
says he shall return to this country next fall
and continue Acre sometime, and that he shall
then como to o hio and stay there some months.
Frederick Douglass says he will attend the
Anniversary of the Western A. s. Society in
June. lie expects to be in that state in that
month. Parker Pillsbury says that he intends
to spend few months in Ohio the coming sea-
son, and that he will soon write to you about il.
Several from Ohio and other places had
talk about the cause in Ohio. There is but
one feeling about it, and that is, that Ohio is
in the Union in reference to the question Of
Slavery. 1t is border State; it's intercourse
with and influence on the slave States lying in
the Mississippi valley, give to it incalculablo
importance. Do not give up the Buglc. 1t
must not be given up. believe nine tenshs Of
the readers of The Buglc would rather contri-
butte 80 cents each, above the subscription prico
of the paper, rather than it should go down, or
be merged in any other paper. Abolitionists of
Ohio, and Indiana, readers of the Bugle in tho
West, do not let that paper be given up for
want of so cents from each of its subscribers
1t is the only paper of the west that advocates.
the great and holy cause of Dissolution or
ABOLITION But 1 must stop, you will hear
from me again.

WOmen's Rights Convention.

At Convention OF Women held in Salem in
April last, it was resolved that we tho women of
Ohio will meet annually in Convention to con-
suit upon and adopt measures for the removal
of the various disabities-polftical, social, rel-
gious, legal and pecuniary-to which women, ,as
class, are subjected, and from which result SO
much misery, degradation and crime.
The undersigned were appointed Committee
to issue call and make necessary arrangements
for the Convention of the present year.
As men end women have the same origin and
destiny, and can therefore have no legitimate
aims or interests independent of each other-As
their relations and obligations arc mutual-us
the bonds that unite them ore inevitable and
iEdissolu5le-as whatever dcgraflcs or ennobles
one has a corresponding effect on the other-it
is fitting that men should cooperate with US in
our efforts at emancipation from the ignorance
and thraldom of ages. We therefore cordially
invite all the friends Of Self Government and
Human Equality to meet in Convention at
AKRON, Summit Co., on WEDNESDAY,
28th of May next, at 10 o'clock in the morning.
~ ul the itiehus VI iteiorHi, III WHuteVcr ue-
partment engaged, VIC say-Come, give us your
presence and counsel. Give it for the sake of
our cause Give it because none of the kindli-
or efforts to alleviate humanity can fully realize
their objects while one-half the laborers in Re-
form are disfranchiscd by law, perverted by
education and degraded by the opinions and
customs of society. War will continue to- do
vastate the nations-Slavery, political and per-
sonal, will crush acknowledgements and
Sensuality will pollute the earth, while so much
of the moral power which should be arrayed
against them is lost by the position Woman
now occupies. c. d. SMALLEY,

The Administration with lis Whig Con.
StituentS.

The cxtrncts below are specimens of the
present feelings of portion of the Northern
Wings, by no means insignificant in numbers
or influence, toward the administration which
they voted land entreated us TO vote) into
power.
The Oneida N. Y. Herald, Wing paper,
thus gently applies the scourgc TO its Presi-
dent, for his prescription of the Northern
Wings who were reluctant TO serve in his
slave-hunting expeditions. MIR. Fillmore
will lie as little delighted with " such back
ing" as was Falsiaff.
"Side by side, on the pages ofhistory, shall
be placed the names of John Tyler and
Millard Fillmore; and on the same dark list
shall appear the kindred names of Judas
iscariot and Benedict Arnold.
"Clothed with'a little brief authority, Mil
lard Fillmore has cut himself loose from the
Wing party, and betaken himself--so we
suppOse-io the formation of a new organi-
zation. We propose as a title for his cor
poral's guard, the JUDAS CLIQuE."
The Albany Evening Journal says:
"If, as is alleged, Mr. Fillmore has Wing
enemies, nothing could delight them so
much as TO see him thus following in the
footsteps of John Tyler.
I'VE are quite unprepared to "break COW
er" on the Presidential question. MIR. Fill
more is serving out the last half of General
Tay lor's term in way that relieves the
Wing party of all concern about him. A
Wing President who sgnalizes his debut by
the prescription Of the Boston Atlas, .Ne,r
Hampshire Statesman, Portland .AdueriiSer
Keene Sentinel and Montpelier Hatchman, has
of course, repudiaied the Wing party. lie is
we suppose, to be the candidate Of the Castle
Garden Cotton party, and will, doubtless
: have good time OF it, The Wing party
will, in due time, designate its candidate.-

HunkrriSm.

The Boston Courier, like all other Hunker
papers, is very indignant at the election of
Sumner, and has finally concluded that lie,
MR. Sumner)"by consenting TO be'elected
has rendered himself liable 10 imprisonment in
the STATE Prison for period Of not more than
ten years, or By fine, not erceeding .fue thousand
dollars, " and imprisonment in the County
Jail for not not more than two years." II is
quite amusing to lockers on to see the una
vailing rage of defeated politicians. For
our part, we think if such men us Sumner
deserve imprisonment for participating in
politics, we can conceive of no adequate
punishment for such veterans as Webster and
his allies who have been engaged for so large
a part of their lives in political chicanery.--
First pluck out the beam that is in thine
own eye, then shalt thou sec clearly the mote
that is in thy brothers eye"

Woman, Her Position and Duties.

Mrs. Goes lectures on this subject in Marlbo.
rough on Sunday and Monday last, were item
ded by crowded audiences. A deep interest
was manifested in the subject by all present.
1t was feared by some unacquainted with Mrs.
c. that tho high commendations she had receiy-
cd from the press, had placed her in position
dangerous to her reputation as speaker. And
many abatements were made by those resolved
not to be disappointed. But whatever were tho
expectations of the audience they were fully
realized in the rhetorical, intellectual and NOR
al character Of the addresses More than this
we cannot say, for seldom has any speaker re-
ceivcd higher commendations than Mrs. c.
But however big our estimate of her as an clc-
giant writer and accomplished speaker our ad-
miraton of her moral heroism far exceeds il all.
Goadcd by the wrongs and injustice inflicted
upon her scx-contcmplating these wrongs in
their terrible influence upon both sexes and
upon every phase ofsocicty ;-promptcd by hu-
manity and tho sympathics of o true woman S
hoart-sho has come forward to do battle,
against law and popular sentiment, in behalf Of
justice and humanity. This is true heroism.-
And Mrs. Coo and her co-adjutors destined as
they are to success, (thcir truthful position and
energetic action giving undoubted assurance, of
this), will gain for themselves .aurcls, that
statesmen and heroes will ever envy, but can
never gain.
Mrs. Coo, after meeting the appointments,
announced in The Bugle, will attend the Con-
vention at Akron-many other distinguished
and ablc friends of reform, men and women will
also contribute to the interest of the meeting
Its importance cannot be estimated. A
feast of fat things may be expected, and We an
ticipatc grand results from this assembly of the
true hearted.-R

Balm Of Healing.

The following Call, signed by some five
or six thousand names, appears in the New
York papers
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION,
WITHOUT TDlSTlNCTION OF PARTY.
In view of the services and sacrifices of
the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, in maintaining
inyiolate the Constitution and laws of his
country, in contrast with the recent act of
the Mayor aud Aldermen of Boston, in refl-
sing the use of Faneuil Hall 10 the friends of
that gentlemen, to congratulate each other
on the recent verifcation Of his representa-
tons regarding that ancient Commonwealth;
and in view, also, of the refusal of the Leg
isature of New York TO invite Mr.. Webster
TO visit Albany, as the guest of the State in
dignilies cast upon that distinguished states
man by aboltionists and others opposed TO
his patriotic course; the Undersigned, citi-
zens of New York, respectfully invite Mr..
Webster to visit this city, at some period
convenientto himself in order that they may
express to him in person their deep and
grateful appreciation of his devotion to the
great public interests of his. country,

Satisfied.

The last experiment in the recapture of
fugitive slaves, that of SIMS, at Boston, seems
to have satisfied the claimants of such pro-
perty completely. We have not heard of
any effort of the kind since, although there
must be fifteen or twenty thousand fhgitives
IN the Northern States. The right of paying
$4,000 TO recover property worth $500, is a
magnificent cquiSition-parllcularly since il
cost the gold of California to pay for it.
We were told that il was necessary only
to test the law IN Boston, to secure its triumph
and the ready recovery of fugitiyes in future.
Wen, II has been tcsted-and how much las
the value of fugitive property advanced?
The expedients of testing the law have
been curious, They have been made by
friends Of the Compromise ia the South, TO
strengthen their cause. DIR. Collins is a
warm friend of the peace measures; he un-
dertook to illustrate their virtue, and sent on
for Crafts and his wife. The result was an
expensive, dangerous, vex0tious, and igno-
ininious failure; yet DIR. Collins came out
afterwards with n superlative uvownl of
Unionism. lie would have his child bapt-
zed with water from the chief rivers of the
United States. But for the sake of some of
the weaker brethern, whose faith would not,
like that of DIR. Collins, move mountains, il
was thought necessary to prove the majesty
and efficiency of the law over again. So
MIR. Potter came forward, and has manfuly
sacrificed few thousand dollars in the same
cause.
MIR. Potter has done the business. The
law is vindcatod-the Compromise is safe.
The North has got the territory, and the fiigi-
tive slaves both it is true-but the South has
the Fugitiyc-slave law, and can get one of
them any time, by paying five thousand dol
lars-and running off, like the fugitivcs
themselves-by night.
Such is the opinion of the Southern Press in
regard to the Fugitive Law, and the attempt to
enforce it. 1t seems the extremists of the South
will never be satisfied. They get all they ask
and yet grumble that it is not more. But, we
can scarcely wonder at interested Shareholders
asking for means to secure their peculiar insttu
tions,' when men arc to be found here at the
North, and right in our midst, who avow that
they would not ask for the repeal of that infa-
nous law, unless it is for the purpose of having
more effective one passed.

Organization Of VOting AbOliliOniSts.

We observe in the Homestead an appeal to
voting Abolitionists to make arrangements for
an efficient organization throughout tho State,
that they may be able to effect more than it is
possible to do without some combined cfFort.-
Much as we may differ from them in our views
on political matters, VIC would yet hail with re-
ioicing all plans fer keeping the public mind
awake upon the great subject of human
rights. And We hopo thoy may succeed in their
proposed organization, for believing fully in
freedom Of speech as well as action, we wish to
see every one doing all in his power, according
to his own convictions of right, to aid in bring
ing about "t the good time coming" when the
sun shall neither rise nor set upon fcttcrcd
human beings. q.

CHARLES SUMNER.-A large number of our
exchanges are exulting over the election Of
Charles Sumncr-indccd their seems to be
general rejoicing on the part of all save the
incorrisible Hunkers of the old parties. We
are glad to see tit bespeaks progress in the
popular mind, shows that despite the recent
triumphs of the Slave Power, there is strong
under current of opposition to the infamous
acts of pro-slavery Congress. 1t is really en-
couraging to have one Senator elected wholly
on the grounds of his high character and to see
him go into Office untrammelled by pledge or
promise, but at the same time giving us assur-
ance of his straight forward course by referring
to his past career and stating in unmistakable
language that he shall in no wise deviate from
the course he has been pursuing. We see the
Richmond (Va.) Wing advises that the first act
of the next Senate be to expel Seward and
Sumner. We should like to see it tried.

trade-that coflles of manacled slaves are

it many belong to the Society of Friends
And is this bearing ga faithful testimony
against Slavery" There are many who re-
fuse to patronize tic and Pierson line
of vessels on account of their being engag-
ed in this nefarious traffic, and surely the
same motives ought to withhold every one,
who has sense of shame at having our pub
lie highways made subservient, to SO base a
purpose, from travelling on the above rail-
road. 1t is true it is the most expeditions
