Tremendous Hail Storm.

On Sunday, the Goth inst, at about .
o'clock, p NJ. cloud gathered over the
vicinity of Starksboro, covering an area
of about one mile in width. and about
four in length 1t commenced pouring
out hail at rate almost incredible, doing
serious damage to some few farmers
coming within its range was in
formed By Mr. Chase, that his garden
was totally ruined, together with large
field of corn which was completely swept
away; and that hundreds of tons of hail
lay piled up in his lots
1t is now 60 hours since the falling of
the hail, and S, d. Holcomb, Esq, has
just brought into my store half pail
full of hail stones, as large as ounce
balls, which he has just taken up in his
lot. Mr. ii. took from cheese tub,
which received the hail as it fell from
the clouds, over 20 gallons He thinks
it has destroyed his field of corn, of about
seven acres, together with all his fruit,
and other crops. am also informed
that large building erected by Davis
b. Rich, near a small brook, for the pur-
pose of manufacturing butter and cheese,
was swept away in 80 minutes after the
storm commenced, with all its contents.
am informed by Mr.. Holcomb that
some portion of the butter has been re-
covered, in good condition, having been
picked up ON his farm, some two miles
distant from the place where it was
shipped. l think it an excellent way Of
shipping butter in toarm heather. The
storm exceeded any thing known to tho

A Nice SpCCulaliOn--..ilmOSt

Samuel Qlarlcs of Mobile, tho individual
who purchased three Of the citizens of Massa-
chusctts at Galveston, has written letter to the
Governor of Massachusetts,, which the South
crn papers seem to think most decided hit.
lie informs the Legislature of Massachusetts
and the abolitionists in general, that these Mass
achusctts citizens "aro now his property" and
proposes to test their sincerity in tho manner
following;
Il will therefore, propose 10 this committee
or to the abolitonists generally, il they will
pay me the amount Of money it has cost TO
reclaim II fugitive slave la Boston, they can
have these negroes. This proposition con
slider fair, liberal and just; aud il will be re-
garded as test of the sincerity Of those who
manifest such lively interest in tile welfare
of this peculiar people.
NV place of residence is Mobile.
| am, respectfully, your ohcdent servant
SAMUEL QUARLEs.
Should this proposition be accepted Of which
VIC must confess we have strong doubts, it will
prove very snug little transaction to Colonel
Quarlcs. The cost of these three citizens, ut
Galveston, was a fraction over SiOO per. head
while he asks only the moderate sum of $20,-
900 dollars for the three. The Commonwealth
comments upon the proposition as follows:
We freely confess that reclaimng fnyi-
tive slave in Boston is expensive and yet it
can he done cheaper here than any where
else in Massachusetts on account of the q b.
undance Of cur-tises aud other dogs
Sims is supposed to have cost at least S20,-
OOO, to say nothing of the liquor bills. Col.
Quarles can hardly expect Massachusetts to
purchase reputation for sincerity, or rather
simplicity, at so high price. As to the men
themselves, if they were in Algerinc or Spun
sh, or some such barbarious and cruel sla-
very, perhaps we might raise $4,000 to ran
som them. But how different is their fate
They have fallen into the hands of II coun-
trymnn of our own, an amateur autocrat, who
is so highly exalted in moral granduer, that
he looks down with pity and contempt upon
the beneyoence and philanthropy of Mnss-
achusetts. OF course Col. Quares will treat
these men, who nre his property with great
iavor and Affection -and us they are Mass
achuseiIs men, and know something of nav
lealion, he will have TO treat them nlighi,j ,cel,
or he obliged 10 reflect on the transient ma
ture of some earthly things. On the whole,
therefore, we couldn't encourage the mag
nanimons Col. Quares with very bright be-
cunlary prospects.

Colonization.


We have received the following with the
request TO publish. We are unacquainted
with the individuals who of1iciated at the
meeting, but suppose it to be a protest of
the colored citizens of New Richmond,
against that wicked association, the Atneri-
can Colonization Society.
According to previous notice, large and
respectable meeting was held at the Baptist
Church, on Quurry Street, in New Rich
mond OH the 9th inst. The meeting was
organized by calling Mr.. G. Ward to the
Chair, aud appointing Mr.. r. lIartz, Secreta-
ry. At the request of the President, Mr..
Mitchell stated the object of the meeting,
when the following resolutions were present
ed aud after discussion adopted.
Resolved, That the appropriation Of Mon
cy by the Legislature Of the State, for the
removal of its colored citizens beyond the
limits of the United States is unconstitullon-
al.
Resolved, That the Colonization scheme
is concoction of the slave power.
Resolved, That we consider the American
Colonization Society, as the friend of the
opprcssor, and the enemy of the oppressed.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

in the next, cloqucntly advocating the election
of the man who made ii law-who has pro.
we'd his determination to support it, at the sacr-
fec of all security of liberty and life.
We of the North, who are faithful to the
traditions and sentiments of our fatlers,
uropose no action respecting Slavery, desire
none whatever, from any Wing National
Convention. We know and acknowledge
that on this subject there is a diversity of
views and feelings between the North and
the South. and we see no use in pnstcring
over that diversity with empty aud nmbig
nous words. We propose to leave il where
il hns been left by all former Whig National
Conventions. untouched. We hold, as we
ever have. held, that the Wing party of the
Nation was organized upon certain vital
Principles and in support OF certain tunda-
mental Measures, which have nothing to do
with Slavery or Abolition. A Wing in Ala
bama may he decidedly pro-Sluvery, as one
in Vermont may be earnestly nnti-Slavery
vet both be true and sound Wings, and they
muy act cordially together in support OF
Wing principles aud measures.

carried into our next Wing National Con-

will be blameless. 1t is content with the
old platforms and old landmarks of the party.
II asks nothing in regard to Slavery in this
connection but that it be let alone.
Whatever of new tests, or iire-brands, or
'sms,' shall come into that Convention will
be thrust in by the South and its truin-bear-
ers-by the same force That laid the Wimot
Provso so fatty on the table of the last Ma
tonal Convention. That Convention was
largely in favor of said Proviso-the laying
Oh the table implied only that the subject
had rightiully no place in n Convention OF
the wings of the entire Union.
Should the subject of Slavery be never
theless thrust into the next National Con
vcntion, how eau other subjects of interest
be kept out? The Freedom of the Public
Lands, sympathy with the trampled Millions
of Europe and other such matters are wor-
thy of attention; if Sllvcry gets lis Ny
ground, why should Liberty and Labor stand
back?
The Editor closes tho article with the follow
ing earnest supplication to his slaveholdins
masters, to spare his idol the whig party.
Is it wise without cause TO force a sec
iionn issue on the Country? We of the
North are willing to 'live and let live Why
should you, for mere name, insist Oh dcs.

whether the adoption of said law in tie sew

their inspiring voices to aid whatever is truthful
and good. In Philadelphia, in Baltimore and
in Washington, though attempts were made to
arouse prejudice against them as abolitionists,
their frmncss as mon, combined with the
charms of their song, gave them glorious tri-

We doubt not it will be well improved.
