THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

folded silk handkerchief. After all these pro-
cautions, sho read a number Of things that were
presented to her 10y tho committee and the audi
encc, and accurately described persons, standing
at a short distance.
Different theories were broached, and adj
vocated by Mrs. Loomis, and some members of
the committee in regard to the manner in which
the the thing was done. The former contcnding
that the knowledge was conveyed to the mind
without the aid of tho organs of vision; the
latter maintaining that it was by means Of some
rays of light, that some how managed to reach
her eyes, in spite Of the silk, cambrick, India
Rubber and kid gloves which intcrvoncd.
For once, VIC intend to be conservative, and
wont commit ourselves to the intrinsic truth Of
either one Of these theories. Though If VIC
were compelled to give an opinion of the COM
parativc plausi5ility Of the two hypothesis, we
should say that tho committee men gained very
little by theirs, over the other. For We can
quito as readily believe that the knowledge,
took short cut through the scull, as that strug-
ling messengers of light conveyed it to the eye,
after travcrsing, that inch or moro of opaque
bandaging.
II any body wants an apology for the dis
cussion Of this "extraneous topic" VIC have
only to say that all our newspapers, and cores
pondent due for the last three days, arc yet on
on the other side of the food, and so far as tho
weather promises, there like to be for three days
to come. Tho Duglc cant, therefore, como this
week, with news from all nations numbering at
its back so that the best We can do, is to give
the news from our little city Of Salem, and
judging from the conversation about town this
morning, the above is the important item of the

SALEM, ONO, APRIL II, 1852.
Executive COMMITTEE meets May I'd.

Notice Of Me Financial Committee. We hope
all interested will read the notice of this COM
mittcc, and at once answer to their call. We
join with the committee in deprccating the loss
Of any who have long been our readers. We
wish our circulation extended, not diminished,
and hope to have il so. But while the Com
mittco arc doing their utmost to make the pa
per useful and valuable and giving it to their
subscribers with promptncss and regularity, ,thcy
must insist upon the like promptncss on the
part Of subscribers. a considerable number Of
them arc prompt, advance paying subscribers.
And but for those, tho paper would have failed
long ago. That all have not been so, is the rca-
son why the paper has been crippled and en-
bsrrasscd, and compelled to struggle with in
ccssant doubt Of its continued existence. 1t has
been kept aloat in years past only by the in
domitoblc resolutions of few, that it should
be, in spite of all dclinqucncics. Nowit should
stand as other papers do, upon its subscription
list.
1t has always been worth the money charged
for it and the committee are therefore no beg
gsrs, when they ask for their pay. The pres.
cnt number of subscribers is amply sufficient
to meet NIL the expenses if promptly paid.
Shall it not be done at once and henceforth.
There is loud cry for help in the lecturing
fold. And the committee want but the means
t. 60 forward and occupy the land. With the
present subscription list, every dollar of dona-
tons should 60 in that direction. And there
it will go this opening season, if our subscribc.s
will only meet us with the prompt justice we
ask

More Finally.

The Voic, of the Fugitive reports more ar
rivals IN Canada by the "undcr ground "
route. The following arc the latest.
We saw mother yesterday, who escaped
with five children, from the State of Missouri.
Tho woman seemed to be much reioiced to
think that she had got to a free country with
all her children. They are all large enough to
go to school, save one. They will settle on
the land of tho "Refugees Home"
tS~ We saw man las; week also, who
paid his master in the State of Tennessee, 5000
for his liberty, and then commenced paying for
his vile and children; but altor he had paid
over $500 towards their liberation, her owners
were about to sell their children to n slave
trader; so the man took his wife and threc
children and brought them to Canada, and
wrote letter back to their owners informing
them Of their safe arrival, which caused his old
master to take drunken spree which resulted
in his death, so our nforman. has learned from
another fugitive who has left there since no
did.
Sanford Nelson, and John Nelson, escaped
from Theodore Harrison, Of Ridgcvlle,
Hampshire Co., Virginia, on last Monday night.
They wished us to say to Mr.. Harrison, that
he need not give himself any trouble about
their being sold off by the Abolitionists. They
arc there reported as being slave steaers and
slave traders; but these fugitives have found
them to be their best friends. They were con-
Quoted by them to the " Underground Rail-
road, which brought them through to Cana
da in "doublo quick tmc," whore tho people
are all free, the climate is mild the soil is rich
and productive, and the markets arc ready and
advantageous to tho farmer.

satisfied thu, these miserable creatures shout

each gang was detected in stealing part Of
the dinner Of fellow slave, aud his master
after tying his hands behind his bnck, drove
him off, striking and pounding him with his
fists in the most lcrocioIs manner. We also
saw three slaves IN n cooper's shop whipped
upon their backs with piece of hoop

appearances however wolld seem to indicate
that they were whipped because they did not

for new trinl. This decision ovsrrules
several decisions which had been given in
former times, by the Supreme Court of
Missouri. In referring to this, Judge Scott
says;
Times now ore not as they were when the
former decisions on this subject were made.
Since then not only individuals but States
have been possessed with dark and fell
spirit in relation to slavery, whose gratiiica-
ton is sought in the pursuit of measures,
whose inevitable consequences must he the
overthrow and destruction of our govern
mcnf. Under such circumstances it does
not behove the State of Missouri TO show the
least countenanco TO any measure which
might crafty this spirit. She is willing TO
assume her full responsibility for the exis-
Ience of slavery within her limits, nor does
she seek to share or divide it with others
Although VIC may, for our own snkcs, regret
that the ovnrce aud hard heartedness OF the
progenitors of those who are so sensitive on
the subject, ever introduced the institution
NJ ong us, yet VIC will not go TO them to
learn law, morality aud religion OH the sub
icc'.

The Reform.

A friend in writing to US concerning the effort
now making to secure 20 woman her political
rights says; "Iknow that you are tho friend of
woman's causc but then also know that the
Bnsle Platform, is the Anti Black Slavery
Platform, and its patrons might look with jcal-
ousy on n subject which would divert sympathy
from it,"
The writer is mistaken in regard TO our plat
FORM. The Bugle is devoted to the interests of
freedom, not to complexion, race or sex. The
stolen birth right Of liberty, we would restore to
all tho dcspoiled and robbed. Its possession we
would secure to all who now hold it. True our
paper is especially devoted to the removal of
chattel slavery. We give our personal services
especially to this work, because, in our view
the necessities Of the slave arc more pressing
his enemies more numerous, powerful and un-
rclenting-his wrongs moro outrageous, and his
woes more intolerablc than any other class
within our roach Besides all our country is
implicated especially in the guilt Of his condi-
ton and to some extent in his snifcrings. We
also have power to aid him, and therefore, We
have especial inclination to do so. We think
toe, that the worlds elevation and improvement
can be best attained by division of labor, ac-
cording to the inclination, talent and circum-
stances OF the laborcrs.
But while we give our time and labors espec-
/ tally here, we have no jealousy for the labors
or success of our fellows in other departments.
| We heartily rejoice in them all. And not alone
for the immediate success they may attain, but
because We know their success is indispensable
to our own, as is ours to theirs.
From the necessity of social law, ono evil
perpetuatcs and sustains another, as one good il
the enemy of all evil. The man or woman
therefore, who overthrows one wrong practice
or establishes one right principle, docs a service
to all truth and all men. So far as history tells
chattel slavery has always co-cxisted with fc
male oppression, oven in the dominant classes
! and till the nominally free women are legal.
and socially cmancipatcd, human chattelsn
will continue to exist. For so long wo shal
} lack the perfect devclopcment and exercise O
that moral power, which is necessary for its over
a, throw. We may, as has often been done, sup
press one form and another of oppression, b.
+ violence; but the spirit Of slavery will remai

Important Decision,

The Supreme Court of Missouri, ut its
present session, decided question in rela-
lion 10 the rights of master aud slave, of
much importance. II was a suit 10 try the
right TO freedom Of n negro snye, who he
i0nged to DR.. Emerson, dccensed, formerly
Il surgeon in the United States Army. The
rnii WINS brought by the administrators OF
DR.. Emerson's estnie. In the evidence, il
Mppeareh TINT while DIR. Emerson wis u
surgeon in tie United Suites Army, he was
stationed at Rock Island, a military post in
the State of Illinois, and at Fort Smelling,
also military post in the territory Of the
United States, north OF the Missouri line, a,
bolh Of which places the negro was detained
in serviinde-nt one place from the year
1894 until April or May, 1886; at the other,
IRON the period last mentioned, until the
yenr 1888.
In the trial of the case in the court below
the Jury were instructed, in view of these
,hcls, 10 find for the slave, That he was, by
thus being carried into Illinois aud north O
tile Missouri, virtually set free. A new tria
was moved for on the ground of mistliree
lion ly the Court, which being denied, Wr
of Error was taken, and the case carried
before the Suprume Court of Missouri.
The dccision of that Court was prononnc'

the reason is owing to the fact, that the
