THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.
The Bccshcr Family.

Those who would know how the present con-
hict with slavery will look when It comes to be
Transmitted to history, should read the account
Of the Dcccher family, which VIC wepublish on our
first page. In a few particulars, the writer has
drawn somewhat upon public rumor, which as
usual, is not entirely reliable For example,
the number Of students in the Lane Seminary
at the time of the rupture, is oycrratcd, and the
extreme danger to DR.. Bccchor's dwelling OF the
seminary buildings, is rather apochriphal accord
ing to our knowledge and best recollection Of
the facts
The facts and tho failure Of the Seminary
enterprise orc truly set forth--a solemn warning
to all who prefer success to principle and hu-
manity. DIR. Decchcr told the students of Lane
Seminary, time and again, that "thcir princi
pies were right, but they could not succeed
that the infant Seminary could not sustain itself
against the tide CT pro-slavcry public opinion
which would set against il, If it identified itself
with these sentiments" 10 save the seminary,
free speech was denied. The Seminary took
its position for slavery, that IL might thereby
gain prosperity. Its students, who were friends
Of freedom, abandoned it, aud il failed 1t fail
cd in spite Of DIR. Bccchcrs talent and populari-
ty with students and people. In spite of Pre-
fcssor Stoves omiablc character, profound
scholarship, and unsurpasicl cl skill as an instruc-
tor. 1t failod and fifteen years of their CON-
bircd labor could not suffice to restore It. Lane
Seminary to day has no reputation except the
unenviablc ono she earned by the expulsion of
her students. a righteous rctribu,on.
Ono thought these "reminiscences suggest,
which it is due toEhc present and the future to
utter. 1t is this, that the mobocra;c violence,
which succeeded tho election of the students,
was the legitimate fruit of that election. 1t
followed it as connoctodly and surely as the fruit
follows the blossom. Inc Trustees of Lane
Seminary, with the full concurrence of Drs.
Bccchcr and Stove, purgcd the institution OF all
taiut Of freedom. What wonder then that
Kcn,uckians and the traders of Cincinnati,
took such vigorous measures in imitation. to
rid the city of James g. Bmey, and the little
handful Of faithful abolitionists who were his
heroic coaljutorsi What wonder that they
attempted tho expulsion OF the industrious and
then rapidly improving colored population, in
the manner so graphically portrayed by this
writer. Theology set the example in Cincin-
natl and it was followed. We say this in 10
i'll will to DIR. Bcechcr.
Our rccolloetions Of him arc throngcd with
lis acts of patcrnal kindness to us and others,
for VIC were numbered among his pupils, and
the pnngi it cost US to part with him aud with
the institution is still fresh with us, neverthc.
loss We can but set forth our conviction of his
great error. lie placed success before principle
temporary adyauiagct to theology, before the
permanent interests of freedom. And great
Sas his disappointment and failure.

THE U. S. SENATOR.

We have Just entered our sanctum after an
absence Of few minutes to take notes touching
the intelligence which has just reached us from
the Capital.
During the afternoon, the greatest excitement
prevailed amongst our citizens, with reference
TO the truth of statement which had been put
in circulation in the early part of The day, to
the effect that Hon. Go Wallace Jones had
been reelected to the u. S. Senate, for six
wears from the 18th of March next The return
O. Gen. Booth, and Thos. Rogers, Esq, in ad
vance Of the mail, from the Capital, about the
middle Of the afternoon, set all speculation at
rest. by the announcement of the fact that, the
Hon. Senator was elected by the very decisive
vote set forth in another column.
We could not be called upon to discharge q
more pleasing and grateful duty than that which
is involved in the announcement of the reelec
ton of this faithful and tried public servant
Nor are we alone in the feelings to which we
thus give publicity. The signal victory of the
veteran hero OF Buena Vista was not received
BY his country with manifestations of greater
triumph, than was the intelligence of the sena-
torial election, by our citizens of all parties
sparklcd in every eye. As the tidings spread
it was amusing to see and observe the various
modes of expression that were adopted, by
which to convey the Impressions it produced {.
Amongst the most significant that we have
heard, was that Of II. w. Sanford, Esq, prom
inent Wing, though no politician, and one Of
our most wealthy citizens. Mr.. Sanford was
taking tea at the City Hotel. The all absorb
ing topic round the table was the Senatorial re-
suit, in which Mr.. S. participatedoand amongst
other things, made the following observation
elf it be fixed fac. that Gen. Jones is nomina.
ted, shall hold every foot of my property at an
advance of twenty five per cent"
As night threw its dark mantle over the city,
4 most brilliant bonfire was started at the cor.
ners of Main and Sixth streets, Illuminating the
whole, whilst from the high bluff owe Hooking
the Lorimier's Hollow road, pealed forth in
accents not to be mistaken, the loud
kuzzas of the cannon. Such a demonstra-
ton was worthy alike of the occasion and the
man; ana goes Tar 10 snow the esteem IN Whlcn
he is held, aohO was represented at Iowa City,
as being so far below par at home, ssthat he
could not be elected to fill the Office of consta-
ble!' With few unimportant exceptions, Gen
Jones has the warm and heartfelt congratula-
tons Of the whole public, and he has the proud
satisfaction that, in departing hence, to resume
the arduous labors which Congressional duties
impose, he goes forth under the fatterng and
grateful sanction of most marked approval Of
his past course and services.

Dec. II, 1889.
Messrs Editors of the Miners Express:
Sirs-I observed a communication in the
Herald of December 18th, accusing DR.. Sales OF
not complying with the wish of his constituents
| will speak advisedly and say how was the Or.
to know the wish of his constituents ex-
cept by obtaining the expression from the peo'
pie, which he did, by correspondence and con-
versation, since last July, never committing
himself on the subject, till just before he left
for Iowa City, when he expressed his convic
tons to DR.. Matson, who thought or expressed
himself otherwise. The expression of that
opinion was the cause of the friends of both
Drs calling that meeting (by notice in the An
amosa News) which was held in Anamo sa; both
Drs. being confident that they would be sus
tanned; but DR.. Matson was disappointed, wher
the first expression of that meeting was 81 fol
Jones, and against! Since that time, DR.
Matson has not been idle, trying, by petitions
circulated by himself and others, in this county
and Jackson, to change the decision OF the
meeting. The one that he circulated, by all hi:
influence, &c, &c, he only could obtain abou
forty names, part of which were Wings; ant
the one in Jackson county obtained about ter
more, part Wings.
Since, all their efforts there was petition pu
in circulation by the friends of Jones asking Drs
Sales and Taylor to use their utmost exertion:
TO secure the re election of Gen. Geo. w. Jones
as their only choice, to which was obtained nea
one hundred and fifty names IN Anamosa, in
days; but two or three refusing to sign wher
asked; several signing that had signed Matson I

fend the injured, in their absence.
