Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-10-30
Abolition UprOar in Syracuse.

We had glorious excitement here yes-
terday morning. A rumor had got abroad
that J. w. Lougen, well known rs fugitive
slave, had been arrested at the junction, near
Sknneateles. True to his propensities under
the absolute control of which he lives, CRAN.
pAL hastened to ring the bell, and assemble
crowd. IL appeared on inquiry that Mar
ehai ALLEN had taken the morning train
for Auburn, likewise that Police officers
LOWELL and HENDERSON were passengers at
the sntne time. IL was also known to many
persons that Loguen was on hoard. Direct
ly after passing the Junction, il was o,sor-
we'd that his family had gone OH leaving him
behind, and that some of the officers had al
so stopped. The alarm was speedily spread,
and the train had no sooner arrived at Au-
burn, than telegraphic notice was dispatch
ed TO Syracuse announcing that he was ar
rested. meeting was held, and arrange
ments made to charter n spcciul train to go
up and set the matter to rights. CoGswELL
st the Engine House, not remembering the
X. X. Company had some little control over
such matters, had promised locomotive
and requisite cars to the agifntors.
Marshal ALLEN and IlARRY HENDERSON
returned 10y the next train, and assured the
crowd that were gathered nj the Depot aud
Congregational church that no occasion ex-
lsted for their alarm. But neither of our
friends could succeed in making themselves
generally believed. The impression was
quite general that poor Loguen would he
passenger down on the New York aud Erie
Railroad. The accomplished CRANDAL,
however suspended ringing the bell, MS the
odor Of rat began to penetrate the nostrils
Of his sagacious sanctty.
The occasion of the coincidence which
originated this alarm, seems 60 have arisen
from the circumstance that our able and ef-
ficient Policemen, having got track of nest
OF thieves, had set ont to ferret them out
and bring them to justice. HARRY stopped
at the Junction and caught one there, while
LOWELL Kept the train aud went up further
upon the scent of another
MIR. ALLEN, having been subpnnned TO at
tend the circuit court at Auburn, had un-
Willingly taken the same train. Nor did he
learn the secret till, on returning in the next
run, an aboltionist named Hopkins came
and inquired of him whether Loguen had
really been arrested, TO which he replied that
he had no warrant for him and therefore no
arrest was made. MIR. Hopkins then inform.
ed him of the alarm, aud tie excitement at
Syracuse in consequence. Whethey Mr..
ALLEN feared to be torn to pieces by the pop
ulace, or to he urraigned again for kidnap- !
ping, he did not inform us, but he boldly D
faced the phadnthropic dssembidge which met !
him at the Depot. lie humorollsly obser-
we'd 10 us that he had thought he had right
TO travel out of town. We propose the ap-
pointnIent Of Vigilance Committee to give
him permission in future when he has such
occasions, as it is to much trouble to employ
. bell ringer every time that he goes.
The Marshal was not aware that I.oguen
was on board. lie had caught n sight of
him, and the policemen, aud left the train at
the Junction for fear of breakers, thus giving
occasion for the alarm that was raised.
Thus has closed ludicrous scene Of ex- |
element. II hos served one good purpose !
that of showing the citizens how riliculous |
our nboliionists are making themselves in |
rubid zeal to oyerstep the laws, and set the
statute of Congress at defiance. The ring
lug of the BELLS the assembling of crowds,
the hnsty runnings TO and fro of the rabid
abolition leaders and The readiness to start
q special train Of cars for tho purposes of
rescue, bespeak disposition TO he deprcca-
ted If il becomes dangerous, but most wor-
hy OF laughter because OF its present weak
bess aud inlatuation. At present the NEED |
Of abolition honors must be awarded to Rep. ,
Hr. Raymond, Canal Commissioner Wheaton
and bell-ringing CrandOl. Requiescdnt in
gloria
