OBITUARY.

On Tuesday, Oct. llth, the spirit of our
friend and co.laborer, A q. GARLlcK, of Dor
set left the body for its future sphere of action.
For somc time past tho friends of our bro
ther have watched the gradual wasting away
OF his earthly tencment and yet his departure
c'mes suddenly upon them.
AT our late anniversary many knew they
looked upon him for the last time, for even then
he stood on the verge OF the spirit land.
He retained his faculties to the last, meeting
the new birth with the calmness and dignity of
philosopher, who stcadfaStly believed in tho
eternal progress Of the spirit, and its everlasting
connection with its associates and friends. All
knew him to be the fast friend of the onslayed.
and in this respect he has built himself name
that shall be remembered
Neither public sentiment or law could deter
him from standing by the outcast and wanderer.
His funeral was attended by a vast concourse
OF friends and relatives from many miles round,
who were addressed by J. w. Walker, his per-
sonal friend, w. hose services on the occasion
were requested by almost his dying breath
The audience was deeply affected, though look
ing forward to glorious reunion.
May many be raised up to fill his place in
the ranks of the free. w.

Suit for Freedom.

A suit has been brought in North Carolina
by n negro claiming his freedom. lie was
sold as slave under the bnrbarous laws
still existing in the cen'er of our republic,
by order of the court in Kent county, Del
aware, for two months and n day. This was
IN 1910; the purchaser, Jacob r. Griffin, car
ried him of, and nothing more was heard of
him till he was found in North Carolina held
90 slave by one vi lal, who had paid Sl700
for him. The paper which publishes this
ease says-IndcPendeni.
ave nre informed hy those who have the
hest opportunity of knowing, that ut lenst n
negro week is sold out of the state of Del
awnre. As the law lorbids the sale of slaves
out ofthe state, unless by an order from court
aud as orders from the court do not reach a
liihe of that nutnber-the excess nrc either
Kidnapped or sold Illegally. This inform
alton we do not get from an aholitionisf. but
from gentleman who Is slavcholdcr.
Will the Journal of Commerce tell us wheih-
er publishing such cases is consistent with
tie rules of Castle Garden Committee?

Giles B, StebbinS.

Mr.. Stebbins who hns long been known
rs an able lecturer and devoted friend of
the slave, is now in Michigan, on an Anti
Slavery tour lie will doubtless receive from
the friends there that cordial aid and hearty
welcome they are accustomed to render to
all the active friends of the cause among
them. We clip the following paragraph in
regard TO Mr.. $. from the Anti Slavery Stan
lar,l:
We learn from private letter that Mr.. G.
b. Stebbins, while locturing at Phillipsvile,
few evenings since, was hit so severely in
the eye, 10y an egg thrown by some miscreant,
that serious apprehensions were felt of per-
manent injury. When our correspondent
wrote, however, il seemed likely to recover.
Mr.. Slebbins hns frequently been assaled
when lectnring, but was never before injured;
on one OCCASION, a kettle of tar was actually
prepared for hiM, but the scoundrels who
proposed to apply il had not the courage TO
execute their design.
Mr. Stebbins has gone on Iecturing tour
to Michigan, where, we have no doubt, he
will give good report Of himself

The SanduSky Delivcranre.

was leaving the dock fur Caratla, two color.
ed worien and several children were forcibly
dragged from the boat by Rice, the ciiy mar
sno', ana carried ~ the mayors office, under
uireciion Of man from Kentucky, who
eialnied 10 be their owner. A crowd of coll
ofed people and whites filed the office, but
no steps were taken hy the magistrate for
henring forthwith" aud after waiting about
half au hour, II. B. Slonne, Esq, who had
been retained us counsel for the prisoners, in
CURED OF Rice if he had any warrant or writ
TO authorize their detention. Rice said he
bad not. Sloane then inquired if there was
any paper or evidence under which they were
detnined. The SdHdusky Commercial Register
says
=" To this demand also there was no reply.
MIR Sloane then turned TO the colored people
IN the room aud minated that there appeared
to be nothing which required their detention.
Immediately the entire assembly rushed =,
the door, and, while crowliug out, man
claiming to bo the owner of the negroes, who
had been standing near MrSloaue during the
entire proceedings said to ligr: here are The
Papers--i own the ncgroas-Ill hold YOU in-
dividunlly responsible tor their escape AT
the same time he suid to Mr.. Rice; gave
yon the papers once, aud will bold you, too,
responsible, for you might have stopped
themp
"lt is proper to add that, in Our opinion,
'he course pursued by Mr. Sloane, the coun-
sel for the negroes, indicated no desire to vi
olate the law or lis provisions.
The fugilives of course escaped. The
sdnd,niy Mirror says;--
"The figitives meantime, it is said, took a
sail boat For Canada, the evening steamboats,
having previously leh. The snve-huniers
were unable 10 find n sailor in The city, to
their honor be it said, who would go himself
or permit bis vessel or boat TO be used in pur
suit"
Tho following incident illustrates the Ro-
mnn herOisnI OF the iugiiives from slavery
Last evening MS the slave-hunters were
arrestng the tingityes from slavery, on the
Mad River dock, ono of them seized hold of
young woman with an infant child, eight or
nine months old, in her arms. She jerked
loose from him, ran some steps, threw the
child upon the ground aud returned toward
the slave. catcher. She was seized and
marched toward the mayors office. The
child was picked up 10y one of our citizens
one of the Kcntuckinns claimed to he the
owner. Mr.. h. refused to give up The child
without evidence. The infant was taken ia
the mother, who, supposing herself doomed
sguin TO slavery, disowued it-denicd in the
most positive terms That il was her child
To own her offspring was to doom the chlt
TO slavery; to disuwn nnd desert it, she hoped
was TO allow tho dearest treasure OF hel
heart to grow up, breathing the air of free
dom. For this she stood nobly ready to dis
member the ties of such affection ms n moth
er only knows, aud leave to chance, or Other
hands, the rearing OF the infant, dearer than
life ITSELF"

Letter from Parker PillSbnry.
SULLIVAN, Ashland Co., Ohio.
October Both, 1852.

OCtooct oOlllb 1909
DEAR MARrus: In my letter from Ann Arbor,
Michigan, wrote that "James Walker had
acquired most deserved and desirable rcputa-
tation," by his labors in that State. am afraid
he will not much like your amendment, for you
inadvertently printed it, desired reputation
That is rather moro than VIC are authorized to
say.
By the date of this note, you sec We arc back
to Ohio again. Our trip to Michigan was a sad
one for the Griffings, though pleasant tonne, and
not without profit to the causet Tho sickness
Of Charles, was to himself and Josephine, tru-
ly dishcnrtning 1t almost seemed to them that
to labor in Il field ofmoral conflict, was utterly
out of the question. l. have seldom, if ever,
known family so severly afflicted. The rava-
gcs of Fire, Insanity in its most hopeless form,
long and dreary sickness, terminating in two
instances, in the death Of those most near and
dear, all these bitter elements, have been min
glcd in their cup OF suffering, within the last
three years.
1 have never been so impressed with the tai
cnt and capacity of Mrs. Griffing. for a public
missionary in the work of llcform, as during
our recent tour in Michigan. hopo she will
continue to maintain her present beautiful Sc
renity, no matter in what furnace of ufiliction
she may be tried. She is surely one of those
who have " come up out Of great lribula,ion.
The Society has never had an agent in its en-
ploy, whose labors commenced with greater
efficiency and usefulness, than those OF Mrs.
GrifIing. Under any circumstances, she should
receive every encouragement. But afflicted as
she has been, and performing the work she has
done in tlis State, as well as Michigan, she
surely is worthy of especial consideration.
Probably before this note appears in tho Blu
gle, 1 shall once moro have taken reluctant
leave of the West, as a field of labor. Nor
can hope longer to make it, as for the last
three years, an annual visit. But the tics
which bind me to it, are too strong for death to
sever. Ever and onward, while memory per-
forms its wonted office, in this life, or the land
of spirits. whatever, or wherever in the universe
l may be, the friends have found, or made
and loved, will live as attendant spirits with
me, to gild every ray of sunshine moro bright
ly, or to light up whatever dark valley or
shadow Of death, am ordained TO pass. To
possess their affection, is felicity enough. To
deserve it, shall be tho work of my life though
it requires a degree of excellence, which may
not reach, till maturcd and perfected in the bet
ter life to TO come.
We shall hold meetings in Medina, and Guy
ahosa counties, every day or evening, until the
election after which every body, probably, will
require period of repose and reflection. OF
our progress and success, we will keep you, as
usual, informed.
Yours and your readers.
with unabated affection,

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Unrivalled Print Of Washington.

WEIGHS WASHINGTON AFTER STuAnT.-This
superb engraving is elicitiug universal and un-
qualified admiration, We have seen largo
number of letters from many Of the first artists,
authors, statesmen, jurists, and amateurs in the
country, all unanimously testifying to its high
excellence both as a faultless translation Of
SruART's painting and as a valuable exhibition
Of Mn. wLLcn's artistic skill as an engraver.
From a large number Of notices appearing in
various papers, and of a highly aattcring des-
crption, VIC select the following from the Wash
ington National InteligeHoer-
As production of artistic skill, the print re-
fleets the highest honor on the engraver. II is

art was so justly celebrated, be transferred from

would be a multiplication instead of merely an
imitation Of the picture. Stuart's style was
remarkable for breadth and boldness both arc
here tho very touches of the pencil, in al
their unresorved and mastery freedom, have
been preserved to us insomuch that no one ia.
miliar with the works of tho great painter car
fail at once to recognize his brush. With sound
judgment and equal modcsty the cngraver has
abstaincl from all attempt to add a line to tho
original though unfinished. We have the noble
Godlikc head and nothing more. 1t is enough
1t meets and satisfies every wish. If it be true
that Stuart himself having succeeded, thus far
beyond his hopes, was afraid of adding lest he
should diminish the effect, how much moro
does it become one whose sole aim in this case
and whose highest attainment was perfect imi.
tation, not to overstep the modesty of his ar.
tistical position, and attempt to complete, in
drapery and background, production so per-
feet that even the author trembled to add an.
other touch.
We conclude the above extract from the In.
| telligcncer with the urgent request that oul
readers will call at our Office and examine thi:
most superb and only faithful likeness of tho
immortal Washington. This valuable portrait
will also be found advertised in another part o.
our paper. Persons wishing to procure it, car
do so by applying at the Bugle Office.

American Slavery,
nY AN ESGLIsuMAN.

We extract the following remarks on Amer
lean Slavery, from an article on the Presi-
deninl election in the London .Nonconl lormiSt
edited by Edward Mail, NJ. r.:
alt is clear, then, that Slavery is the Mar
plot of American poliics-ihe ind0cile ele-
ment of every combination-tle unbidden
Banquo.ike guest at every caucus. The ST.
lence Of leading men respecting il, is not less
significant than would be their uiiernnces.
Their attempts TO ignore the question ITSELF
are in cdllying contrast with their Difference
20 its parlzans. Abolition is 10 the rulers of
ihe United States what Catholic Emancipn-
,ion was to British kings aud statesmen from
1900 to 1920. Il has already spoiled more
ihnn one fine reputaiion,is breaking up sue
cessive organizations, and renders impossible
an imperial policy. IL is tho palsy OF state
craft, aud the leprosy of ccclesinsticiSnl.--
II renders Kossuih an object of suspicion To
one.hnlf of the sfntes, and diminished the zeal
of the other half Il embitlers intercourse
witt free countries, aud exposes them 10 re-
proach from despOiic governments. Slave
nv prevents America from taking her just
place-a place of pride and power, among
The naiioIIs of tic earth, and makes her no
blest children iilush 20 own their parent. II
compels the Northern States to violate IlIe
plainest diriates of humanity, mud surrender
She right of hospitality that belongs even to
the Arabs tent il sets the best citizens al
untagonism with the executive and make dis
obedience 10 law, solemn duty to the most
neaceiih section of community. Ii limits
she action Of statesmen who seem 10 achieve
worldwide renown TO painful balance o

with the word compromise" aud brands

FurS in Virginia.

Virginia, the Oldest state in the Union, is go
ing back to aboriginal life, If we may Judge
from the Increasing exports Of her fur. The
Parkersburgh Gazette, says tho fur shipped
from that wharf last year amounted in value
to $1,000, and that the shipment the present
year will be greatly increased. One man, Mr..
Taylor. has, during the last season, collected in
the counties between the Ohio river and the
Allegheny mountains, skins numbering as fol-
lows: coon, 27,O0O mink. 1900; foxes, $500
wildcat, 1900 otter and fisher, 400; oppos.
sum $4,000 bear, 500; deer, 6,OOo.
This fourishing fur trade may in part, ut
least, be attributed to slavery as its producing
cause. 1t shuts out isration-stigmatizcs
industry as dishonorablc, ard renders popular
education impractcable, and under these influ-
cnces the forest and its denzcns are rcclaming
their original possessions, and in place Of o
dense and intelligent population of cultivators
of the soil, it is like to become inhabited by
the hunter, emulous Of tho habits of indian
life.
"Sec," said Mr.. Cistis Of Virginia, some
years since, "thc wide spreading ruin, which
the avarice Of our ancestral government has
produced in the South, as witnessed in a sparcc
population of frccmcn, deserted habitations,
and fields without culture. Strange to tell,
even the wolf, which driven back long since by
the approach of man, now returns after the
laps of hundred years, to howl over the dcs,
olatons of slavery"
If our nation would save itself from a return
to barbnrsm, it must itself return to the prin-
ciplcs of justice, as the only true source Of
prosperity. Now at least, it is quito too late to
charge slavery upon our "anccstral govern
ment." 1t is the avarice of the South itself
which is working its own destruction.

We find the following in the Gazette of o.
tober 2Sth:
"a BLACK SrAMpEDE.-On Wednesday nirht
of last week. ten slaves from an interior coun
ty OF Kentucky. crossed the river below this
city and succeeded in m aking their escape thro'
Hamilton county on their way to Canada.
Their owners, who arrived ono day too late,
appeared to be gentlemanly and honorable men,
and stated that the slaves had been we'll treat
ed not over-workcd, and having no cause of
complaint except rumor that two of their
number, who were husbands were to be sold
to Louisiana cotton planter"
Tho only reason why they were induced to
dare at all the hardships and perils of race to
Canada was that two who were husbands, werc
about to be sold to a louisiana cotton planter
1t certainly is marvellous that men should run
away into Freedom, and take their wives with
them Tor so slight cause.
We suppose that all good law. abiding, un-
ion-loving Whae husbands would have submit.
ted quietly to be sold, and be separated from
their wives forever Ch, isfian Press.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE meets November 7th,
Rescue Cases,

For more than year past there has been
in process in Massachusetts aud New York,
attempts to infct the pains aud penalties Of
the fugitive slave law. Very poor success
has ms yet attended thege efforts. The cases
have both been called Up within few days
past, and with the same discouroging results
MS those which nave preceded them. Eli
zur Wright was nrrngned the second time,
on the 2<d ult., and put through the same
fc.ms oftrial MS before, with Caphurt Debree
and Curtis as witnesses aud with similar re-
suits. These trials are not less an outrage
upon the principles of justice than n mocke-
ry of NIL its forms. We should think
the frequent repetition of this iarce, about
the best means to make the law aud the in
stitulion it was designed to support, abhorred
ns it should be, in the eyes Of New
Englonders.
At Albany also the Jerry Rescue Trials
have been called up, aud as usual adjourned
over TO the next term of court, which meets
at Albany in january next. Tho Carson
League thinks they will never he brought to
trial. But now MS the election is over and
they have served their purpose, they will he
suffered TO pass off the docket us quietly as
possible.

HuNKERIsM IN SYRACUSE. Byron Sun.
derand, preached sermon last week, SAYS the
Carson League, against Woman's Rights. He
took his text:
"The woman shall not wear that which per-
taineth unto man, neither shall a man put on
awoman's garment; for all that do so are abom-
ination unto the Lord thy God"
If he stuck to his text We can't sec why
his sermon should not have been as directly
against mems rights as those of women The
text evidently puts them on the samo footing.
