taste of their quality in the Bugle The speeches
of Mr.. Garrison and Mr.. Phillips wero Of rare

gests that the latter should be published in
pamphlet form. By all means let us have it.
1t will do good service just now. We learn also
from the same paper that tho Anti Slavery
Society of N. Y. City is about to publish Mr..
Garrison's speech in connection with the origi-

CRAWFORD Co., PA.-That unwearied friend
of the slave, ISAAC BRooKs. writes from Linsa-
vile, that ]. F. selby has just spent week in
that region, and held six meetings. He adds |:
"Mr. Selby is doing honor to our cause. He
takes the highest ground and uses tho most
powerful arguments in justification of his posi-
ton." Their A.s.sewing Circle is prosperins, and
fifty dollars has recently been subscribed to sus-
tain anti-slavery lecturers in that vicinity, and
Mr.. b. says the sum will be doubled. Let Anti
Slavery men elsewhere initiate the example Of
our Crawford friends, and secure the thorough
Anti-Slavery cultivation of their own neigh
borhoods.

tatons ought still to be followed for a gene
ration or more longer. Is there any reason
why such men should not hold Office, aud, Of
course, vote? As members Of Congress or
of State Legislatures, ! trust [ have shown
they con have no Legitimate connection with
slavery in any way; because the Constitution
requires no legislation, by State or nation,
on the subject. And the chances are indei-
intely small, that, in any other office or pos
ition, they will be called upon to do any act
for the return of fugitive slave, or in bchnll
of slavery. Should such an exigency arise,
they could resist the demand, aud take the
consequences, just as, in the capacity OF pri-
vnte citizens, they could do the same. SO
far as pro-slavery implications are concerned,
| should not have the slightest objection to
take the commission end the oath OF II United
Stntes Marshal to-day. Ii called upon under
the law of 1913 or 1850, to arrest an alleged
fugitive, ] should rejoice that the commission
was in my hands, and not in the hands Of
one who would do so ungodly deed. The
frivolous and ligbt-mluded may here say,
that, with such an intent, one of the qualiti-
cations Of the incumbent should he long
purse. But it would bo immnterial for such
n purpose, whether | were rich or poor. IL
rich, TO whit better use coull put my mo-
ney2 IL poor, who could doubt my indem-
MITIGATION by an eager public? At any rate,
as last resort, could surrender my COM
mission. Two officers in the British army
did this, on the breaking out of the Revolu-
tionary war, because they would not be guilty
of assisting to suhjugste the colonies. Gran
vile Sharp, who then held an office IN one
Of the home departments, did the same, and
for the same reasons.
In characteristic note, Mr.. Editor, you
requested Inc, IN stating my views OF the
Constitution, to he explicit ! trust that you
will find that have been so. At any rate, II
my person, for any reason Ishall feel an in
terest in my views on this subject and in
stead Of arraigning and denouucing me be-
fore thepublic, it he shall ask, in any civil
way, to be informed Of them, he may he
assured Of respectful attention.
Yours, truly, HORACE MANN.
T. s. As to your correspondents and
others, who have rushed in with such alac-
rity TO cover the retreat of their friend, my
original nssailant, perhaps ought TO regard
the zeal which has so dimmed their vision,

wards him, rather than of ill-will towards
me or the, truth and so to let il pnss. ID

Mr.. MEDmL.-Tho Ashtabula Sentinel con-
tinues its exposure Of Mr. Medilrs pro-slavery
eoures. Nothing could exceed It. Tho con-
clusion of the whole matter, says the True
Democrat, Is this;
"ThGt on erery subject invOlpipg tao support Of
slavery, on the slave trade, he uoted toth the South
and a Wig Administration. And what follows
furtheri Why this THAT HE HELD THE PEo-
rLE OF OHIO BOUND TO SHED THEIR BLOOD, AND
POUR OUT THEIR TREASURE, FoR SLAVERY, THE
SLAVE TRADE, AND THE SHAREHOLDER. There is
no escape from either conclusion. Mr.. Medill's
acts and votes prove that he entertained these
monstrous views, and labored for them, against
the wisest friends of freedom, and the largest
interests of Humanity"

The villains had lost their knives, and the
dogs had so manned them that they were in

difficulty the dogs were called off and the
two men lifted to seat. There was no need
of binding them, for they needed some more
restorative agent, as the dogs had made quick
work in disabling them.

For long time that old man gazed on his

From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands
And hold in mortman still their old estates.
The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists and yapors dense
a vital breath Of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equipoiso
By opposite attractions and desires:
The struggle of the instinct that eniovs
And the more noble instinct that aspires
The pertubations, the perpetual Jars

Come from the influence Of ,hat unseen star
That undiscovered planet in our sky
And as the moon, from some dark gate of cloud
Throws o'erthe sea floating bridge Of light.

SO from the world of spirits there descends
A bridge of light connecting it with this,

RENTING MONEY BY MAu-A very i'm
portant case has recently come before the Uni
ted States District Court at Richmond, Va,
Chief Justice fancy presiding, in which the
question arose whether money RENTED by
mail from debtor to 4 creditor, such money
being lost before it reached its destination,
was release Of the debtor from obligations
Of the debt The Chief Justice decided that
the plaintiff having requested his debtorto re-
init the money, without specifying or direct
ing how it WAS to be sent, and the detendcnt
having complied with the request by remit
ting through the mail as was the custom with
others to do the debtor would not be held
obliged to make good tho loss. The deci-
sion is in conflict with other cases involving
the same principle, the Chief Justice hold in
that the former decisions were not correct.

Dg~ The Governor Of Alabama in h

re-" The Governor Of Alabama in his late
message to the Legislature of that State, has
the following, which shows a commerdable
degree of progress in that section:
The code very properly provides that slave
children of tender years shall, at judicial and
some other sales, be offered with their moth
ers, where the defendant in execution, &c, is
the owner both of the mother and children
and that at such sales slaves must be offered
and, if practicable, sold in families. But il
is allowable for either of the parties in interest
to impair, to a great extent, these very saluta-
~ enactments. The provisions, in my Judge
ment, should be absolute, at least as it respects
N others and children of ten years of age and
under, and husband and wife, where the lat
ter relation is admitted by the owner Of the
slaves. These are relations Which moral du
ty requires as to respect, and it can be nc
violation of policy to conform municipal law
to good morals. 1t is universally conceded
that slaves are reasonable beings-with the
III oral feelings, it is true often obtuse, but
susceptible of Improvement The husband
and wife generally cherish affection for eacl
other, and mutual attachment of mother an,
child is usually strong. The mother is no
always a wise counsellor, but she must b,
presumed to be the most constant and sincer
the child has. Let then, the latter enjoy th
parental oversight during childhood, that i
may by the better principles and industrious
habits, to act its part afterwards.
The propriety Of exempting slaves from ex
ecution, either to partial or unlimited extent
lisa question Of cxpediency merely-an excess
of credit is celtainly a great evil in the State
often prejudicial to the interest Of the debtel
occasionally SO as to the creditor-injurou
to public morals, and productive Of much sui
fering in families. So far, then, as such
measure may affect credit, it is not very oh
iectionable.

So, again, as to Cuba: We who condemn
Slavery are making no attempts to abolition
ize Cuba, nor to bring her influence to bear
against Slavery, whether within the Union
or out of it. But pro-SIavery agitators are
constantly at work, first, to perpetuate Slave
ry in that important island; next, to bring
her into the Union, whether by negotiation,
by revolution, or By war.
Fellow-Citizens of the Union are not the
facts as we have stated them? Does any one
gainsay them! And if not, is it not mon
strously wrong in the Conservative and Cot
ton Press to brand as as disturbers and agita-
tors and commend gu. adversaries as devotees
ofpeace and harmony! Judge whether they
or we are most faithful to the Union, the Con
stitution and even to the Compromises which
they are perpetually clarifying but as prepet-
ually plotting to circumyent or struggling to
subvert.-N T. Iii6.
