MEETINGS IN CANFIELD.

Our correspondent has our thanks for the follow
ing notice of the meetings of Mr. and Mrs. Foster
at Garfield. We understand quite number Of the
Wings and Democrats assembled on Thursday night,
to hear Mr.. T. dress down the Free Sellers, and
thus get some comfort to compensate for the licks
of Mr.. Lewis and Others administered ON the Tues
day previous. But they were sadly taken in by
their own presumption; for seldom have they given
a better illustration Of gumption, in jumping out
of the frying-pan into the fire." than on that oc-
casion.
Editor Of He Bugle;
DEAR Sir: Our friends Stephen and Abby Foster
held meetings here the evenings Of the LIST and
ID inst Their meetings were large for the place,
and very quiet and orderly.
Stephen gave us one of his strong speeches, which
he so well can do, though characterized with con-
siderable mildness, showing the participation and
responsibility of the two political parties, in and
for the guilt and crimnalty of slavery.
There were many both Wings and Democrats in
the audience, giving evidence of their determination
to be true to their pledges of putting down agitation
by sitting quietly they could, listening to Mr..
Fosters whitening denunciations of themselves and
their party. Whether they discoumtenanced it or
not, is impossible to sayas the house was too dmly
lighted for close observation. tits reasonable tc
suppose, however, that they did.
Abby spoke at some length, and very ably tC
prove that slavery is not the creature of legislation
that public sentiment is law, and that it makes but
little difference to American citizens what the law
is, since public sentiment controls it, Their lee
lures seemed calculated to produce good effect
and though there is great suficicncy of Other
kinds Of preaching here, the light of the gospel o
liberty is very much needed.
Is there not cause for encouragement in the aspect
of the times at PRESENT. In the great caudron o
politics is seething and foaming the remnants Of
the old political parties, and even now men mus
take sides in favor either of liberty or slavery and
when they become mergedin the two great parties
with slavery or slavery the question at issue, tn,
cause Of universal freedom must advance. q.

TUE WAY TO DO IT.-The Free Democracy of
New Hampshire, have recently held q great CON
vcntion. A correspondent Of the TriJtne reports
one of the speakers saying that if John p. Hale
had given the State thorough anti-saycry canvass
he might have been returned to the United States
Senate. We think he is probably near the truth.
Mr.. Hale did u great anti-slavcry work in New
Hampshire previous to his election but since then,
if we remember rightly; he has not been rcmarka-
BILE for his home agitation. Mr. Gddngs has main
aincd his position, only by ndeihtgablc antslavcry
lecturing in his district. Political craft and man
agcment would utterly have failed to return him
boldly dcnouncing slavery, and everywhere an
nouncing himself its eternal, unrelenting foe,
secured the respect and won the confidence of the
mon of his district, and they sent him to Congress
in spite of opposition almost uncxamplcd, in the
history of unscrupulous eloctionccring. We COM
mend his example to the similarly circumstanced.
Lucy STONE, hash on an anti-slaycry Mission
into Vermont. Mr.. Claffn Minister Of that State,
reports most avorably of her abors in the Liberia
tor. lie says: "Thc friends of the slave feel that
Miss Stones visit to Vermont, was very timely and
will tend greatly to advance the cause of freedom,
civil and religious"
OF Miss Stone he SAYS
"IIer soul is in the subject ficr heart and
mind seem all radiant and luminous with love and
truth, elcyatng and sou-stirring, that she holds
her hearcrsn captivity, and in the language
of another, it is beautifully true, that her words
sway themulttude as pendent vines swing in the
summer breeze" Under her stirring appeals, the
consccnccs of the people have been painfully ar
oused. Men in high places have been faithfully
rebuked and much latent pro-slOvery has been
brought into vigorous activity"
This writer is an erdngeticat minister. But of
another stripe from the Editors of the Christian
Press and Oberlin Evangelist. Who advise their
readers not to go to meeting with such abolition
istsas Miss Stone, and talk of Withdrawing even
from the Free Soil party" if its members will
give countenance to such fanatics.

who made and support the Constitution and laws?
This is the kind of company Free Sellers were
keeping. No good is to be accomplished in this
way. Look over the results of political action and
compare them with the results of moral oction.-
No living ant-slavcry action could be found except
in the track of old organization moral suasOn anti

How TO AVOID THE YELLOW FEVER.

How TO AVOID THE YELLOW FEVER
Doctor Hayes, of New Orleans, says the
yellow fever in that city can be stopped in
six days, if his rules are strictly compiled
with. He says the yellow fever is a pro
cess of acclimation, and by the scientific
research heh ha found that the fever itself
points out the mode Of cure or prevention.
The means of prevention he says are:
"First. To take nofood for four days
The fever compels you to do SO Cd,
TO remain still for seven days The fe-
yer compels you to dosol. Sd. To take
ten grains of quinine every morning.
I The fever compels you to do so 4th,
To drink only river iced-water for four
days the fever compeles you to do so
5th, To take only meat tea, no matter
what kind, on the fifth day The yellow
fever vigorously requires the same] 18th
To use only little meat, meat tea or soup
ON the sixth day-LThe fever enjoins the
same 7th To use meat soup and
bread The fever enjoins the same
On the eight day the relaxation of the
new inhabitant and the climate exactly
balance. and no yellow fever can put a
finger on him. @ ya

NOVEL USE OF A KIss.-A kiss ever
since the days of Adam, has been to-
ken of friendship: but alas! it has served
traitors purpose in some cases, as may
be seen by the following 4
A gentnot many miles from Shipensburg,
returning from sleigh-ride, on arriving
at the paternal mansion of his lady, gave
and received kiss of friendship, as he
supposed; but alas! the sequel will show
how much he was mistaken, for the door
having been closed he overheard the fol
lowing conversation:
Why, Lucy! aint you ashamed to kiss a
man out there alone with him? When ]
was girl | wouldn't have done it for the
world.
"No, mamma, am not, answered Lu-
cy, for | only kissed him to tell by his
breath if he had not been drinking"

The Island of Jamaica.

Mr.. Wood our new Consul as Valpar-
also, on his way tbither touched at Ja-
maica. In letter to a friend in Ohio he
describes the condition into which thesud
den and emancipation of the negroe
slaves in Jamaica has reduced that mag
nifcent island. An act Of misguided
philanthropy has been the ruin Of both
whites and blacks, and the miserable race
which it was designed to bless appear to
be fast relasping into a state of utter bar
barism. The following is an extract from
Mr.. Woods letter.
About 10 o'clock A. NJ, we came in
sight of Jamaica. Mountains appeared,
rising several thousand feet. On the near
ing the land we took on board black pi-
lot, ran close in with the shore about thir-
ty miles to Port Royal, and entered the
harbor Of Kingston which, you know, is
on the south side. Wewere close in with
the land from the time we reached Jamai-
ca until we entered the harbor. We saw
many plantations, the buildings dilapida-
ted, fields Of sugar cane half-worked and
apparently poor, and nothing but that
which will grow without the labor Of man
appeared luxuriant and fourisling. The
island itself is of great fertility one of the
best of the Antilles: but all the large es-
states upon it are now fast going to ruin.
In the harbor were not a dozen ships of all
nations; no business was doing and every
thing you heard spoken was in the lam
guage of complaint. Since the blacks
have been liberated they have become In
dolent, insolent, degraded and dishonest
They are rude beastly set Of vagabonds.
lying naked about the streets, as filthy as
the Hottentots and I believe worse.
On getting to the wharf the first thing
the blacks of both sexes, in great numbers
perfectly naked, came. swimming about
the boat, and would dive for small pieces
of coin that were thrown them by the pas
fsengers. These they would catch in the
water or pick from the bottom. They
never fail, though the water is twenty fee
deep. a
The harbor Of Kingston is spacious and
secure. The city is old and in ruin. Or
enteringit the Strangers annoyed to deatf
by the black beggars at every step, and
you must often show them your pistols OF
an uplifted cane to rid yourself of theil
opportunities. ~.

A&GooD ONE.-They tell a good story
of Lorenzo Dow, or a perambulating
preacher Of his school, to the effect, that
riding once in stage coach on his way to
an appointment, he fell in company with
some wild young blades, who were led
from his eccentric appearance and manner
to imagine that he was proper subject
for their jokes and railery. He at once
humofed their design, by affecting silli-
ness, and making the most absurd and
senseless remarks. Upon arriving at the
place where he was to stop, they ascer-
tanned who their but was, and began to-
apologize, observing, in extenuation of
their rudeness, that his own conversation
had misled them. sOh,' said he, that's
my way; I always try to accommodate
myselfsto tie company am in; and when
I am among fools I talk foolish baa
