THE ANTI-sLAvERY BUGLE

THE CoNSrcrIcur ELEcrIoN.--The result Of the
late terrible election in Connecticut is but another
bombsholl thrown into the camp Of the admns-
tption. The imbeec establishment at Washing
ton is tumblng to ycccs: aud if the democratic
party do not soon prepare to abandon tho admins
tration to its fate, they must be swampea with 1t
among the breakers. The democrats in Congress
should begin to deliberate upon the ways and
means for saving the remnants Of the party, with
the view of something like nucleus to rally upon
in 1856. Itis very evident that Gen. Pierce is
failure that his administration is already Tyler
izcd-that he is but the instrument Of n mi SCRABBLE
spells coalition OF renegade freesoilcrs and trea-
sonable scccssionsts aud that the democratic par
ty of the Union can never be reunited except
upon new arrangement Of things all around. Let
tho democratic leaders in Congress look at the
New Hampshire election and the Connecticut cleo
ton, and then decide upon the question whether
it is oxpedont or worth while bolstcring up the
administration any longer, or whether it is not
advisable at once to cut adrilt and begin to clear
away the rubbish for democratic re union in
1856. No time to be lost--M J. Herald.

improved, in vigor and interest. We see it has
improved its platform considerably. Mr.. IIarts-
horns was mere skeleton staging. We could
never see any planks on which he or any one else
could stand. The two following planks will al
ways afford good foohold for any moral enterprise.
Whoever sticks to them need never fear q wreck.
The Editor goes for them; viz:
A strict independence Of thought and action;
No compromises hereafter with Slavery, but
Freedom always and Foreyer-Universal Freedom

to bind them to party spirit and to party drill.

INCREASE OF PosTAoE.-Mr. Olds, an old fogy
congressman from Ohio, has offered bill in the
House Of Representatives to increase the rates of
postage on letters to FIVE and ten cents. All post
ago to be invariably prepaid. The argument is,
that the present rates do not pay expenses. Mr..
Olds negects to state that cords of eectioneering
and pro-slavery documents are franked by con
grcssmen for their own personal or party benefit,
which if paid for, would bring the expenses of the
department within the range of its receipts, and
permit those who pay postage, to receive their let
tcrs for fair consideration. Well does the Lead

IMPRISONMENT OF CoLoRED BRITIsH SEAMES.-In
tho British House of Commons on the goth ult.,
the question of the imprisonment of British col
ored seamen brought forward, when Mr.. Kin
naird put the following motion:
"In what state the correspondence between
the British and United States Government with
reference to coorcd scamcn, being British subjects,
on the vessels to which they belong arriving at a
portin any of the Southern States, being imprisoned
on account Of their color and whether there would
be any objection to lay the correspondence on the
table of the lIouse?'
Lord JonH RUSSELL, in reply, stated that there
had been great deal Of correspondence, and bcnc.
fetal changes had been proposed in Georgia and
Carolina, which would soon be carried into effect
lie thought it was better not to produce tho
pondence, as hopes were entertained that there
would be great improvement in the legislation Of
the States he had mentioned.

DOLLARS PER DAY AND ROAST BEEF.

The Milwaukee Free Democrat furnishes the
following account of militia practice under the
fugitive slave law, in the case Of Glover, who was
rescued from the Jail Of that place, which is worth
pcrusnl.
at appears that on the day Of the rescue of
Glover, Deputy Marshal Cotton called on the Com
mandants Of the Military Companies to call out
their troops, but they declined to obey such
rcqnisiion without the proper authority. lie then
called on Gen. McMannan, requiring him 20 calf
out the troops under his command. Ilo said his
captains were military men, and would not uct
unless the provisions Of law strictly complied
with, and unless some authority would guarantee
that the troops should be paid. Finally, the U. s.
Attorney Sharpslein, after due constellation, GER
tilted that, in his opinion, Uncle Sam would be
bound to pay. Accordingly the necessary requi-
sition was made and, on the order Of Deputy Cot
ton, two companies, comprising III men, were sta
toned ut the Armory, and required to remain
there till further orders.
On Tuesday the Commandant waited on the
Deputy, to know how much longer the troops
should remain at the Armory. The Deputy Mar
shal, in great surprise, replied "You haynt kept
the troops at the Armory all this while have your
Certainly. You gave directions to keep them
there till further ORDERS"
Uncle Sans agents were nov in quandary
One hundred and eleven troops had been watching
for four days to prevent the escape of Glover,
though Glover had made his escape from Milwau-
three days previous. What was to he done? The
troops would not disband without their pay and
after some qubbling as to whether the command
ant should receipt for the troops the troops re-
ccipt individually for themselves, it was finally
agreed that the latter course should be pursued
and the Marshal had TO pay the eight dollars u
head, or eigH hundred and eightyeigd dollars, for
watching the Armory to prevent the escape of
Glover from Jail, three days after Glorer had lefi

this CITY 1rTeSied as a Sidrc.--Some time since
little coorcd girl named Mary Jane Scott Of this
city, visited New Orleans with her uncle 20 see an
aunt who resided there, After finishing her visit
she was placed in charge of Mr.. ID. Anderson Of
this city who was then in New Orleans with hi.

er Il. II. Winslow, Capt. McGill, and had pleas
ant and unannoyed passage until their arrival at
Louisville. The Wirslow stopped q short time at
that place, and without the knowledge of Mr..
Anderson, several police officers boarded the
steamer and against the protcstations Of the clerk
aud captnn carried the, little coorcd girl of,
under the plea that she was fugitive slave.
She was taken before q Court in Louisville and
committed to Jail until her friends could prove
her freedom.
10 do this, 1t was necessaryto come to Cincinna
ii. An attorney employed and sent down
with the necessary documents, and she arrived
here yesterday morning. Beside the anxiety and
vexaton to her friends it has cost them about fifty
dollars to obtain her release. 1t is said one of the
passengers on the Winslow caused her arrest by
reporting her to the police; yet they proceeded
without any other authority and with the assurance
from the officers of the boat that Mr.. Anderson,
who had her in charge, was responsible. We un-
dcrstaud the officers will be held to account for the

"SrUNPs."-DANIEL MACE is Congressman from
Indiana, who early and boldly denounced Douglas
fraud. Some of the Indiana papers have assaulted
him violently for this. In reply to one of these
papers, after exposing the hypocrisy of Douglas
and his associates, he advises the editor;-
Xix up something on these points. You have
sTuMPs in your county as well as PRESSES. l sug-
gest these things in Kindness and for ysur benefit,
not for my own. am very happy to knoo from
cords Of letters and remonstrances, that fully
sustained in my course by my constituents. How
did you stand on this question the Goth of JAN
'uary, when Douglas and the Union opposed the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise? / presume
you will have no difficulty in sending man to
Congress who will pledge himself to more when
H'oped upon by Douglas and the Union, and turn
and shift with them. ! think the Thing will be
killed in the House yet"

The Free Democracy calculated much upon his aid.
And while he was on his way to our State, some
Massachusetts, Free Sellers nominated him for us
as a candidate for Governor Of Ohio. But his
prospects in that direction are as yet not very
promising. We fear his anti-slavery labors have
ended with his political life and prospects. May
he yet disappoint our fears.

But who makes the sugari That question seems
to be left quite out Of sight in the discussion,
though it is the one that will be finally appealed to
TO settle it. If it we're southern planters who paid
the tax, and Northern farmers who reaped the
benefit we might hope for it's abrogation it is not
likely even that it would have been establish
ed. But the boot unfortunately is the other Leg
it is Southern planters who enjoy the benefit of the
protection, and Northern freemen who pay the
larger proportion of the tax. 1t is calculated we
believe, that the molasses alone, a sugar plan
taton, pays all expenses, leaving the sugar manu-
featured all clear profit, and some of the largest
plantations that profit ranges from fifty to hun
lred thousand dollars annually. We rather doubt

DUTY ON SUGAR.

Several papers in different parts of the country
are discussing the propricty of the duty on sugar.
This discussion has brought out some facts, which
il is quite well the people should understand.
The reasons assigned for the abolition of this duty
are certainly very good, but their very excellence,
is probably reason why they will not be needed
cd by our slavery fostering Congress They od-
vocate it, says the Anti-Slavery Standard
First on the general principle Of the free trade;
secondly, on the ground that rs sugar is necessa-
ry Of life, much for the poor the Oh, ought
to be afforded to all at the cheapest la,e at which
it can be produced and thirdly, that as the pro-
lection benefits but few persons Legislation in
favor of it is class legislation. All these are
sound arguments, and one of them should be
enough to induce Congress to put on the free list
"A. St. Louis paper thus puts the whole matter in a
nutshell:
"The total in duties collected upon foreign sugar
and molasses imported was;
For the year 1852 S5,492, ,332
For five years ending June, 1852 S25 5,iSO,4li
"The imposition Of this duty on foreign sugar,
adds to the cost or value of the same article pro
ducod in the United States, in the same proper
ion we must therefore, add TO the amount actually
paid in duties, the enhanced value of the suga
crop Of Louisiana during this period and this give

pooplc of the United States for the protection o
fifteen hundred sugar planters, in FIVE years--S3l
Is on every hogshead, or 7-S cents per pound fo
protection, on all sugar produced during that pc
riod in louisiana

lection to each sugarpanter the following state
