DEAR MARIus: Last weeks Bugle lies before me
and, in glancing through its columns, l see that
your printers have made bad work of my speech
at Marlboro, on the religious character of the anti
slavery enterprise. Between the sentence ending
with peculiar and essential to our nature" ,near
the bottom of the column of your first page,) and
at is the brotherhood Of man." several sentences
are omitted and, in consequence, the sense of the
whole passage is spoiled. You have probably
thrown away the manuscript, and of course cam
not now supply the omitted sentences and l cannot
do SO from memory. Still, however, l may
help the case a little, and show that there ras a
connecting link between the two sentences; by
giving, as nearly as l can the substance of q part
of the omitted matter. 1t was something like this.
Now we are told that God made man in his own
manage, and after his own likeness. Manhood, or
humanity in its highest sense, therefore, is God
likeness, or, as we have softened the word by fire..

mainly and sound words, when what IL calls inf
deity, marshals its forces with godlincss for its
watchword, and the worlds conscience on its
side.

identical with those taught by Jesus and his apps.
ties. And what is our fundamental principle?
Then follows, as an answer to this question, the
sentence at is the brotherhood of man" &c.

for Congress, answers the interrogatories address
ed to him relative to Slavery in the following
letter:
e CANTON, Sept. Ia, 1854.
GENTLEMEN: Your favor of the 18th inst, was
duly received, accompanied by interrogatories to
me, which, after examination, / take great pleas
ure in answering. j have no disposition to dis
guise any of my political opinions; but, on the
contrary, feel anxious that every voter in the Dis
trict shall know my true position on all the ques-
tons involved in the present political campaign. l
therefore say, that wish it distinctly understood,
that In accepting the nomination of the anti-Ne-
braska Convention of this District, for Congress, |
enlisted in the cause of human freedom, and will
vote and act with its friends, if elected, on all
questions involved in the present struggle between
freedom and slavery, without any regard to party
Obligations. l regard the present administration
OF the general government, as pro-slavery and anti
republican; and will, therefore, oppose it.
Will vote and act with the anti Nebraska men
in the organization of the House, as | think that
a proper organization of the House is one of the
most important acts of the session for the friends
of freedom.
am decidedly in favor of the repeal of SO much
OF the "Kansas-Nebraska" Act, as repeats that
part of the Missouri Compromise which prohi-
bited slavery north of 800 3O/; and, if elected, will
vote for such repeal, and for the enactment of a
law which shall prohibit slavery in any territory
belonging to the United States. =
l have always regarded the Fugitive Slave
Law as an outrage upon the free people of the
North-and, if elected, will vote for its repeal.
l believe "that slavery is an evil, and opposed to
the full development of the free institutions of our
country" and that it should be circumscribed
within its present limits in the States, and that no
more States should be admitted into the Union,
with Constitutions to~lerating slavery and if cleo,
ted, l will vote accordingly.
Yours truly,
B.. f. LETTER.

Ho~ d Man feels on q Sinking Bridge
The Cincinnati Commercial gives the following
statement in relation to the feelings of a person
in extreme danger at the time Of the falling Of
the Licking Bridge; "'r 7H~ E
Taylor Kers, who was on the bridge at the
time of the accident, and who was slightly in
jured, describes bis fall in the most graphic
style. During the descent he says that every
action of his life was recalled to his mind. The
most trivial circumstances were remembered.
The past was spread out like a great map
before him, upon which he could trace every
footstep he had ever ~taken--andthe future, he
confessed he had not much time to think of
that, but like a true American he slapped his
hand on his pocket.book which was in his
breeches pocket and held on for dear life, and
once or twice during the frightful descent
wondered "what the old woman would do for
market money"

Another Institution Of Learning.

We perceive, by circular, that Mrs. FOURIER,
assisted by her sister, will open an Academy Tor
young ladies nthe LIST OF March next, at n.r res
ldence at the foot of Main street. This school is
intended as a preparatory one for the Convent,
which, we are happy to learn, will be in progress
IN this place at a comparatively early period Of
time. Both the French and English Languages f.;
Music, under the instruction of Mr.. FOURIER ;
and every other accomplishment necessary for
young ladies', will be taught at the above ~Institu-
ton, at which several boarders in conjunction with
day scholars, will be taken.
We have no doubt that the above will be very
acceptable intelligence to a large number at our
readers, who, We have no doubt, have every conf
dence in the entire fitness of Mrs. FOURIER and
her sister for the responsible task they have as
susned. We have no hesitation in saying that
both will be found TO be eminently adapted for the
delicate and laborious vocation they have under
taken.

We extract the following paragraph upon the
above subject from a letter of the Washington cor

There is a growing disposition 10 r~epndiate

gogues who are mounting all sorts of hobbies,
and using every kind Of means to make their
way into the national tenement. Let them
have no opportunity to pack a convention that
will nominate them, and come into power under
pledges to dispose of the offices among their
most faithful v~assals."

Gratitude of Emperor Nicholas.

The officer whom Prince Menschikofr sent
from Odessa to st. Petersburg with the des-
patches announcing the victory at Sinope,
spared 10 eXertiou to accomplish his journey
with unusual speed, and on arriving at the capt.
tai, was according TO Russian custom, immedi-
ately ushered into the Emperor's presence, to
whom he delivered his dispatches, saying, II
bring your Majesty intelligence of the success
full issue of a considerable action" On which
the Emperor, much grantiied, took him with
him into his cabinet, and seated himself to
peruse their contents. When he had finished,
and addressed himself TO the welcome courier
to express bis delight at the tidings, he found
that the officer, worn out with fatigue, had
fallen asleep, nor was he to lie aroused by any
ordinary means. With that quick appreciation
ofhuman nature peculiar to the Gar, he called
out roughly, "Your horses are ready" and the
Jealous courier at once started up to his sup
posed duty. The Emperor then inquired of
him what rank be had2 "Capitan." swell,

doubtless the better part of valor: Even those
who are in favor of the bill as regards its justice
will be forced to vote against it as a matter of
~polcy-pollcy, so ~all-inportant as to shroud all
contention for an abstract principle of right, which,
if obtained by the passage of this bill, can never
be of any practical utility to the SoulLernor slave
holding population, for reason Of the natural dis
advantages OF the territory in question. C.
Although We think it was an act Of injustice to
the South; the adopting of the Missouri Compro-
mise, or the enactment of any other law, which
virtually excluded a portion of the citizens of
the United States from enjoying the advantages
OF any part of our wide domain-and we do not
believe such laws to be in accordance with the
spirit OF the Constitution as far as our limited ideas
eXtend-yct, on the other hand, now that such
laws are in existence, we think. it would be an
irnpolitic step the repeating Of them, which
would be the case We're the present bill TO become
4 law. q o'
When the Union compact was framed, slavery
was undoubtedly a domestic institution, over
which the national government exercised no con-

State in which it did not crist, as in those in which
it dm exist. Each State was admitted to have
the right TO abolish slavery, and each consequently
had the right TO authorize il; and in either case,
independent of the will or action of Government.
And SO the institution of slavery should have been
suffered to continue-to abolish it when a State
thought prope5 or to be introduced by the people
of each new State should they deem it expedient'
But alas! for the peace and happiness of the land,
Abolitionism and Fanaticism sprang up, through
a foreign instrumentality doubtless, which grew
stronger and stronger every year, until at length
their adherents became of such strength as to eff
feet the passage of the Missouri Compromise
and whether that first step Of direct error on the
part of Congress. in interfering in a matter over
which it had TO power, will lead to good or evil,
perhaps the fate of the above bill will determine.
We have no opinion to give upon the merits of
this bill, or whether its passage will be a curse or
a blessing. 1t is warmly opposed by great men, and
equally as warmly advocated by equally as blight
intellects. One thing is very certain respecting IT.
and that is, that whether it is successful or not it
will convulse and rock the Democratic party TO
its very centre. If this is all the erH that ensues,
we have cause TO be exceedingly thankful!

Apple, Without Seeds or Cores.-A cor
respondent of the Memphis Wing gives the
following recipe for obtaining apples without
seeds or cores:-Take the ends Of the limbs of
an apple tree, where they hang low, so as to
reach the ground, dig a small hole for each
end under the tree, bend it down and bury it
in the hole, combining it down so that it will
remain. Do this in the winter, or the begin-
ming Of spring. The end of the limb thus
buried will take root and pat up sprouts or
scions, which when they becomes sufficiently
large to "set out" dig up at the proper season,
and transplant them in the orchard where you
wish them to remain. When they get large
enough to bear, they will bear apples as above.

Names cf sizes of Printing Paper-For-
merIy such names as Flatcap, Deny, Medium,
Royal. Super>royal, Elephant, Double Medium,
Mammoth, were used to designate regular sizes
of printing paper; but at present such paper is
designated chiefly by inches, as % by %, etc.
Only a few of these names are now much used
TO denote a standard or particular size of paper;
these are Flatcap, IA by II inches; Medium,
10 by 81 inches; and Double Medium, "a by 80

On Wednesday afternoon last, the pupils of the
Catholic College, to the number probably of one
hundred and upwards, under the direction of Rev.
c. CHAMBosT, Principal of the Institution, and
his Assistants, paraded through the streets in pro-
cession with Haunting banners and sweet music
from wind instruments, by a band composed of
the scholars, pupils of MI. H. FOURIER. who act.
ed as leader to the band. The sight was a very
pleasing and interesting one-both for the happy
example which it presents of SO many young men
being in the pursuit of knowledge, and for the va
rious reflections which it introduced to the mind.
We trust that a display like the above will be Of
ten repeated-iffor nothing else, that it may be
witnessed by idle boys and negligent and rulpable
parents.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The last proposals of
the Emperor of Russia have been rejected. Count
Orlof's mission has proved an entire failure, and
negotiations are broken off.
The Russian Ambassadors at London and Paris
have Withdrawn, and the English and French
Ministers at St. Petersburg have been recalled.

steamer have been taken by the British govern
ment for the transportation of troops to CON-
STANTINOPLE, and waf ships and steamers are
in active preparation to leavGthe the French ports
with troops.
The Fleets.
The allied fleets at the last accounts were at
