ANOTHER PLAN.

The Colonization Society two or three years ago
made the most vigorous efforts to secure an appro-
priation by congress for the establishment of line
of steamers, to run between this country and Libe-
ria. Its especial object was to carry missionaries
for the conversion of Africa. For somo cause or
other this Missionary enterprise failed Of success
and the line Of Ebony Steamers has not been cstab-
lishcd. And the cargoes of Missionaries annually
shipped, are compelled to trust to wind and tide
alone, for their progress during their voyage But
this slow process does not answer in this fast age
and tired of waiting upon Congress, Mr.. Ralph
Randolph Gurey, advcrtiscs for donations or loans
to build steam ship for this purpose. As an in
ducement to liberaity, donors of $1,000 will be
honored with life dictatorship in that pattern of
Missionary Associations-the American Coloniza-
ton Society.
Africa has need to be converted by steam. For
what with fugitive slave laws, and Nebraska Bills

THE SUBSTANCE OF 1T.

The correspondent of the New York Tribune
gives the following rs the substance Of the speech
Of Stephens, of Georgia. on the Nebraska bill. IL
is the Substance of the thought, and tho ground
Of hope Of the whole batch ofsouhen ovcrsecrs and
northern slaves who go for this internal mcasdrc
And they arc probably not mistaken. The Tribune
says;
"Wcll gentlemen, you make a good denl Of
clamor over this Nebraska measure, but It don't
alarm us at ALL We have got used to that kind Of
talk. You have threatened before but you never
reformed. You always cavcd in and you will
again. You are mouthng, whitc-livcrcd set. OF
course you will oppose the measure; we expect
th1t but we don't care for your opposition. lon
will rail, but we are used to your railing You will
hiss, but so do ndders. We expect Il of adderx,
and we expect IL Of you. You arc like the devils
that were pitched over the battlcments Of heaven
into hell. They set up howl at their discomfturS
and so will you. But their fate was sealed and SO
is yours. You must submit to the yoke, so don't
chafc. Gentlemen, VIC have got you in our power.
You tried to drive us to the wall in 1850 but things
are changed. Then and before you were imperiuus
and grasping and would not agree to run tho line
of 36o 30> to tho Pacific and take all the the terri.

and wanted more. But now you will lose tho

ing devils who shall all be sent to hell"
After this sort the Honorable Stephens ran on.
II was very much like lecture Mr. Legrcc might
go out and deliver to q plantation of his slaves:
" You want your liberty do you? Well, you can't
have il. You think you have rights, do YOU
Well, I'll show you that you have none. You havo

We trust the people Of the North will exhibit
proper degree of humility and manifest an obedi.

prepared to submit with good grace to the dom

else let them rise in their might and grind every

A SCREW LOOSE AT WASHINGTON.

EDITOR BuGLE-Sir The clergy of New York
by the aid of telescopc moral vision, have discoy.
cred that the American Government is positively
imperative in the far off Lands of Italy, Austria
and Spain, for Madiai, his wife and others have
been imprisoned for no other offence than Studying
the Bible precepts of Christianity" large meet
ing in behalf Of religious freedom in foreign lands
was held in Broadway Tabernacle, New York, when
after listening to stirring remarks from "Stuart,
Retchum and Robinson" the meeting gravely re-
solved, among other things, that in the judgment
of this meeting is the duty of these United States
to protect our fellow citizens residing or travelling
in foreign lands, in their rights of conscience and
religious worship" and that it is reasonable that
our Government should demand of other nations
the acknowledgement Of these rights" Near the
close of the meeting a Mr.. j. A. Fuller, whose
home sympathies had been correctly cultivated in.
troduced resolution calling upon the Government
% to secure the same rights and privileges to Amer
lean citizens throughout the United States" and to
"provide that it shall not be criminal offence for
an American citizen to teach the preeepts Of Christ
in their households without regard to color or
family relations" The New York Recorder sovs
=" this resolution was received with u good deal of
applause, but subsequently,, after some confusion,
was laid on the table, as not being embraced within
the objects of the meeting" Now, sir how much
confidence can we place in the benevolent syInpa-
thies Of the meeting for religious rights" abyol,d.
while they utterly repndiate the consideration OF
them at home.

Now, sir, suppose our Government should schd a
Minister Extraordinary to Spain, to demand the
acknowledgement Of these rights" And suppose
that after the failure Of all other inducements TO
obtain the desired acknowledgement he should
give his demand" moderate spicing Of coercion
by grape and canister is it not probable after all
that Spain would respond thus: with the highest
consideration of diplomatic etiquette, the Govern
mcnt of Spain feels itself constrained by sense
of national honor and self-respcct to regard the
guarantees of the Federal Constitution for the pro-
lection of American citizens at home in their rights
"of conscience and religious worship" and this we
do the more promptly from knowledge that those
guarantees are widely repudiatcd in America with
mpuniy and are not sufficiently practical to "pro-
tect" American females from imprisonment for
performing the conscientious" duty Of Learning
little niggers to read the Bible" ncr are your
guarantees sufficiently operative Mt home to "pro-
tect' negroes who meet for religious worship
after dark, for such are by your laws dispersed"
by armed police" In short the Spanish Gov
ernment receive II MS violation of international
courtesy that the American Government should
demand" Of as the strict observance Of guarantees
Of her own making, and which she neglects to on
force to the present hour In her own dominions p
Now Mr. Editor, is it not even probable that cotton
and sugar have something to do in subduing the
home sympathies Of the Metropolitan clergy, for
while city merchants are making golden profits on
these staples, they we'll aort liberal donations
to those Rev. gentlemen whose silent consent and
lack of rcbuko is positive Gibraltar to the nsttu
ton Of American Slavery.

A QUESTION ASKED.

FRIEND MARIUs: / would like to have room in
the Buglo to ask question for any one to answer
that chooses to do In Article lst and section %
of the United States constitution is the following
language.
Representatives and direct taxes shall be ap-
portioned among the several states, which may be
included within this union, according to their re-
spectiye numbers which shall be determined by
adding to the whole number of free persons, in.
cluding those bound to service for term of wears,
and excluding Indians not ''taxed Mree-fJihs ofaU
other persons"
Now the question which want answered
is this; What was to be the character of
those "three-6iths Of all other persons" and
what was to become Of the remaining two-6ftbs.
A plain and explicit answer will be received in
kindness and will do much to inform some who
cannot see why they should not say, and not only
say but proclaim from the very house tops their
utter abhorancc Of this Slavcholding Union. II
will be before long the watch word of every truo
lover ofhis kind, mo Union with Slayeholding ,,
