rs IT JUST so NoW7

NEAYpER, in his excellent history, in speaking of
Christian life in the first centuries, says of the
mutual kindness of early Christians; alt was
this, which, in q cold and selfish age, struck the
Pagans with wonderful behold men of different
countries, ranks, relations, stages of culture, SO
intimately bound together-to see the stranger
who came to a city, and by his letter aDd recogni-
ton made himself known to the Christians of the
place, as a brother beyond suspicion, finding at
once among those to whom he wGs personally IN
known, all manner of b~rotherly sympathy and
protection. Vol. l, p. 255, Tor. Trans.
Is it so? Perhaps, unless there may be sus'
picion of the sin of color.-E.J.

THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.

Much to our regret, we were unable to attend
tho Cincinnati Convention last week. For tho fol.
lowing notice wo are indicted to James Barnaby,
who was present and participated in its proceed
ings!
The An.i-Slavery Convention held last week at
Cincinnati, Il report of which occupies a large por-
ton Of this weeks paper, was an important one.
The attendance, though not quite SO numerous as
that of last year, was large, and the discussions
characterized by an earnestness and fidelity to
freedom rarely surpassed. The principal speakers
were q. w. Julian, of Indiana Antoinette J..
Brown, New York Wm. Wells Brown, Mass. [;
DR.. W. II. Brisbane, now of Wisconsin, John Ran
kin and othprs.
Mr.. Julian's. opening address, and Ills speech Of
Friday afternoon, condensed accounts OF which
may be seen in the report. were in the right spirit
and admirably suited to the occasion. Tho argu'
mont against the Know Nothing movement was as
able and conclusive as it was appropriate to the
time and circumstances. We trust he will give
the speech in full to the public, as it was n perfect
humiliation Of every claim which is or can be set
up in favor of this very peculiar, and at present
somewhat popular movement. That persons pro.
Tossing anti-slavery should ever have been misled
by such q shallow political a%rtifice, is to us n
marvel. That with all its recent developments,
there are yet professed abolitionists who sustain
and defend it, does not at all diminish our wonder.
Much regret was felt and expressed on account
of the absence Of Samuel j. May and Wendell
Phillips from the Convention. They were an.
nounced in the bills rs Expected, and many were
anxious to meet them. Lucy Stone, who was also
expected, was prevented by ill-health from attend
ing. Antoinette Brown acquitted herself nobly,
and VIM. Wells Brown, DR.. w. II. Brisbane and
others addsd much to the interest of the Conven-
ton. Our friends, the Grifings, were in attend
ancei and by their noble and cheering songs OF
freedom and progress, gave life and Joy to the
proceedings. Upon the whole, this Convention
has accomplished as much, perhaps more, for hu-
humanity, than any previously held and we hope
the noble spiri,s who compose the Anti Slavery
Society Of Cincinnati, will see to it that each re-
turning spring shall bring with it nm ~assemblage
of flee and noble men and women, such as came
together there last week, and that each succeeding
Convention shall take higher ground and accom-
plish more good than its predecessors.-J. d.

REMOVAL OF JUDGE LORING.

The Massachusetts, Senate has at length con-
Cured with the resolution of the House of Rep
resentatives for the removal of Judge Loring.
The vote as recorded was Is to IL. a resolution
permitting him to resign, was lost by about the
same vote. Governor Gardener it is said, will I'M
questionably comply with the request of the Leg
~islature. |...
Thus has the Anti-Slnvery sentiment of Massa-
chusetts extended a most encouraging rebuke to
Northern subserviency, and kidnapping under the
forms of law. Well done for Massachusetts. Well
done for her Legislature. --.--

Editor Of the Bugle-DEAR Sir: The prospect
for an abundant crop of fall wheat is considered
far better throughout this State than ever before.
Early sown oats and Spring wheat all look well.
Our restrictive liquor law was accepted by the
people in some Of the middle and eastern counties
rejected in the west and north. If carried
in tie State the majority will be small. l send a
few scraps indicative of the state of ecclesiastical
and editorial patriotism among us west Of the

piety of the christian Advocate published by q

REJECTED ADDRESS TO A WESTERN
EDITOR.

Sir: Passing yesterday through your city of
school-houso and plow-factory distinction, I was
surprised to sec the flag of stripes waving over
the handsome edifce that rises SO gracefully on
the west hill. What does that flag in that posi-
ton Indicate - Is that house, built largely with
the money Of Eastern Christians, a military depot
a recruiting station-an ARSENAL where the
machinery. for wholesale slaughter, drums. flies
and bugles mot often heard in Iowa thus far) are
kept?or is il put there to announce the now out-pour-
ing of the war spirit, so rife just nov or, to
tell us that pulpa-drumr ecclesiastic is as hereto
fore beat Nth fist instead Of stick ? or to make US
know that Mexican annexationists, slave-compel-
ling martinets staggering fllibusterers, and learn
ed baptists in mutual well-beseeming ranks
march all one way?"

AGRIcoLA IN DouBr.

"AoRlcoLA IN DoUBT," is informed that the
American flag which waves over the Baptist Col
lege, or did yesterday, simply indicated that it
was examination day-that it was not intended
to give that institution either u political or mill
tary character, but was simply intended to remind
the busy world of the semi-annuai exercises.
For ourselves we are unable to see anything i'm
proper in its use. We have indeed fallen upon
evil times when the use of the Star S~pangled
Banner" the emblem of our nationality, is to be
a reproach. That flag generally floats from the
dome of the capitol when Congress is in season.,
and although of late something of a bear-gar-
den the capitol never has been used either as II
military depot" recruiting station" or an
arsenal"
Whoever ne may be, for "Agricola" withhell
his name, he will please remember that around
that flag, which is emblematic of our government
and free institutions, cluster the warmest and best
affections of the American heart. Around its
stripes and stars, millions of freemen will, when
occasion demands, rally with stout hearts and
ready hands. 1t is appropriate any and every
whcre-whether floating above our battle ships,
over our merchant navy on the Ocean, or above a
seminary of learning where that intelligence in
dustry and application is impaired SO necessary
to an American Freeman.

THE AUTHOR OF TIE REJECTED ADDRESS
SIGNED 'AGRICOLA IN DOUBT REJOINED.

That Flag the symbol Of our nationality and
power is you say appropriate "any and every
where" enshrouding Bill POOLS coffin or Haunting
from a 4th of July pulpit Very likely. Yetamong
us farmers are many who doubt, Mr.. Jefferson
treribled for his country when he remembered
that God is just, even before fine and imprison-
ment were threatened and inflicted too for acts
of common humanity. Some among us though
not much addicted to trembling, yet blush to see
American learning and religion everlasting them
selves to bear aloft that emblem of slaughter and
land-piracy to Mexicans and Spaniards, Of whips
and chains of life long ignorance and unpaid toll
to negroes, when they remember that history is
impartial, that to nations as to individuals JUS
tice is done at last and that injury is as sure a
crop as any when its seeds are duly sown and its
young plants carefully nurtured. 1t was because
he thought your institution, the Hawk Eye News
paper, not fully committed to the defense of Sla-
very, that "Agricola" addressed you on the true
position of the UNIVERSITY of Burlington in that
respect he had no doubt.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The publick sentiment ,of Great Britain on the
Cuban question is as It should be, in regard to the
proposed stealing of Cuba by this government
The robber proceedings Of our government merit
and seem likely to receive the soorn Of honest men
the world over. The British. pres has recently
informed its readers of the state of the case. The
Leeds Mercury after giving the facts and charac-
teirsing them as they deserve, adds.
The most serious aspect Of this question is, that
it may lead at some time to war between the United
States and England and France. Ii the former
may and must seize Cuba, there are just the same
reasons to be assigned why it may and must seize
Jamaica and Guadaloupe on the South, and Cana
da on the North and we believe, therefore, that
England and France would resist the seizure of
Cuba, though they would not oppose its sale by
Spain. Some Of the proslavery papers of the
United States contemplate this, and speculate on
the course Of a war. They state truly that it would
seriously injure the manufactures of England, and
they are not blind to the consequences that it would
throw the Southern States out of cultivation, and
cause land and slaves to lose their value, as we'll
as nearly annihilate the foreign commerce of the
Union. Herein is our best security against an in
sane attack of the American Government on Cuba.
Years may elapse before b~ostilities break out but
as the state and tendency of things are serious,
and as the policy of the Government of the United
States is now first made known in authentic docu-
ments, we have thought it due to our readers to
give the above explanation.

A JEREMY DiDDLER.-About a week
ago a man and woman arrived at the Ocean
House and the man entered as follows OH
the Register. ~. H.::Buchannon & lady,
New York" Their baggage consisted of
one large black trunk. They were shown
to their room, where they remained all the
time except when they were out riding
All their meals were sent to their room.-
At the time Of arriving, the man let seal
ed pa kage at the Office, and desired to
have it deposited in the Safe, saying that it
contained $3.50; his request was complied
with. They fared sumptuously every day
and manifested no admiration of the NJ inc
Law. On Monday mJrning they were mis-
sing, having suddenly left for parts un,
known, forgetting to take their baggage, or
the $3.50 from The Safe. The trunk was
opened and found to contain about dozen
old newspapers. The scul on the package
in the Safe was broken, and instead of tipd-
ing $3.50, there were a number Of slips of
paper about the size of Bank bills. The
man was about 35 years old, tall, slender
and pale-!aced, with black whiskers T; he
wore a blue frock coat and white pants.-
The woman was medium size, rather stout
and quite handsome she wore a green
bonnet.

information, and trust that litors will give
the pair free notice, so that landlords may
