he was taken to the pest house.
1t so happened that he was engaged to
be married to most estimable and ami.
able young lady. No sooner did sha
hear OF his condition than she determined
at once that she would nurse him. She
underwent vaccination, and then went
where they had taken her betrothed, to
the pest house. Here she found him, a.
lone, sick, wretched, deserted by all the
world. And here she remained like a
angel, waiting beside his bed
Of pain, soothing his distresses and at

how eonsoling must have been his last

Though all the world had forsaken him.

ers in carriages, &C., &c. They moved
to the South Ferry, the streets to which
were tbronged with spectators, and at
Greenwood the last rites we're performed
by the United Americans. tits estimated
that from fifty to one hundred thousand
people were out on the occasion. The
Procession proper was composed of about
6O00 persons, with line of l55 carria-
ges.
The pall-bearers were Thomas Hyer,
Aid. Drake, William Kent, Cyrus Shay,
Mr.. Lane, Samuel Long, Daniel Williams,
and Charles Feitner.
The flag used for the pail was made
from silk, raised in the immediate vicip-
ity of Poole's birthplace and was present
cd to the Crystal Palace for exhibition
and use.
The deceased was dressed in black, ac-
cording to his last request, with the scarf
of the Order of United Americans laid a
cross the body. His wife and family sat
beside the coffin, distracted with grief, and
near them stood Tom Hyer, the noted
fighting man, sobbing like child. The
services were conducted by Rev. j. B.
Wakely, Methodist, formerly of Jersey
city, who read the Goth Psalm, followed
by an impressive address.

KANSAS N CONGRESS.

The Stringfellow %rufians, who chafc so under
the name, have selected as their next representative
in the Federal Congress, Gen. Whitfield, and the
negotiating Free Sellers have made the fitting
choice of the compromising Reeder, who refuses to
be kicked into any thing like manliness by the
Pierce Cabinet.
Both these persons will proceed to Washington,
and, laying their credentials before Congress, claim
their seats as Representatives of Kansas. There
is no doubt in the mind of any one that Reoder will
be the legal choice of the people of that Territory,
and as the Free Sellers have, we believe, n decided
majority in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, we shall see how much their professions Of
devotion to the anti-slayery cause, or, rather, tc
the cause OF " free soil and free men," (for they
make a distinction are worth.
For ourselves, we have but little hope Of an issue
favorable to liberty; the South entered upon the
government of this country with an overwhelming
advantage, and have ever since, by means of fat
terry. cajolery and bullying, and what is more pc
tent than everything else, governmental patronage
preserved almost undisputed sway in the nationa
councils. We have little doubt that they will
lnthis instance, as in the former case ii
whieh Kansas was concerned, boldly dash to thu
ground the absurd motto that freedom is National

tradiction in its very!phraseology,-and march on
ward with another giant stride to universal domi
nation. +.

mr., BARKER.

We acknowledge frankly, as it seems Mr.. Bar
ker desires an expression Of opinion from us, on
this point, that we do not and have not. from the
beginning, entirely agreed with Mr.. Foster, that
the Republican Party is the greatest obstacle in
the way of abolition, while, at the same time, we
see much truth in his assertion that were the half
way measures taken which that party proposes, q
very large proportion of its members would sub
side into a state OF apathy and Indifference greater
than that from which they have been partially
awakened by the Nebraskan fraud, imagining
themselves freed through such action from all par
~ticipancy and completely in the matter. SO much
on this point.
But we very decidedly protest against Mr.. Bar
ker's declaration that this was tho sole issue, in
the controversy between himself and Mr.. Foster.
We should certainly rely on our own very distinct
memory Of the points mooted in the discussion;
fortunately, however, this is quite unnecessary, as
every member of the Republican Party there pres
ent will, we doubt not, freely testify to the truth
fulness and accuracy of our previous statements.
We have the most definite recollection possible,
that Mr.. Barker did several times during the dis
cussion, express his entire confidence that Mr..
Chase and the Republican Party would do their
duty in the premises, or that, in other words, as
we have already said, he defended the party as il
%eaistS. Now all VIC have to say is, that if Nv.
Barker can honestly cherish this Confidence i'll
full view of the numerous facts bearing upon the
question, and showing clearly the compromising
and pro-slavery position taken by the party thro'
its leaders, facts whivh it is unnecessary to iterate
in this connection. we say if Mr., Barker can still
cherish this confidence in view Of all these facts
we shall certainly be obliged to concede that he is
possessed in a |pre-eminent degree of what is Ere
quently termed "a c~onfding nature"
But we do not care to continue the subject fur
Their. Discussions Of this character mostly degen
crate into personalities, and we are quite sure tina
a continuation of this one would be. to the majority
of our readers both uninteresting and Improbable
By this we do not mean to cut off any further re
ply from Mr.. Barker; on the contrary, if he feel,
that any thing whatever, in this number Of thu
Bugle calls for a reply from him, we shall be mos
happy to publish any defence he deems it necesea
ny to offer.
We may just as well say here, that the meeting
which Mr.. Foster called for the Wednesday even
ing of last week was well attended, and eliciteC
some discussion which we hope was pr )ftable t
all parties. Mr.. Barker was not present. i.

LETTER FROM JOSEPH BARKER.

DEAN Sin. l hope you will not think me un

respondent or associate editor, to end the contro-
versy in his own way. / mast repeat that the
only question between me and $, $. Foster was,
"are political abolitionists tho greatest obstacle to
the Anti-Slavcry cause ~ Mr.. Foster took the
affirmative. I took the negative. On no other
point have ! joined issue with him. IF you arc
now oil agreed, that political abolitionists afe NOT
the greatest obstacle to the anti. Slavery cause
TINT q man may act politically against Slavef$
without being a knaye, a villain, a %rufian, o liar,
u ~falseswearer, n slaveholdcr, &c.&c., if you and S.
S.Foster really think, that a man may he o political
abolitionist and yet be as sincere ansenemy to Sla-
very and as honest and ardent a friend of the
slave as you yourselves, the controversy may ftly
close. But to close it before this acknowledge
ment is made,-to close it in the deceitful and
dishonorable manner in which your anonymous
friend seeks to close it, would neither be to my
taste nor to your credit. Aa ~

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

may ho forced by her master into debauchery
against her will, and then slain by her mistress for
a.erime she could not avoid.
Thisis an institution that a few Of our would
be- Democrats in Newport are going mad to Gus
tain but like everything else of the kind they
have attempted to support here must also fail
and God send they ever may. Democracy in it's
purity calls upon no system of tyranny from any
State for its support, nor upon any sect of ism OF
the day. 1t is an element of equal rights and
freedom, boundless and uncurbed by the institu'
tons of any State, and bids defiance to the sec
NeacS.
And this is the institution which according to

been, more or less connected with the anti-slavery
Nhereupon much ado was made by
several southern presses, and threats were very
distinctly made of n withdrawal of southern pat
ronage. as soon as the matter cam to Mr.. Go
dey's ears he strnightway got down on his knees as
all repentnnt persons should do, and penned, in
that posture, a most humble apology, declaring
that he did not mean anything'--the quotation is
not from Mr., Godey--and, without consulting the
lady at all, summarily removed her name from the
title-page of his magazine. Upon learning these
facts Mrs. l.. very properly refused to have any
thing further to do with a concern SO oontempti-
BILE, and declined contributing longer to the maya
zine. Now we ask how such disaffectiop to the
institution of slavery as this of Mr.. Godey's to the
cause of freedom would have been received in the
South. The editor would undoubtedly have found
himself without q single subscriber at the end
of one month thereafter. And why is that the
northern people are less jealous in their devotion
to liberty thon the southcrners in their care over
the interests Of slavery2 We leave each one to
answer for himself. But one thing is altogether
certain. that just SO long as the present cuipa-
Bile apathy and Indifference are manifested on this
question will such lickspittles as Cooley and his
"noio NV MI tneir oockets NJ te expense OF
American literature and American manliness, for
depend upon it the South will Arrays be true to
herself.
The Harpers, too, are constantly, either directly
or indirectly, playing into tho hands of the Slave
Po yer, as any one who watches their magazine
closely will see, and this has been their uniform
course, ever since they have been engaged in the
business of publishing. The only way to reach
these paltering sycophants is through their pockets
let the people of the!North take the matter in
hand cnergetieally, and with the nerve which al
ways distinguishes the South under similar cir
cumstances, and we will warrant a conversion
1t is high time that th.s servility of American
literature to southern despotism should cease, and
that erety ruth that favors freedom should be ut
tered with perfect independence.
In addition 10 the article on Kansas, there is il
the October number Of Putnam q variety of other
excellent matter. The magazine possesses a high
literary tone, and compares we'll with British pub
locations of n similar character. 1t is an honor t.
tie country. what can be said of few other at
tempts in this direction that have ever been made
among us. l..

THE ENEMIES OF THE SOUTH.

Tho real foes Of the South are not those who la

States are not those who deplore the existence oil

tile South for centuries to come, and the mad dem.
agogues who are ever trying for political purpo-
ses to get up panics or to commit some new en-
eroachment upon the constitutional rights Of the
free States. These men would madiy build up &
despotic power in the federal government to affect
their purposes to-day, and reckless that to morrow
that same despotism may be welded to destroy
the nndoubted rights Of the slave States. The
moderate men Of the South, the sober and re

The union want no such ultraism. They foresee
that tyranical precedents in their favor may come

now on the brink Of a mighty volcano-and tina
within a week or month or year incendiary fire!
may sweep over the garden Of America. and a ser
vile war bring with il all the horrors Of its doings
