AN NIVERSARY MEETING.

The THIRTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING ofthe Hesteyn
Anti- S2dreiy Society will be held at ALLIANCE,
Stark Co., o., commencing on Saturday, the 25th
day of August, and will probably continue three
days.
The place selected by the Executive Committee
for the meeting, is easy of access, and it is believed
the Accommodations for those in attendance will be
ample.
Let all who feel an interest In the cause of
Freedom strive to be present. The platform of
the Society is free and all who desire to present
their peculiar views, or advocate their particular
plan of action for the overthrow Of Slavery, will
be cordially welcome.
In these days, when the Southern Oligarchy is
making its desperate moves, when the Anti Slavery
sentiment Of the North is beginning to awaken, it
becomes us all wisely to enquire in what manner
we can render our efforts most available, and
whether we should not all unite our forces under
the banner of "No Union piM Shareholders"
Come, then, to the gathering on the 25th!

Prom the Boston TELEGRAPH. June Oh

Captain Goodrich Of the Grace Darling, the base
paltruon who betrayed the colored people of Nor
folk who had sought his aid to reach a land Of
freedom, is, we regret to chronicle it, a resident of
Manchester, in this State. On Saturday he was
waited upon by Il committee of gentlemen of this
city, to learn some particulars of the affair in
which his name is now so dishonorably connected,
but he d~oggedly refused to give any information
whatever, but in true braggudo"io style intimated
that those who didn't like his conduct might make
The most Of it, and that he would shoot the first
man that laid hands upon him for violence.
On Saturday evening, this mental took the cars
for Manchester, and upon arriving at his residence
was waited upon by some of the neighbors and
residents of the town, who, justly indignant that
such reproach should come upon their beautiful
village by the presence of such a heartless wretch,
essayed to draw from him some information or ex-
PLANTATION of the matter. lie again declined to
satisfy the proper curiosity oyinced by the public,
was very curt in his communications, and content.
ed himself with simply intimating that he should
make a statement in a few days in the public Jour
mails, of his doings. The interview, and manner
of the ran, was anything but satisfactory to the
good people of the town, who shortly after pre-
pared and run up on the public square, in
front Of the Orthodox church, an ehgy of the
treacherous captain, labelled in these words =
" Judas ID the oppressed for thirty pieces Of silrer."
The figure was suffered to remain all through yes
terday Sunday, meeting the gaze of hundreds,
and was still in sight this morning. Great feeling
is manifested by the citizens of Manchester, at
the conduct Of Goodrich, and they will probably
make some public demonstration Of their indignant
sentiment.
Capt. Goodrich came to the city, this morning,
in the cars, an object If aversion to all the passen-
gers, save himself who, one after another, as they
entered, desired he should he pointed out to them.
He is probably about his vessel to-day, but no
demands of business, doubtless, will efface from
his consciousness the sense of loathing with which
he is viewed by all honorable men for his inhuman
conduct.
The following hapdbill was posted about our
streets, in the neighborhood Of the shipping, yes

Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1855-07-07
KANSAS.

The old Abolltiohists Of Ohio remember the able,
faithful, sel!-sacrifcing pioneer labors of Augustus
and Susan Wattles, in behalf of the slave and the
free colored man. They were this spring among
the emigrants to Kansas, and are now living in
the neighbour pod of Lawrence. Augustus has
been elected to the Kansas Legislature, though
his seat will most probably Re given to the tool
OF the Missouri DULLES. We make an extract OF
two from recent private letters received from them.
Mrs. Wattles says, under date of June l4th:
1--WE want to hear your Bugle notes away out
here. Slavery or no Slavery is the absorbing topic
here.
Augustus has been elected to the Legislature,
but his seat, with that Vt several others, will be
claimed by pro-slavery candidates, chosen by n
Missouri mob. Many families have come hun
dreds and thousands of miles for the sole purpose
of keeping slavery out of Kansas, and l think
they will succeed. Among these is one man,
nearly sixty years old, who came from one of the
most northern counties in Maine, Such selfsac-
rifcing zeal will do good"
or the country and the settlers Augustus writes {:
ut is the newest country that / ever saw.
People living in tents, and shanties, and wagons
and sod houses, just staying till they can get
something planted. No mills, no shops, no fields,
no nothing to remind one of old countries. Plenty
of Indians, much more civilized than the Missouri
banditti. You can have no idea of the insolence
and aggressive conduct of these Missourians. But
the country is beautiful and fertile beyond any
thing that | ever saw. l hope thousands will
come in from Ohio this fall. Some come here and
return disappointed, because they did not find good
schools, meetings, hotels, farm houses and villages.
Some complain that they get wet when it
rains. Some come here with not more than 500,
and make themselves good homes. Some come
with 5000, or $500, and travel and board out till it
is all spent, and then return home cursing the ter
ritory. One half they have spent would have pro-
cured them good homes, with new country improve
ments.
ain love, in haste. yours,
