RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN SLAVERY.

The Congressional Globe, the official paper OF
Congress, in a recent article on the Eastern War,
gives vens to the following reflections on the Gear
Nicholas and his conduct:
Gle is IN able man, well instructed, sagacious,
and far-seeing and a pity il is that, instead of
making war upon his neighbors, to get from them
all the territory lie can, he does not, like his ances-
tor, Peter the great, dedicated himself more to the
developing of his extensive empire, in human
i1ling and enlightehing bis subjects, FIRST delivering
them from serfdom in liberalizing the public in
stltutione, and in promoting the great cause of hu-
man progress. Of this he does but little, notwith-
standing the show that is made about his capital
and the adjacent provinces. His thoughts are
mostly bent on war, and conquest, and annexation
lie always wants more land, and on this head he
is Unsuitable"
This is enc Of the choicest instances Of Satan re

Nicholas might well reply, what a pity it is, Anne
ricans, that instead Of making war, as you hav'
done, upor. the Indians and .Nexicans, and as yor

which men and women are prohibited by law from

EMANCIPATION IN TEXAS.

The Civilian, a Galveston paper notices q decis.
ion of the Supreme Court of Texas relative to the
power of l4casters to emancipate their slaves. The
Constitution OF Texas is very decided in its dis
enlargement of emf, ncipotion nevertheless from
this decision it seems thai masters may enamel.
pate if they will also remove th emancipated from
the State:
The case arose in Harrison Count. ul.,der the
will OF William I. Weathersby, in wich lie prHvi-
ded that three slaves should be freed, with the Hro-
viso that his executrix Mrs. Sherrod, his sister,
should send them to a free State, or to Liberia.
After his death his-heirs-at-law sued for the slaves.
on the plea that, under the Constitution and laws
OF Texas, they could not be emuncipated. The
pleadings are full, and refer to many authorities ::
but, the court, after an elaborate review of the whole
ground, and references to the decisions of Tennes.
see, Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama.
unhesitatingly decided that the will was a good
and valid one: that, as the slaves were to be sent
out of the State, the clause giving them money.
&c, did not take effect till they were beyond the
State, and therefore competent to take as benef-
Charles. The object of the restrictions was to pre-
vent free negroes from remaining in the State, not
to prohibit their emancipation and removal out of
it. The case settles this one great principle of
ability to emancipate by sending the negroes out
of the State"

HENRY A. WISE is stumping Virginia for the
Governorship. A Tribune correspondent heard
him at Alexandria, and says he Landed jefferson
as the author of the Declaration of Independence,
as the founder of the University, and the advocate
of religious liberation These illusions were
greeted with cheers, except that referring to the
Declaration Ct Independence. For that the Alex
andrians had no enthusiasm. They would likely
have induced sore throats with their vociferations
if he had referred to jefferson as a STAKEHOLDER.
Wise's great object was to prove that Know-Noth-
ingism is Abolitionism in disguise. A taking APP
peal to Ignorance and prejudice was his reference
to Governor Gardeners recommendation that none
should vote who could not read and write. Such
a limitation of the elective franchise would never
do in Old Virginia.

WHAT SLAVERY HAS DONE FOR THE
UNITED STATES.

1t has developed a spirit Of aristocracy in thu
nation and brought honest free labor into con
tempt.
Corrupted our religious organizations. and se
u - many Of our clergy and churches as ap0logist
for !, system Of oppression, violence, fraud and i'm
purity.
yofced q sectional question Into our nationa
politics, and re Feapedly endangered the existence
of the confederacy,
Plunged the government into Il crooked, false
and wicked policy, so that it is doubtful if it ever
comes out safe and sound.
Made it h honorable to plumber the public treas
ury and violate the Constitution 'for the sake OF
the Union"
Brought upon US the deserved reproach of in
consistency and hypocrisy abroad, so that the
struggling Republicans Of Europe no longer trust
to the sincerity of our professions, but regard us
as the natural allies of despotism.
Made it discredItable to obey the instincts of
humanity and the precepts Of religion, by opening
our mouth for the dumb, feeding the hungry, and
doing to the colored fugitive as we would that men
should do to us.
Involved us in a protracted Indian war, and in
a bloody struggle with Mexico, at an expense of
hundreds of millions Of dollars, and tens of thou
sands of human lives.
Prostituted the talents of our most illustrious
statesmen to the vile work of defending and apollo
giving for the 'sum of all villainies."
Added the brains of our foremost iurists. so
that they have affirmed opinions at war with the
laws of nature and the dictates of revelation, thus
p eryerting justice and enthroning the very essence
of that despotiSm against which our fathers took
up the sword of revolution.
Made tho word liberty an object of suspicion,
and transformed democracy" into a system for
trampling on the weak and helpless.
Shut the light Of literature and of Gods word
from oae-siyth of our population, and condemned
them to a life Of chattelship, i~ndignity, and unpaid
toll.
Engendercd a criminal and cruel prejudice
against men simply for the color of their skin so
that if che that hateth his brother is Il murderer"
we may also he said to stand charged before God
as a nation Of murderers.
Brought upon us the unparalleled guilt of hav-
ing perpetrated the greatest possible crime against
the rights of man, while in possession of the
clearest knowledge of those rights, and while
showing the keenest sensitiveness to any encroach-
ment upon our own rights of any people under the
sun.

system ought to be let alone Mia. Republican.

P. o. MONEY ORDERs.-On the 9Th inst. Mr..
Mayali, gave notice in the House of Representa-
tives, that be should introduce a bill establishing
a money order department in the Post Office. In
substenance the proposition ia to pay the money to
the postmaster of the place from whence it is de-
sired to make a remittance, who, for a small per-
centage, issues his order to the Post Master of the
place to which the remittancsis sent, who redeems
the order. Thus avoiding much of the present
risk of r~emitting money by mail. The adoption
of this system will be welcomed by the community
II will prove an especial convenience to Publishers

ADvANcEMENT.-Truly there are signs of en-
coura cement. The recent elections of United
States Senators-the action of the Supreme Court
of Wisconsin-the instruction of Michigan to her
Senators are all full of encouragement. Indicating
as they do a progress liberty ward among the peo-
pie. To this encouraging list Of recent legislative
action we are happy to add, that Michigan has
also passed a bill prohibiting the use of Jails and
other public buildings of the State, for the confne-
ment of persons claimed as fugitive slaves. The
legislators and judges who do this work represent
the awakened condition Of the people to this great
question of freedom. legislatures are the repre-
sentatives of the people on this question. Let the
people grow in knowledge, zeal and earnest pur-
pose, and We may yet Illustrate the doctrine of
State sovereignty. and prove the existence of a
north. A fact which no logic of late years has at
tempted.

GRAVE CHARGE.-A friend who encloses S.. 90
for the Bugle. Adds in a note. 81 am sorry that
the Western Anti- SIacery Society has become ,Secta-
Tian the same as the Churches"
We should certainly deeply sympathise and
sorrow with our friend, did we consider such to be
the degenerate character of this Society. We
know not to what he refers and have no evidence
that such is the fact. Sectarianism in the sense
in which we understand our friend to use the term,
is the bane of truth and freedom, and when the
Anti-Slavery Society shall merit the character
ascribed to it, it will deserve to perish as it will.

How often do We hear it said, "Thc
French have no word for home;" but are
we not more unfortunate-nay, culpabIe
to possess that homely Saxon word,
and yet divorce il from all its hal,owed
and valuable associations
We propose now to attempt to find out
one of The causes Of the growing evils and
crimes Of society, particularly those ofths
city; and we think we can prove that they
are mainly owing to the neglect OF the
privileges and responsibilities connected
with our homes, in overlooking the deep
principles and meaning that lie at the
foundation OF that sacred institution.
Let us commence in our history with
the infant in the nursery, or the little child
at the fireside - but, alas we have no
fireside nYw--no warm hearth stone the
miserable substitute, Of hole cut in the
the floor, is no place for the cultivation OF
the fancy, by the twilight tale.) With
some beautiful exceptions, we shall find
these fair young creatures systematically
educated TO become the devotecs of fash.
ion. Almost the first words they hear,
are words Of fatery, mingled with direc-
tons given, that Master SO and-so, and
his little sister, are not to be outdone by
their neighbor's children in yelvets and
satins--the parents not considering what
an insult it is to the beauty and natural
