DEATH OF CYRUS M. BURLEIGH.

DEAR MARIUs: Since the last Bugle was issued,
have received, from Philadelphia, intelligence of
the removal of another faithful worker from the
Anti-Slavery vineyard.
AT Sunnyside, in Chester Co., Pa, on the 7th

higher sphere of existence. He died of consump.
ton and toward the close of his illness suffered
much from hemorrkage of the lungs. His age was
IS years, though were his life measured by the
good he has done, he would be counted as a veteran
in the hosts of humanity. For many years he la.
bored as a lecturer in the Anti-Slavery cause, and
for a considerable time edited the Pennsylvania
Freeman.
A few days before his death, a friend had been
reading him a portion of the prayer of Jesus, in
the 18th chapter of John, and when she ceased, he
said family and slowly, "What a glorious ~satisfac-

PARKER PILLSBURY IN LIVERPOOL

A Lecture on Slavery in America was delivered
by Parker Pillsbury, in the chapel of the Liver
pool Domestic Mission Society, on Wednesday
evening, February 7th, Rev. Francis Bishop in the
chair. III aaIHa VIEre
The lecture was a most able and eloquent expos
ition of the essential characteristics Of slavery
and the sacriligious outrage it everywhere and AZ
all times inficts upon human nature. Its demon
alizing and corrupting influences on both Church
and State in the American Union were dwelt upon
with great force and power, and the ground Of the
thorough abolitionists in that country clearly sx-
planned and INDICATED as the only true and consis-
tent position for those who regard slavery as q sin
to be at once and forever put away. Many parts
of the lecture were marked by great pathos. and
most of the audience were at times moved to tears.
The attendance was large, and though the lecture
lasted nearly two hours, it was listened to with The
deepest attention throughout. VI
The Rev. W. II. Bonner, Baptist Minister, Of
Birkenhead, moved a vote of thanks to Mr.. Pills
bury, in a brief but cordial speech, in the course
Of which he said that he always gloried in the
name of Baptist, except in con nec.ion with Amer
lean slavery in that connection he was compelled
to feel ashamed of it. He thanked the lecturer
most heartily for his fidelity, and expressed his
agreement with him as to the worthlessness Of any
form of christianity that threw its mantle over 20
great a v wrong and iniquity es slavery.
The Rev. w. II. Claiming seconded the motion
in a hopeful speech. Dark rs the present was. he
did not d~espond. lie believed that though Mr..
P~illsbury, worn down as he was by incessans L.
bors in the cause of the slave, might not live to ses
the day of complete emancipation, yet that many
whom he (Mr. P) had taught and quickensd
would be permitted to behold tho glorious eonsum.
nation.
The vote was passed with reclamation, and Mr..
Pillsbury returned thanks.

Another year, in the middle of the Nineteenth
Century, has passed away, and is added to the his
tory of the nation.
And the duty of the faithful historian will re.
quire him to record, that still, nearly a sixth part
of the people remains in the most abjcct slavery.
That still the Slave Power rules paramount in
the Policy, in the Religion, and in the Business Of
the country and it constantly grows more oppres.

and women to unpaid toll, treating them with bar
barous cruelty, and robbing them of every right
but forcing men who suppose they are free and

Repeal of the Missouri Compromise. the passage
of a Fugitive Slave Act, the plundering of Mexico
the Annexation of Texas, and many similar mi
quitics.
We hope and trust that this is not to be Away:
so:
Therefore we cntrcat all who adore God, and who
love Truth, Justice, and Humanity, to come to-
gether to counsel, and to devise peaceful, but eaec-
tual ways and means for the abolition of this &C
cursed tyranny.
Sc that the Republic may, in truth, approach
much nearer to the glorious position of a Model
Government than it has yet attained, and mankind
have cause to rejoice.
Let us, then, assemble, and do what in us
lies to help arouse the nation from its fatal leth-

Distinguished advocates Of this great movement
from various parts of the country, are expected tC

THE RENDITION OF FUG1TIvEs.

Mr.. Boynton, Of Essex, introduced n bill yester-
day, intended TO meet the case Of ~fuCitives. IL was
hastily drawn, and is intended rather rs the basis
Of q bill than as u perfect statute. 1t names Off
GERS to whom application may be made for warrant
to arrest fugitivcs. The officers are Justices of
Superior Court in New York, Judges of Supreme
Court or County Judges and Recorders Of cities.
Magistrates must adjourn to procure necessary
testimony, and on adjournment may admit the fu-
gitive to bail. The bail conditioned for the appear
ance of the fugitive on day Of adjournment, or
payment of penalty to claimant.
If the claimant fails to establish his claim, ho
f%orfeits 500 to defendant and costs, expenses and
damages. The bill gives f~ugitives right of trial by
jury. Makes it felony to take any step to arrest
or remove a fugitive except as provided in this act,
and punishable by imprisonment not over ten year
and by fine not over $500. 1t makes it misdemean-
or for any officer of this State to issue warrants ex-
cept those named.-Aibany Journal.
What does this meant Is the State of New
York about to bid defiance to the slaveholding law
of Congress, and return the bondman after her
own fashion This is the movement, as we sup
pose of the anti-Nebraska men. They are about
to comply with their constitutional obligations, -
and give up men, women and children to slavery,
if judge and jury say the man who claims
them has proved them his. This bill will give the
freeman claimed by a kidnnpper some chance to
escape. 1t places serious obstacles in the way OF
kidna 'pers. But then it surrenders every princi.
pie of freedom. Il comedies to one man the hor-
rible right to claim, to seize, to hold and convey
away his fellow man as a slave. 1t with deliberate
insult to justice and liberty, designates courts, APP
points judges and jurors to call in question the
right of an innocent human being to liberty. 1t
dooms the man and his ~posterity after him to a life
of slavery, for no other cause than that the guilty
man who claims him now, Of court and jury, has
claimed and held and robbed him all his life
before, without the aid of any such formalitics
of law. What difference is j. to the yoor wretch
thus doomed whether he meets his fate from @
State Court, ajudge and jury, or from a Commits
sioner, the creature Of a pro-slavery Federal Govern
mentP What difference to humanity, to liberty o:
to justice? He who does it is infamous and &c
cursed, be he Commissioner or Judge-and tao
law which he obeys is more than Internal, be i
State or National.
New York, if she would honor herself and serve
liberty, should repudiate this constitutional obi
CATION, and sternly refuse ever to question the RICH
of human beings to liberty.

referred to in the Bugle ONE weeks ago. The cost
is SIPS. The money is to be paid and possession

will see the necessity of forwarding Immediately
and those interested in the welfare of the bereaved

of their ability, will, we trust, remember that an
amount between 500 and $500 is yet required to
make up the amount, and act accordingly.

CINCINNATI CONVENTION. We publish today
the call of our Gin cinnati friends, for their Annual
Convention, to be held on the 25th, 10Th and 9th
of April next.
These Conventions have hitherto been marked
by free speech, a generous federation Of the utter
ance of different and even conflicting opinions
They have been highly useful in keeping 'alive an
ti-slavcry sentiment in the city and in the circle Of
its immediate influence, and the coming one we
hope will not be behind any of its predecessors, in
value and interest.
Ohio and Indiana should be fully represented,
and thus give the Convention more than a local
interest. 1t is a Convention, not for any political
or party purposes, but designed tomove and mould
the public sentiment of the country on the subject
of slavery. Let the people show that they appre,
ciate its Importance by n full attenda nee, and &
faithful anti-slavery testimony. Such an Assem-
bly,, so testifying, will tell in its influence on both
sides of the Ohio.

The New POSTAGE LAw.-Several important
changes were made in the postage law at the last
session of Congress. All letters are to be prepaid
after July, and on such as are sent over 5000 miles
ten cents are charged. For all other letters not ex-
ceeding a half ounce. three cents will be charged,
and the same for each additional half ounce. After
the first of January next, all letters are to be pre-
paid with stamps. And postmasters and all others
are prohibited from selling stamps or stamped en-
velopes for any greater sum than tina indicated on
their face. Penalty, a fine of not less than ten
dollars or more than Eve hundred dollars. The
franking privilege remains unchanged. Money
sent by mail may be registered by the postmaster,

letters or their contents, whether registered OF
not.

An ExcEPTIoN.-Congress at its last session,
passed a bill, designed to secure the health, com.
fort and accommodation of emigrants, against the
cupidity of ship owners and commanders. 1t
provides for a specified amount of room for each
passenger, the quality and quantity of provisions,
as also for cleanliness, ventilation, and other things
needful to health and comfort. 1t is one of the few
good works of the late Congress.
But it seems nothing can escape the cursed touch
of slavery. This bill even, has a provision (so we
see it stated, we have not seen the BILL excepting
the American Colonization Society from it's restric.
tons, in the transportation of Americans out of
the country. A provision of special Importance to
Shareholders and this handmaiden Of theirs. 1t
enables them to continue to ship off to Africa their
unmanageable slaves and the hated free ~niggers"
dog cheap" And so they are comfortably rid of
the nuisance, it makes little difference whether
thu emigrants are made food for sharks on the WOW.
age, or for the fever after their voyage is ended.
If the reports published of the Colonization Soci-
are a tythe of them true, the law, instead of ex
cepting this Society from its provisions, should
have made it the especial subject of its applica
ton.
