THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

them more or less Of notoriety. But what does the
private citizen receive, in return for the degrade.
ton Of his position as Stakeholder and slave.
catcher for the lordly oligarchy Is no made
thereby any more secure in person or property
If you can assign any good reason why the State
OF Ohio. with all her capability of sustaining her
self, and providing the needful protection for her
citizens, should continue in her present position as
the humble and unrequited vassol IF the slave
power, | pray you do it, The feeling is rapidly
growing that it is a connection not only desperate
ly wicked, but shamefully mean aud cowardly.
And the sentiment is fast spreading that the time
has arrived for us to strike at the cause Of all our
political evils, instead of wasting time by dallying
by investigation, are readily brought to the con
clusion, the real benefits which the citizen of Ohio
derives from government flows only from his State
Institutions that no danger need be apprehended
should she decide to secede from this bloody con.
federacy and that a speedy and certain conso-
quence thereof would be the downfall of the
whole slave system, for .he sympathies Of the
Woodworking States are already so enlisted, they
would all soon initiate the example. In the present
political calm, this interregnum of party, will you be
kind enough to show good reason why we should
or shoul& not, base our future political action in
Ohio uuon that issue?
address you in this public manner because it
is on a matter Of so much public interest that |
desire reply from you through the same channel.
In criticising your opinions allow me to say | have
felt no disposition to ~impeach your motives, and |
Lelieye your regard for the cause Of Humanity
will hold me justifable in the freedom with which
| express my own.
Yours very respectfully,

THE Slave TRADR.

The n. Y. Journal Of Commerce states that the
infamous business was never prosecuted with great,
er energy than at the present time, and it is sci
dom that one or more vessels cannot be designated
at the wharves, respecting which there is evidence
that she either is or has been concerned in the
traffic. The Richmond Enquirer, which "roars'
very gently since the visit Of Gov. Wise to Wheat
land, has a leader agreeing, in the abstract, with
the arguments Of Gov. Adams, Of South Carolina,
in favor Of roviviug the slave trade, but urging
that the project is utterly mpracticable, the whole
moral sense Of the age being 50 firmly set against
the measure tha, any attempt to carry it On would
prove destructive to slavery where it exists. The
Charleston Mercury is strongly in favor Ct the
revival of the traffic, and of throwing about it tho
sanction Of Jaw. IL suggests, as the principal OBJ
lection which can be urged against il, that if the
trade were r~eopened The New Englanders would
monopolise the profit!

UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

"Ns 20 have borrowed Of my Chl1rcn"-BBtE.
That the Underground Railroad is in n lively
state of activity is evidenced by The fact that sew
e~nty-iee f~ugitives have passed through this city
during the last six or eight weeks on their way to
Liberty. They are from Kentucky, Virginia,
Georgia, and the chivalric State Of South Carolina.
The last company of nine that passed through were
from near Coyington, KY. The patriarch, their
mastor, was about TO have them sold to pay his
debts, preparatory to removing to Chicago; bnt the
spirit Of emigration seized upon the ''chat,els,"
aud they anticipated their master BY leaving on an
advance train.
We congratulate the citizens Of Chicago; upon
tho acquisition to their society of the q%uondam
master. Should he be a little cross at FIRST. they
must remember that lie is the victim of ingrati,

Nr Buchanan was that man, and whilst he
thought HIN sound on the slavery question, he had
no hopes that his election would secure to the
South Any greater advantage than a four years

bringing any lasting benefits. Hostility TO the

To Buck and Brcck, and the Uren tpo,'
We like the men who are celebrated in those mo
loiious lines. as well as the author himself but
WI do not believe that they have any power Of cs-
tnbliShing and preserving q peacable union be-
tween the North and the South. Nor do we be-
lieve that it is for the interest Of the South. nor
even of the North, to continue a connection cele-
brated during the last twenty yeats only for con-
tinuons and embittered controversy, always grow
ing more bitter and more hopeless OF paciicatiJn
--tainting all legislation. either with rank section
alism, or with the bargaining Of veual politicians
to exchange one sectional interest against another.
Let any man take the whole series Of Presiden-
tisl elections, from The beginning to the presents and
saw whether the election Of Mr.. Buchanan is Il
proof that the sentiment Of Unionism, Of defer
ence to the rights and opinions of all sections Of
the Confederacy, has triumphed in this result
Mr. Buchanan has received the vote of four North
srn States and fourteen Southern States. OF the
former, two illinois and New Jersey cast large
maiorities in favor of Free Soil Governors on the
very dav of the Presidential election. In one of
the remaining two, Indiana, the Buchanan ticket
received only a plurality and in but one of the
four--his native State-had he a majority of al
sho ro.eo cast, aud ohis cousisIed or Out Too votes
out of an aggregate OF 4OO,295.
And the South is called upon TO rest satisfied
with this result, and reproached for not holding
our arms, and not saying we are satisfied that i
will last our time, or at least that 1t will last, n,

For our part. we see nothing that can turn up,
under this perpetual preaching of Unionism as the
supreme good. bat the depressing humiliation and
fGal Subsection Of the South to an Uvowedly hos
tile country. For, socially and practically, the
North is separated from us. They are not only
hostile to us in their ideas, but they rerpetually
entertain the determination Of dominating over US
upon our most intimate social concerns in short
of revoIutionizing the entire framework Of our
industrial organization, and leaving it to the wild
force of chance. whether we shall escape the
imminent destiny of barbarianism and deinorali
Eation.
In the midst of all these evidences of s%ectionn'
hostility, which were never so strong as now
we are called upon 10 receive the election of Mr.
Buchanan elected because the enemies Of thu
South could not agree among hemselves-electe
by a very small majority-electcd by a minority
of the popular vote--aa a proof of tho prevalence
of Union ana constitutional principles, and as
pledge that tho conditions Of the Conicderacy ar
hereafter to be faithfully fulfilled. We think W,
have - reasonable quantity Of creduIity, but W,
have not enough to swallow this creed.

Another Account of the Assault.

BosToS, May 29-Dr. Bunting, of
Montreal, Canada, states in letter in the
Evening Journal, that he was in the gal
lery Of the Senate Chamber at the time of
the assault on Mr.. Sumner He says be
saw Brook, approach Mr.. Sumner, not in
front but q. the side Of his desk, and ad
dressed Him some words in low tone, and
then at the moment Mr.. Sumner raised
his head, turning it on one side to listen,
he poured down on him blow upon blow
with the greatest rapidity.
Mr.. Sumner struggled several times to
rise from his seat, but was evidently SO
much hemmed in as TO be utterly incapa-
bic Of rising until be had by great effort
torn the desk from its fasteniug., and then
pitched forward insensihle on tde floor.
While this was progressing, Mr.. Keist
stood with one hand fourishing large
cane, and the other holding pistal behind
him, partly under his coat, but DR.. Bunt-
ing saw it very distinctly projecting from
between the flaps Of bis coat.
Dr.. Bunting says that he was, from his
position in the gallery, directly above the
actors in the scene, enabled to see this
very clearly. During the assault, Mr..
Douglas, he asserts, stood within five feet
of Mr.. Sumner, with his hands in his
pockets. Mr. B. assisted to dress Mr..
Summers wounds.
