HEANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

Inference which some have drawn, that if Gov.
Medill had cen re-elected in Ohio, the anti slavery
zeal Of the now dominant party might have re.
maincd high enough to have induced the masses
which compose it, to have interposed in some mode
successfully for the relief of these unfortunates,
and save the State from its present degradation
is now seen to be far from a strained one.
To those who believe the prospects of the Slave
are Influenced by the character Of the incumbent'
OF our Federal Offices an omen of evil portent i;
to be seen in the recent arrangements for n caucus
of the friends Of Mclean, Houston, Bell, Seward,
Chase, and Hale, preliminary to the selection of a
Residential candidate. Should the nominee of the
Republican party prove to be a Slave owner, rs
there now appears to be a fair possibility that he
may, it will be interesting TO note how many of the
politicians who refused with Mr.. Campbell in 1913
to vote for Gen. Taylor, because he was the owner
OF slaves, we shall find with Mr.. Campbell in 1856
of keeping the gemmen OBJ color out"
The current into which the party seems evidently
drifting, renders this a speculation we'll worthy of
individual consideration.

OF the State. They knew this because they volun.
torily surrendered their power. They sworc to
execute the rendition clause Of tie Constitution.
They expected to do it, 10y their federal agents,
should occasion require. Commissioner pendcry,
and Marshal Robinson are as really their agents as
they ARE those of the Democratic Party. Especi.
ally when they knew the Fugitive law of which
these men are the executives TO be in force, and
ignored as the party did last Fall, all opposition to
it,. They thus placed themselves on the level OF
acquicscence of the old Wing and Democratic
parties.
We agree with the Era that 'the guilt Of this
transaction lies at the door Of the system Of sla'
very and the abominable fugitive slave act" But
we affirm that Governor Chase and the Republican
party, voluntarily identified themselves with that
system, when they agreed by their silence that that
abomnable act' should be executed while they held
the sovereignty of Ohio in their hands, pledged to
non-interfereRce The guilt therefore lies at their
door as well as that of the President, Commissioner
and Marshal. Can ian honest man. say lessS
Governor Chase has done his whole duty" under
tho Constitution. But has he done his duty to the
cause Of freedom? Can my mausdo it when his
hands are thus tied, can any man be g~ui!tless when
he voluntarily ties his own hands, knowing they
will be needed for service2 And no is the Era's
plea Of a lack Of power any justification under the
circumstances? We are unable to see any pe,ti-
nency in the plea. Governor Chase's n~on-inter-
ference in the particular 80 @ is not the great
offence. The original sin--the cause Of this, as
it will be Of other similar wrongs yet to occur,
was in admitting the constitutional right, and duty
of rendition. When Mr.. Chase repudiates this
and then finds himself powerless, he will stand
guiltloss for his impotercy. Until he does, he can.
not escape responsibility.

SEIZURE OF A SLAYER.

The United States officers ut New York suspec
ted the character eff a brig which lately fitted ou'
Mt that port. The vessel finally left port without
going to The trouble of e%fccting a clearance. She
was pursued ovcrhauled, brought back and hei
crew committed to prison. No individual on board
or elsewhere, would claim the ownership of the
vessel and no captain could I've found FOR her.
The Tribune %prericcs its account Of the affair,
with the following facts:
We learn from good authority that no less than
thirty vessels are fitted out ut this port for tue AT
rican slave-trade every year. This fact is well
known to the authorities Of the United States, who
do all in their power to break up the ubiquitous
traffic. But in spite Of their vigilance, and re-
gardless of the rigorous laws which have been EN-.
ncted for its extinction, the business is still carried
on here, and that, too, in some cases, by persons
who, from their position in society, would be least
suspected Of engaging in it. In fact, it is So lu.
crative that those who pursue it are ready to run
every risk for its enormous profits. The immedi'
ate agents engaged in it arc mostly Portuguese
and Spaniards who have long followed 1t, and
whose experience and cunning too often enable
them to escape from the consequences of their
crime. 1t is exceedingly difficult to convict these
men. Their vessel may be seized and detained,
but on searching her nothing can be found to
criminate those who had her in charge, and yet
there may be no moral doubt of their culpability.

A SCHOOL HOUSE IN CHAINS.

Friend ROBINsoN:-As it is fashionable in these
days for persons to give their religious experience,
| lay'before tho readers of the Bugle a recent &C.
currence in our School District.
Some two or three weeks ago, Joshua Warning
ton left an appointment for an Anti-slayer3 meet
to be held in our school house. / went to the Di-
rector, Joseph Hudson. there being but one, and
received his consent for the house. But it appears
that the house is the property of the District, while
the ground is the property of a private individual,
by the name Of Stephenson, and the family is so
prO-slavery, that it is not worth while to speak Of
any other persons being more so. lie invited us
to 20 to Kentucky as we had no slaves here, and Of
course, slavery was none of our business. On last
Saturday night there fell a snow about one inch
deep, and on Sunday morning | went to get some
wood and fix matters, preparatory to the meeting,
but in going past brother Stephensons, | discover
ed the track of some person and following it to the
school house, found it chained and Hand Cufed
and q paddock on it, and'the following inscription
written with chalk on the door "NO entrance
Till the niggers is ali free"
Two o'clock being the hour for meeting, it had
cleared off and the sun shone out and melted away
the snow, and we selected a spot a few rods from
the school house for our meeting. A few friends
of the cause met on the ground, and a few large
boys came for sport. But to our great disappoint-
ment, our speaker did not come; for what cause,
we have not yet learned. We had a little talk and
| made an appointment for another meeting four
weeks from that day, the 18th Of April, to he held
on the came spot, the speakers stand rs to he a
