t9 prosecute their piratical purposes without let or
hindrance.
One thing is q little remarkable. Before thu
election we were told that the onty hope for Kan
sas was the election of Fremont, and non voting abo'
litionists were charged with n virtual conspiracy
with border %rufians, because they would not vio-
late common sense and their own consciences by
casting a vote for Republicanism with oil its con-
cessions to slaveholding, slave hunting, slave
driving, slave-selling, and slave ~fogging in fifteen
states of the Union; now it turns out that with the
political defeat of the friends of Kansas, comes
its safety, in the only particular in which its
friends proposed to interfere in its behalf. The
moral influence of Republicanism, crippled as it
was by concession and compromise, has contribu-
ted to this result. and so far it is entitled to credit
on the ledger of freedom; but its averment that
voting for Fremont was the only hope of Kansas,
is so far as Kansas is now safe demonstrated to be
a falacy. A more uucompromising course, even
with fewer numbers to share the modification of
defeat, would have redowned far more to the sue
cess of the general cause of freedom. The party
of principle is always on the %victor's side, whether
numbers vote with or against it.
Truth crushed to earth will rise again"

HOW CINCINNATI GOT AN EVIL REPU.
TATION.

The Cincinnati Enquirer the organ of Buchanan
ism in that city, endeavors in the following little
paragraph to relieve the city from the odium of
abolitionism in the estimation of shareholders and
at the same time fasten the charge of that damna-
BILE hcresy upon the Commercial and Gazette the
two Republican papers of the city. it says:
The Memphis people, as well as other commu-
mites in the South, have got the idea that Ciucin-
natl is the hot-b ed of Abolitionism. and hence the
mention of Cincinnati as the proposed destination
of the free negroes. Those who read a portion of
our press-the Commercial and GdzcHe-will oe
Mt no loss to know how this evil reputation among
our best business customers got fastened upon us.
Baseless as it is, much injury to the place has re-
suited from it.
The Gazette vindicates itself, its party, and the
city from this alleged heresy in the following
manner.
Those who have read the Gazette and Enquirer
will De at no loss to know that the latter has pub
lished column upon column of editorial falsehoods,
with n view to make the impression that Cincinatti
contains as many 'Abolitionists, as it does Repub-
lican voters or in other words that the Repub-
licans ale Abolitionists and that the Gazette as
often denied the charge. If much injury to the
place has resulted from this baseless' equation
the Enquirer and its allies are alone responsible
for it.
The Enquirer and the shareholders know that all
Republicans ought to be abolitionists. What n
pity they should not be willing to merit and wear
so honorable a reputation. But they evidently
prefer power and office, before a good name.

THE FAIRS.

The Anti-Slavery Fairs held during the holt
days, seem to have been remarkably successful
Below we give the report of the Salem and Phila-
delphia Fairs, and also a brief notice Of the un-
exampled success of the Boston Bazaar.
REPORT OF THE FAIR COMMITTEE.
The Western Anti Slavery Fair for 1856 was held
in the Town Hall, Salem, on the Oath 25th and
Goth of December.
Our stock of goods consisted of q beautiful as
sortment of fancy articles-embroidery in Almost
endless variety-small sums Of money contributed
by interested friends in different places-childrens
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. articles Of cloth
ing for men, women and children-bed quilts
a provision table--a candy table-icc cream
shingles-a pair of pea fowls, brooms, shoes
poultry and many other things both beautiful and
useful. For these contributions we are indebted to
friends of the slave in Boston, Philadelphia, Gin
cirnati, Green Plains, Marlboro, Rootstown, Ran
dolph, New Lyme, New Garden, Hopedale, Mas
tersvile, New. Market, Leesburgb, Columbiana and
Salem.
The proceeds. are $4,000 which after,deducting
expenses will be paid into the treasury Of the
WesternsAnti-S Slavery. Society.
Taking into account the extreme scarcity Of
money for the. last ten weeks this may be consider.
ed our most successful Fair.
The committee tender their kindest thanks to
all who have given their cooperation in this Of
fort to secure the means to carry forward and sus.
tain the anti-slavery standard Of truth and jus.
tice-tbe slaves best hope.
On behalf Of the committee,
+. ROBINSON.

HONESTY OF The SLAVES.

We frequently hear that the slaves are prsver.
bially dishonest. Why should not they be, it may
be asked, under such examples as are set before
them from infancy? Robbed of all their rights.
and Of the fruits Of all their labor, it il natural
enough that they should initiate their masters ana
become robbers themselves; if indeed taking tho
fruits of their labor can justly be considered
robbery. Mr.. Beecher, in a late Discourse.
related the case of \ fugitive slave. who
before he fed, took his masters purse
On arriving at New York, he reckoned up
what he had expended on tho journey. and made
an estimate of what it would cost to get to Canada.
These he deducted fr,m the money in lis possess.
ion and sent the rest back to his late master, by
the Express!
Another more remarkable instance 10 known TO.
the writer of this article. A young female slave
in Maryland, held by q slave trader. and who WAS
in training for the Southern market, had the conf.
dence of her master to such a degree. that in his
absence from home. he frequently left in her care
his treasures. Having determined to attempt her
escape from the doom which she saw awaited her,
she left on the centre table of the parlor. tho nighs
of her departure, a valuable gold watch, and $500
in money, with which she had been entrusted! The
master advertised her, and offered a reward u
$500 for her recovery. but the "prey had Aed."-
Under the guidance OF a philanthraphist, she safo-
ly arrived in Queen Yictoria's dominions.-Ansey.
lean Missionary.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

ing of the sublime movement initiated by the old
society-a movement for the redemption of the
millions of our slaves by the renovation Of still
more millions of enslavers-a movement 50 vast
that We cannot grasp it in its various issues on
this country and the world-to leave all this out
of sight, when | come back to myself, and remem-

but do it honor.
1t first delivered me from the grasp of that old,
hoary headed hypocrite, tho Colonization Society,
which had received the reverence Of my childhood
and early youth.
Again, it tore off the mask from those whose
words had been to me authority, and whom | had
regarded ms statesmen and patriots, when, 10! u
set of selfseeking demagogues were sacrificing
their country's honor anG glory, and making her a
kissing and a bywOrd in the nations, merely for
the advancement of their own petty ends.
And yet, again, it relieved me from that anguish
of soul which had cried fol- years., What shall l
DO to be saved 2 but failed to hear any answer in
the orthodox mummeries of the church. Your
society gave a clear and distinct answer, not so
much in words US in deeds, Love God with all thy
heart, and thy ~neighbor as myself Its comment
on the text was simple To love God is not to
bow down and worship craven or molten images,
or imaginary beings, but to love Him is to love his
attributes, mercy, justice, truth, with all thy heart,
and hence to sacrifice every selfish consideration
to the advancement of these. To love thy neigh
Dor us thyself is to do unto others as you would
others should do unto you. These principles, re-
ceived into the soul, cruelty its selfshness, and it
is saved by a present salvation from the dominion
of solfshness, which, alone. is sin.
And yet, still again, it gave me an opportunity
to assert, in person, some of those rights of HUI

which | had, from a child, most earnestly contend

But l must not longer multiply words. ! sat

only say turther-GOd bless the old Pioneer Soci-

The quality Of mercy is not strained

ten, life's energies, life itself, all things, for the
slaves sake, knowing, most surely, and now from
our own experience, that we shall receive, in re-
turn, more than all these, even life eternal, which
to us is a cant term. but comprehends all good.
Yours to the end,

the angels Of mercy, and the righteous of the
earth, are with us, let us grid ourselves anew for
the holy warfare, and 20 forth in the name and in
the strength of Jehovah, furnished only from his
own armory with the weapons which are mighty
to pull down this stronghold of sin, which this
hypucritical nation has established, in defiance Of
the laws of God and the rights of humanity.
| pray that the wisdom which cometh from
above, unmingled with that which is from beneath,
may guide your deliberations.
Yours, for the slave,
HENRY GREW.
