ANNUAL MEETING.

The Fifteenth Anniversary {. the WESTERN
ANTI-SLAvERY SOCIETY will be held at alliance,
Stark County, Ohio, commencing at 10 A. NJ, on
Saturday, the 9Th of September, and remaining
in session several days.
Every succeeding year brings with il new evil
dence of the strength of the slave power, and re-
cords new instances of its manifold aggressions.--
And this, not because there is not at the North
power enough to successfully resist its encroach'
ments, but because the anti -slavery feeling Of the
people has been made to subserve the purposes OF
those whosemeasure of moral duty is limited by mis-
taken views of political expediency. State Rights
are here utterly ignored, aud State laws are tramp
led under foot by authority of UnitedState's Judges
IF Ohio and the entire West is over to be restored
to freedom, if the doctrine Of State Sovereignty is
ever to again live and general usurpation die, all
this must be wrought out, no by the effort of com
promising, union-saving politicians, but by the
labor of uncompromising and Radical Abolition
lists.
We invite all those who love the slave better
than party, who reverence principle moro than
power, to meet with us at Alliance for the accom-,
plishment Of this great purpose. Not only do we
hope that the West will come up in its strength
but we also have an exr e~ctation that ABBY X.
and STEPHEN 5. FOSTER, together with other of oul
Eastern friends will be present.

THE SALEM ANTI.sLAVERY FAIR.

Our readers will be informed by a notice in
column, that the Ladies Of Salem and
vicinity, are again making preparations for their
Annual Fair, and invite the cooperation of all
friends. We hope their announcement may re-
ceive an early and hearty response. In this way
much is secured which would otherwise never find
its way to the treasury of the Anti-Slavery Society,
Indeed without this efficient auxiliary the Society
would hardly have kept up its operations during
the embarrassment of the last two years. Never
has it more needed this aid than it will during the
coming year. Its agents and other means Of
carrying forward the work Of anti-slavery agita,
ton, ought to be increased and we know it is the
purpose Of the indomitable few who labor for the
Fair, that they shall be SO increased, if efforts Of
theirs can accomplish the work. The anti-slavery
women in the various neighborhoods and villages
must lead in this effort; they will find ready aid in
others when they themselves begin to work in earn
est. Comparatively few of our neighborhoods have
hitherto done anything in this way. A few have
worked efficiently. May we not expect their mum
bers to be increased this season2 Let them begin
early, and others will be encouraged to follow their
example.

OUR

Our anniversary is ear at hand. Mr. illsbury
will be present as also Mr.. Foss of New Hampshire,
Mrs. Coleman of New York and we are not with
out hope also of seeing Mr.. Cbarles!Lcnox Remond,
and his sister, Miss Sarah Remond. These, together
with MIR and Mrs. Foster, " hose names we have pre-.
viously announced, will in connection with some Of
our Western friends, commence ct the Anniversary
a series of vigorous anti-slavery labors in Conven-
tions and public meetings. For the last two years
our antiIslavery labors have been comparatively
few in the West, but it gives us great pleasure
now to state, that they will be this fall revived and
prosecuted with new vigor. We need the hearty
cooperation of every friend of the slave at this
time. We need your money to carry forward
these operations and in this season of unpre-
ceden,ed abundance, you will surely be found
eady to give it literally. We need your presence
and counsel at the Anniversary. Shall we not
have it? We need your cooperation and labors
at home, when these public laborers shall visit
your town or locality. Often much of the good
of conventions is lost by the lack of sympathy and
aid among the professed friends of the cause
where they are held. Will you Motive mean
erery qbolitiOniSt who reads or hears this paragrap
read-now begin to make your arrangements of
business so as to have time to give us, vigorously
and efficiently, the helping hand in this campaign.
Another request. Will the abolitionists in every
ccality where they want a meeting or con vention,
please without delay, make known their wishes by
letter to the editor of the Bugle. Such communi-
cations would materially help us in arranging the
series Of conventions which will be held. There
are many places where such meetings have never
been held, which might be now visited with profit.
Let us know of them by those acquainted with
their circumstances and wants. We cannot of
course visit all places We would desire, but by hear
ing from all, We can SO arrange the conventions as
best to accommodate the necessities of the greatest
number. We repeat, let us hear from you witAout
delay, and prepare yourselves for rigorous cooper
alton at tMe Anniversary and Immediately Subse-
Quent thereto.

ANTI SLAVERY PERSECUTION IN KEN

1t has long been a y marvel to us that the bloody
and inhuman spirit Of slavery would tolerate the
continued labors of Rev. John @. Fee, faithful and
Incorporating as for years he has been, in Ken
lucky. The spirit of persecution is now thorough
ly aroused. What its end will be remains to be
seen. A second attempt to mob Mr.. Fee has been
made as we learn from the Cincinnati Gazette OF
the Goth inst. We copy the paragraph:
MORE ANrr-SLAvERY DISTURBANCE IN KEN.
TucKY.-We have been informed that Rev. j. g.
Fee, the celebrated anti. slavery preacher in ken-
lucky, went into R0ckbridge county, the county
from which he was driven two or three weeks
since, on last Sabbath to listeu to q sermon de-
livered by a Presbyterian minister The rabble at
Mount Vernon, hearing he was in the county.
started to sieze him. Mr.. Fee hearing OF their
approach, escaped iuto Laurel county, aud by trav-
cling on Monday night he reached home on Tues
day morning. The mob had expressed q deter
mination to fellow him there, and he was prepar-
ing to arm himself. They hunted him all Sunday
night, and till 10 O'Clock on Monday, but being on
the wrong track were unable to find hint. Rev. j.
NJ. Mellain, a graduate of Oberlin, who has been
preaching ia that vicinity, has had his life threat
ened if be did not leave the region.
The mob are mostly poor whites, who own no
slaves, but are excited by liquor, and encouraged
by two or three Shareholders. This is ia q poor
section of the State, and not moro than one in for
ty of the men have any interest in slaves.
For some reason, G.. NJ. Clay has vowed his
want of sympathy with the position Mr.. Fee has
assumed, and has said be could not support him
in it. This has probably had its effect on the
mob.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE LATE
TREATY WITH SWITZERLAND.

Our readers will doubtless ememb that some
evenings since the Jewish people of this city held
a meeting and took the necessary steps to lay be.
fore the authorities at Washington certain grievanc-
es of which they com planned, to wit: that in the
treaty recently ratified between the Government of
the United States and that Of Switzerland this
article occurred:
1.-THE citizens of the United States and of Swift
zerland shall be admitted and treated upon a foot
ing Of reciprocal equality in tho two countries
where such admission and treatmentshaH not conflict
apih the constitutional or legal provisions, as Uel
Federal as Stale, and Cant0nal Of the contracting
parties"
There is one "cantonal provision" in force which
forbids Jews from entering the country, from So
journing temporarily, domiciliating or establish
ing themselves permanently there.
A Jewish citizen of this country then, going to
switzerland is not p~anoplied with such armor of
American citizenship as to afford q protection for
one moment against this narrow spirit of bigotry
and uncharitableness which characterized the
countries of Europe IN days when a Jew was held
to be unclean and aceursed. The jewish citizen
has just cause for complaint against this our gov
ernment, which took on immense airs about the
matter of Capt. Ingraham and Martin Kosta, who
was only an inchoate citizen, after all, and yet
leaves true aud bona fde citizens to the lash of a lit
tie poverty stricken canton in Switzerland.
At the time when the above mentioned meeting
was held, we knew in our own minds that there
was a ''nigger in the woodpile" somewhere, and
have therefore watched the effect of the Jewish re-
monstrances which have gone to Washington
We have found it. The following is a full explain
alton of the reason why our Jewish citizens have
been aeniei their rights, which We quote from
The National LnteAigencer:
Nov we may condemn this as very strange and
illiberai: and 50 it is, regarded from our own stand
point Of observation; but look on the other side of
the picture. There is nothing in the Federal Con-
~stitution of Switzerland, or in those of the Cantons
that'we know of, that denies all tho rights of citi.
zenship to the African race. Were it not for the
excluding provision in the convention what could
prevent aoy such citizen Of Switzerland from set
ing up claims which in the southern States would
only be laughed atP So far as the jews are
concerned, the Cantons are free to act as they
please; but the Federal authorities could not con
troll them for they az we'll as our own States have
their reserved rights secured on similar basis"

THE Missouri ELECTION towards which oil who
are in any wise inclined to anti slavery, have been
looking with interest, has resulted in favor of the
Democratic and ultra pro-slavery candidate by a
small majority it is said Of about four hundred
votes. Mr.. Rollins who has been defeated, was
charged with being an emaucipationist, a black
republican, and worse than all, an abolitionis..
These charges judging from his speeches we have
seen, he seems quietly to have met with the as
surancc that free labor might supercede slave
labor for all opposition from him, as it now bids
fair to do, by its manifestly superior economy and
profit. This in his speeches was the extent of his
antielavery. lie as carefully avoided all condem-
nation of slavery on moral grounds as Mr.. Elihu
Burritt himself. That a candidate for Governor
in Missouri should plant himself on any phase of
anti-slavery as an issue, in these border rufian
days, and come SO within an inch Of election, is
a fact of encouraging significance. If the public
sentiment of the free States instead of settling
down to, or below the Missouri level, would bear
high and consistently the standard of impartial
freedom, Missouri, kentucky and other border
emancipation. But we fear this great body OF
people in Missouri who are looking at the abolition
Of slavery as a possibility, will be rather disheart.
ened than encouraged by the action of that part
Of the country, which ought to lead on to the
triumph Of freedom. Indifference, subserviency
and compromise, have eaten the love of freedom
from the hearts of the people.

A DEMOCRAT ON "NIcGERs."--Mr Geiger, Of
whom the State Journal discourses below is a.
prominent politician who is now stamping Ohio
for the benefit of Ths bred Scott party, He is the,
very man for that.
Mr.. Geiger in his speech last night, said that
'he didn't want to walk with a niger, to drink
with a niger, to vote with o niger. or unless hard
up, to sleep with a niger" After such q poesy
OF rhetoric, Mr.. Geiger ought to let his hearers
know whether he would like to own a niger, buy
a Niger, sell q niger, or hunt a Niger for in
these points lie the very quintessence of modern
Democracy, and if Mr.. Geiger wont do one or the
other, he amt "a Democrat"

The Lexington Ky. )observer and Reporter makes
the following comment on Mr.. Payne's speech ct
Columbus:
WRAT Is NORTHERN DEMOCRACY I'll. B. Payne
the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio in
accepting the nomination, is reported to have
said:
Under Mr.. Buchanan's administration, Kan
zas, protected alike from New England and tho
South, Is working out the peaceable fruits Of righ-
teousness. AT a day not distant or doubtful, as
from the beginning has been predicted, Kansas
will be admitted into the GALAXY of States with q
Free state constitution by the votes of her own
people, abolishing forever slavery in her midst,
thus furnishing an application Of practical Demo-
cratic doctrines"
This is a specimen of Northern Democrats who
are so national, and whom Southern men are ex-
horted to rely upon. IL. b. Payne is as much the
friend of the South, il is claimed, as any man in
the North :? People of the South how do you like

session in this place. We attended their public

of the half dozen public addresses we heard made
any mention of Intemperance, Slavery or War as
evils to be removed. The sermons might have
been acceptable to Northern pro-slavery Demo

Shareholders who fellowship their theology. The
disturbing reformatory (fanatical) elements are
pretty thoroughly purged out of this body and

REV. JOSEPH GORDON, editor of the Free Presby-
terrain announces that his connection with that
paper will close with the present volume. Mr..
Gordon says:
Two reasons impel-or rather compel-me to
terminate my connection with the paper: First,
want of health. Second, want Of money. My
health imperatively demands a change of employ
ment, and that reason alone is conclusive. But
were my health unimpaired, l could not longer
afford the pecuniary loss to which the publication
of the paper subjects me. Besides editing the
paper, l have given to it in work and money! at
least five hundred dollars a year for the past four
years, making a donation Of two thousand dollars
to furnish the church with an organ Of commune
cation. This is all that | am able to give to that
cause, and | despair of ever seeing the paper, in
my hands, placed on q paying foundation.
We are sorry indeed to see this announcement
for such causes. The paper under Mr.. Gordon's
management has been conducted with marked
ability, and has deserved on this account as well
as on account of its fidelity to the cause of free
dom, a long life and a wide circulation. Though
we have not always agreed with Mr.. Gordon in
his anti slavery measures, he has always prescott
ed those of his own adoption like an honest and
true man and one heartily in earnest for the
triumph of Justice and Righteousness.

SELLING A CITIZEN OF ILLINOIS INTO SLAVERY
A late number of the 81. Louis Republican pub
fishes the following advertisement from which it
would appear that a free man has been kidnapped
in Illinois, run over to Missouri and imprisoned,
and is now advertised to be sold into perpetual
Slavery to pay his Jail fees:
RUNAWAY NEcRo.-Taken up in Cairo, Illinois,
and committed to Jail in Charleston, Mississippi
county, Missouri, on the 10Th day of July, 1857, a
negro man calling himself James Armstead, and
says he is free. Said negro is about 40 years old,
mulatto color, weighs about 100 pounds, and is
about five feet ten or eleven inches high, has lost
some of his front and jaw teeth, and is smartly
gray-headed has a scar on his left elbow, two
small scars on his stomach and breast, and a small
scar on his left eyebrow, and ON the left side of
his nose, and several small scars on his legs and
feet; had on a black felt nat, tweed coat, cotton
shirt, and brogan shoes.
The owner of said slave is hereby required to
come and prove property, pay all charges incurred
on account of said negao within three months, or

speech which we have carefully watched the
papers to find reported. The following is the
most ample report we have seen of his views on
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-09-05

lGov. Chase now recited the facts Of the late
Rescue case, and made some strong points, but the
late hour of the night precludes us from writing
out his remarks. In conclusion Of the subject,
however, he said
We have a right to have our State laws obeyed.
We don't mean 10 resist Federal authority. Just
or unjust laws, properly administered, will be re-
spected. IL dissatisfied, we will 60 to the ballot
box and redress our wrongs. But we have rights
which the Federal Government must not invade.
Rights superior to it's power, on which our SOW
ereignty depends, and we do mean to assert these
rights agains. all t~yranical assumptions or
authority.
