INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ACTION.

We the citizens of Deer Creek and vicinity
having become thoroughly convinced that we need
not look to either of the great political parties of
our country for tho restoration of freedom to the
enslayed millions of this nation, nor for the over
throw of intemperancc, have firmly made up our
minds TO withdraw all our support from those
parties and establish ourselves upon a platform of
our own, whereupon we can conscientiously stand
and act as becomes men endowed with genuine
patriotic wisdom. We feel constrained by all the
tender sympathies which Characterize an enlight-
ened Christian people, to reach forth a helping
hand to the poor slave that is doomed by the ruth
less hand of despotism to suffer ak the wrongs
and insults which grow out of the worst forms of
deluded and deeply contaminated society, We
also feel that there must be something done to
relieve the distresses which grow out of the use
of intoxicating liquors, and we have, in consider
alton of those unparalleled evils, resolved that no
storm of political excitement shall drive US from
our position. We have set our stakes and are de-
t~ermined to stand firm upon these great questions.
No political humbug need show its sneakipg face
or put forth its deceptive voice for the purpose of
alluring US with its false promises. No nah can
get our votes for any Office whatever, unless he is
u luUIOuSuf ollulSutlOlh uIu uDOllllOIllSlu IL ltm'
perance man. We therefore submit our position
to the consideration Of q candid and enlightened
, public, hoping that all who are awakened to TIT
necessity of bringing to a termination those un
4 surpassed national evils will make manifest thei
. princip pies by getting upon the same high ground
whereupon we can so proudly boast of standing.
g Ameeting of our citizens was held last evenin,
= (Monday) for the purpose Of making arrange
ments for a meeting to be held in Coates grove

k our little party, and the undersigned were ar
!. pointed q Committee to issue a notice of the in
tentions of the people and of the time our meetin
should be held.
k The meeting will take place on Sunday, the %
e of August, at u o'clock A. NJ. We respectful
n invite the friends of Freedom and Temperance t
be with us on that occasion and help 10 roll on th
y ball of human progression, and share with Il
in both the honors it will confer upon us, and tn
scorn and contempt which will naturally gravitat

OUR
Paramount.

Our Anniversary is near at hand. OF its i'm
~portance Mr.. Pillsbury has we'll spoken in his
communication, which of course, every body will
read, who receives a Bugle. There are many who
will be the more DESTROYS to a attend, when it is
known that Mr.. P%illsbury himself will be present
as also Mr.. Foss of New Hampshire, Mis-. Coleman
of New York and we are not without hope also of
seeing Mr.. Charles Lcnox Remond, and his sister
Miss Sarah Remond. These, together with Mr..
and Mrs. Foster, whose names we have previously
announced, will, in connection with some of our
Western friends, commence at the Anniversary,
a series of vigorous anti-slavery labors in Conven-
tions and public meetings. For the last two years
our anti slavery 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 THU
time. We need your money to carry forward
these operations and in this season of UMPIRE
cedented abundance, you will surely be found
ready to give it literally. We need your presenc'
and counsel at the Anniversary. Shall we 40
have it? We need your cooperation and labor
at home, when these public laborers shall yisi
your town or locality. Often much of the goo
of conventions is lost by the lack of sympathy an
aid among the protested friends of the caus
where they are held. Will you Motive mea
every gboltionist pho reads or hears this pardgrap
read-now begin to make your arrangements q
business SO as to have time to give US, vigOrousi
, and efficiently, the helping hand in this can
} paign?
Another request. Will the abolitionists in ever
locality where they want a meeting or convention
t please without delay, make known their wishes b
letter to the editor of the Bugle. Such commun
cations would materially help us in arranging til
series of conventions which will be held. Their
are many places where such meetings have neve
t been held, which might be now visited with prof
, Let us know of them by those acquainted wit
: = their circumstances and wants. We cannot
course visit all places We would desire, but by ked
ing from all, We can SO arrange the conventions a
It best to accommodate the necessities of the greatet
d number. We repeat, let as lear from you Ieith0,
. delay, and prepare yourselves for rigorous cO-Ole
alton at Tie Anniversary and Immediately subs
v quent thereto.

This excellent contribution to the Anti-Slavery

But it is not a work to be forgotten and we recall
the attention of our readers to it, satisfied that
we are thus doing the cause of anti-slavery good
service. In the course of the interesting narrative
the character Of Slavery is truthfully presented,
and its terrible influence upon the Government, the
Church and Society generally, is strikingly por'
trayed. We are glad to learn that its sale is ex.

anti.slavery friends who want an interesting book
for themselves, or one that will do good anti
slavery service in circulation among their neigh

CALL FOR TIE D1sUN1oN CONVENTION.

The question has been asked, How many names
are wanted to this Call2' just as many, dear
friend, MS you can, by any possibility of e%xertion,
obtain. Go far and wide, to every man aud
woman, and those who see the necessity of the
Convention will sign the Call without any argu.
ment others will need to be enlightened. You
cannot do better service to tho cause of the slave,
and of the whole country, than in this work. Pray
do not delay, and spare no ex pense of either time
or money in making this Call a loud one.
CALL FOR A NORTHERN CONVENTION.
Whereas, it must be obvious to all, that the
American Union is constantly becoming more and
more divided, by Slavery into two distinct and an
tagonistic nations, between whom harmony is inn
possible, and even ordinary intercourse is bccom-
ing dangerous;
And, whereas, Slavery has now gained entire
control over the three branches of our National
Government, Executive, Judiciary, and Legisla-
tive he's so interpreted tho Constitution as to
deny the right of Congress to establish freedom
even in the territories, and by the same process
has removed all legal protection from a large
portion of the people of the free Estates, and has
inflicted, at many times and places, outrages far
greater than those which our fathers rose in arms
to repel;
And, whereas, there seems no probability that
the future will, in these respects. be different
from the past, under existing State relations;
The undersigned respectfully invite their fell
low citizens Of the Free States to meet in Conyen'
ton, d., in October, 1857, to con
slider the practicability, probability, and ex2e
diency of a separation of the FREQ and Slave
States, to take such other measures as the condi
ton of the times may require.

farmtr's 0cpaltment,
From the Germantown Telegraph J

Mr.. EprroR:-A paragraph in your paper
states that, among other matters, the "State
of Ohio was the first to introduce, or rather
create, the culture Of grapes in America.
This is slight mistake. AT Spring Mill, not
ten miles from your domicil, there was prevl-
GUS to the year S00 an extensive grhpery and
some good wine was made. Ohio was then a
wilderness.
Major John Album had a considerablevin
yard. and made some very fine wine at the
heights of Georgetown, as early as 1870
Some OF his wine was Of so superior grade,
that bottle for bottle Of the best wine in our
city was offered for it. This was made from
the Scuppernong grape, then extensively cul-
tivuted in North Carolina. Major Admin
petitioned Congress to grant him lease for
25 years, perhaps, of few acres OF ground,
living between the Presidents house and the
Potomac for the purpose of raising grape
vines, and from that point members Of Con-
gress could have sent them all over the Union.
lie offered to leave the ground complete
vineyard Tie grant woS refused.
In 1914 drank very good wine at llarmo-
ME, in Butler county, Pa, made some years
previously. Grapes were quite extensively
cultivated there. About this time ut Nevay
Indiana, grapes were cultivated and wine
made.
Messrs. Longworth and Buchanan and a
few more enterprsing citizens Of Cincinnati
deserve much credit for their persevering anc
already successful efforts in the manufacture
of wines of various kinds, and no doubt they
will be encouraged.
The time will come when owners OF large
farms will make their own wine, as was once
done 10 regard to cider instead Of drinking
whiskey, or so.called French brandy. IL.

THE New ROCHELLE BLACKBERRY is getting
TO be pretty extensively cultivated all over
the country. The ohio Farmer tells US of
one man, in the vicinity Of Cleveland, having
field OF live acres, and that he obtained 25
cents per quart in the market for them. We
have had, ourself but Indifferent success in
eultivatng this fruit; but thus far the fault
is our own; the ground in which they are
planted, is by no means as suitable as il
should be. Our friend John S. lIanes. OF
Germantown, has been very successful in
obtaining an abundance Of fine large berries
The favor however, from the protracted cool
wet summer, was not as fine as in other sea.

Truth is Mighty, and Must Prevail.
Report Of the Committee appointed to supcrin-
tend The Burning IF the Iron Safes, at Read
ing February 81, 1857.
READING, March 4.
The undersigned, members of the committee,
do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes
originally agreed upon by Farrcls & Herring and
Evans & Watson placed side by side in fur
nace, viz: The Safe muse Ivy the Paymaster of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Compa-
ny, in his Office at Reading, manufactured by
Farrels & Herring and the Safe in use by II.
a. Lantz, in his store, manufactured by Evans
& Watson, and put in books and papers precisely
alike.
Ihe,fre YVES started at 81 o'clock, A. NJ, and
kept up until four cords Of green hickory, two
cords dry oak and half chesnut top wood were
entirely consumed the whole under the suIerin-
tendence of the subscribers, members of the Com
mittee. The Safes were then cooled of with
water, after which they were opened, and the
books and papers taken out by the Committee
and sent to II. A. Lantz's store for public exam.
ined and marked by the Committee The books
and papers taken from .he Safe manufactured
oy Farrels y Herring were in our judgment
damaged fully fifteen per cent. more than those
taken from Evans & Wstson's Safe.
We believe the above to have been a fair aut
impartial trial ofthe respective qualities Of botl
Safes

Cleansing Graneries-Defence against
Weevils.

Before storing away your wheat, you should
cleanse your grunaries, for the mode we re-
fer to our remarks last month But as we
consider the cleansing Of grauaries worthy OF
attention, we will premise that however etfec-
tive the mode Of destroying the weevil recon-
mended by NJ. Caillat, we think that previous
to relying upon it the granery should be tho
roughly ceansed In the first place. the
floors walls and ceilings should be carefully
swept, the dirt, cobwebs and insects gathered
and burnt-not swept out of doors. Then
the entire interior Of the granary should be
secured with hot ley, made strong, and when
dry the whole room, from floor to ceiling,
should be white-washed. Such cleansing
woald probably destroy the weevl that proves
SO destructive to stored grain.
We have seen it stated that by spriukllng
lime through the grain, it would preserve 1t
from the ravages OF the weevil,
The following plan is the one pursued by
the late Hon. VIM. Carmichael, former re-
sident Of Queen AIMS county, Maryland.-

For Body, Soul and Mind
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
We praise Thee cvermore

The laughing valleys stand
How plenteously thy Mercy fills
The garners of the land
And therefore will we raise Thee
Our humble anthem thus,
And, sinful children praise Thee
For all thy love for us !

Oertlows our hills and dales;
So truly we adore Thee,

And offer now before Thee
