A COSTLY MoNUMESr.-The Legislature at
its last session appropriated sir thousand dol
lars 10 erect monument at Harrisburg, to
the memory of those Pennsylvanians who fell
or died in the Mexican war. Commissioners
were appointed to decide upon the plan, and
perform such other duties as were necessary
to carry out the object of the law. These
Commissioners met at Harrisburg, last week,
and after consultation, adopted design pre-
pared by gentleman of Philadelphia, provi-
ded it would not cost more than thirty Mous-
aud dollars. We presume it was the object Of
the originators of this project, that a plain
and beftting monument should be erected to
the heroes OF the Mexican war, and the action
of the Legislature in appropriating six thous
and dollars is evidence that such was the case.
The cost has now got up to thirty thousand
dollars. The six thousand dollars will soon
be expended in travelling. and other expenses,
so well understood by some of the gentlemen
composing the commission. The foundation
of the monument will probably be laid, and
the Legislature will be bored year after year
to appropriate funds to complete the struc-
ture. There are different ways of leeching
the State Treasury, and this is not one of the
least ingenious.

We find in one of our late Washington ex-
changes full list of all the acts and resolu
tions, public and private, passed by the late
Congress, which sat from December to the
middle of June-six months and half. There
are about two hundred in all of them. Fifty
three acts and twenty-five joint resolutions
were what is called public acts. OF the fifty
three public acts nineteen were appropriation
bills, and two loans on Treasury note bills;
leaving thirty-one of general character. But
of these four were to alter the times of hold
ing the courts of the United States in various
States; thirteen were on subjects connected
with the Land Office, land warrants and land
districts. This leaves fourteen acts, of which
a amajotity were for insignificant purposes; cor
reeting enrollments, altering collection dis
tricts, providing for the keeping of public
archives-which might be classed with appro-
priations-and miscellaneous relief bills, &c.
In fact there is little of any Importance except
the acts for admitting Kansas and Minnesota
into the Union as States, and the bill for rails
ing frontier regiment for the protection of
Texas. This is pretty much all there is to
show in the way of business for six and a half
months session, and 1000 year to two hun
dred and ninety-six gentlemen of public spirit.

BILL MONTGOMERY AND OLD BUCK.-The
Brownsville Clipper says that it has obtained
the following letter from the gentleman to
whom it was addressed:
ke WASHINGTON, Pa, May 2f, 1858.
ESocH SoUTH, Eso.-My Dear Eriend:--I
hoped to have visited you prior to the primary
election; but it is now more than probable
that cannot do so. | wanted TO converse
with you and to ask your advice and assistance
in the contest now going on for nomination.
/ have learned from others that You were
still my friend, and that You considered it un-
fair to deny me second term. and you do not
know how profoundly grateful felt when
heard of it. You have been my friend SO long,
that / wanted to you, and to grasp once
more your hand, aud to thank you from the
core of my heart.
1t is now fifty-siX years since the custom of
giving faithful democratic representative
ftco terms. began. To deny this to me, would
be a reflection on my conduct, and would dis
grace me forever. Let Gen. Lazear await his
time, and he shall have his flr6 terms without
opposition from me from county.
only ask one more term, and then will with
draw from the field. Please speak to yonr
neighborS for me; do not let them strike me
down. All you do for ME shall be treasured
up in grateful memory.
l remain ever, sincerely your friend,
WM MONTGOMERY.
P. S.-President Buchanan drinks nothing
stimulating except old rye whiskey. 1 told
him that you used to have the best that was
ever distilled in our region, and he made me
promise TO see you and get him some fyou
had it.
Could you let me have barrel, or even a
half barrel, of the best you ever made Write
me. will send keg of it to the old chief,
if can get it. W. nj.
1t may be Interesting to the world to know
that Old Buck s'drinks nothing stimulating ex-
cept old rye whiskey." His choice of pota-
tions is better evidence of his taste than his
familiarity with such fellow Montgomery
would seem to indicate. We may be consid-
cred inquisitive, but we would like to know
whether Old Buck ever got the whiskey SO
kindly ordered for him by Montgomery.

EMANCIPATED SLAVES.

The Cincinnati Gazette Of the 18th, inst, gives
an account of the emancipation Of twelve slaves
that of two Of them quite recently, by Messrs
White, merchants OF that city, The Gazette
says
About four years ago, Messrs. NJ. NJ. & T. 7.
White, doing business on Walnut street, in this
city, came into possession of twelve negro slaves,
men, women an children, by becoming heirs to
portions Of and estate in North Carolina, and
these generous-hearted gentlemen Immediately
took measures to give the entire Invoice" their
freedom. With this view they purchased in Hen
ry county, Indiana, l60 acres of land, stocked 1T
well and put ten of the negroes, who were able
to work upon il. There they have since lived as
happy and as Industrious as any community oil
laborers ia the State, and in addition to acquiring
some little education, they have accumulated con
siderable property from their active and energetic
labors on the iurm.
When the ten negroes were given their freedom
by the Messrs. White, two boys, about l6 years OF
age, were hired to a good employer in North Car
DINA, at a certain price per year, where they have
since remained, until last week when Mr.. +. L.
White passed through the city with them on Sat
urday, on their way tc join the others upon their
Indiana farm. TIE boys were hne.looking, intelll
gent fellows, and were as happy as lords at a
feast, ia their new position OF Tree men. Inc
avails of their four years labor amounted to ABOUT
$500, which is held safely for them until a time
of need. Before leaving North Carolina, Mr..
White was offered So, 900 for the two, but the
inducement was not sufficient to break the first
resolVe-to manumit every slave belonging 10 the
estate, and to put them in a way to earn their own
living, and become useful citizens. The act was
conceived in the warinest benevOlenee, ana mas
been carried out in good faith. By this time, the
last two are with their fellows, prepared to aid IN

For thu Bugle.
EDITOR BuGLE-DEAR SIR: We had the pleas.
ure II few evenings since of listening to an anti
slavery lecture from John Gurley. Mr.. Gurley is
an able speaker and has gained a large amount
of information within the few years of liberty
which he has enjoyed. The evening was very dis.
agreeable, yet he was welcomed by a full house.
The use of the Methodist Episcopal church was
granted him, though refused to previous lecturers,
Many now listened attentively who had heretofore
opposed agitation on the subject and had followed
the example of their ministers in refusing to listen
to the teachings of justice, mercy and humanity.
But many of them even went so far on The present
occasion as to give small sums towards a collec'
tion which was taken up for the benefit of Mr..
Gurley. This is cheering it shows Improvement
Public opinion has at last forced them to be more
liberal in their views. Slow improvement is bet
ter than none. After Mr.. Gurlcy had closed, an
opportunity was given Cor remarks either for or
against his position, when our Minister (who had
held forth to the deluded ones in the afternoon)
arose and declared himself an out and out aboli
ZIONIST of the thorough stamp. lie informed us
that be had wished and longed for an opportunity
to make himself conspicuous in the anti.slavery
cause yet when that opportunity presented itself
he said he had rather not enter the fight at pres.
ent but thought it best to wait until his divine
Master should specially call him to DO battle against
this master sin. If God has not already called, ]
ask, in the name Of common sense, when he ex.
poets to receive such u call Injustice, mercy and
humanity have called, and are now calling, and
will continue to call loudly ,as long as there are OPP
press0rs ard oppressed on earth. There are many
ministers now waiting Tor God to give them a spec
iaI call to preach charity love and humanity thatit
is hopeful they may soon have a revelation to theiI
waiting hearts. How preposterous to think tina
God will call upon them to do what their nature.
(if not perverted ly their professional must long
have informed them was their duty to their fellow
man. If it is a fact that the greater the sinner
the more glorious the saint, l imagine that thes,
same proslavery Christian ~ professors will MAKE
glorious anti-slavery saints if they ever get thei
eyes open and awaken to u full sense of their duty

tyrdom for the sake Of principle. Could we for.
get that those speeches were prefaced with an
oath to support the very system which they 81
eloquently denounco, it would add the charm Of
consistency to the thrilling olvquence of truth.
Could these msE lead the mass Of their party up
I. their own standard, the platform Of party
would not be SO often lowered to &c comodate the
weak and feeble ones, Our state would not be
disgraced as now, by q School law" that does not
recognize the right of every child without regard
to color to the same educational privileges. The
so called, "free state constitution" of Kansas,
would never have had so foul q blot as it now
bears, in that clause that forbids any colored per-
son from becoming the owner of an inch of its
free soil" In short, the entire North would not
daily and hourly reduce TO practice a sentiment
that shocks hcir virtuous sen Utilities and arr used
their Indignation, when for the first time they saw
it clothed in the language of Taney's decision
"Colored men have no rights W hich white men are
bound to respect" Well it does look odious in
words but words are harmless if we do not give
them life and power by viler acts, and more obi
Gus deeds.

SENSIBLY SAID.

Mr.. Giddings, writing on the 9Th, OF January
from Wash ington, very sensibly condemns the
savage practice Of celebrating with drunken orgies
shat anniversary OF human slaughter, lie says
This is the glorious Sth, of january, the anni-
'versary of a great slaughter of human beings
when some hundreds Of our fellow mortals were
. sent to their final account, by balls and bayonets.

commemoration Of barbarous b%utchery, 0i scenes
unworthy of Christian nations, derogatory 10
human nature. Had Britain done some noble,
some christian act, and our people had nobIy re-
sponded in IL christian manner, there would be
~propriety in ~commemorating such an event.-but
TO perpetuate the commemoration OF human butch
.ery, is, in nv view, simply heathenish. But Con-
:gress was SO sulemuly impressed with the great
and magnificent scene of fendish conflict, that
