IZENS OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES.
Fellow CITIZENS: We issue this call to invite
you to attend a Convention to be held in the City
of Boston commencing at 10 o'clock on Monday,
the LIST day of August. 1859.
The primary object we have in view 10, to take
into consideration the Moral. Social, ard Political
elevation Of those with whom we are identified, BY
com and condition, in tho Now England
and other Stateo..
In all, except Eve of the eastern States. the col.
ored citizens are deprived Of the privileges of vot
ing on equal .ermb with the whites.
Free suffrage 10 the basis of q free government
the safeguard of a free people, the strength Of tn
strong, the defence of tho weak, a powerful aux
and just in proportion az men are deprived of this
they are sborn Of their strength, and are subjec
to poverty, disgrace, and abuse.
We are convinced. fellow citizens. that not only
our political, but our depressed condition in al
other respects in the Free States, is owing in q
great degree to the fact, that we are politically
weak, not possessing the unrestricted use of the
elective franchise. The national body polite see
in US nothing to fear, and no favors to court.
We therefore urge upon colored men in oil Sec
tions of New England. to evince their self-respect
and love Of freedom, 4 devise to promote their
moral. social, and political elevation, by assem-
bling at the above time,--a day consecrated by the
signal and successful example of Great Britain
emancipating 500, 600 men, women, and children
in her West India colonies, and hence eminently
suggestive to US to strive in securing equality TO
the half free colored citizens Of the Northern
States, and thus hasten the day of full 'emancipa-
tion to the millions yet groaning in the Southern
prison-house Of our country.
We cordially invite cur brethren from New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the far West, to
meet with US. that the cause of our several griey-
ances may be discussed, and the remedy sought.
With the exception of Connecticut, the New
England States have magpanimously acknowl-
edged our political rights, and great progress has
been made in our moral and social elevation with
in the past twenty-five years. Blu. let US, fellow
citizens, extend the words OF encouragement to
our brethren struggling in other States, until the
rights OF colored Americans shall be granted and
respected everywhere.
This call Issued BY authority of q public meet.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

our law against free blacks is scarce less oPPres-
sive than that Of Arkansas. Ho tells me many
there are choosing masters, and going into slavery
not knowing how to do better. "Why did not
your" "Ah, sir, | have been o slave once" But
our American yoke is heavy and we lay it on.
Yours. e.. JAMES.

the money out of our pockets to make up the &C.

The foregoing bill of expenses leads off with
fifteen millions for the purchase of Louisiana.
which, with interest paid on the same, amounted
to over twenty-three millions of. dollars. Every
one knows the weight Of precedent ia deciding
any mooted question. A lawyer cannot make a
plea without quoting a precedent a Judge canno,
charge a jury without quoting a precedent; in al
most all questions in morals, Law, and politics prece-
dents carry great weight. If the scale is nearly
balanced, u we'll selected precedent invariably
inclines it; and if it is very unevenly bal
anced, a precedent will often outweigh truth,
justice. right, and every other moral con-
alteration. Not only does the character Of
the precedent established. but also the character
OF him who establishes it. have Its influence upon
community, and if the precedent be wrong, the
curse is greater in proportion to the elevated posi-
ton which is occupied by the actor in it.
The purchase of Louisiana was the precedent
which made comparatively easy the purchase of
Florida, and by a slight change in the phraseology,
the stealing of Texas, California, New Mexico.
&c. Thomas Jefferson was the man, who, as Pres
iden, of the United States, created into a law the
bill by which twenty-three millions of dollars were
taken from the treasury for the purchase Of Louis
Jana thus establishing a precedent by which sim
liar inroads upon the Treasury were made easy,
and this was done. too, when Thomas Jefferson
himself declared that he had constitutional doubts

THE GOOD TIME COMING"

The Ohio State Journal, in an article upon the
Democracy, says.
Gas to democracy being hostile to negro suffrage,
1t will be time enough for the Journal to express
its views on that when we have any genuine evil
dence of such hostility. At present the facts all
indicate the reperss. When democracy opposes this
suffrage in those localities where it has gained by
it, we may believe its opposition hdnes.."
The colored men of Ohio must certainly feel that
the elective franchise is almost within his grasp.
The Republican State Convention procluims itself
an advocate of 'the ireest exercise Of the right of
suffrage for all ~citizens;" and the central Repub-
lican organ declares, that at present facts indicate
that the Democracy is in favor of negro suffrage.
If the colored men Of this state don't obtain theiI
rights very speedily, it will certainly be because
of the opposition Of the Know othings. who may
possibly prove stronger than both of the other
parties, and thus prevent the extension os the
elective franchise to persons with colored blood in
their veins, q contamination so ardently desired
both by the Republican and Democratic parties.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Oct 10.
TIE President and Secretary of War
were together several hours yesterday ON
matters connected with the proceedings at
Harper's Ferry, the result of which con-
ference was the sending of United States
District Attorney. Ould. thither to super
intend the legal proceedings in The prem.
ises.
The Excitement which last night existed
at Washington and vicinity has subsidized,
and the extraordinary force relieved.
It is siad that the affair at Harper's Fer
ry Is the first case of the kind which has
ever occurred in this country, involving at
the same time State and federal jurisdic-
ton. While the State is affected as TO
slavery and locality. the Federal Govern.
ment is interested with regard to the pub.
lie property, it having exclusive control
over the Arsenal grounds independently,
and for the State also with regard to the
NILS. Already, in distinguished quarters,
the question of jurisdiction is discussed
Governor Wise will, it is said, claim the
prisoner row held by the United States
troops. TO be dealt with according to the
laws of Virginia. In this case the question
of jurisdiction viii have to be determined
by the Judiciary.

What more he would have said. if any

sprang to the tea table, seized hold of a

One day the renowned physician. Sir
Thomas Elliot, was not himself. In lieu
of the stately imperturbability which char
acterized the distinguished west-end prac-
titioner, his manners betrayed nervous
ness, an absence of mind. never before
witnessed. To one lady patient who con-
suited him for dypeps,a, he ordered cod
liver oil and port wine; to another who was
deep in consumption. he prescribed leech-
es, and to live upon barley water. He
had large influx of patients that day,
and an unusual number of calls to make
from home. MOI until few minuts before
the dinner hour did he find his time his
own.

The Herald's Washington correspondent
telegraphs: The sectary of War has re-
ceived. since the affair at Harper's Ferry,
an insolent letter, psrporting to come FROM
the notorious Cook, ,Idated at Chambers
burgh. Pa, informing him that il is his
intention to morch an army of several
thousand men. and take Harper's Ferry
and Charleston, liberate the prisoners, and
perform snndry other ridiculous feats.-
They would hardly have given the Sectary
warning in advance if they really intended
to carry out their threat.
