SONS, they awaken thought, and will surely help
carry on a revolution in public opinion favorable
to universal freedom.
You have probably heard by this time of the
shameful refusal of the wesly chapel of Cincinnati
to admit the colored Sabbath school children with
the white children, because of the outlawed blood
IN their veins. Other children might enter their
temple, and lift their hands in prayer to a common
Father, but these poor children of a pariah race,
might not kneel with them and call God their ia.
Their. From hundreds of youthful lips might as.
cend songs Of praise, but these dark browed chill
dren might not mingle in their songs, nor join in
their strains. And yet these men who smote our
children with this cruel repulse, can prate about
bringing children to Christ. The Christ Of Calva-
ry was kind, and took little children in his arms
and blessed them these men repulse the children
OF q despised race and forbid them entering their
sacred NJ fame. The Christ of Judea was merci.
ful and good, and taught the law Of love. these
men trample on the brotherhood of man and shake
hands with cruelty and crime. Once a year on
Easter the Russian serf may embrace his master
or the master embrace him, and say "Christ has
risen for u.s." The poorest Mahometan may kneel
beside his richest brethren, saying "God is God
and Mahomet is his prophet" But protested
christians can thrust aside the children who they
say are bought with the same price and redeem
ed with the same blood; can treat them as the out.
casts of humanity and the Pariahs of mankind.
There was something so mean and cruel in the
deed. 1t was cruel to both races, cruel to teach
the white children such lessons of selfish hypocri.
cy, cruel to teach our children such barbarity and
practical Atheism.

God if he will only give me power to expose this
act of shameful infidelity to God and man this

Of the American church, who uphold a system o!

THE SENTENCE OF BUSHNELL.

The scene in the Court this "wednesday morn
memory of those who were spectators of the most
glazing instance of judicial injustice that Ohio ev-
er saw. The Court room was crowded and many
we're unable to get near enough to hear the pro,
~ceedings. The prisoner Bushnell, came in bring,
ing his child of perhaps eighteen months of age,
and accompanied by his wife and other female rel.
atives and friends.
The lecture read by Judge Wilson to the pris'
oner was in as bad taste as in bad temper. A
stranger, not knowing the case on trial would
have su opposed q counterfeiter was standing up tc
receive his sentence to the Penitentiary. When
wo look back to the charge given by Judge Will
son to the Grand Jury-of which Boynton was
chief, and which found these indictments,-when
the Court went clear off the Bench to dilate upon
the theology of Oberlin. when We read tho charge
of this same Judge to the Petit Jury in the case
OF Langston, in which the Court gavo the Jury a
lecture upon its duty as to the enforcement of this
Fugitive Law-as if fearful there might be some
Democrat on that jury who might wavcr-when
we reflect upon the cruel sentence of Bushnell, by
which Q young man, just beginning life, dependent
utbh MS A"''J " " v u lOuUg
wife and infant child, is doomed to sixty DAYS in,
generation injail-in addition to the thirty already
Suffered-sentenced to pay a fine of six hundred
dollars and the costs of prosecution-these latter
reaching TO perhaps fifteen hundred or two thous.
and dollars-we contest hat Judge Wilson has
executed this infamous Fugitive Slave Law nth a
vengeance. The thing is past belief did not the
hearing of the ears of FIVE hundred people proclaim
its reality.
We speak plainly, but personal considerations
must be entirely laid aside rather than such q Ju.
dicial wrong go unrebuked. Justice has been
stabbed in its Temple, and State Sovereignty and
the rights Of the citizens of Ohio not only invaded,
but have been stricken down on the very steps of
the Altar of what should be the Mercy Seat

LETTER FROM MISS WATKINS.


WHEREFORE INSTITUTE.
RESPECTED FRIEND: My last letter for the Bugle
was dated Pittsburg. Since then l have returned
to Ohio, and been lecturing almost constantly ever
since | left Pittsburgh. My last meeting there
was in Lafayette Hall. 1t was not very large but
quite interesting. Madame Picolomi was there,
and of course, a source of attraction. However
there were some earnest hearts who could turn
from the charms of the enchantress to listen to the
cries of the enslaved, who were not only willing to
hear anti slavery truth but lend their co-opera,
ton.
Among those who lent a helping hand 1 would
mention Rev. Mr.. Peck and Tibbs, and Mrs. Lau,
re,ta Smith at whose home l was kindly and hos.
pitably entertained. AS you were present at my
meeting in Salem it will be no news to you to tell
you Of the respectable size of the audience not
outstanding the ~inclemency of the weather.
Since then l have lectured twice in Salineville,
where / was kindly entertained at Mrs. Bracken's,
| have spoken twice in Columbus, three times in
Delaware, once in Springfield, but none of these
meetings were very largely attended. Last week
| held a number of meetings in Cincinnati, one
in Elder Sheldon's and one in Rev. Mr.. Colver's
church. l spoke on Life and existence in Mr.. Shell.

Colver's church. The last meeting was pretty
well attended. | have hal good meetingsin Xe.

HARSH JUDGMENT"

a sermon which has justly been made the subiec,

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, has refused to speak
at the meeting of the Church Anti-Slavery Soci.
ETY., which treats slavery itself as a sin and pro.
poses its abolition but we understand that the
Boston American Society, which v~ehemently dis
claims being an Abolition Society and only pro.
poses fraternally to discuss 'those moral duties
which grow out Of the existence of slavery" and
those moral evils which it is known to promote
is to have the benefit of his eloquence and of the
ecldt that goes with his name. That he should
shrink from taking his stand boldly and unequiv'
ocally by the side Of DR.. Cheeyer, does not, in
view of his past course, much surprise US but
we confess ourselves astonished at his blindness
and folly in p%lunging into the abyss of compro-
mise opened by the INSCRIPTIONS managers OF
the Boston American Tract Society. That Society
is treacherOus alike to Christianity and to the
Anti-Slavery cause, and it is not creditable to Mr..
Beecher's moral discernment that he should con-
sent to give it his aid and support.-Anti &arery

A REMINISCENCE,

Since the notoriety recently accorded to Judge
Hiram V. Wilson, some minds appear to have
been stirred up by way of remembrance, and bur.
ried facts, half forgotten. are exhumed, and sent
forth or a new pilgrimage, and with far more OF.
tensive letters of credence than they ever before
had.
The Cleveland Judge Wilson of $50 has become
universally known through the rescue trials as Q
fit TOOL of the South, and all admire his capacity
for the dirty work be has undertaken. The Ruf.
falo Lawyer Wilson of al, is likely to becomesaa
we'll known, and in a similar department Of bust,

work, aiding to kidnap from the very city Of Gle,

found against him by the Grand Jury of the Coun.
ty Of Erie, City of Buffalo, acting for the people

that he was demanded for trial CT the Executive Of
Ohio, by William A. Seward, then Governor Of
New York. The principal kidnappor by some
means escaped, and Wilson was permitted to 70

to feel their own meanness in having an indicted

eight years q requisition from the Governor Of
New York, preside on the Bench OF the United
States District Court Of Ohio for the Northern
District, and administer his so'called Justice and
