FORCE OR NO FORCE.

1t is the constant boast Of the Republicans that
they will whip the Cotton States into obedience.
There are two or three considerations worthy of
notice in this threat. In the first place, it sounds
very much like the bullying which they arc in the
habit OF considering as purely Of Southern origin.
In the second place, the very curious might en-
quire why it was that these sanity gentlemen de-
sired to force a fellowship with barbarians, blood
hounds, slave-breeders, slavedrivers, and dealers
in their own flesh and bloodi Why it was that
they were not glad to get rid Of such heathensb,
poverty-stricken. and goddess set Of outlaws and
scamps; and at the Same time wash their own
hands of all connection with the "accursed insttu-
ion?" In the third place ii would not be amiss to
conjecture whether these gentlemen who are so
brave in their numbers, and so fiery in courage,
when backed by the National 20 wer, intend to 90
down into the fever swamps of South Carolina
and Florida and perform this little joke Of whip
ping half dozen States into obedience, them
selves; or whether they expect to do all the gass
ing, as usual ge: fat contracts to supply the army
under old Abe, and let Democrats and their "vo-
ting caRle" do che 6ghting2
In ths fourth and most important place how is
that ltslt modest operation Of whipping and hang
ing thsR.cle South going to turn out: We say
tbe whole South, for as sure as the sun rises and
sets in the heavens, the very moment that South
ern blood flows by on Abolition government the
outpests of your enemy will be transferred from
the banks OF the Pedee to those OF the Pontomac
and Ohio The man who doubts this neither COM
prehends the Southern people nor the times in
which he lives If there is to be war, there viii be
one, net between the General Government and a
State but one between the whole North and the
whole South. This is certain, and it is we'll for u.s.
when we determine to whip somebody, to know
beforehand who is to be the customer We have to
handle.
We must calculate, when the process does COM
mepce, to keep it up just long there is bread
TO eat, or man to pull trigger in the Southern
States; for, in spite of your taunts, they are
brave and heroic people, and will perish in Ge-
fence of their homes and their honor. When you
have killed few hundred thousands, just take
breath a little and look around you aud you will
see plenty more such ready to be fogged. You can
do great deal of mischief, but it will be very
ugly and two-sided game; and if nothing else will
do, o,foreign aid will be called at any sacrifice rather
than submit to you. Upon the whole we advise
our Republican friends to quit talking so much
about whipping people into the traces. 1t has an
ugly sound, and tends greatly to aggravate and
enough to talk of killing other people when we
have got right ourselves, and have other resort

From tho Liberator.
LETTER FROM MRS. FRANCES D. GAGE.

MENDOZA, Qll.;) Dec. l, 1860.
FRIEND GARRIsoN,-I have just laid down the
Liberator Of the 10th of November, containing the
letter of Parker Pilsbury, bearing date from this
place. We thank him for those frank words of re-
proc: 10 the manhood of our country; but he is
mistaken in saying that "the most lynx-eyed Of
the Woman Rights Lecturers havs failed to note
the wrong" which he so graphically describes.
Some of us have no! only noted, but we have
been "a chiel among them taking notes, and, faith
have printed them" many time.
Well might the sights and scenes which every
day met his eyes and ears almost make him forget
the plantations Of the South - The four million
slaves of the Southern plantations, whose skins
mark their position, are but fraction Of the
slaves of these United States; and if these things
meet US among reformers, among men protesting
to believe in human rights, what can be tne con-
dition Of wives where men recognize only rights
for the "free white male oitzen2" Can we expect
any earnest nti-savery effort while nearly every
man in the country over twenty-five years of age
owns one pair of hands, for whose labor of life
port" Will he have any realizing sense of the
degradation Of caste, so long as he spurns the
idea of equal rights for the sexesf
We heard an anti-slavery man OF the strongest
stamp, few days sincei asserting the idleness and
dependence of Illinois women-indeed, of all
women-there "was not one in Fifty that was the
least help to man in getting living, and nino-
tenths Of them could not even do their own wOrk
without hired help. Talk about giving such wo
men the right to acquire and hold property
We asked him demurely who raised all the chill
dren OF Illinois-who cooked all the food-who
tended all the Household OperatiOnS-who made
the clothes for the family-who nurSed the sick
who SET the tables, swep. the house, and washed
the garmentsf

PUGH ON OHIO LEGISLATION.
F. D. GAGE.

Senator Pugh made a speech in Cincinnati on
the 31st ult., in which he said:-
There was nothing more clearly written in the
Constitution of the United States than that the fu-
gitive slave that escaped from his master into a
free State should not by that act become Free but
should on demand be delivered up. II this was
too hard condition for us Of the free States to
observe, why let us go at it manfully, and amend
the Constitution. Do it like men. This thing of
going about slipping around, and speaking side
ways, and getting up a war of Constables and jus
tices of the Peace and Probate Judges, TO evade
constitutional law-met with his unu!terable con-
tempt. tremendous appausel
Mr.. Pugh reviewed at length the legislation of
the State of Ohio in respect to the rendition of fu
gitive slaves. He quoted the law of 1856. and in
stanced the imprisonment of Deputy Marshals in
Green county. This law gave the Probate Judge
authority to issue his writ of ha6eas corpus to be
served not only in his own county, but throughout
the State. This law had been repealed by party
vote-the Republicans against repeal, the Demo-
Gratis for it, The same Legislature that had enac-
ted this law thus repealed, had enacted that, if
anybody brought slave into the State, even for
minute, such person was subjected 10 fine and i'm
prisOnment II sick Southern lady for instance,
should bring her nurse with her, and stop at the
Spencer or Burnot House, she might be imprson;
ed and fined.
This too had been wiped out. 1t had been in
tended by the Legislature of 1857 to wipe out oil
this legislation, but some of il had been forgot
ten.
Mr.. Pugh here gave history Of the passage of
the act by the Legislature Of last winter to forbid
the use of the county jsils for the confinement Of
fugiiveS from service. The wording of the statute
was that United States prisoners should be allowed
in the county jails only wheu they had been
guilty Of crime" This law, Mr.. Pugh argued,

Montgomery has regularly organized band of
about sixty men, who receive ten dollars per month
besides portion Of the ro5beries, &C., and also
spies and runners all over the country, who give
him timely notice Of any movement set against
him. The day before the troops reached Mound
City, Montgomery's men, to the number of be-
tween four hundred and Eve hundred, assembled
and passed resolutions, q copy of which have been
published in the black republican papers. ! think
the best and cheapest way to catch Montgomery
and his party will be TO furnish the Governor with
funde, and let him do it in his own way.
Believing that could render no more service
by remaining longer at Fort Scott determined
to return to my headquarters in this city &c.
cordingly left Fort Scott on the morning of the
llth and arrived here on Saturday evening last
the 18th instant.

Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1861-01-12

party has found within the article establishing the
Executive Department the means of subverting
the Constitution itself. A geographical line has
been drawn across the Union and all the States
north of that line have united ia the election Of q
man to the high Office OF President OF the United
States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to
Slavery. lie lie to be intrusied with the admins
tration of the common Government, because he
has declared that that Government cannot endure
permanently half slave, half free," and that the
public mind must rest in the belief that Slavery is
in the course of ultimate extinction.
This sectional combination for the subversion of
the Constitution has been aided 10 some OF the
States by elevating to citizenship persons who by
the supreme law of the land, are incapable of be-
coming citizens aud their votes have been used to
inaugurate a new policy hostile to the South, and
destructive of its peace and safety.
On the 4th of March next this party will take
possession of the Government, 1t has announced
that the South shall be excluded from the common
territory; that the judicial tribunals shall be made
sectional, and that war must be waged against
Slavery until i. shall cease ghout the United
States.
The guarantees Of the Constitution will then no
lost Tho Savehodng States will no longer have
the power of sell-government or self-protection,
and the Federal Government will have become
their enemies.
Sectional interest and Mostly will deepen the
irritation, and all hope Of remedy is rendered vain
10y the fact ha public opinion at the North has in
vested great political error with the sanctions of
more erroneous religious belief.
We therefore, the people of South Carolina by
cur delegates in Convention assembled appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rect-
tude Of our intentions, have soemnly declared
that the Union he.etofore existing between this
State aud the other States of North America is
dissolved, and that the State of South Carolina
