sLAvERY's BODY GUARDS.

THE following is from the Cleveland correspon-
dent of tho CAdrdon Democrat
The Marshal has employed as special deputies,
about forty of the most desperate rowdies and
vagabonds of tho city. They are reckless-accus-
toned to the use of wenpons-would not hesitate
TO take life-and an equal number of negroes,
though we'll armed, would not be able to cope with
them. l learn also that the Marshal has procured
promise from the "Grays" to assist in conveying
the fugitive back to Virginia, for which service the
company is to receive two dollars per day for each
soldier, and expenses paid, all Of the money, of
course, TO come out of Uncle Sans pocket. Now,
when we take into account the fact that the
"Grays" are mostly Republicans, with Republican
officers, it does seem strange that they should
evince such unseemly alacrity in assisting to cap
.ure and carry of a poor, ignorant, helpless negro,
and q female at that. 1t 10 about on a par with
the chase Of the U. S. soldiers in Florida, after the

much Of an Abolitionist, but l would as soon be
caught on a stolen horse as to be guilty of such q
dirty Job as volunteering to carry back q fugitive
slave. And OF such q time as this, too. Only the
other day, our Southern brethren fred into q ma
tional vessel, simply because she carried the Stars
and Stripes. Virginia, where this claimant comes
from, is today plotting, treason against the Gov
eminent, and organizing an armed force to resist
the inauguration Of the new President. And
must we get down in the dust and crawl before
the slave-driying nobility of the despotic portion
Of our country-make slaves of curselves-suffer-

THE HUM0RS OF THE SLAVE CASE II
CLEVELAND.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Of Tuesday after
noon says:
The colored men are greatly enraged at the con-
duct of some Republican policemen yesterday.
They say the harshest treatment they received was
from the latter. Says one of them-"A Demo-
crat was de only ge'man in de crowd. He took a
couple Of '~publicans ob'One Of our J~eters or they'd
land him to DEATH"
A wonderful change has become suddenly ap-
parent in the tone Of numerous leading Republic
ans. The honest masses of that party, who are
sincere in their Abolition sentiments don't know
what to make of it exactly. We overheard an
earnest Republican making feeling complaints be-
cause the new sheriff told him to "dry up on his
damned nigerism," when he began to denounce
Yesterdays proceedings. 'Good God J" cried the
man, raising his hands and eyes with woe ant

is perfectly inexplicable.

For the Auti-slavery Bugle.
THE SLAVE LUCY.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. &c,

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. &c, 1861.
EDITOR BUoLE You know by this time that the
unfortunate slave Lucy, has been sent back to bon
dage. Hhe %clearest seer would not have prophecied
twelve months ago that Anti-Slavery Cleveland
would willingly send a woman back to slavery
especially when the victim is a young woman who
is soon to add another to the captive race. But it
is even SO, Slavery cries "give, givel' It's hungry
howl is heard above the Christ-voice which says,
aye are brothers ALL" Miss-called Christian ears
listen to the Yultura call, and Christian hands,
already stained with human blood, make haste to
prepare the blood feast. Those who ask shelter in
our homes and mercy iu our hearts, have been
yictlmized for Slavery's sake. These Wretched
crimes are committed in the name o. law and
order and we are expected to regard Item ae
virtues.
Men of the North 60 South with their Anti
Slavery sentiments locked fast within their hearts
and are shot, hung or burned; the women of the
North are insulted and driven from Southern
States for no crime save having lived among aboli-
~tionists. This is oil we'll enough. The Southern
laws never interfere with the murderers and
knaves, and the North submits quietly to the gross
outrage. Southern men come among US in search
of human chattles. They proclaim on the street
corners, and at hotel tables, their hatred of the
Northerners, and their love of slavery; they are
Toasted and aattered, and all the city and State
officials are ready to obey their orders. If q per
son protests against this pandering to the slave
power, he is coolly told that the Union must be
preserved at the cost of four millions of human
hearts.
If Cleveland represents the North, land who
doubts itf) the South may rest assured that we are
ready for any concession. ready to bow, as only
towards will bow, to the despotic yoke. We are
ready to serve the South by huntiug out the brave
hearts that have escaped from their murdcroui
hands, and sending them again into captivity. w
brook the vilest insults; we are silent after having
been refused the bones Of our murdered friends
aud all for the poor privilege of paying the debit
Of the p~rOaigate South and calling her sister.
The Union must be preserved, even il it is CO

WORSE N WORSE.

1t is said that cities are fostering sores on the
body polite; and their history furnishes q %continu-'
Gus series of events to substantiate the truth of
this assertion. We had hoped that Cleveland
would prove an exception to this rule. Being an
inland city of but moderate size, and situated on,
the northern border of our country, bathed in the
waters of the free Erie, and kissed BY the breeze
fresh from the ~fugitives' homo in Canada, We had
hoped that auti-slavery wise, Cleveland was sound
at least so far as her profession of the faith
reached. But though comparatively fair and
~healthful to look upon, there was corruption be-
meath the surface, and it required but a slight
pressure to cause a discharge of the fostering mat
ter, and to demonstrate the existence of a rotten.
ness that many were slow to believe could be found
there.
There have been slave cases in other cities pre-
senting particulars Of greater outrage than that
presented in Cleveland in the case of the slave
girl Lucy. The rendition Of Sims and Burns in
Boston, with the Court House encircled BY chains,
and martial law prevailing in the city, was a great
er outrage upon the captive and the people, than any
perpetrated by the U. S. officials in the recent case
The heartless Indifference, the humiliating conces-
sions, the entire submissiveness, and the utter sell
%6shness, of Republicans who profess to have souls
to be saved or damned, are what constitute the dis.
gushing features of the case, and stamp it with un-
approachable infamy; and the more it is exam
ined, the worse it appears.
The editorials of the Leader, copied on our first
page, are conclusive as to the position Of it's con-
~ductors, and of the great mass Of the party for
whom it speaks; and no one who really loves free
dom can read them without feeling an utter dis.
guest at the sentiments therein advanced, and a
perfect contempt for those who thus basely bend
the knee at ~slaveTy's bidding, and exchange the
birlhright Of true manhood for a small mess Of
very Indifferent political pottage. Yet we know
there are men and women ia Cleveland who
mourn over the infamy of their city as much as
any one possibly can; they, Of course, ara to be
excepted from the general condemnation, and We
should be glad if truth permitted us to except from

but the published records furnish no such in.
stance.
The writ of habeas corpus which was sued out
before Judge rilden was evidently not designed
to be of any benefit to the slave, but to presen. q
shoW of doing something, while in fact there was
no substance in the proceeding. The decision Of
! Judge TiAen which released the girl from the jail,
but not from the custody Of those who held her,
was Of no earthly benefit to the captive. And il
seems TO US the Judge made a fatal mistake for hrs

1t is amusing to notice the complaints made in
the Republican papers of Cleveland, of the char
acter of the Deputy U. s.. Marshals employed in
the slave case. The Cleveland Herald says that
unfortunately . Tow '.rssshs,' ~aro employed ,
and it thus PHILOSOPHERS 4

1t has been supposed that the business of stand

in itself, altogether reputable, when viewed from
an antislavery standpoint. When a Republican
Administration is inaugurated, we suppose VI
shall have q reformation in these matters. Gen

ness, will be employed as Deputy Marshals. Flu
gitive-slave catching will be transacted in q hu

of the Gospel and the Chicago platform, and tn

From the Liberator.
WENDELL PHILLIPS AT THE MUSIC
HALL.

The Address Of Mr.. Phillips, at the Music hall,
on Sunday, the 10th inst, before the Twenty
Eight Congregational Society of Boston, was one
Of the most impressive and admirable speeches be
ever delivered. The full report of it, which has
gone abroad in large editions of the alias and Bee
and Of the Trdceller, and which now appears in
the Liberator, will chow the reader that it was not
deficient in energy or t~horoughDess. Yet several
persons who have been wont to censure Mr.. Phil
lips's directness of speech praised this address
heartily, and said the speaker was more moder-
ate than usual " thus showing the unconscious
change which had come over Themselves in their
estimate Of slavery and anti-slavery.
But O still stronger evidence of the power of elo-
quence and truth combined was in that very small
proportion of the audience which had come to the
Holl to express their dislike Of the speaker, and
their dissent from his ideas.
Before commencing the address, Mr.. Phillips
requested that his friends of the Twenty-Eight
Congregational Society, would observe the accus-
toned ~quietnoss Of that time and place and they
did so.
But from a small number Of persons, seated in
the further part Of the upper balcony, came at in.
tervals brief expressions Of derisive applause, al
ternating with Kisses, in response to the stronger
expressions of the address, whether afirmatiOn'
of anti-slavery or descriptions Of pro-slavery.
There was one amusing instance in which thu
disturbers, having said A, with hearty good will
found themselves embarrassed in saying B. Wher
the speaker said of the class led by Seward, WHIT
are now Offering anything and everything to sav'
the Union-"Their Gospel is the Constitution
clamorous applause came from the upper balcony
but when be proceoded-"and the slave clause i
their sermon on the mount,"-there was q sligh
pause, and then a feeble attempt to raise anothe
clap. But it died away Intellectually. Even tn
70 Tdies of Boston could not cheer that description
of their characters and lives. They can practis
the slave-clause on week days without a blush
but when it is placed side by side with the sci
mon on the mount, even they could not help fee
ing the shameful contrast.
When Mr.. Phillips said that even now, in cas-
Of any assault from q foreign foe, Massachusett
and South Carolina would stand shoulder to shoul
der to repel it, the applause (still proceedin
from the same persons) was genuine and hearty
From that time to the end Of the address, it wa
more frequently an expression of assent than G
dissent. And the splendid concluding apostrophe
in which the speaker mentioned John Brown will
honor, and mentioned Disunion as the inevitable
fororunner OF Abolition, was heard with silenc
immense audience.-c. X, W.

TREASON-TRAITORs.

There are two kinds of treason, and there are trail.
tors of different grades. There is treason against
the Higher Law, and treason against the lower
law. And as the Lord God is more exalted than.
the Federal Union, and his laws more worthy Of
obedience than the laws Of the U. S. Congress, 60
is the treason which rebels against his government
and sets his commando at naught, infinitely great
or than the treason which defes and resists the
government Of this country.
Charleston, South Carolina, is denounced BY the
people Of the North as a nest of traitors; and vhyy
There is no lack Of law there, nor of obedience to
law. Government is recognized there as an estsb-
lished fact, and its officials are held in due respect.
The anedged treason appears to consis; in this:-
The laws which are obeyed, are the laws Of South
carolina, and not those of the United States; SONG
OF the former, it seems, directly conflicting with
the latter. The North declare this to be treason.
and none the less treason because Charleston calls
it patriotism.
1t the people Of Charleston are bound to recop.
nize the rightful authority Of the United States,
how much more are the people of Christendom,
bound to recognize the fact, that above all human
governments, the Lord God Omnipotent reignesh,
Judge Smalley of New York, sitting upon the
bench Of the u. S. Court, felt it to be his duty 10
present to the Grand Jury the present position and
recent acts of South Carolina as constituting tres-
SON. and wo-in behalf of ourself and of every
one who acknO Wedges the supremacy of Gods
government, and HE right to exact obedience to
his m is whatever other laws may Justify or
require-do, with q full sense oS our responsibility
resting upon US, present to the Grand Jury Of
Public Opinion, the City of Cleveland, as being
guilty OF treason against Gods government, as seI
forth in the deliberate and wilful rendition of the
slave girl Lucy. Such t~reachery cannot be extern
uated by a plea Of ignorance, for every p~rofessedI
Christian had before him his open Bible in which
was written, 'Thou shalt not return 10 his master
the servant who has escaped from his master unto
thee" But with deliberate action they chose
rather to obey the law of Congress which COM
mands she shall be delivered up" and justified
themselves in trampling upon Jehovah's law, BY
pleading the obligations imposed by mans govern
ment, and their desire to soothc the chafed spirit
of the South; and to preserve the Federal Union
they willingly sacrificed their sympathies, their
E sense of justice, and their convictions Of the 10,
, quirements Of Christianity. And this treason they
call patriotism, as the people of Charleston call
e their acts patriotism.
Charleston may be guilty of treason, but does
8 not an impartial judgment declare that Cleveland
is guilty Of an infinitely greater treasoni That il
IS it be treason for Charleston to trampls on the Uni
ted States laws in Carolina, it is most unouestiona
bly, treason for Cleveland to trample on the law,
of Jehovah in Ohio?
