Ilatlcn Intervention.
Tho non-intervention of Fillmore, Webster
and Co., is placed in rather an awkward posi
tion, by the disclosure- of a recent correspon
dence, In rrgnrd to Ilnytt. It seems from this
correspondence, that a lcoguo was entered into
between the government of Great Britain,
Franco and the U. SUtcs, to compel a peace bo
tween tho Emperor Suloquo and his revolted
subjects, tho Dominicans. That is, they resolv
ed to do it, if it could bo dono by playing tho
bully, without actually coming to blows. Our
own government, probably, engaged in this tri
angular alliance, as a flno strokoof electioneer
ing policy, and to humblo a negro empire and
i's ruler. What wcro the motives vt tho other
parties, wo know not. W'e only know that tho
black Emperor was moro than a match for tho
combined diplomatists. Their threats failed to
extort any plo.lge of ocquicsccnco in their plan.
ltut tho Executive, who thus attempted in
tervention with a comparatively weak neighbor,
and one it bad always treated with indignity, is
tho tamo whose patriotic virtuo would not per
mit it to givo the least countenance to Kossuth
or bis plans, and brought forth the decided non
intervention cf tho late message. Ic shows that
slavery, tho dominant power, and Mr. Fillmore
its creature, nro opposed to intervention when a
powerful Euiopcsn government is in quostion,
and tho security of slavery will thereby bo
damaged ; but actively in favor, whon the in
terests of slavery can bo advanced, and Amcri
con hatred and jealousy thereby gratified.
Free Trade.
Tho British people have triumphed over con
servatism, and won oven aristocracy to their
side. Frco Trade is now tho popular idea in
England. Ten years ego ho w as akin to a
madman w ho proclaimed this sentiment. This is
the remit of agitation, and of circumstances
which havo brought tho world into nearer
neighborhood, and closer relationship of inte
rest. Next door neighbors w ant frco trado as
free speech, and they will havo it. Frco trade,
if we must have trade at all, is tho true doc-
ttinc, if all men arc brethren, Patriotism may
f! mri.h on turilf., but fraternity aks tho frco
circulation of knowledge, and all the means of
comfort, improvement ar.d happiness, each
member of tho world's fraternity contributing,
freely contributing and freely receiving. Our
country must follow in tho trninof England.
It cannot bo otherwise, now that tiino and spaco
arc so reduced between us, and our intcrosU so
inseparably blended. On tho 22d ult., in the
British houso of commons, Lord l'almcrston
moved tho following resolution, which was
adopted, by a volo of 438 to S3 :
It is tho opinion of this House, that tho
improved condition of tho country, and especi
ally of tho induatiial classes, is mainly tho re
sult of tho recent legislation, which has estab
lished tho principle of unrestricted competition,
snd has abandoned tho taxes imposed for tho
purpose of protection. That it is tho opinion
of this llouto that this policy followed, main
tained und prudently extended, will best enablo
tho industry of tho country to bear its burthens,
ond thorcby ossuredly promote tho wcll'aro and
contentment of tho people. That this Houso
is ready to tako into its considcrotion any moas
uro consistent w ith theso principles, which in
pursuunco of ller Majesty's speech mado before
them may bo offered by Her Majesty's Minii
tcrs." Unhealthy Political Ohoani7atiox. Mr.
Bright, U. S. Senator from Indians, was select
ed as the tool of tho south to unnounco tho
prnscriptivo resolution cf their caucus in regard
to tho Senatorial Committees. In making up
these committees, tho majority in all cases was
given to tho Democrats, and tho Frco Soil
members entirely excluded from service. Tho
reason assigned, was that they belonged to "an
unheahhj political organization." Mr. Halo
emtio forward wilh somo of his clever, good
naturcd hits, and Mr. Chase spoke to tho point,
but tho gravo senatorial Doctors pronounced
Free Soil unhealthy, resolved that it should not
lcove quarantine yet. Thry do not announce
tho present state of Vhig health, perhaps bo
causo they havo adopted Mr. Orcclcy's opinion
that it lias paid tho final debt of naturo.

"The Superiority of Moral over Political
Action."
!
i
'On Tuesday the day of election, w e par
ted company w ith Mr. Pillsbury in Cleveland,
he Ihero taking the cars for llufl'uln, on bis
way to his home in New Hampshire. For
three months past, he lia labored with us
moist ardently and cfl'eclively to present what
wo consider tho best means fur tho abolition
of slavery and at no limn since the organi
zation of tho Western A. H. Society, bos
such laltor beon moro needed, or moro suc
cessfully bestowed. Tho general delirium
consequent upon a Presidential election,
makes it necessary lor us to stand firm and
unwavering, that some evidence may be giv
en that correct principles nro potent to stis-
tain us against the seductive influence of
politics and politicians, even though in a
crisis of theirs, they most earnestly implore
our aid. The superiority of moral over poli
tical action for the furtherance of moral re
forms, Mr. rillsbury has most happily shown,
as all can testily who have been permitted
to listen to his lectures; nml through evil
report and good report, uninfluenced by the
antithnmns, censures or complaints of reli
gious or political enemies, or tho defection
of fidso brethren, be has borne our banner
triumphantly aloli, without concealment and
without compromise, proclaiming, "No
I'nion w ith Slaveholders ill Chin ch or State."
Hiigte.
In rending over tho ,1nli-Slavery Ihtgle,
and similar prints, we find much that is gen
uine, instructive, nml to the point; much to
cheer und strengthen us in our humblo eu
ileu vol s to promote the abolition of sluvcry
the freedom and advancement f our race.
And we are thankful that such prints exist,
Neverthele ss, their conductors must pnrdon
us a word of friendly criticism. We venture
to question the soundness of one of their fu-
vorito doctrines, I. c, "the $uperiority of mor
al over political action." This doctrine seems
to be almost a necessity, from the position of
thoso who belicvo in the non-voting tlaory.
To maintain that they are the most effective
opponents of shivery, they must show that
refusing to voto does something to increase
their moral power) and that this addition
gives them a clear superiority over them tlmt
vote. Now we deny thnt this ullegcd supe
riority is well rounded, in any such sense as
the Jingle and its friends use it. We sup
pose by moral action is meant appeals to the
understandings und hearts of men, by means
of the press and the lecturer. Well, let us
take two men equally endowed w ith powers
of mind, equally eloquent, equally honetl, anil
cqtiully devoted to the dissemination of truth
on the subject of slavery, and the one believes
that it is his duty lo vote, ncconling to his
nuti-sluvcry convictions, and dots to; while
ulber believes it to ho wrong for him lo
vote according lo his anti-slavery convictions,
mid bo does not do so. Wo beg to know
wherein thu latter is superior to tho former.
Viewed from this point, the fiihiey of the
Hugh's doctrine is very plainly seen. We
uro wholly unable to see that auli-sluvery
preaching by a non-voter is likely to be any
more effective in turning men lo auti-sluvery
righteousness, than tho same preaching by
nu auli-sluvery voter.
If it be contended there is presumptive
evidence that a man is sucking place nml
power because be votes, and that, therefore,
bis tnorul influence is less w ith the people.
The answer is tlmt a large drnw back here
on tho voter would still leave him even with
the non-voter, fur the reason that most men
easily see lliut slavery could never lie abol
ished in this country by law, consistently
with the non-voting theory.
In saying this we would not bo understood
as denying that our non-voting friends uro
doing much good, nor would we nl all ques
tion the ffiicicncy of Mr. I'illsbmy ' labors.
F. Duvglaia' Paper.
W'o not only "pardon the friendly criti
cism," but very cheerfully givo our read
ers the benefit of it. It will, perhaps, bo of
little profit to tho critic or oursclf, that we
should contend about tho superiority of our
respectivo measures. Better that with Ins
might, each ono should do whatsoever his hand
flndcth to do, and in the way that to him is
best. In as much as tho honest, faithful doing
of what seems right, is one of tho best means
of knowing whut is right. Nevcithelcss, wo
feel disposed to give an equivalent in kind, for
the criticism.
Tho critic thinks our uoctrino " almost a ne
cessity from our position." This criticism is
not a vory fluttering ono. This however is no
ovidenco that itis not most friendly. In our
viow, tho causo and effect is revorsed. Our
potition it abtatutelij a neceuity from our doctrine.
Time was when almost all non-voters, woro
voters. Their changed position was the direct
and necessary result of a change of opinion.
Tho objectionable paragraph of our correspon
dent asserts " tho superiority of moral over po
litical action, for tho furtherance of mural re
forms." Docs tho criticism design to assert,
that politicul action is superior to morul, for
moral purposes i Hardly, wo think, and yet
this is what its languago seems to mean. If
not, is it, thot mixed action moral and politi
cul is boat ) answer, that depends upon
circumstances. If tho political action is in
harmony with the moral, it may bo an inciden
ts aid, otherwise a hindrance
But admitting what wo supposo the critio
would affirm, that slavery is a mixed evil, and
that therefore a mixed remedy may be tho truo
ouo, still we must insist that the constituents
be in harmony with each other and with the
objoat, moral reform." Though in point of
fact political action is not always a necessary
means of the removal of political evil. We
I have sxsinpl in this and o'.hor countries that
long standing nd thoroughly fortified wrongs,
moral and political, (even slavery itself,) have
been romoved without direct political action.
Witness the numerous iniqitous . laws thnt
stand Upon tho statuto books of various coun
tries, Imt which novcr are and novcr can be exe
cuted. We aro among thoso willing to employ
every rightful instrumentality. Let it be re
' numbered that our objection in not to voting,
but to voting under such circumstances as to givo
i d jiect support to tho evil wo would remove, or
! to hinder tho cflicacy of other instrumentalities.
Wo do not ico as clearly as Mr. Douglass, the
i fallacy of our position," from tho point ho
deii -nntes. Ho says, tuke two men otherwise
' equal, the ono a voter, tho other a non-voter,
J and where is tho moral superiority of tho latter ?
' Wc answer, that depends upon tho character of
his vote. If the voto east be in conflict with the
preaching of tho voter, tho latter has the supe
rior position for influence. For however littlo
men practice consistency, they aro ever ready
lo scizo upon its opposite, to shield themselves
from tho shafts of truth.
The real practical question, however, is not
whether s:iti-slavery voting and preaching ore
harmonious and helpful to each other. We think
! they are. But the cliltlculty is, wo havo had
I no chance to cat an anti-slavery vote. Ar.d
vote with them. Abstainanco from voting
wilh them, wo think docs really placo us in a
superior position for influonco by anti-sluvery
preaching. The frco soil voto has heretofore
been iiiciitetitaUi anti-slavery, and jMiiticehj pro
slavery. If they givo us, as they often have,
anti-slnvcry men to voto for, wo are obliged to
spit upon their platform." If non-voters had
been able even to havo originated so bright an
idea, tho result of tho recent whig cxpeiiment
would quite have discouraged them in regard
to its futuro uso. Wcsartho frco soil ro is
positively proslavcry. Mind wo don't speak of
intentions : theso may bo, and arc of tho purest
character, nor of their preaching. That is a
littlo mixed, sometimes positively and thor
oughly onti slavery and sometimes otherwise.
But we aro talking of their role. What is it
It has been lor the removal of slavery at a fu
ture period, when it could bs incidentally ro
moved by circumscribing and limiting it. Let
tho yoko remain within tho Slates, has been its
language.
Moral action says, Break every yoke. It de
mands immediate emancipation. Tho vote soys
No more slave states, admitting that wo shall
keep w hat wo have, except as they aro inciden
tally removed. Positive anti-sluvcry says no
slave states. Tho vote says no more slave ter
ritory. Moral action says wo slave territory.
Tho vote says, rendition shall bo left to tho
States Miral action says no rendition. Tho
voto gives a quiet acquiescence in the slave
representation, of tho constitutution, thus for
tifjing tho power which sustains slavery.
Moral action says, no slaves to bo represented
let tho representation bo that of freemen.
Tho voto says, union, co-operation, fraternity
with slaveholders and that on their own terms.
Moral action says, como out from smomg them
and ba yo separate Tbcy aro men stealers, the
greatest of criminals, bo yo not partakers of
their evil deeds, no, not with the hope of there
by effecting their reformation.
Now if we understand it, these are the votes
that our friend complains that we have not
cast. Wo have no hesitation in atHrminz that
the non-voter's position is moro favorable as a
preacher of anti-sluvcry righteousness, than
that of the equally pcrsuasivo and logical
preacher, who casts such votes. It ncods only
tho statement of tho question to make it appa
rent. Tho drunkard will jeer at tho most pa
thetic appeals and tho plainest rebukes of tho
companion of his cups. So ho w ho is the near
est to cntiro disfellowship with slavery, other
things being equal, will be tho boat anti-slavery
lee tun r.
While, therefore, wo do not deny that a pos
itive anti-slavery voter, may bo as effective
an anti-slavery preacher as his twin brother,
who does not vote, and, if you please, you may
add that he is a moro elfeetivo one : we do
sflirm, that free soil voters work at a wonderful
disadvantage when they undcrtuko to preach
positive anti-slavery. Of that, some of thciu
had cxporienco during tho late campaign w hen
they mot w ilh w higs, brazen enough to steal
and uso tho non-voter's thunder. It seems to
us we had better keep preaching and let voting
alono till wo can get siili-slavcry folks to use
an anti-'tlaccr'j bollot box.
Fugitive Incident.
Tho following from tho Cincinnati Nonpareil,
is but tho history of transactions which must
continuo to occur, so long as slavery is tolcratod.
Our border counties must always be tho theatre
of such affrays. Tho question is beautifully
settled by the compromise hunker speeches,
and the President's message. What an effectivo
instrument of Vuion is this syjtem.
Says tho Nonpareil t
Wo learn that on Wednesday night, about
half past nino o'clock, three fugitive slaves,
husband, w ifo, and child, wcro diseovorcd near
tho Little Miami Railroad Depot, anxiously
enquiring the time of starting of the cars.
Thry were immediately suspected, and some
individuals seized them and confined them in a
small coffee houso near at hand kept by a Ger
man. Arrangements wore then mado to oonvoy
tho fugitives across tho river, into slave territory,
by means of a skiff w hich had been procured
for that purpose. Under tho charge of three
stout men, the man, wifo and child were taken
out of the house into tho street. A vory short
space had been traversed by tho party, whon
suocor for tho slaves appeared, and the three
mon in charge wcro unceremoniously knocked
down, the fugitives taken from them, tiie assail
ing party escaped to parts unknown, and the
slaves are probably now in Canada.

Letter from New Hampshire.
CONCORD, N. H. Dec, 15th, 1852.
Deaii Marii-s i You wero pleased to speak
favorably of my humblo contributions to your
peerless little paper, a week or two since, for
which, accept my thanks. I wish the compli
ment wero better deserved. My connexion
with the Bugle, is the connecting link between
me and you, and all my Western friends, whilo
away hero in tho blosk region of wintry New
England. I would not sever it for any price.
The experiences of tho Field Hands' in the
Anti-Slavery scrvico are somewhat worth ro
eording could we deseriho them as Ihey arc
But you know it is often said, we cannot de
scribe Slaveut as it is" so it might with
equal force be added, no moro can wo describo
Anti-Slaeery a it it.
One thing has of lato struck me most forcibly,
and that Is, the effect which the late election has
had on large numbers of our most earnest, and
hitherto uncompromising abolitionists. In
many places, almost all went to tho polls.
This would bo tho less lamentable, wcro it not
that it has sot so many of them to deploring
our extreme, and, (ns they now say), iaipracti
eabfe positions and doctrines on tho ono hand,
and to apologizing for the church and ministry
on tho other. And some havo even returned
to tho old communions, w hero tho body and
blood of slaves aro sw allowed, indirectly utlcnt,
in tho sacraments And I think our newspaper
Subscription Lists and Treasury Contributions
must sutler materially as a further consequence.
While far the greater part of tho priesthood of
tho nation aro exalting tho name of Daniel
Webster to glory and honor co-equal with Oa
bticl, if not w ith tho Almighty himself, it seems
most inappropriate that our standard should
droop, or the force of our protests and rebukes
be abated.
Do you think tho audacity of our clergy was
over equalled ? It strikes one almost dumb
with admiration. While Daniel Wchster's po
litical profligacies nro written in our govern
mental history on almost every page, he having
been on every side of every great question, we
aro solemnly exhorted to regard him as a pat
tern politician, worthy of all acceptation and
all imitation.
While not one single new measure, doetrino
or policy ever adopted by the government, good
or bad, owes its origin to him, ns a statesman,
as tho chicfest among ten thousand, if not the
ono altogether lovely.
Whilo his private and personal vices and de
baucheries havo bocn notorious fir yeors, toM
of by the indifferent, proclaimed and condcnied
by his foes, apologized for by his friends, and
believed in by almost every body, wo nro now
most confidently assured, that in meekness, ho
was a Mosts j in purity, a Joseph ; in rnpt
devotion, an Isaiah ; in christian xeul and
knowledge, another "Puul the Apostle;" and
in heavenly amiability and sweetness of spirit,
a rival of John, "the uitciple tcham Jctut loved."
Was thcro ever such blasphemy sgainst tho
Holy (J host, as aro many, nay multitudes of the
sermons snd pulpit panegyrics that oro now
stunning tho nation, in glorification and dedi
cation of that most w retched man I Can these
Hevcrend rcvilcrs of all truth and goodness
expect tho community will stultify itself down
to so pirpostcrous, so glaring and monstrous
ubsurdities as these I They may expect all this.
But when tho peoplo do crawl down to such
degradation, they may bo sure they aro of thoso
lo whom "Cod AnA tent ttrong delusion to be
lievo a lio, that they all may bo damned."
But tho multitudes of clear seeing, and truo
hearted men and women in the North, East ond
West, cannot bo thus blindly led. They scorn
such dishonesty, and despise thoso who practice
it.
Daniel Webster w as tho self-styled, ond ev
erywhere proclaimed "AviWorof tho Union."
And his means and condition of Salvation, wero
tho execution of the Compromises, especially
the Fugitive Law, " to tho fullest extent lo tA
fullett extent." But is tho Law executed. Ask
tho liescucrs of Shadrach in Boston. Not a
man of them is harmed. Of Jerry at Syracuse.
They even surrender themselves for trial, and
bid tho government defiance. Whilo at tho
samo time, tho blood of Christiana cries una
venged, the slave is safe in Canada, ond the
Kidnapper and his son nro both rotting in dis
honorable graves, and not a hair of any man's
head who sent them there, has perished. Cull
you this salvation ? If so, it must bo by fuith.
It is surely not of works, that any man can
boast of works under the Webster Covenant.
In the West, and near whero we hold a Con
vention, lives a Whig, a Webster Whig, and a
most zealous decluiincr in favor of the Com
promisesa conductor on the underground

ono Saturday night to test his position. Ho
represented himself as a sluvo catcher, and ap
plied to him for assistance, the good whig
declined. Nor could he be fluttered nor bribed,
Atlongth lio offered him five hundred dollars
in cash, if he would see him and his four slaves
safo across tho Ohio into Virginia. With gen
uino whig devotion, and in truo Democratic
dialect, he said to him, "Q go to hell with your
fivo hundred dollars."
Then the man told him who and what he
was. This altered tho case. The doors wcro
thrown open, both of houso and heart. The
' train" was securely concealed and safely kept
over Sunday; and on Sunday night, in truo
"Senator Bird" stylo and spirit, that Judas of
a Whig, betrayed hia Southorn master, and de
livsrod tho slaves into tho hands of British au
thority, without not only fivo hundred dollars,
but cvon thirty pieces of Silver,
And all over tho West, such whigs abound.
And tho Democratic party are not ono w hit bet

trust them moment. Nearly all of them have
tock in the subterranean Railroad, and will
drive 111 the business they can, 1 thi be Mr.

Letter from Hitty Lane.
Dsah Ma. Been i I've bin to deffput bfhf
of late glttin' ready for winter, that l'vo hardly
kep up with the times in religion and politics,
which you know fro hand in hnnd now days f
but scein" Senator C'uMiia's bill to prevent thsj
further settlement of freo niggers and mulattoo
in your state, I've left everything in the suds lo
givo you my opinion on the bearin these mess-'
ures, especially the 7th article, will be likely to
havo on the progress of your free principle
among tho less enlightened nations of ths earth.
Since the passage of the fugitive slave law,
l'vo heerd that several of your church christ
ians, believed, judgin' from the wonderful ac
cessions to their numbers, in tho United States,
that the Millennium wns near st hand. Prob
ably it can now bo flxt to a sartinty, On and
nftcr tho first of Jan. ISO's," when free nigger
and mulattocs shall no longer be allow') 'to sot
up their unconstitutional claims to any of th
benefits, blessings, and products of that part of
Ond's heritage included within tho limits of
Ohio. Well you sec if every other state shall
propose and adoi t the samo plan, (which is
equally their right,) freo nigger christians will
all become government missionaries to foreign
lands.
Not wishin to have their tnlents buried in
jail for tho term of from six to twelve months,
and not allowed to remain over nino days in
any stale, they will constitute the roost ex ton.
hive, and perfect system ol ilincrancy ever es
tablished in tho world. Woe to them if they
turn back from their mission. Ycrily they will
havo their pari, if not in a lake of fire and
brimstone, in a real bona fido hell of blood
hounds, revolvers, and bowic-knivc, under the
control of experienced, soul-destroying demons.
Thus If annexation continues to furnish addi
tional territory to your already extensive, world
renowned land of liberty, your sooty missiona
ries w ill bo propelled on by the same glorious
law of repulsion, until tho wholo world shall
hear their message, and receive ths express ilia
initiations from the very nucleus of millennial
light. Dosr me 1 what a great country yours
must be I Sich expansive ideas) Wo have
nothing in comparison in Sumurin. The people
here are so retarded by the notions of a way
faring man who travelled here many hundred
years ago, and taught them that they must
love th?ir neighbors as themselves ; must lore
even their enemies, and do good to alb Tina
peculiar idea has prevented their driving out
missionaries ; tho' 'tis said that our religion ia
very consolin' to poor, wcuk, and ulilictcd peo
ple ; but not at all adapted to the wants of the
rich and powerful. ' ' '' " ' '
Now do tell mo Mr. Bugle, tbcy say your
trim in wont to vote, and help make laws ; and
you see l'vo tho't may be If they could, thcro'd
bo less fightin', scein' thry wouldn't want thoir
dear busbnns and sons killed in bntllc, gittin"
glory and honor for their ginerals. But to
confet my liviu opinion, I don't believe that
wimin folks have got intellects big enough to
lay out sich plans to convert the world to re
publicanism, und chrUliunity at tho same time,
and all at the expensoof tho missionaries them
selves. There's no mistake Sen. CuaUiu' is a
rcnl cainiiduto for glory, and is bound to bo
elected if ho only gits his black bill thro' the
legisluturo, and assists in savin' tho tuition of
coiorod children, after securin' the taxes on
their parent's property. With sich economisin
law-makcrs, Ohio will bo abundantly ablo to
aid her Eur ipean brothers now strugglin' for
republican freedom, and will becoino as re-'
uowncd for her benevolence, as she now is for
her success in ruUin hogs for the market, or
aspirants for office.

Under-Ground Rail Road—Extension and
Elevation.
A friend in Indiana, sends in his first installw
ment on tho stock proposed at our Inst snniwvr.:
ary, with tho following suggestions i . -
Fitu.NDs: Enclosed I send you $,5. You
will pleaso set mo dow n as a stotkholder ef the
underground rail road company, I wish-this
small investment to be appropriated towards
olovating the track above ground. I think
such an arrangement would onsura fu nun
truvcl. Under present arrangements the under.
Brounu iraca conducts passengers thro" much,
tho safest t but should the plan of the cpmpsny
bo bro't to bear on the peoplo, ciroctually, a
moro clovuted track would bo prcfcrablo ia ev.
cry respect. Would suggest that the old found
ation bo used rock for the new track, for it
will eventually bo adopted by the nation, and
finully by tho world ; as the track on which to
travel and transact all of our domestic, social,
political, religious, and pecuniary affairs And
with a little extension and elevation, might reach
to tho City of the Now Joiusalem, and land us
safely, after a pleasant and profitable journey,
into a higher sphore of human existence, fitted
for ths high and holy duties that will devolve
on us tboro.
Yours tot elevation,
