THE ANTI-SLA
VKUY RUGLE.
tation of tho arrival of a son-in-law of tlio Judge,
who was to bo the agent in carrying her lioek to
slavery. A lung exper'once in tha habits of slate
owners, slaTCcatchcrs, and their apologists, 1ms
satisfied me that neither tlio word nor tlio oath of
such is to be believed in any case where tha free
dom of a human being is at stake. Ho may how"
ever bo innocent in this regard, and wo need
hold liiiii only to that which is admitted. The plea
that Luanda became so fiendish, the family wore
afraid of their lives on her account, 1ms a tery sus
picious look in connection with her admitted pro
vious good character, and the one she sustained
when I knew her. What but tlio treatment she
was tucciviiig, transformed the gentle nurso into a
fiend, admitting this report of her to be true ? Mr.
Harlan says "one night this girl left and Mrs.
McLean was happily released." I con testify if
this bo bo, that to all appenranco the joy at the
separation was mutual. Singular, however, it
seems, that tlio Judgo nnd his family should have
endured tho perils of their situation for a moment'
when the remedy would hato been so easy, by
ending Luoinda away, without compelling her to
resort to the painful measure of slipping down a
rope, as a part of tho means of her transportation.
The charge of ingratitudo now brought against
lier for merely claiming her natural rights, evin
ces the animus of the accusing party. Tho at
tempt to blacken her character adds nothing to the
presumption of innocence in her accuser, in the
minds of thoso who have impartially observed the
various means employed by tho oppressors to con
tinue their domination over this long suffering
people. The defence which has been put in goes
far towards corroborating the girl's whole story.
I take no pleasure in holding the conduct of
Judge McLean up to the publio as meriting repro
bation. His official character as I'ost Master Gen-
'oral inspirod mo with a regard for him which I
'should greatly liavo preferred should have remain
ed unimpaired. But justice is due to tho weak,
and the oppressed, as much as to tho influential,
and the popular, and especially docs the cause of
Freedom require that all violations of human
rights shall bo remembered against their perpetra
tors. To mo, nnd to tho slave, by whoso sido I dc
ire ever to stand, it can mako no possiblo differ
ence whether John McLean docs, or does not, re
ceive the nomination of tho Republicans for the
Presidency, but in the education of tho American
people into tho possession of a conscience which
ball render slavcholding impossible), it is highly
important that the personal connection of nil dis.
tinguished characters with the Bin of slavery shall
be publicly and persevoringly proclaimed.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS;
LAWRENCE UNDER MARTIAL LAW—
MILITARY ENFORCING THE
BLOODY CODE.
"Tho Westport correspondent of tho St. Louis
Republican, telegraphs that Dr. McKee, Sheriff
UonkV physician, wroto to him on the 2Glh ol
April, that the patient would recover. No fear
was entertained that tha wound would prove fatal,
and Jones was resting easy.
"Colonel Sumner arrived at Lawrence on the
25th, with his wholo command, nnd threatened
terrible vengeanco against thoso who had fired
into the tent of his Lieutenant. IIo was very stern
it his boaring and demands, nnd expressed a deter
mination to reduce tho people to obedience. Roin.s
bos and Keeder charged the act on the pro-slavery
party, and maintained that they had instigated
every act or vio!enc. Colonel si'mner 6aut that
the charge was utterly false, and that if Governor
Shannon would leave the whole matter to him, he
could very quickly settle it, and teach the restless
and headstrong people a salutary lesson.
LATER.
"The correspondent of tho Si. Louis Democrat
writes that, on the 25th of April Sheriff Jones was
removod from Lawrence to Franklin. Ho was
accompanied by Stringfcllow and Whitfield, who
pretend luat tucy Unro not stay in .Lawrence ;
though the town wns in the possession of troops
ont there to force the free State mon to obey the
laws passed by their Legislature 1
A CUNNING TRICK,
Stringfcllow went before tho Congressional Com
mitteo of Investigation, nnd demanded the privilege
of procuring counsel and examining certain wit
nesses in relation to tho commencement of the
Kansas troubles. Mr. Howard, Chairman of tho
'Committco, said that it would be impossible to
; grant such a strango request, as the oliiect tor
'which the Committee camo, was, not to establish
an inquisition, but to examine tlio condition of
affairs, and to investigate the alleged election
' frauds. There was no time for delay ; nnd if tho
'Committee constituted itsolf a Court of inquisition,
-it would defeat the object of its mission, without
'making any progress whatever in the business.
MARTIAL LAW.
"Another correspondent of the Democrat writos
'under date of the 20th, that Sam. Lnttus. Dumitv
Sheriff of Douglas county, has prepared writs for
the arrest of more than one hundred citizens of
Lawrence, charged with disobeying tho territorial
laws. A military forco will be kept at Lawrcnco
til. all the proposed arrests are made, and till the
prisoners are conveyed to Lecompton, w here they
are to be confined till their trial. Colonel Sumner
has declared that ha will, at all hazards, reduce

INCIDENT IN THE SENATE.
The Washington Correspondent of the New
York Examiner, a religious weekly published in
New York, gives the following curious story of a
recent incident in tha Scnato :
"Nor is this tho only instance of getting up a
reputation in the Senate by tho learning of others.
An amusing instance ot tins sort occurrod no lon
ger ago than Wednesday last, when Mr. Jones of
lowa mado lus 'maiden speech,' which ho was al
lowed to make, in reply to Mr. Harlan's speech,
entirely out of order, but inasmuch as it was his
maiden speech, and ho wanted to mako it then,
the Sen.ito graciously granted his request. Tho
Hon. Senator cot on very well with read ins tho
speech at first, but soon it was apparent he could
wl read his own handwriting. Tho manuscript
was very nau, and at tunes tlio senator was quito
unablo to make out what it was. This recurring
so often, excited tho surpriso of Senators, when
soon it was whispered about that tho Bpecch wns
not his own, but'thq Rev. Mr. Davis's, the Senate
Chaplain from Iowa, who was brought hero by
Mr. Jones, probnbly to do him this very service.
Tlio Senate Chaplain stood behind tho chair of the
President of tho Senate, in great trepidation at
tho halting manner in which Mr. Senator Jones
wns getting on with his speech.
Ono of the Senators who was let into tho secret
cf tho paternity of this speech, went behind the
chair of tho President, nnd coming up to the Rev.
clergyman, said to him: 'How iB it, Mr. Davis, you
allow your Senator and friend to make himself so
supremely ridiculous by such a speech as he is
now delivering?' The Rev. Chaplain, reddening
up to tho hair, stammered out: 'What have I to
do with Mr, Jouo's speech I I don't see him very
often 1' "
A Ciu-Rcn Militant in A nvsiNNiA, The fol
lowing is from the Triesto Zeitung, of tho 7th of
April:
"A Christian by the namo of Theodoms has
conquered tlio Kingdom of Abysinnia and nbolish
ed polygamy and slavery. A letter from a protest
ant missionary, Dr. Krapf, confirms this news
and adds, that all foreign missionaries have been
exiled by him. Only tho Roman Catholic mis
sionaries, who had possessed great influence in
this country, had been exiled. They were the
objects of general dislike among tho population,
whom they insist upon baptising again, (though
christians for over 1500 years) and the native
priests also were required to bo baptised. The
protostant missionaries have great confidence in
this Theodoms, (if wo are not mistaken tho Impe
rial Austrian Consul in Chartum, Dr. von Henglin
is personally acquainted with him.) He is mod
erate in eating and drinking, and has but one
wuo ; no is pious, attentive at church and 13 very
charitable towards tho poor, priests, usonks and
strangers. lie is a brave soldier, prepares himself
tlio plan ot the battle, nnd alter, oiten rushes,
personally, into tho thick of the fight with his
Abolitionism in the East. Tho Trosse d'Ori
ent of Constantinople, says: "An event of a cer
tain ucgreo of gravity has taken place at Amasia.
A slave brought into the town from tho frontiers
of Georgia wns incarcerated in tho village of
kouizkeui, occupied by Circassians. Tho slave
was a Christian of tho Armenian church. The
bishop of that church demanded that he should bo
s't at liberty, but this was refused except on pay
ment ot a sum of money. After a good deal of
discussion, tho bishop, seeing that thcro was no
other moans of -Heeling his release, paid ,C50
sterling, nnd tho slave was given up to him The
prelate then appealed to the members of his church
to contributo the sum which ho had paid, so as to
emancipate tho slave; but thev refused, on tho
ground that slavery is abolished in Turkvy. We
are assured that a foreign consul has demanded
tho slave from tho Pasha of Amasia, and has also
demanded that the man who sld him shall bo
punished. One erf the Austrian Lloyd's eteanieis
which recently left Constantinople, had on board a
female slavo sent to Samsoun. Tho proprietor
of tho slavo presented himself to demand her, but
she refused to disembark, saying that slavery is
abolished, nnd that she meant to remain free. As
he persisted in her resolution bIio was carried
buck in tho steamer to Constantinople."
Dr. Bi.edsoe, of tho University of Virginia, has
published a volumeon Slavery. lie contends that
tho sciipturnl injunction, "servants, obey your
masters," implies a corresponding right in the mas
ter to the services of tho servant therefore Slave
ry is right. As tho Now Testament says "do good
to them which hato you," the doctor no doubt con
siders it right to hato good Christians. As it is
also commanded to "Bless them that curse you, and
pray for them that dospitefully use you" "unto
him that smiteth thee on one cheek, offer also the
other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid
not to take thy coat also." The receiving a blow
on one cheek makes it a Christian duty to tender
tho other; this necessarily implies a right to 6trike
again and the fact that a thief has despoiled you
your cloak gives him aright ("n divino right
according to Dr. B.) to your coat nlso. Such logic
taught by a professor of Mathematics in tho
university of Virginia!
The Issue. Tho Now Orleans Bulletin, the chief
commercial and political journal of that city, and
supporter cf tho Filluioro ticket, says of tho
campaign :
"The man is as blind as a bat, and hopelessly
stupid who does not vee that there is one overshad
owing question which overwhelms and swallows
up all other secondary issues; the fundamental and
vital quest ion of slavery, lilink at it as we may.
complicate or confuso it as much as possiblo, the
fact cannot bo disguised, that slavery is the one real
element of party divisions, and to organlxe a party
with the expectation that the members of it North
and South would unite and harmonizo Upon this
main point ot dispute, is only short ot moou-struck
madness."
Confessing: the Truth. In the St. Lsuis Re
publican, of April 30th, there was a lottor from a
Westport correspondent, from which we make an
extract for the gratification of our Democratic
it must be born in mind that Westport
in Missouri, nnd its citizens have no more right
lioia oiuco in Kansas, than mtizens ot Cleveland
have to hold office uudorthegovornmentof Indiana.
correspondent says: "Gen. Whitfield seut a
dispatch by an express ridor to Col. Boone, of this
place. The latter received it this morning early,
and immediately left in a hack for Lawrence, with
Mr. Jones, the wilo or the unfortunate sbontr. It
sincerely hoped that she will got there bofore
the brave fellow dies." And this, is the Democrat
ic sheriff who was sent by a Domocrulio governor
make arrests in Kansas!

CASTE.
Whilo many of tho free StatC9 have enacted
shameful nnd brutal laws, under the influcnco of
the stunt of caste, it has been remarked that JVow
Enirlaud wns uu execution in this matter. But
this is not true. Connecticut, no longer ago thnn
last year, refused to amend her Constitution so
that tho dusky descendants of soldiers in tho con
tincntal army miirht be rccouniscd as voters. Mas
sachusetts has tho honour of possessing much
cleaner statuto books; nnd last year tho Legislature
lorccd jsoston to rccogmso our Common school
system as eommon.and put an end to casto schools.
Still, there is in Boston a too frequent exhibition
of this menu prejudice. If Boston does not de
scend to the level of Now York and eject from the
omnibusses men of Inch chnracter like tho Rev.
Dr. Pennington, there nro still among us people
who see nothing unchristian in sucli acts, loll
lustrato this matter. Only a day or two since, a
coloured gin, ot this city, and hor sister, lrom an
other town, seated thempelvcs at a tnblo in a con
foctbnnry saloon in Court street, nnd proceeded to
order some refreshments, when they wero scorn
fully informed that they would not bo wnitcd upon
and tho girls were constrained to leave tho place
with suppressed indignation, while tho insolent
spirit ot tho whito scorners glowed on their laces
in ugly wrinkles of contempt for "niggers." It
may bo ndded that tho girls in question are nearly
white; that llioir characters and manners nro irre
proachable. They nro both highly respectable
members of n church in this city. Those who, in
this case, despised nnd insulted them are their in
feriors. At this samo placo the colored penplo of
uoston buy annually some thirty or lorty dollars
worth of confectionary for their Fair; and Mrs. C,
a colored confectioner of Belfast, Mc, buys three
or four hundred dollars worth of confectionary
yearly cif this same Court street confectioner.

FEMALE RIOT IN CATTARAUGUS COUNTY
The Jamestown (New York) Journal gives the
particulars of a novel riot which occurred at East
Randolph, in Cattaraugus county, on Fiiday
evening.tho 11th inst. A party of the most respect
able ladies of tho place had assembled at a 'sur
priso party," at tho rcsidenco of Hon. Benjamin
Chamberlain, -when it was suggested that a tavern
kept by a man named Wheeler was an intolerable
nuisance, by reason of tho liquor dispensed there
and they resolved to abato it.
Bofore they arrived at the place of attack, tho
landlord, having got wind of the movement, had
secreted his lipuors and barricaded his doors, his
wile had provided a rupIv of hot water, to irii-o ttm
assailants a warm bath. Nothing daunted, the
feminine stormors broko open tho door.and nl-
tiiougn mo tomes ot not water did some execution
rushed upon tho foe. The landlord took refuge in
tin garret, but he was bound, and taken toward
toe creeK to be converted into a "cold-waterman'
by dipping, but ho finally succeeded in breaking
his bonds nnd escaping.
The women then returned to his houso nnd de
molished his iucs nnd casks of lionnr. nnd ln win.
dows, and were about to make a similar onslaught
upon two other establishments, when the enemy
saved themselves by a capitulation. Tho women
justify themselves for resorting to these extreme
measures on the ground that the landlord contin
ued to sell to tho brutalized husbands of a portion
of them, despite of entreaties, and that they could
obtain no other redress.

Upon tho undersigned devolves the pleasant duty
of inviting friends of Truth, Purity nnd Progress,
without distinction of sect or name or nation, to

T?ie Progressive Friends have no creed as the
basis of association. Their object is not to build
up a Sect, armed with ecclesiastical power, and en

fogical opinion, in one spirit or love, to "do good
unto all men as they havo opportunity;" to culti
vate in themselves whatsoever is pure, generous,
and ennobling; to worship God in tho service of
Humanity; to investigate tlnso questions of indi
vidual and locial duty, which the experiences of
daily lifo and tho conflict of sects, parties, classes,
and nationalities, aro perpetually evolving; to
vindicate the primordial rights of man, and plead
the causo of the poor, tho ignorant, tho degraded,
and tho oppressed; to testify against those systems
of popular wickedness which derive thoir support
from a false Church and a corrupt Government; to
promote tho causo of "pure and undufiled religion,"

CLEVELAND WOOL DEfOT.
THERE is no longer a question, or a doubt in
tho minds of those who nro best acquainted with
the advantages tho Cleveland Wool Depot offers for
tho sulo of Wools, of its importance aud practica
bility.
.Located, ns it if, at the outlet of the ereat wojI-
growingWest, boing of easy access to wool-grow
ers, nnd merchants, aud within twenty-four hour s
ride of the most distant manufactories of New
England, it posscses great advantages.
Manufacturers (excepting those who aro engaged
as speculators in wools,) speak in the highest terms
of this system, nnd tho many satisfactt ry letters wo
ore receiving lrom our wool-growing frionds, have
stitulated us to increase our cffoits to make this
house what it should bo a safe nnd reliable chan
nel for tho sale of their wools. It has surmounted
all tho difficulties and oppositions that could well
he brought against any cnte.-priso by a class of
speculators opposed to it, nnd it now lias more
and stronger recommendations than ever. We
havo spared no pains nor expense iu making am
ple arrangements for all who may wish to nvail
themselves of the advantages arising from this
manner of grading and soiling wools. Merchants,
and wool-growers, who wish to realize on their
wools, on delivery at our Depot, can be acccommo
datcd with liberal advances. If desired, sacks
will be sent as heretofore to those wishing to send
us their wool, and WOOL TWINE for tying op
fleeces, will bo furnished at from 13 to 20 cents per
pound.
When several in ono neighborhood wish us to
forward sacks or twine, we prefer sending to one
address. Our customers in Illinois, and the West
ern States, will find that ordering sacks from us
will snve them much trouble, and insure the safe
anivnl of the wool here, as our sacks are all num
bered, and stamped 'Cleveland Wool Depot,' and
after being filled by consignors, will require no
other marks.
We hope for a liberal patronage, our charges arc
low for handling and selling, nnd we promise our
employers that our individed attention shall be
doveted to their interest.
Very Respectfully, GOO DALE tc CO
