TI1K ANTI-SLA VHllYriiUGLE. Tmt Woiids from A Trie Man. Francis Jackson of Boston ono of the few unpretending, liberty-loving New Englandors, who incarnates in thif generation the better spirit of the puritans, and the moral heroism of the Massachusetts fa-'there of the RsTolution, writes to an anti slavery meeting of Salem, Mass "I am glad to henr that out potitions, prohibiting slavo hunting and kidnapping in Mossaohu. etts, are being so numerously signed. Hunting fugitive slaves must cease.

Union or no Union, Massachusetts must be brougnt back, at least, to the luve of liberty she started with in '76, when very many of her towns unanimously voted to urge on the Continental Congress to striko for Independence and when that glorious Declaration proclaimed that 'all men areckeated there was ail but universal rejoicing throughout ber borders. Thete were not so many torics in all Massachusetts then, as there are now in State treat, and its few adjoining streets. Senator Seward, in his lute speech at Rome, N. 7. alluding to thatcluss of men among us at the North, says, 'They are within our reach, and within our power our Fathers dealt summarily with them confiscated their estates, and sent them to the British Government, which they had faithfully served.

What do you say, follow -citizens Shall we send the retainers of slavery, whom we detect among ourselves, to the slave States commending them to their patrons for plantations, with an adequate number of slaves Disregarding the self-evident declaration of 1779 repeated in her own Constitution of 1780, that 'all men are born free aud equal' Massachusetts did, in 1788, in the face of those most solemn and truthful declarations, deliberately enter into a conspiracy with the Southern States of the Union to help tbem, and she has actually and constantly helped them enslave millions of innocent persons. Jler glorious declarations for Liberty in 1776 and 1780, and her infamous acts for Slavery ever since 1788, Bhow her inconsistency, her injustice and her cruelty towards that poor, unfortunate, helplesj, and unoffending people. Qod save the fugitive slaves that come within Aer borders, whatever may become of the Common weal ih of Massachusetts 1 Men and Women of Essex, sign tue i-etition, and help to create a public sentiment that will redeem Massachusetts, and make her a fit abode for those, and only thoso, who love liberty, and hate lavery. FRANCIS JACKSON. Governor Cuase's Message.

The Ohio Legislature met on Monday, when the Governor's Message was presented. Like all bis state papars it is a business like document, proceeding without circumlocution to his object, and presenting hie bis views on the subjects discussed with perspicuity and force and accompanied with at least ap parently good reason for bis views and purposes The common school system of tbu State, receives prominent attention, accompanied with sound suggestions fur its improvement. Facts and figures are given illustrating its happy influences, and its support and improvement is earnestly impressed upon the Legislature. The benevolent Institu tions of the State are represented in a highly en coursging condition especially be speaks with nuoh satisfaction of the State Reform Farm Schuol in Fairfield County. He recommends the enlarge meat of the ao-sommidationa in the Penitentiary and also the repeal of the ten per cent, interest law, and makes various important suggestions rel tive to other State matters.

The question of slavery and tho relations of the State and the people ti that question receives no word of attention. The Message contains suggte tions relative to the extradition of fugitives from notoneiword in rogard to the monstrous injustice perpetrated in the past, and hourly liable to repetition, in regard to the rendition of inno. cent persons who have escaped from slavery. The Governor is innocent in this message of all charg es of fanaticism, abolitionism and even republican ism so far as slavery in concerned. He is zeulous for State rights when' they come in question with the Federal Courts on the subject of bank taxation, Here he is not timid in regard to odlision, tut disposed courageously to defend the State Courts at all hazards, while he is utterly oblivious of the fact that our criminal and probate -courts have been treated with contempt and in tuit, their authority overthrown, and the writ of Jtabeai corpue dishonored in their keeping by the arbitrary will of the Federal Courts, in order to re enslave innocent women and childron who have to our State for protection.

Tlie Governor tythes the mint and annia nnd cumin of State rights and justice, but neglects utterly these weightier matters of tho law, and that too wheu -our State has been degraded under his administration to a mere subject province of the slave pow-er; its whole force to be wielded by any kidnapper who for the time chances to be hunting slaves on our soil under the auspices of JudgeLeavitt, Judge McLean or even a kidnapping Commissioner. This looks as though Governor Chase might -not be objeotionable as a candidate of the "oppo eitioo" for the Presidency, or Vice Presidency, even oi Mr. Greely'e accommodating platform. For the Bugle. FIELD NOTES.

There is a good house in which to hold MEETINGS AT FAIRMOUNT, provided the mercury stands at summer beat, but in winter weather it is far from comfortable, as one would na.urally infer from a look at its un plastered sides, its nuked rafters, and broken windows. Wednosday evening, tho 15th, waft the lime appointed lor our first meeting, and when I reached the bouse, I found that the storm had wet she floor, nd the evening wind came in gusts through the open casements. A fire bad just been kindled, the smoke from which was about equally distributed between the insido and outside of the pipe, which, unfortunately (or the comfort of the audience, was so small in size, and so imperfectly coonocted with the stove, that it appeared to have very imperfect idea of the duty that bad been assigned it. I managed to keep myself reasonably warm by the exercise of speaking, and the audi' cnea, gathering closely around the stove listened with attention and apparent interest to what I believe was the first Disunion lecture ever given Ibere. The next evening I was joined by Mr.

Ilowlatid and wa beld a second meeting in the same place, when we had leas rain, less wind, less smoke, and more fiie. To vary the exercises a little, a handful of rowdies who were going as uninvited and unwelcome guests to a newly married couple, gathered on the outside of the house, yelling some, and throwing some stones, wbicb, rattling against the roof and sides of the building reminded one of tbe early days ol the eitorprise when the people were presumed to be far more ignorant in relation to tbe question of slavery than tbey bow are. Those who beard us, beard us gladly, took our rat la witb avidity, and readily signed tbe petition wt presented. a PROSPECTING FOR MEETINGS. When we arrived upon this lecturing ground, we understand that word bad been sent to the Ilisey neighborhood, that we would be oh hand for meetings.

Not hearing anything from there, I Jet out on a voyage of discovery, nhll learned, unfortunately for Our calculations, that no word of our coming had bon received. I left appointments for Hum's Mooting House, and then directed my course to Churchill, in the Wbitacre neighborhood, a place where Miss Wat-kins lectured not long since. But I found that American religion had been revived at Churchill since she was there, converts had been made to Churchianity, and the doors of the Meeting House were barred and bolted against the friends of the slave. Several persons at New Lisbon being desirous of our holding meetings there, I accordingly viaited the town to see what could be done toward obtaining a suitable place in which to gather an audience. The Methodists were about to commence a protracted meeting, and this, with some other reasons will prevent our going there at present, NEW LISD-1N.

If ruins were antiquities, New Lisbon would be a city of American antiquities. It is a saddening sight to behold the many deserted nnd dilapidated buildings which are in tbe town, or its immediate vicinity. Some that were onco vocal witb the sounds of manufacturing industry, are now ns silent as the grave, aud homes, once ruddy with the light of tbo hearth-fire, are now dark, and cheerless, and forsaken. New Lisbon is beautifully, and advantageously situated those who selected its site, were person of taste and judgement. The hills which sur round it are filled with coal and iron, and yet not a single furnace is in blast its water power could be made to produce tens of thousands of dollars annually, and yet is almost wholly idle.

Tte busy hum of factories, and the bright glow of the furnace belong of right to Lisbon, and she will havo tbem too, when the few capitalists, whose narrow and mistaken policy have measurably crip' pled her energies, ehull have passed away, and given place to those who possess the will and the wisdom to.develupe her mineral wealth. and demon strate her manufacturing resourcos, AT ELKTON. At this place, where the Disunion plow first broke ground Ian! year, we found, in spite of rain and mud, quite a number who assembled to bear us on Sunday afternoon, the 19th. They received snid.in appaiently a very kind spirit until the Methodist church was arraigned as one of the allies of slavery. Then a buzz was heard, and the Methodist class leader, Discipline in hand, came to the rescue.

lie read from the Discipline, which, of course, was anything but evidence of the anti slavery character of tho church, and denied with very broad and unsupported assertions tba com plicity of the sect with slavery. And these asscr tions of their leader, I have no doubt weighed far more witb his followers than the testimony we pre. sented of Long, Uosmer, and others who have made themselves acquainted with all tho facts in rehticn to tho slaveholding of border Methodism, more than tbe accumulated evidence to be found in the column of the Northern Independent, a paper which they never saw, and perhaps never before heard of. At tbe close of the afternoon session, the class leader gavo notice of a prayer meeting in the evening, which slightly diminished the num' ber of our auditors at the evening session. Our audience, bowever.was more orderly and attentive than in the afternoon, oven the boys, from some cause or other, behaving much better than they did when Methodism stood upon its defence.

When the prayer meeting was over, some of the more enquiring of tbe brethren came in to bear further what we had to say end when we closed, two or threa manifested some desire to make so. quaintaoce witb the Northern Independent. We were invited to visit Elkton again when the weather was more favorable, nnd were told by some that if they saw more of Disunion leotures, they would like thorn better, and they even seem ed to think that the lectures we bad given were less harsh than those of a year since. On the following Monday and Tuesday evenings we were at HUM'S MEETING HOUSE. which was built by the Wesleyau Methodists, but with tho general understanding that it was to be a free house.

Considering the unfavorable weather, and tbe terrible condition of tbe roads, we bad larger audiences than we anticipated. There were those there who were anxious to hear about slavery from the lips of the living speaker, who eagerly took the tracts we had to distribute, purchased of anti-elaveiy books, and were ready to ask tbe Ohio legislature virtually to declare, that law or no law, Constitution or no Constitution, fu gitive slaves should not be taken from the soil of Ohio, Judge Tanoy and President Buchanan to the B. S. J. COOL SPRING, Dec.

22nd, 1858. SLAVERY AND THE GROG SHOPS. MOGADORE, January 1st, 1859. To'day is New' Year's day. By many it will be used ns a day of amusement and pleasure, but fur my owu part, I feel sad, I feel sad to think that while I am writing nearly four millions of human beings in our owu land are wearing tbe galling chains nf slavery.

I feel sad to think that this is thebeginning of a new which these slaves iu all probability must continue to woarjtbeir galling chains, their groans, ories and sufferings remain unheeded by tbe American people, with tbe eicep tion of a few despised abolitionists. I fool sad to tbink that the slave power rules our nation. our politica, and our roligion. That all of our institutions whether religious or political, are in sub mission to tbe slave power. And indeed is it not sad picture to gaze upon -that the great mass of the American people, have no higher ideas of gov ernment, politics, religion or morality than that wbicb emanates from slaveholders, dealer in hu man flesh Tbe slave power ia the great Aneric an God, around which government, politics, relig ion and morality bow in humble homage, and all trembling like Saul of Taraua they ory out, "0 1 Lord wbat wilt thou have ue to do What a stupendous work then the abolitionists bave before them, to revolutionize this public sentiment.

Wbat powerful obstacles they have to encounter in pleading for the deliverance of the bondman. Among tbe many obstacles which bin der the spread of a true Anti-Slavery sentiment, there is none that baa such a withoring, blighting effoot upon tbe cause of human freedom aa ale and whiskey shops. I have for tbe last few years been careful observer, watching the sad efl'eots whioh tippling and the use of alohoholio drinks bas ex erted upon our cause. I have seen individuals who felt an interest in behalf of tbe slave. By tbe power and eloquence of our lecturers tbey were made to feel for those in bonds at bound witb them.

But they have associated with those who gather around the ale and grog shops tbey havo become tipplers and their love for the slaves' cause has been tippled away. And in (not an aeeucU tion with those who drink their ale arid ruin and who frequent the liquor shops in our country, is enough of itself to wither up every feeling for humanity. Abolitionist; have considered it their duty to oppose all parties and institutions that stand in tho way of the slaves' freedom. They have opposed the government, and even the church they havo not considered as too saored to be opposed for its pro-slavery positions. I hope then that no abolitionist will tbink that ale and liquor shops are too sacred to be opposed.

Tbe temperanoe nnd anti-slavery causes seem so closely oonnected together that I do not see how they can be separated. Can we, as abolitionists, be consistent In opposing the corruptions of a proslavery church, and then make no opposition to those plaoes of iniquity where alcoholic drinks are sold and consumed as a beverage. Are men consistent in staying away from our churobee on Sunday, be cause they are so corrupt, and then spend their time diinking ale and whiskey at the grog shop? How can we remember those in bonds as bound with them, while we are giving aid and support to old King Alcohol, one of tho worst tyrants that ever existed beneath the sun. The slave has nothing to hope or expect from the liquor shops in our country but whips and chains. He has nothing to expect from tippling Legislators and Repre sentatives but Fugitive Slave Laws, and Nebraska bills.

I am well aware that the abolitionists are true temperanco men and women. I suppose thore is hardly an exception to be found. But tboy have so many obstacles to contend against in presenting the claims of the slave, that I some times think they forgot, and do not realize the sad efleot of tippling and alo drinking, or that the uso of alcoholio drinks as a beverage has upon the cause of human freedom. Therefore 1 take this opportunity of "stirring up their minds by way of It is customary in writing to-day, to say "A hap py new that we could wish a happy new year to the victims of intemperance, by removing tho temptation from our community. Would that the American people were prepared to praotically wish a happy new year to the slave by letting the oppressed go free.

Tue French Revolction A lecture was delivered last evening before tbe Fraternity Association, at Wasbingtonian Hall, on the Causes and Character of the French Revolution. The lecturer was Park or Pillsbury, of Concord, N. II. and his ad dress was as fresh and vigorous as if not one of the innumerable volumes and pumphleis on this subject hud ever been penned. We have not rocm fur anything like an extended sketch of the lecture, and can only say, in brief, that tbo lecturer found, in the history of the French nation, for a century preceding the outbreak and its conditions at the time, abundant cause for it.

With two privileged classes, the clergy, and the nobilitv. corrupt and corrupting, owning two-thirds of tbe estates ut the kingdom, and living at an ex pense of between five and six hundred millions or francs per annum, with a lower cluss, 25,000.000 in number, degraded by ignorance, haggard with want, and delirious with despair, the Revolution was a necessity, and camo because it must. The description of the poverty nnd degradation of the common people was thrilling in its pathos, and stirred the hearte of ail present.

Catholic Seminaries tor Neoroes. At Naples a new sominary for young negroes was established about a year ago by a zealous monk, Father Ladovico. All the inmates bad been bought by the founder in Africa, twelve at the expense of the King of Naples, and a palace had been donated for an educational establishment by a Neapolitan priest. In October, after the completion of one year'e atudios, nn examination was held in tbe presence of the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples, tbe prime minister, and several other distinguished personages, who declared themselves fully satisfied with it. The course of studies embraced the Italian, Latin, French, and Arabio languages, ge ography, arithmetic the elements of geometry, phvsics, and chemistry, and the doctrines of the C'atbolio Church.

Tho olimate of Naples agrees very well with the negroes, and it is therefore in tended to open also a aominary for the numeroua young negreasei whom Abbe Olivieri baa been redeeming from slavery, Heretofore they have been dispersod in tho convents of Italy, France, and Germany, and a great many of them have met with a premature death from tbe roughness of a foreign climate.
