Anti Slavery Bugle

ANOTHER WAR TO INCREASE THE PROFITS OF SLAVE-GENERATORS - THE FILLIBUSTERS.

The time to light the train appears to have come. The Slave Power, or, more properly, the slave-breeding power, and President catspaw, are evidently about to execute the long meditated villainy -- ah, that is too soft a term - long meditated piracy and murder, once more to be perpetrated for no purpose under heaven but to strengthen and perpetuate as malignant, deadly and loathsome a despotism as ever afflicted and disgraced the human race.

The filibusters have been assembled in force for some week: their chief has shown himself recently at the Capitol, and held his levee in the Rotunda, carrying his head as high as Cataline: the itinerants of Ostend, who would be supremely ridiculous if they were not the exponents of a power which rules all here, without restraint of conscience or constitution, have put forth THE MANIFESTO. It is a document which defies comment. To discuss it would be as idle as to expose the conduct of Cain to his brother Abel. I can think of no parallel to it except a committee of cut-throats reporting to the captain of their band on the next new burglary and family massacre.

One of the most untoward circumstances is the absorbing crisis and unequalled horrors of the war in Europe. Our frantic tyrants flatter themselves that Great Britain and France are blind or paralytic. Perhaps they are. That, however, which is the turning point with the miscreants, to whom, for our great transgressions we are subjected, is the present state of parties at home, the certain complexion of the next Congress, and the utter prostration and desperation of those in power as to being entrusted with any legal means of compassing their object. Therefore, a new and seasonable subject of quarrel (probably a branch of the ripened plot) is found in some indignity shown or not shown, to some petty and perhaps insolent vice-consul. The country knows too well the quality of our representatives abroad. It knows too that slave-bred upstarts, in that or some other public capacity, are perpetually getting us into difficulty in the four quarters of the world; and that, especially in the Island of Cuba, none but such have been entrusted for the last twenty years, with selling our flag to cover the piratical speculations of the villains of all nations.

The steam frigate San Jacinto, an ominous name, is despatched to demand on the spot "immediate satisfaction" of a provincial authority, which has no more power to give satisfaction for a national insult than Boston or Hull. Indeed, our precious rulers have made absurd complaints, and almost war for the last three years, because the parent Government refused to confer any such authority. And it is precisely because the Cuban government have it not that the demand is to be addressed to it; for thus the intended crime may be made to wear the appearance of a peaceable and simple demand of Justice for an offence to the honor and sovereignty of the American people, without increasing the risk of its being satisfied!

We have just seen that Soule's labors at Madrid were reduced to staving off satisfaction.

Is it not visible as a thunder-cloud that they mean immediate violence and hostilities?

The filibusters have been openly encamping below New Orleans, and infesting the city, by day and night, for nearly two months; and there has been no arrest, no prosecution, not even a dirty, dish-water proclamation. On the contrary, all the naval forces we can muster are ordered forth in haste, not enough to set the Gulf stream a fire, to give them help, at first by menace, and ultimately, if need be, as need there will, by co-operation. "Remember Nogales and Gen. Gaines."

And when the appetite of the vampire shall have been appeased afresh, new guilt and corruption accumulated in the national conscience, and new stains on the national escutcheon, the Hunker Democrats will tell us sneeringly, "Now you know who James K. Polk is:" and the Hunker Whigs will acquiesce in this unprovoked "breaking into the bloody house of life," provided it results in the capture of new customers, and in forcing upon this people new and heavier monopolies of slave and 'sugar dealing, destined to become, in due time, the parents of an interminable family of monopolies.

In my opinion, we are in a crisis surpassing in importance, though it cannot in rascality, the movement of our army from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande.
