The Rev. WARREN BURToN, of Fall
River, will give II Lecture OH the REspoNsI-
BILIrIEs OF FREEMEN, mt the Court House,
next Friday evening, at half past 6 o'clock.
We give place to the following conmnni-
cation on the subject.
MEssRs. EDITOR Tile two lectures
touching the aboye named subject, which
we're delivered by Mr.. Burton, in Fall Riy-
or, are highly praised, by the papers of
that place, without distinction of party.
The Lecturer is interested, heart and soul,
in the subject, and although, have never
heard these Lectures, yet from my acquan-
tance with the man and the writer, I am
persuaded he will charm and improve all
who will hear him. His style is pi,hy and
forcible, his power of illustration very grcat.
hope he will have general hearing.
I#EFH U.
The following extracts are from the Fall
River Patriot - iH
We had the pleasure Of listening to a
mother of Mr.. Burton's lectures on Tuesday
evening last. The responsibility of voters
was admirably well set forth, and the sacred
obligation each and all are under, to under
stsnd principles and measures, before exer-
cisinp the right of suffrage, was insisted on
with much power aud in a manner highly
satisfactory"
"The lecturers remarks urging the ne
cessity Of everv voter becoming acquainted
with the views of both parties in relation to
principles and measures are entitled TO the
serious consideration of every man. If the
lecturers remarks on this subject were du-
ly acled on, there would be much less
wrangling, much less bitterness, aud much
less personal abuse than at present exists"

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
MEXICO.

From the n. o. Commercial Bulletin, Dec. g.
BY the French steamer Meteor, arrived
last night, in 60 hours from Vera Cruz, in
teligence was received that the castle of
San Juan de Ulloa was taken by the French
fleet, afte- bombardment of three hours,
will, a loss ofonly four men by the blocka-
ding squadron, and from four to five hun
dred Mexicans.
A messenger came in the Meteor, and
burned to Washington, being the bearer oI
important dispatches. Three frignies, -four
sloops of war and four bomb-ketclies, ST.
fenced l6O pieces Of Mexican artillery, in
less than four hours, and killed and wound
ed six hundred men of The Mexican yarri-
son.
The Mexicans capitulatcd, and were al
lowed to retire the fortress was immediate
ly occupied 10y the French. The MEXICAN
army near Vera Cruz was FIVE thousand
strong, but rs the town was commanded 10y
The castle, the officers did not think them
selves able to hold it !; but one thousand
Mexicans were allowed to remain, to pre-
serve order. 4. esist" t| #
The prince de Joiuville commanded the
sloop of war Creole, and behaved very gal
Ianily. 1t was thought the blockade would
be raised by the French. Negotiations for
peace had commenced.
The Washington Globe says
In this action, which was continued two
honrs and half, eight thousand balls and
three hundred and twenty bombs were
thrown into the fortress. On The French
side FIVE men were killed, one Of whom was
a mdshipman, and 80 wounded, two Of
whom were officers.
The Mexicans have suffered immensely.
The captain Of the Meteor, with whom we
conversed, gave us touching descrip-
Idon of the carnage. The shore was cover
cd with the dead and dying, and the pi,eous
cries of the latter were heard amid all the
din and tumult of the battle.
The bombs we're thrown Immediately on
the Mexican magazines. Three Of them
exploded with so much violence, that the
decks of several Of the French vessels at The
distance Of more than a mile were strened
with their fragments. The CavolIero. one
Of the strongest towers Of the fort, exploded
about FIVE o'clock, p. M.-The portions Of
the fort demolished by the friga,es were in
a most 6eplorable condition, the en,brasures
heing entirely dismounted aud battered To
pieces.
The above attack was made on the 9th
November.

THE HON. JOHN RUGGLEs.

The Globe of Monday contains synopsis of the
evidence before the Select Committee, in Judge
Ruggle's case, with his comments thereoni which
we shall publish on Saturday. The Globe prefaces
il with the remark that, every of the Commit
tee (save one) belongs to the oppostion and their
unanimous verdict, condemnng the witness instead
of the accused is highly honorable to the member so
insdiousiy assailed,"
Our comments on this subject would most properly
accompany the publication, which we shall copy
from the Globe; and we shall defer them according
ly. Mean time, we may remark, that while no one,
believe is surprisedsat at the result this case
so every body is astonshed at its origin-for while
the testimony fixes no impuation upon the moral
character of the accused it leaves his accuser with
out redeeming virtue for hiso lips testify against
him. andbB his 0len mouth he stands condemned.

MOVEMENTS IN ALBANY.

We publish to-day the important message
of Gov Marcy to the New York Legislature
1t seems to us the policy of the Governor is
quite antagonistical to that OF the party here.
WHY did he not say, the Government had
nothing to do but to take care Of itself, and
propose an issue of State treasury notes
The following paragraph, in the Albany
Argus of the lth instant, on the subject q
Mr. Hamcr's resolution is quite anti lobular
quite hostile to the late party vote here.
This Increment is not cssjua Than opportune, and
meets Le efforts of the great head Of an tredeemabe
papcr currency 10 prcren resumption and 10 conrep
The false impression that the government IS hostile to
The banks ,cih distinctness and force. WE DO NOT
DOUBT THE PASSAGE OF THE RESOLU-
ton. BY THE VOTES OF THE FRIENDS
OF A SOUND CIRCULATING MEDIUM"
The honorable Victory Birdseye has brought
forward the following just measure of relief
in the New York House Of Assembly. tits
more than a budseye view Of the case, and
we certainly wish it victory.
Whereas the banks of the State of New York as
the fiscal agents of the United States, have hereto
fore received in deposite large amounts OF the Fed
eral revenues all which they have paid over on de-
mand without loss or defalcaon.
| And whereas those institutions are now preparing
to resume specie payments at early day, and have
evinced commend bic desire to place the currency
| of this State in sound condition
And whereas it is just and proper that these banks
should be adequately sustained in these their aise-
worthy efforts by the confidence of the Stale and
General Governments
Therefore, Resolved, That all the revenues OF
this State be continued heretofore, TO be collected
in the notes of the solvent specie paying banks OF
this State and deposited with those banks for safe
| keeping. t.
Resolved, That our senators and representatives
in Congress be requested to urge the immediate pas
sage of law or the adoption OF resolution direct
ing all the officers Of the general government within
this State to receive the OF the specie paying
banks thereof, in paymen, OF all debts due and TO be-
come due to the United States, and to disburSe the
same in payments to be made by the federal govern
ment within this State.

MR.. DRoMGooLE,s RESOLUTION.

The dynasty Of revolutionary heroes has no sooner
passed away, than upsprngs race of Revolutionary
Heroes Ohio reoices in the great founder OF this
race, and Virginia in presenting an heir apparent
to follow in his footstepsp " We are indeed, in
the midst Of Resolution, hitherto bloodless," with
which Mr.. Dromgooe has surrounded as. When
shall be able TO escape from IT, there Is no tell
ing unless il can be foretold when Mr. Harlans re-
solution concerning the sureties Of Kentucky
Post Master, shall be considered and answered, las
are probably indebted to that resolution for Mr..
Dromgoole's anxious inquiries, which we could very
easily and would readily have answered withoutp put
ting the nation to any additional expense for the
honorable movers economical and patriotic ankle
ties.
The gentleman is really the ANXIOUS SEAT"
and we hope the house will lose no time in relieving
him from his labors Of love. But perhaps the Rsso
lutionQry member does not know that the Printer TO
the House is under bonds of $4,000 to execute his
duty and consequently what is "HoMIsATED IN the
bond, and not an impertincnt Resolution must be
looked to. But seriously, we should like to know
where Mr. Dromgoole can find precedent or a pa
rael, any apology for the improper and imperti-
nent Resolution he has offered Did he not vote
against candidate for printer for three or four
days, at the Extra SESSION.
And does he not know, that the publisher Of the
Globe lost the printing in 1895, when the party
claimed majority of dozen or twenty; while they
do not now, and did in October last, claim
so large naajoritt which is not increased since,
and is not likely, think, TO increase mach by vir
tue Of such means the poor spirit of this resolu-
ton furnishes
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-04-19

the most decisive evidence, Gany were want
ing, tina, it is the policy of "he party" TO
10 embarrass the banks as much as possible,
and keep the country in agitation by prevent
ing the resumption Of specie payments. The
ultimate object is clear.
A reconciliation Of the people finally to
any measure, for the sake Of change, which
the party may impose. This policy, by this
time, must be understood even by the most
sceptical. The Administration intends to
persevere in its hitherto fruitless attempts to
cram the Sub-Treasury down the threats OF
an unwilling people! 1t is as deaf to the pop
ular voice, as is needless Of popular interest.
1t has staked its life upon cast, and resolv-
ed TO stand the hazard of the die. The worst
wish its enemies can entertain, il, that it may
persevere. The end of the game is as clear
and as certain, as the final fate of man. No
earthly power can save it from the deepest and
darkest political damnaton at the end Of the
current three years. BY what intelligence
or secret motive, other than an ambition for
COulucot ~ 10
The design-the destruction Of the banking
system and the efect--the ruin of the
people, we can plainly perceive. Before the
monstrous purpose is accomplished, however,
we expect to see the ignorance, the knavery,
the bigotry, the infatuation, the folly, and the
little leaven of honesty if there be any, in
which this scheme has had its origin and
movement, all united in one common, indis-
criminate, disgraceful, everlasting overthrow.
The negative voters on this resolution have
shown themselves to be the legitimate paper
money, treasury note, government-bank, ANTI
RESUMPTION, anti-republican, anti-popular
destructive party. But their day ofretributon
is not distant If we mistake not the signs,
they will find themselves, by the Ides Of No
vember, among the things ExpuNGED! by
order of the people.
