tents of the building consisting of groceries into the

Then they set fire the house, and also to that Of

While these houses burning, the rioters attacked

Mexico One bringing Matamoras to the
last week in July; and the other furnishing news from
Tampico to the first of August.
By the of Maamoras, learn that general Iemus

The town of Maamoras still considered as in stale
of siege. Little nothing doing in the business line
and the government officers quarrelng among them
selves.
The latest Tampco paper is dated July 81. Things re-
NAMED quiet, and mercantile business very good
There report among the English merchants that Mr.
Packenham would settle the dispute between Mexico and
Texas
The English packet Rebecca sailed from Tampco on
the 25th of july with Cos 500 dollars in specie on board
She was to touch Vera Cruz before she seered for Eng

1t was reported that the Mexican government had de-
termred that coin or bullion should be export ed

faction.
On the 18th Of July, Busamene entered the capitol of
Mexico and is said to have been received with gadnoss
He issued manifesto the occasion, which may be ter

The Captain of the vessel from Natamoras states that
the Mexicans there occasionally boosted of what they
tended to do in Texas, Lemus should be put
down. Mexico, they said would send twenty thousand
to chase back the ntruders the Sabine These
givngs do agree with the opinions entertained by

ing, disobedience to parents, murder, adultery
stealing, lying and covetousness. Now we ask
that the Congregational and Presbyterian Minis
tiers of Vermont, in the year 1889, will pronounce
their solemn judgment upon this complicated mi
guilty. If they speak at ALL would the Chronicle
have them avoid the grand point of pronouncng
slavery sinful under all circumstances ? Would
the Chronicle advise that the subject be treated as
the merest pecadillo? For what was the church
instuted-for what the ministry ordained, if not
to bear testimony against sin-to labor and pray
for its eradication from the earth? We say in
the words of another ~
eff in New England, where freedom has loved
to dwell, and where as the almoner of Gods
bounty, she has quenched the peoples thirst from
the smiten rock and made them suck honey out
of the finty rock,-if, in the heart of this free
commonwealth the ministers of heavens word
shall, from blind policy, faint heart or mis-.
taken sense OF duty, refuse to demonstrate agains
slavery in our land, one wonld think that nature
itself would speak out; that the forests would
murmur and sigh that the rocks would cry ou
from the mountain; that the hearts of these hills
would throb with audible pulsations that these
vales would wall with unsleeping echoes and
the broad atmosphere be filled with the cries O.
freedom, in agony for the crushed and bleeding
slave"

The Debates.

No apology, we are sure, will be deemed ne
cessary, for dcvotng several numbers of the Voice
mainly to the discussions and documents of the
National Convention. Our first thought was, tc
present only abstract of the debates, but as this
course might give offence to some, we have de-
termined to spread out the whole as it came from
the reporter. We bespeak an attentive perusal Of
the speeches published to-day, as well as those
which are to follow Those of Messrs. GooDELL
LEE, STANTON and STEWART will be found to be
especially able, timely and eloquent The lecture
of Mr.. ScoBLE, Of London, exhibiting the work
ing of freedom in the British colonies is promised
by the Emancipation, and will be sought for with
avidity The Address of the Convention to the
Citizens of the United States, ought also to be
universally read. And we here respectfully re.
quest at the hands of political journalists ofwhat
ever party, its insertion in their columns.

The Rev. Leonard Worcester, wishing to have
Col. Mlers story respecting himself contradict
ed where it had been most heard and credited
sent communication on the subject to the Voice
of Freedom. The champion of " free discussion
who presides over that paper, would not publish
the slandered minister's vindication of himself
The readers Of the Voice must be kept in the dark
about it.-W. Chronicle.
Without commenting on the dignfed courtesy
of the Chronicles rebuke, let it suffice TO say that
the affair of the story" has appeared to us, from
its first appearance in the Chronicle, as studied
attempt to disparage COL Miller and the cause he
serves, rather than to do away an unfounded ru-
NOR. Who supposes that Leonard Worcester was
criminally implicated in the alleged gambling fra
cas-? We are surprised that man of his dis
cernment has been prevailed on TO appear in the
papers on so slender pretext. But we are not
surprised that the Chronicle should seize upon
this small matter with its usual ZEAL
The Chronicles rebuke in this case comes with
a peculiar grace, after having himself utterly re-
fused candid reply to Mr.. Ingraham's letter,
written and signed by member of the executive
committee brother Holcomb of Brandon

From the National mtelHgencer.

The Hornet Again.-The Army and Navy Chronicle
notices a story which has obtained general circulation,
founded letter from Washington published originally
in the Charleston Courier, and copied extensively in 9th
papers The amount of the story is, that individual
in Washington has offered make disclosures in consider
alton of pecuniay compensation for himself and pardon
for friend, that the Hornet survived the gale in which
she is generally believed to have been lost and suisse
queny destroyed by conspratos brbed by foreign Gov
eminent!
The Chronicle says, &c that there is individual in
Washington who has offered make disclosures is true
enough; but that any faith placed in his pretended
story, that it has led frequent and long elaboration,
is utterly untrue. The individual in question has been
convicted of criminal offence, and probably hoped to
cape punishment by pretending revelations of the fate of
gallant vessel and her crew, which remain shroud-
ed in mystery until the day of judgment. The subject
has been officially before the Navy Board and only
formed the topic of few moments conversations but
was dismissed as unworthy of serious thought
