AmcxatiOn~~WOrk for Freemen on

I, viii be by the proco cings Of Congress that
The annexation scheme is under full Roadway, both
in The Senate ard tho House. Tn 7he latter, the
gan OF the loeofoco party (the committee foreign
aliars,) has reported in favor Of the measure As
yet we have not seon the slightest evidence tlm any
portion Of the ocooco majority i'll go against the
measure in the House, while in tho Senate, parties
close, and the balance Of power in the hands Of
Whig4 from states which have voted for Polk, and
thus virtually instructed them to go Cor annexation.
We hope these Wings will stand firm in defence of
thet ons,tution the honor, and the peace Of the
try; ut any re ii behooves the freent.n of tho North
20 speak OFT strongly on this suhject-to encourage
ihe opponents of this wicked and dssraccCu scheme
to Influence the wovering -nnd to warn the loco
TocoS fiom the free states that their for the
measure will seal their political death warrant.
But trLat can the .freemea Of Yermoni do? For

lines to remember that vi DILLlNGHAM sludiously
underworld to avoid this gren, issue during the past

political friend to express his views in this village he
would not up TO the mark Of a free and frank
nvowal Of opinions. We have been told, that in
other part Of tho district, he touched upon this ques-
tion leaving the inference the part Of some of his
hearers that he was favorable TO annexation How
tins may be, is il not enough to comdemn the
TO the conscience Of every opponent Of annexa-
zion and of slavery, thai he is not The open, frank,
and decided enemy Of his Siapeocrahc scheme?
such men consistently support him in preference 10
Mr. CHANDLER, who is most decidedly against

LATER FROM MExIco.-THE PRoGREss OF
THE REvoLUTIoN THERE. BY the way of Ia-
vanua,we have later dates from Vera Cruz, than by
tho way ofNew Orleans, through steamer arriving
at Havana from Vera Cruz
We have previously stated that the Mexican Con-
gress had ordered the manilestoes of the Revolution
airy General, Paroles, to be printed, thus lending
their seeming sanction to his movements, and that
Santa Anna had taken command OF the 10, 900 men
in the District of Jaapa, to proceed against him and
his command
Accordingly, as we already know, Santa Anna is-
sued his proclamation, put himself at tho head of
1000 infantry, 500 cavalry and 20 field pieces, and
on the 23d he left Mexico and marched towards Que
retaro with General Reyes,to which pent The troops
followed him. About this time the Mexican Con-
gress passed resolution censuring tho Minister at
War for having issued orders Santa Anna to take
command of the Army Of the Republic, when the
Constitution prohibited the Supreme Executive from
acting in that capacity. The reply of the Secretary
not having been deemed satisfactory, they decided
that General Santa Anna had been assigned TO COM
mand the troops Of district and was not placed at
The head of the ARMY. II therefore deemed nee
essary that the Minister should forthwith suspend the
command of Santa Anna. Meanwhile Gen. Bassadre
has been appointed to take his place.

by several wnrke tribes of Indians who were very

THE TEN-HoUR RULE.

The Piltsburg papers contain a correspondence
between the committee on the part of the factory
girls and the manufacturers. In reply to the queries
which were proposed by the former, the manufac-
turers pledge themselves to reduce the time to 10
hours as soon as the cotton factories in other
parts of the country will adopt the same arrange
ment. They alege, that at present they labor un-
der an ''unequal compettion and that the adoption
ofa shorter time for labor than pursued in other
factories, would subject them to very serious inc
quality and runous competition. In reply, also,
to question from the committee, they declare that
they are willing to dispense with the services Of
children under - years Of age; and that they have
only given them employment at the solicitation of
their parents.
