presented, and for one, it shall receive my warm

Headed as il is, bya standard bearer OF the
same family with the patriotic and gifted Pat
rick Henry of Virginia, il cannot fail to alarm
the opposition and insoirit our friends. Altho'
our banner is tattered and torn, still we should
ever keep it ahoat, rnllying to aman, under its
ample folds. "The race is not always to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong;" and, # the
same patriotic ardor and noble disntereetedness
shall continue to characterize the Wings oil

so distinguished, that flag will yet be seen

The Pamela LYNX IN Speaking o. Gov. Nc.

The PanOla Lynx in speaking OF Gov. Nc
mutt and Gen. Fooic, ssys:-
They arc both Democrats, and possess in an
eminent degree that kind Of Democracy which
di.pcnscs with that useless custom Of society,
the practice Of speaking TO each other, and
shaking hands. But this not being test Of
Democracy, as Democrats frequently prove
that it is not, by the bitter Strife and the worm
wood which they pour down each others
throats occasionally, we will let IL pass with
the single remark, that they have Disguised
the people Of this section OF the country, by
theirpersOnal hostility and senatorial harangues.
On Saturday last they spoke at Pharsalia,
where, as VIC are informed, the Ex-Governor
took occasion to sssail the Wing party, and
denouncs them as ''Pitiful band" or employ
ed some other term Of similar import. Thi'
was very kind in the old saint, and we hope he
will be rewarded for ., vet.

men of great talents and literary a~ttainments,
and who maintain a high character as men of
exalted piety, men who are looked up to as
eminent divines and able expounders of
Christian theology, laboring as it were with
the zeal of apostles, to justify this abomina-
BILE system from the Bible-to make it a
Christian institution. They behold the great
mass of Christians coming up to the polls,
eager to elevate Shareholders and pro-slavery
men to the highest offices in the Government,
and giving the system the most efficient sup
port, by freely purchasing and using its
blood stained products. In view of this APP
paling exhibition of Christianity, we ask a.
gain, is it any wonder that infidelity is max
ing its inroads in our landl And to cap the
climax Of folly and madness, these pro-slave-
ry Christians, with great apparent zeal for
the cause of Christ, now attribute this in
crease of scepticism (Which is the legitimate
fruit of their own doings) TO those who are
laboring to vindicate the honor of our pure
and holy religion from the foul imputation of
sanctioning one Of the greatest systems of
abomination that was ever practised among
men.
And now, in conclusion, we would renew
our earnest eXpostulation with all who love
the cause of Christ, to stand forth in vindi-
cation of his holy religion from the fowl as
PENSIONS cast upon it by its protested friends.
o, be not behind, we beseech you, be not be-
hind the unbeliever in the advocacy and the
exhibition of practical righteousness, lest your
ears be saluted with the awful language used
by the Divine Author of our religion, to a
highly protesting people formerly: 1.-The
publicans and harlots shall enter into the
kingdom of Heaven before you"
Signed by direction and on behalf of Indi-
ana Yearly Meeting of Anti-Slavery Friends,
held at Newport, Wayne County, Indiana.

4. The Jury found the acts of Virginia
and of the United States for the %cession of
the lands northwest of the River Ohio-the
ordinance of l7S7-the act establishing the
State of Kentucky, and the compact relating
to the jurisdiction on the Ohio of the States
bordering thereon-the act of Congress au-
thorizing the people of Ohio to form a Con-
~stitution of State government, with the State
Constitution, in which the boundary of that
State on the south is defined to be by the Ohio
River to the mouth of the Great Miami Riv-
en-" and the act of Congress admitting the
State into the Union on the footing of the
original States.
"And if upon these facts the Court
shall be of opinion, that by law the place
where the acts of the defendants were COM
mitted is within the jurisdiction of the Com
monwealth of Virginia, then the jury find
the defendants guilty, and assess their term
of Imprisonment at the period of three years.
But if on the contrary the Court, on the facts
found, shall be of opinion that by law the
place where the acts of defendants were COM
mitted is without the territorial jurisdiction of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, Il en- the iu-
ry find the defendants not guilty.
This verdict is recorded and adjourned Ia
the General Court which meets at Richmond
next Monday, and will be there argued in
full and decided. And if the decision shall
be against the prisoners on the only question
in dispute, that of jurisdiction, the case may
be removed to the Supreme Court of the U.
States.
We forbear comment on this case, at thi:
time, leaving it to the judgment of the Court;
of Justice.
The prisoners Of course, remain in prison
until the decision.

some doubtless were hired out, and obtained
educatlon-other obtained it at home,
some were detained by sickness, per-
haps, or want of proper clothing, so that
the number that voluntarily abstained from
education was trifing. This important fact
is very significant Of the peoples habits
The same facts are also shown in the colored
population of Washtenaw. In that county,
there are many colored farmers of the highest
responsibility, and they are, without one ex-
ception, among the most honest, Industrious,
and moral of the community. They areinde-
pendent in circumstances, good citizens, en-
couragers of schools, churches, and morality.
heheaviest petitions for their franchise como
from that quarter.
Again, our colored people are rarely found
as criminals, or in poor-houses. They are
not mendicants-do not burthen the country,
but make an honest living, spite of the dis
advantages of prejudice and Legislative deg
radiation. Many of them, too, have come
from the South, poor and friendless to a new
climate, and among strangers-having expe-
rienced in law but an instrument of oppression
and with our border river only between them
and immunity from any deeds they may CON-
nit.

FROM YUCATAN N.

The schooner .Argus, in ten days from Laguna,
also arrived at New Orleans on the 18th instant.
She reports that on the 9th instant Mexican brig
of war, two days from Vera Cruz, arrived at Cam
peachy with the proclamation of GARCIA CoNDE,
the Mexican Secretary of War, setting forth the in
tention of the Mexican Government to declare war
against the United States and calling upon the Go
vernment of Yucaan to furnish their quota of troops
to assist the General Government. The authori-
ties, after celebrating for four hours upon the de-
mand Of the Secretary, returned an answer, That
in case of an invasion of their territory by the
+. United States, they would raise sufficient
force to repel the invaders, but that they could not
! assist in furnishing troops to Mexico in war
against the United States"

FROM MEXICO.

The steam schooner augusta, Captain GMLETT,
arrived at New Orleans on the 18th instant from
Matamoras, which place she left on the 18th. The
principal news brought by her is contained in let
ter addressed to Captain Gillett by gentleman of
Matamoras, whose position (the Bee says enables
him to acquire early and correct information.
This letter, speaking Of the movements troops
in the vicinity Of Matamoras, says il was known
positively that all the points Of the Rio Grande
would soon be covered that General. ARIsTA had
about 1900 men within one days march Of Mata-
moras on the 18th that General Paroles was on
his march to Monterey with 1000 or 5000 men !;
that General GAoNA was also on the march with
1900; and that General BusrAMENTE was going to
New Mexico. The letter then says:
Notwithstanding these preparations, believe
that hostlities are not so imminent as might at
first be thought. There is no General-in-chef APP
pointed yet-no contracts for the necessary sup
plies of a campaign, or serious incIrsion In
Texas Some persons, generally well-informed
think that the Government needs money greatly,
and is disposed to hold up the prospect Of war
in order to get the loan approved. The hope that
foreign Intervention will soon put an end to the
difficulties between the two countries seems to be
at the bottom Of the ideas of this Government,
which, the other hand if we may credit letters
recently received from the capital, appears to be
threatened with new revolution"
1t is also stated that according to the official pa
pers Of Mexico, the $l5,0O0,000 had been nego-
tiated but this is doubtful.
BY despatch of the Mexican Consul, dated at
New Orleans before his departure from that place,
the General commanding at Matamoras had been
advised of the shipment of United States troops to
Corpus Christi and Bexar.
In view of the contents of the letter above men
toned the Iropc remarks that it does not much
Of war in it. The Bulletin says that as yet, the
real intention of Mexico is involved in uncertainty,
and it seems as predetermined ever whether war
viii be declared. The Courier has the subjoined
comment:
"The writer is friend of Captain Gillett, resid-
ing in the town of Matamoras. That town is the
nearest in Mexico to the Bay Of Corpus Christi,
where General Taylor is encamped If the Next
cans intended to attack him, one would suppose
Captain Gillett could tell something about their
preparations"
The advices received from the city of Mexico by
the Augusta are no later than those which reached
us by the Waterwitch.

Although the subjoined statement has been in
circulation some days uncontradicted, and we have
cause to put personal confidence in the individual
we hesitate to believe the statement, while think
it due to the Government officers here to place it
before them. The New York Tribune of the 22d
says:

be misconception, the work of some tools of
faction which the banefu spoils system has placed
in office, and SO unused to think of any thing but
party tricks, that, in their eagerness to please their
superiors, they execute that which their superiors
never designed
