and his Ministers, were imprisoned in Mexico
Congress had re.assembled and temporary
constitutional government was installed there,
composed as follows, viz
Gen. Jose Joaquin De Herrera, President Of
the Council Of Government charged temporarily
with the supreme executive authority.
d. Luis Gonzaga Cuevas, Minister Of Foreign
Relations, State and Police.
D. Mariana Rva Palacos, Minister Of Jus
tice, Public Instruction and Industry.
d. Pedro J. Echeverria, Minister Of Finance.
d. Pedro Garcia Condo, Minister Of War;
And it was already known that the depart
ments OF Puebla and Of Vera Cruz had declared
their adhesion 10 the provisional government;
and there is no doubt that most Of the other
departments will also support the Congress
Meanwhile, Santa Anna is constitutional Pres
dent OF the Republic, but unconstitrtionally in
command OF the troops employed against Parades.
The new Minister Of War has ordered him to
give up his command.
II he refuses he becomes undoubtedly rebel
and traitor; because the provisional government
in Mexico is constitutionally constituted. II he
consents he ceases to have any troops for his sup
port, he is placed at the mercy of his enemies.
His position is now an extremely critical one
therefore. Everything depends on whether his
troops adhere to him against the Congress and
the constitutional government If they do, he
becomes military dictator OF the country.
Reports were current at Vera Cruz that part o
his troops had already proclaimed, him dictatator
and that another part had declared against him
but, upon this point, no information in authentic
form had reached the public ear.
II any sufficient portion Of troops adheres tc
him, to enable him to continue the war, still hi
is surrounded with difficulties, being in the yer.
heart Of the Republic, with Jalisco and its con
current departments to the Pacific against him OF
the one hand, and Mexico, with its concurren
departments to the Gulf, against him on the othe
hand.
He may recover himself by some new turn il
the wheel OF fortune, and resume his place as thu
constitutional President proprieiario OF the Re
public but this is hardly probable, as the publ
sentiment, is almost unanimous against him If
nearly all the departments.
II seems more likely that he will have 10 yelt
10 the storm; and il not deprived Of his life, h
may escape TO the United States by a sudde
march on Tampico or to South America by wa
OF the Pacific.

OHIO OFFICIAL,


After all the bluster Of Wing rejoicngs over
their great victory in Ohio, it will be seen that
Henry Clay is the minority choice OF the people.
He will receive the Electoral vote in the Electo
raj College, while he is behind in the choice OF
the voters! Had Mr.. Polk received the vote of
Ohio in similar way, there would have procee
ded from the wing press terrible tornado OF
abuse against him. Cincinnati Enquirer
Let US look at the other side: after all
the clustering and rejoicing of the locofo-
cos over their great victory in the United
States, Mr. Polk is the minority choice of
the people-Clay and Birney having re-
,ceived nearly FOUR THOUSAND more votes
than he did: yet we see very little, or in
fact, no complaint from the Wing Press.
Had Mr.. Clay been chosen President in
the same way, what would we have heard
from the foul-mouthed scamps who preside
over the loco press of the countryl Refer
to their course during the late canvass, and
an answer is at hand.

The friends OF this young orator would do well
to advise him 10 enquire what are the teachings
Of the common law writers upon the subject;
and whether the rejection Of such demoralizlng
connexions, in all civilized and Christian Gov.

moral and salutary precepts made known TO US
through that Book OF books. The passage Of the
act was also urged, because the General Assem-.

REPORT.

The Committee to whom it has been
referred, 10 report preamble and resolu-s
,ions, cauno1 but express their profound
sense OF. the responsibility resting upon
Your body al the present evrutfui -yri'ie'-u as
The integrity Of The nation-lhe interests OF
rrulh-the sacred enterprise of converting
the heather, are all involved in your de-
liberations. That such Convention was
imperiously demanded, must be apparent
to all. The Boston Board have in their
answer to the Alabama resolutions. most
unnecessarily exceeded their power, and
violated their trust. Ii isa question ad.
miuine of DO debate. that the Tricnnial
Convention was formed on the principle OF
perfect equality Of members from the
south aud north. And what is, all.impor-
tan, The very qualifications Of Missionaries
are prescribed by the original constitution
Of that Convention The fifth article pro-
viding that, "such persons as are in full
communion, with some regular church
Of our denomination, aud who furnish sat-
isfactory evidence of genuine pie'y, good
talents, and fervent zeal for the Redeem
er's cause, are TO be employed as Mission
aries"
Besides this, TOO, the declaration Of the
Board that If "aiy ono should offer him
self as Missionary having slaves, and
should insist OH retaining them, as his
property, we could not appoint him." is an
innovation and a departure from The course
hitherto pursued by the Triennial Con-
venliun such persons having been appniut-
ed.
And, lastly, this iuIrac,ion of the resolu
tion passed The last Spring al Philadel-
phia, and the General Board, at their late
meeting at Providence, have failed to re-
verse the decision.
Amid such circumstances, your Com
mil,ee esteem it absolutely necessary that
the friends Of the constitution of the Tri-
ennial Convention, and the lovers of the
Bible, shall at once take their stand aud
assert the great catholic principles of that
constitution and of the Word of God.
Your Committee, therefore, submit the
following resolution as embodying all that
they are now prepared 10 suggest TO your
body.
RESOLVED, That for peace and harmony,
aud in order 10 accomplish the greatest
amount Of good, and for ,hs maintenance
of those Scrptural principles on which the
general Missionary Convention of the
Baplis, Denomination of the U. States was
originally formed, it is proper that this
Convention at once proceed to organize a
Society for the propagation oflh Gospel.
A committee was appointed to draw up
a suitable constitution for the government
Of the proposed organization. To the
committee of sixteen, with the addition Of
severa! other gentlemen, were committed
this object.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Fuller,
Convention took recess until a o'clock.
