| trainers never dreampt Of He asked What
is the Constitution--and where is it written !?
And he answered, it is written on the back of
the bill of sale of the first slave you ever met
in South Carolina. He would have the peo-
pie come up to the point and say,--Law or
no Law, Constitution or no Constitution
Humanity shall be paramount. He would
send out voice from Faneuil Hall that should
reach every howell in South Carolina, and say
to the slaves, come here, and find an asylum
of freedom, here where no pinion OF the Ma
tional Eagle shall snatch you away.
Mr. Charles Francis Adams said he thought
the resolutions would have an effect in two
ways-they would serve as an expression OF
the voice Of the people, and they would serve
as an example-indicating action that would
prevent any similar proceeding in future.
The result of the meeting was the appoint
ment ola Committee of Vigilance, consisting
of forty members. With the exception OF
many infammatory remarks, which, like our
contemporaries, we have passed over, the tone
of this demonstration was creditable to Massa-
chusetts, and must tend to good.

a barrack for the United States forces, and
everything settled down quietly.
Communications were Immediately des-
patched to Commander Montgomery, Of the
Portsmouth, at st. Francisco, at which place,
and at Zanonia, the u S. flag was hoisted on
the morning of the 9th; and before ten days
had elapsed, the whole of California north of
Monterey, was under the flag of the United
States, much to the apparent satisfaction Of
the people, who hope it will last, knowing how
much better they will be off under the Gov
eminent of the United States
On the 18th of July Captain Stockton ar
rived, too late, however, to participate direct
ly in taking possession of California.

the command to Commodore Stockton, hoist

1t Is worthy Of remark, that amid all her nd.
versities, she never refused to pay them. And
considering the support which Mr. Polk bas
received from States that had repudioted their
just debts, he might have exercised a littla
forbearance, or borne with some temporary
delay. But success, either in the settlement
OF the questions Of "indemnifcation, or Of
boundary" appears to have been secondary
object. however these questions might bs
used to conceal sinister motives, or be mads
the ostensible "weapons of war;"
We have thus glanced at the history of the
Mission, the failure of which is alledged to
have been the immediate cause of host;lit;e,
between the two countries. Reservinq for
our next a few remarks in relation to the prog
ress OF the war and its probable resulta.
