From Mexico,

By recent arrivals we have Mexican dates TO
the 18th ult. The accounts of the entire sue
cess of the revolutionary movement of Paroles
are confirmed. Rumor says, that the MexieaD
government refused to treat with our Minister,
Nj. Slidell, or even to acknowledge him as SUCH
Mr.. Slidell, finding the object of his mission
was failure, demanded his passports, whiclp
were refused; and that an escort out of the
country was denied him. Whether the report
is true or not, it has caused great deal of ex-
citement among our southern neighbors, and the
papers at the southwest are filled with appeals
to the passions and prejudices of the people
There is good deal of buster about the in,
suit to the nation in this alleged treatment Of
our minister by the Mexican authorities; but
for the life of US we do not see how, in the
midst of a revolution of the Government, Mr..
Sldell could have received any other, than the
reception alluded to. He will probably return
soon, which will give some other good friend Of
his country an opportunity to travel about and
see some portions of the world at the public
expense.
The Picayune of the Odd publishes letter
from Havana, from which it would appear not
unlikely that Santa Ana may be called home to-
take part in the new government But the.
whole is matter of guess-work After speca-
lating upon the consequences of the approach
| ing revolution, and stating that Paroles is the
cat's-paw of Almonte and Santa Ana on one
side, and of the British, French, and Spanish
governments on the other, the writer adds,
Paroles is known to be an old fool, and unless
one or other of the two new parties place him
i'll front as the mask, he will be laid on the shelf.
The British Minister'S promises TO- secure tho
integrity of the country, preserving California
and recovering Texds-that in this England,
France and Spain viii support Mexico-and,
though they do not yet tel the Mexicans so
give them a ruler That there is more thar
wind in this matter, we have no doubt and
President Polk may soon BE- called upon, not to-
acquire Oregon but to sustain his ASSERTION reh
alive to European interference OH the American
Continent, and to preserve The boundaries Of the
eountry.

What is being done F?

We feel anxious to know what is being done to pro-
mote the liberty in the different parts of the
State Is there not criminal Indifference and lehar-
gy upon the subject? Is not that season of the year
which is emphatcay the seedtime Of our cause pas
sing rapidly by unimproved? To be sure, Bro. Gar
net is doing acceptable service in the State but we
fear his strength is almost gone for the Presen-and
if he should be able to continue until April, he could
not visit 1.-THE of the places where the Liberty plough
should be put in beam-deep
The Dollar Plan was started at the State Conven-
ton with great unanimty but at so late an hour that
comparatively few subscriptions were procured on the
spot and the responses since have been few and far
between. The Committee ,rould press this plan, upo,
the immediate attention Of our friends through the State
They do not feel at liberty to employ lecturers, and
send outtracs and papers, until the necessary means
are raised. No time, therefore, should be lost.
But with good success in raising fund by means of
this plan, it will not supercede the necessity of our
friends aboring in their own localities Indeed, the
design was to expend this sum in destitute places, and
leave the work to be prosecuted vigorously by our
friends wherever they are organized Will not, then,
County and Town committees look to this matter with
out delay before the winter evenings shall have pas
sed and the busy of the year set in? Let them
not only 60 to work. but let us hear from them with
regard to what they have done are doing, design to
do, or think ought to be done. Stir up one another
through the columns of the Freeman.
The States Of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut Rhode Island, Ohio and Michigan,
are at work in good earnest and seem determined to
largely increase their vote at the next election Shall
the "b0nner State" be outdone?

John Jacob Astor's income is estimated at
$4,000, 900 year 100000 month, SAL
500 week, $500 day, $500 an hour, $40
a minute! and yet this same Astor is poor man.
Like Midas, he has lived to see every thing he
touches converted into gold. He has also learn
ed that gold has no necessary connexion with
happiness. 1t will not purchase exemption from
the Ills OF life, nor, for one short moment, pro-
long life Nor can Heaven be purchased with
gold. From the shores of eternity, how insig-
nfcant how contemplate will the wealth of
this world appear,-how readily will he, who has
no more durable riches, exchange even the fifty
millions of John Jacob Astor for the favor of
God,-for the pearl of great price Christian

preme Court, of the state of Ohio, was noted
wag. young lawyer was once making his
first effort before him, and had thrown himself
on the wings OF his Imagination into the seventh
heavens and was seemingly preparing for high
er ascent, when the Judge struck his ruler on
the desk two or three times exclaming to the
astonished orator, " Hold on, hold on, my q
SIT. Don't go any higher, for you are al
out of the jurisdiction of the Court"

Slavery in the District,
Respectfully Yours,
WILLIAM SIAS.

We invite the attention of all to the Memoir
al upon our first page, from the inhabitants Of
the District of Columbia, praying Congress to
abolish slavery in that District How much it
sounds like the antslavery appeals of the present
day, which are denouncee as fanatlcal, incendla-
ry, unconstitutional and every thing that is evil!
Discretionary position taken by the abolition
lists of the present day with respect TO the bar
barity of the slave laws, the social, moral and
political evils Of slavery, the exclusive power OF
Congress over the District, and the expediency
of exercising that power to abolish slavery, are
all openly urged by the inhabitants of the Dis
trct themselves They differ only in the mat
ter of gradual, or immediate, emancipation
But, had Congress granted even that prayer,
slavery in the District would now be drawing
rapidly toward its final end Why, then, has
not this prayer been granted! Simply, because
the lords of the South would not suffer it! And
now, instead of obtaining spontaneously, such IA
Remonstrace from the inhabitants of the District,
the man who should solicit it would lose his
life! Is not our couse foarfully retrograde upon
the subject of human liberty?

GREEN MOUNTAIN FRFEMAN.
Trnth Prevails !!

We hope to be excused for the liberty we take in
publishing the following cheering and manly private
letter. Just received from one of the most influential
and highly esteemed gentlemen in Caledonia County,
Hon. WILLIAM SIAs, at present member OF the State
Senate The letter was not designed for publication,
but we are induced to send it forth as an example to
multitude of others who are in the position lately
occupied by Mr. S., and who feel that duty requires
them to take the same step-but have hitherto lacked
the moral courage to do So
1t is but two or three weeks since we had the plea
sure of recording the accession to our ranks OF the
Hon. JACOB ScoTT, formerly State Senator from
this county, and of the most worthy and lnfluen-
tal men in our whole community.
These are cheering signs of progress, to the friends
of Liberty Let them but maintain their integrity ant
consistency and the truth shall speedily prevail.

THE Fan limit case before The Supreme Court.
1t was expected this case would be heard anG adju-
dcated at this term of the Court Gov. Seward, who
is here, has made very thorough preparations for the
argument and was ready, when it was reached on the
docket. But after ALL it is likely to be postponed till
next year. This is the state of the CASE Gov. More
head of Kentucky is the counsel the other side and
has been expected here for some weeks past Itseems
he taken sick at Columbus, after leaving home on
his Journey to this city, Whether he will get here at
ALL Is matter of uncertainty, and Mr., Seward is en-
gagged in an important cause in his county, and
must leave here the last Of next week. The rcsutun-
doubtedy will be postponcment without prejudice to
either party,
The delay may be quite as well for Mr. V. T., but
it is to be regretted that the very able argument pre-
pared by Mr.. Seward could not have been offered to
the Court at this time and through that channel have
gotten before the people, The Supreme tribunal would
have listened to views to which their ears are quite
unaccustomedthey would have been pressed by prin-
ciples and statements which have no place in their
modes of reasoning, and have become strangers in
their reports. However, patience friends Freedom
can afford to wait her turn. 1t will come-sure as
doom it will
understand that there are technical exceptions e.
nough to insure the safety of the appellant from the i'm
pending judgments yet that of little consequence
in comparison with good improvement of such an OBJ
porunity to bring out fundamental principles that are
collateray involved in this case The right time will
come for their development and sure application
