A TRUE MAN. We were much surprised in
looking over the proceedings of the War meet
ing in Boston, to find the names OF several Wings
on the Committee to solicit funds to aid the Reg
iment of Volunteers for the Mexican War. One
of them, William Denton, has written manly
and excellent letter TO the Atlas on the subject.
He says:
| should not have been more surprised had
been named as one OF committee to set fire to
my dwelling house, or to solicit men to become
traitors to their country, and its constitution
was not at the meeting, neither did sympathize
with those who called it, nor can with those,
who, by reckless disregard of the great prnci-
pie of humanity and right, have, by their profit
gate course, furnished an opportunity for such
meeting to be called. If the present was a Ma
tional War, brought upon the country by Consti-
tutional authority, to vindicate national honor and
national rights there would then be no necessity,
| aPprehend, in Massachusetts, OF appointing Z
committee for any such purpose. IL is not, how
ever, Tor either OF these purposes. 1t is war OF
different origin, for other and quite different OBJ
jects. 1t is not only to extend and perpetuate
the abominable institution OF Negro Slavery, but
to forge additional chains aud letters for the PO-
LITICAL SLAVERY OF THE FREE STATES
putting off the day to an indefinite period,
when they would otherwise, have become free
and emancipated from the miserable policy and
the corrupt and dictatorial power of the Slave
States.
Does il promote the interests, the honor, and
the glory Of this FREE country, to extend and
perpetuate Negro Slavery! Are there no other
objects worthy OF the prowess and valor OF our
army and navy, but to make slaves OF portion OF
the human family Every victory which Gen
Taylor may gain over the Me2cans strengthens
