Is either PrO-SlaYerY?

A correspondent of the Chronoiype, states
that the treaty made tome twenty years since
between the United States and Tunis, con-
tains the following provision;
sin case a slave escapes and takes refuge
on hoard an American vessel Of war, he shall
be free, and no demand shall be made either
for his restoration, or for payment"
Compare this with the treaty entered into
by the United States each with the other.
"No person held to service or labor in one
State under the laws thereof, escaping into a.
mother, shall, in consequence of any law or
regulation therein, be discharged from such
service or labor, but shall be delivered
up on claim of the party 10 whom such ser
vice or labor may be due"
1t seems to us that every honest mind that
is sufficiently, well informed 10 know that
slavery existed in both countries at the time
these provisions were adopted, and were sane
toned by law in both, will at once perceive
that the former article was designed TO be an
ti-slavery in its character and tendencies,
while the latter was as evidently designed to
be the reverse. Tunis acted up TO the light
she had, but America trampled her principles
unto the dust. The former has abolished
slavery in her borders, the morality of her
halfcivilized Bey could not tolerate the clank-
ing of the letters or the crack of the drivers
whip. The latter occupies an infamous pre-
eminence in the ranks of oppressors, and has
become ''the bye-word of a mocking earth"

WHAT DOES IT MEANT

Some of our readers will probably feel dis
posed to ask this question when they read the
communication from a member of the Liberty
Central Committee Of Geauga co. We can
hardly tell what it means, unless it be that
some of the Anti-Slavery members of Liber-
ty party are becoming dissatisfied with the
position of their candidate. We cheerfully
rive place to the questions sent us, not, how
ever, with the expectation that Samuel Lewis
will answer them. At the commencement
Of the present campaign, a body Of Wesleyan
Methodists addressed him, requesting him
to give his views, through the Cincinnati
Herald, in regard to membership in the Meth.
iEpis. Church. DR.. Bailey advised him
65@ not to reply By letter 80 but to define
his position in the meetings he Addressed
We have reason to believe that he strictly
followed, at least the first portion of the Dr.'s
advice.
DR.. Bailey and Samuel Lewis both know
that it is dangerous for political candidates to
write letters for publication. Many a politi.
cal aspirant has learned by sad experience
that d" tile letter kiHeih."

DEMoCRACY.-Sevier, the Democratic SEN
ator from Arkansas, says that "labor is every
where the same;'' alike degrading in Arkan-
sas aud in Pennsylvania. 1t is not surpris-

the occupation of his slaves, but strange that
hard working freemen should wish to hold
fellowship with one who desires in his heart
to reduce them to the same condition.-Dem.

General Artificial Ruin Association.

There exist at Rome secret work-rooms of
sculpture, where the works manufactured are
broken arms, heads of the gods, feet of the
satyrs, and broken tOrSi, of nobody. BY
means of a liquid there used, a color of the
finest antiquity is communicated to the mar
BILE. Scattered about the country are goat
herds, who feed their locks in the vicinity of
ruins, and look out for foreigners. To these
they speak incidentally of treasures found by
digging a few feet deep in such neighbor-
hoods. The English. in particular, are the
victims of such mystifcation, and freely yield
their money to shepherds, who are agents to
the General artificial Ruin dissertation, and
know well where to apply the pick-axe.-
They are careful, however, to spend much
time and labor in ~fruitless search, before they
come fully upon the treasure.-Erchange pa-

There is also " General artificial Ruin u.s.

it become, that its members need no secret
work-rooms in which to carry on their craft,
and resort to no extraordinary device to pro-

LATEST FROM THE NJ

A gallant officer of the United States Ar
my has favored us with IA letter from which
we make the following extract. 1t is dated
CAMARGo, (Mexico) July 81, 1916.
Information that ] rely upon is, that Gen.
Mejia with the remnant Of Arista's army,
1000 strong, is at Cadirtita, a town thirty
miles east Of Monterey. This town has a
garrison of near 1000 men, (regulars } a
population OF Is, 900. Gen. Paroles was at
San Luis de Potosi on the 18th ult., on his
way to Monterey, with 5000 regular troops +;
he has also called on Nuevo Leon for 8 900
active militia; from this department of Ia
maulipas he expects 1000 more; making his
entire force, when he reaches Montery on
the 18th or Goth proXimo, near %, 200. Gen.

Query FOR THE NON-voTERs.-How can
YOU approve of what is done in Congress a.
gainst slavery if the Constitution does not al
low anti-sIavery %actionl Or how can YOU
applaud men for doing what you yet refuse
to enable. by your votes, others to do Island
ard and Whig @'7G.
We never met any one so silly as to as
sert that the Constitution prohibited all anti
slavery action. There is a great difference
between this and requiring a promise to rem
der pro-sluyery action under certain contln-
g%encies, which Disunionists affirm the Con-
~stitution does. Congress may repeal p~ro-sla-
very laws, may record its testimony against
chaltelizing human beings, mey even assist in
amending the Constitution, so far as these
things are good and tend to the overthrow of
slavery, we shall rejoice in them, no matter
by whom done, for in so doing we do not
sanction the position of the men who do
them.
We shall rejoice when the members of a
sIaveholding church become sufficiently anti
slavery to make man-stealing a bar to COM
m%uniGn, and we hope the writer of the above
paragraph would r%ojoice with us, even though
le had recommended all persons to refuse to
become members of that church. Yet how
could he applaud men for doing that which
lie placed it out of the power of others to do,
by urging them to stand aloof from member
ship until the church became .reformedl-
The answer TO this question will be an am
pie reply to his.

lowed it, was less violent and of less dura-
ton. Buildings were shaken and door bells
were rung, and in some instances crockery
was thrown from the shelves. At Jamaica

"MoRAL CouRAGE."-Under this caption
will be found an article on our fourth page
from the pen of Cassius NJ. Clay. When he
wrote it, he understood and appreciated true
heroism, he felt that moral courage was ss the
only bravery on which humanity may count
for any real blessing" Yet he has chosen
that which he considered low and grovelling,
and forSaken what he esteemed as noble and
exalted. His faith in man is greater than his
faith in God. He regards bayonets as more
mighty than Truth, the banner of bloody
st.ipes as a more glorious standard than that
of justice. Verify, he will have his reward.
+ GT The Hicksite Yearly Meeting of
Friends convened this week at Mt. Pleasant.
a warm contest was anticipated between the
Anti-Slavery and Pro-Slavely members. En-
deavors were doubtless made to keep the vex-
ed question of slavery in the back ground, so
thatthe good old quiet which the anti-reformers
love so well, might prevail. Vain effort
The Society must become "frSt pure, then
peaceable."
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRIsoN.-It will be
seen by a letter of Henry G. Wright's, which
we copy from the A. S. Standard, that this
uncompromising foe of oppression has arriv.
ed in England. He will undoubtedly do a
great work there, a work which shall be felt
not only in the kingdom of Great Britain, bu,
in slavery-cursed America. Success attend
his efforts.

GRAHAM's MAGAZINE comes TO us this
month with no less than ten articles from its
female contributors, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Os-
good, and Mrs. Sigourney being among the
number. 1t is illustrated by a beautiful
Mezzotint of 1.-THE Greeks at the Well" and
a View from Mount Holyoke.' The lat
ter we readily recognized as having been
taken from a'spot on which we stood a year
or two since. There is the same beautiful
valley with its flr-famed meadows of green
and its neat villages, and the silver Con-
n%ectlcut pursuing its winding course as
though unwilling to exchange so lovely a
spot for the shoreless ocean with which it is
destined to mingle; there too are the forest
clad mountains which fence in the valley,
and bending over all the clear blue sky of
New England.

Of the students, there were only about Ia
or Is in the school, together with the
teacher, Mr.. Sample; 4 or 5 OF whom
were killed, and the rest, with Mr.. Sam
pie, SO dreadfully mangled that their
lives are despaired Of. At Mr.. Caldwelps,
four negroes belonging to him were kill
ed, and several injured. At Mr.. Dol
lahite's and Mr.. Fosters none were kill
ed, though there were several wounded.
At DR.. Snider's, where the frame work
of new house was blown down, and
the roof of that wherein he lives was ta-
ken off, we believe one or two persons
were wounded. Col. Morton's house
and lot were injured, and some of his
family wounded. The house of Mr.. E..
III. Mitchell was damaged, as also OF K.

killed or dangerously wounded. AT MIR.

not dangerously; two negroes belonging
to Mr.. L. were also wounded. At DIR.

pillars which supported it, but no person

The Forty-ninth Parallel.

Mr.. BENToN has made an elaborate ar
gument i'll the Senate TO show that our
title to the whole OF Oregon is not .'clear
and unquestionable; )" and upon the
principle demanding nothing but what is
right, he contends that Mr.. PoLK's posi-
ton on that point is untenable. Our
claim 10 the forty-ninth parallel he con-
side perfect, and in his view that line is
the best boundary that can be devised in
a geographical aspect as well as in re-
gard TO right and justice. At the conclu-
sion of his remarks on Tuesday he thus
spoke Of its parallel.
1t is the line which parts, more suitably
than line following the high lands
could do ii, the valley of the Columbia
and of Frazer's river, saving to us all our
discoveries and settlements beyond the
Rocky Mountains, and leaving to the
British the whole of theirs. 1t is a con-
tinuation OF the line on this side of the
mountains line which. happens to con-
form to the geographical features of the
continent on this side of the mountains,
and equally so on the other. On this
side, it parts the two systems of waters,
one Of which belongs to the valley of the
Mississippi, and the other 10 the basin Of
Hudson's Bay: on the other side, it parts
the system of waters which belong TO the
valley Of the Columbia from those which
belong to Frazer's river cutting off the
heads OF few streams, of about equal
value OH each hand.
1t is the line of Utrecht--a line which

by British and American Statesmen as
the ultimate line of settlement and boun-
Diary between the countries. 1t is the line
Of RIGHT, resulting from the said treaty

We learn from private letter, that
Gen. Taylor has expressed determina-
ton to make his summer quarters at
Monterey, and there is no doubt that with
the force now under his command, and
the volunteers that are Fastening to his
standard, that he can establish his sum-
mer quarters in any part of the eastern
provinces of Mexico that he desires. The
valley of Montery was visited by many
of our soldiers, during the Federal War,
and they describe it as an earthly para
disc; groves of oranges, lemons, figs,
and pomegranates, surround the city; and
the whole valley, which is irrigated by
countless rivulets of pure and wholesome
water, is but continuous garden, produ-
cling various kinds of vegetables, and trop-
ical fruits in abundance.
The climate, however, in summer, is
rather too warm to be agreeable to per-
sons from the Northern States but a

midsummer, is as cool and salubrious as
that of the Catskill mountains. Even

LATER FROM THE ARMY.

The Galveston, Capt. Wright, has
just arrived, having left Point Isabel on
Wednesday. the 9th inst.
The news brought by her is con6rma-
tory of the capture of Matamoras. The
Mexicans were encamped about 20 miles
up the river. Both the Americans and
Mexicans were waiting for reinforce
lnents, when another battle was expected.
The Mexican army left large amount of
ammunition at'Matamoras, which is valu-
able acquisition to General T'aylor's sup
plies.
The Mexicans having previously des-
troyed large quantities by filling up the
wells in the city, and throwing some in
10 the river. Gen. Taylor, like true
American officer, gave orders to have his
army not to take the slightest article with
cut paying for it its full value.
The citizens of Matamoras were per-
nitted to transact business as usual, with
the exception of selling liquors. Com.

The Mexican Army had retreated to
Camargo. A passenger on board the
Galveston has furnished us with some
interesting details connected with intelli-
gence received by previous accounts. On
the 18th inst. a large portion of Gen. Tay-
lor's army moved up the river for the
purpose of crossing.
Gen. Taylor remained at the Fortfca-
tions with about 800 men, as the army
were seen by the Mexicans on the oppo-
site side of the river, to leave the encamp-
ment and approach the Fort.
Arista senta flag Of truce to Gen. Tay-
lor requesting an armistice of six weeks,
giving as a reason for his request, that he
desired to communicate with his Govern
ment. Gen. Taylor said that he would
give him till s o'clock the next morning
to evacuate the city of Matamoras, and
would permit him to take the public pro-
perty under his charge.
On arriving at the city, ii was discover
ed that Arista had departed with his for
ces leaving only the mounted Battery, |
all the mortars and such of the military
as could not be removed in their
haste to escape, were thrown into the
wells.

of whom were made prisoners, Ii is
