Who is Responsible!

The New York Tribune publishes 4 letter
from an Ohio correspondent relative To the
war, Gen. Taylor, and the Presidency, in
reply to which, the editor enters into a argu-
ment to prove that Gen. Taylor should not
be held accountable for the part he has Iaken
in prosecuting the war, for prosritutIug his
powers and lending his influence to overrun
Mexican territory, aud XIII Mexican men,
women, and children. In support of its
position, the Tribune draws the following
parallel:
1--WE loathe the Judicial infiction of Death
by human laws and tribunals; 50 does our
friend the late Wing Sheriff Of our city,
And yet that friend accepted the Office of
Sheriff, knowing well that it might and pgo-
badly would impose on him the duty OF exc
cu;iug ole or more criminals he tUas reGuir-
ed 10 execute one or more, and did it.. lie

no: the State KILLED them; those who uphold
Capital Punishment killed them-not the
Sheriff who, as the chosen minister Of the
Law, did what the Law enjOined. We
think the case of Gen. Taylor and the slaugn-
ter ot the MeXlcdns not materially dllIer-

We agree with the Tribrne that the case
Of Gen. Taylor and the slaughter Of the Mex
leans is not materially different from that OF
the Wing Sheriff Of New York helping TO kill
one or more poor wrelches, only that it is on
a larger scale, and if the Nervousness of crime
is affected by lis magnitude, requires soverer
retibution, and more express detestation.-
We are not surprised 10 hear that Mr.. Gree
ley, as well as the Wing Sheriff Of New
York, loathe the judicial infection Of death;
but we are surprised to learn that the morali-
ty of those gentlemen hangs so loosely about
them, that the one is willing TO lend himself

cerned, is murder and nothing but murder,

The OLD SCEooL GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
This body met in Richmond, Virginia. and
at the last adviceS was still in session. Last
year it met in Louisville, Kentucky. II
seems 10 find something CONCEAL to lis ma
lure in a slaveholding region. No action has
been taken on the subject Of slavery, the de-
cision Of IS45-which was highly favorable
to the Slaveholdlng members Of the body
being deemed all sufficient. But the subject
has not escaped altogether without notice.
but such notice.
1t appears that the usual letters were re-
ceived from the Scotch and Irish General
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with which the Assem-
bly, is in correspondence. These letters were
referred without reading to a committe to be
answered. When the answers were reported
the reading Of the original letters was called
for, but was refused on the ground that they
were not fit 10 be read before that community.
They were fail of rank abolition. and it WAS
urged HAT if they were entertained 81 far as
to be read. a false and injurious impression
would be made upon the community in re-
gard 10 the character of the General Assem-
bly,. The next day, however, the Assembly
seemed a little ashamed Of the course they
had pursued, and deemed it best to have the
letters read; but they took care by the com
ments ofindividual members TO do what was
in their power to neutralize their effect. The
Irish letter was most severely censdred. Its
use OF the words ''man-siPalers," ''robhers,"
&c., was considered highly indecorous and
unchristian. One member thought that this
was a most ungratrful return for the gene
rous liberality which had heen EXTENDED 10
the starving people Of that %country. The an
swer to this letter declined any further dis.
cussion Of the slavery question in any future
correspondence. The letter Of the Scotch
church (the Free,) was considered much
more courteous and great praise was award

The Slave Orator.

The speech of Frederick Douglass, at the
Anniversary Of the American A~n,i-Slavery
Society. in New York, is justly regarded as
a remarkable production. Eight years ago
its author was a toillng slave on a Maryland
pIdnlation-the mere chattel personal OF lis
owner. Yet, Ibis mans speech, as given in
the New York Tribune, by a literal and ex-
act reporter, as a mere literary production,
will compare favorably with the best address
ses of the ablest Of the scholars aud doctors
of divinity who took part in the late religious
anniversaries. We might take exceptions
10 one or W passages, but, as a whole, it is
a noble refutaiion OF the charge OF natural in
ferlority urged against the colored man.

Honor To THOMAS CoRwIN.-A cores
pondent of the New Orleans Delta, writing
from Mexico, says:
BY the way, Hon. Thomas Corwin was
burnt in efigy by "a large and respectable
convocation of the boys, a few nights since,
with very strong and unequivocal symptoms
of disapprobation. A great many prIyers,
intended for the honorable Senator'S benefit,
were put up on the occasion. We are sorry
to be compelled to remark that their peculiar
character is hit off in a popular little tract en-
titled "The Swearer's Prayer"
We suppose these "boys'' thoughts as iheiI
father, the Devil, could not procure Corwin':
body to burn, they, as duli(ul children, mus
burn him in eGigy. Poor deluded, misgui
ded fellows! not to know they were thus
honoring the man whose name they wished
10 make Infamous.

DEMOCRACY IN THE GRANITE SrArE.-
The members Of the Democratic party are re-
joicing in what they call the re-estabIishment
Of Democracy in New-Hampshire, where it
appears they recently succeeded in eIecting
the Speaker Of the House of Representatives
by a majority of l3 votes. Such a result a
twelvemonth since would have been a very
different affair to what it now is. They then
staked their hopes Of success upon the pro-
slavery character of their party. Their de-
Votion to Southern interests was the cause If
their defeat. They felt it to be so, and the
Democracy Of New HamT shire makes a far
higher antl-slavtry profession in 1917 than il
did in 1916. The contemplate part played
by Colonel Cllley probably helped them lc
regain their lost power.
We perceive from an analysis Of the votes
was named as - the abolition candidate " re
ceived one role! From this we necessarily
infer one of two things either that Liberty
party's Representatives are reduced from tn,
half dozen or dozen Of last year, to one, o
else, that they have become SO progressive as
TO vote with the Wings or Democrats. Itis
probable however, that some of the more gif
ted Of that party can so explain this little at
fair as to make it appear a party triumph.

Tie Slave Trade.

The following paragraph is from II late
number Of The Liverpool Mercury.
"rho Cygnet, 6, Commodore p. II. Som
mervilie, arrived at Spithead, on Saturday
from the coast Of Africa station, where she
had been employed during the past three
years, aiding in The suppression Of the slave
trade. She left Sierra Leone on the 10Th Of
February. She has captured 1860 slaves,
and l9 vessels. Is Of which were condemned
ard she has heen healthy the whole time she
has been upon the coast. The slave trade
was going on bri>k|y notwilhsta nding the
vigilence Of the cruisers, and it was pretty
broadly hinted that the American cruisers
favored the %slavers. When the Cygnet left,
there was lying Oft Cape Mount a large bar
que, with the stripes and stars flying, COM
manded 10y a daring fellow named Canot.-
This vessel was n most suspicious looking
craft, fitted with three decks, capable OF car
rying 2000 slaves. The Cygnet is the only
vessel which has captured a SLAYER On The
Slerre Leone station Tor eighteen months, and
she was a rich prize, with $50 persons on
board. Letters ny The Cygnet enable us to
contradict the report published in the Corl
Constitution, as TO the alleged massacre O
200O negroes in a slave depot at Gallinas.-

(NEw SCHooL.)-This body met in Gin
cinnatl by adjournment, but owing to a con-
lraricty Of opinion which had sprung up
since the LIST meeting as to the cousli,u;iOnal-
iiy OF holding such an adjourned meeting,
the Impression gained ground that no busi-
ness would probably BE- iooe and tina, the AS

but a small number Of delegates therefore
were In ate ndanCe-some SIXTY or seyt My
and but litle business ofimpoftance Transact
ed. We have seen only Imperfect reports Of
the proceedings, but enough 10 observe that
the subject of slavery was refused to be en-.
tertaiued on the ground that the Assembly
had already acted upon it, and that it could
only come up On a vote of twn-thirds ior re-
consideration. In the course Of The meeting
an attempt was made to get the action of the
Assembly on Il specific point relating 10 the
subject, but the moderator, DR.. Cox, ruled
that not only the general subject of slavery,
but every thing relating to it was precluded
by the above mentioned action of the house.
Against this Jecisinn of the chair Mr.. Bush
nell took an appeal which was negaiived by
a vote Of % to %. The Assembly was only
in session three or four days. We notice
that a meeting was about 10 be held in Cin-
cincinnati for the formation ofan .lnti-Sipyt-
RI Presbyterian Church aud a new General

hopelessness, in the view Of those who are
active in it,. Of the task Of returning the old

,riguing tour for electioneering purposes, but
as the representative of a State, demanding
Constitutional justice for old Massachusetts !
Aye, and did she not threaten him with a

her advice! And yet Massachusetts, like a
sick child compelled to take a dose OF nausc-
Gus medicine, swallows down the insult Of
fcred her in the person of Samuel Hoar, and
smacks her lips over the sugar plum compli-
ment which Charleston afterward pays to
Daniel Webster.
