under another, gain, to the cause of freedom.
Compared with the ordinance of 1887. and with
the policy of the Government indicated by that
ordinance, it was loss-it showed retroprade
policy on the part of the Government The or
diuance consecrated the whole of the United
States territory to Freedom in the form of SOL
emn compact, not to be repealed but by the con-
sent of all the parties to it. This compromise
secured for Freedom only portion of the terri
tory belonging to the United States and this, not
by compact between them and the people and
States Of said territory, irrevocable, unless by
common consent, but by a simple declaratory act
of Congress.
Under another view, it was a substantial gain
In the acquisition Of Louisiana, in 1903, the An
tl-Slavery policy of the Government, to a great
extent, had been dlsregarded This result was,
slavery was permitted to take root, and spread
through the whole territory. The Missouri com
promise arrested its growth. While it permitted
slavery to continue in Missouri, as a sovreign
State, and in that portion of the territory south of
30 deg. 81 min, where it prevailed to a consider
able extent, it w.aSted from the power of the
Destroyer a portion of the territory north of
&c l-2 deg, nearly equal to the area of all the
States between the Atlantic and the Mississippi.
Under this aspect to this extent it was gain TO
Freedom. But this was not all. 1t was reafir-
nation, after the most portentious struggle which
has threatened the Union, of the right of the
General Government to set bonds to the extern
sion of slavery beyond its present limits, and Of
its duty to do 50.
If we include the act establishing Terrtori-
al Government in Louisiana in 1904, prohibiting
the introduction Of slaves into Louisiana, except
by citizens of the State owning the slaves, and
entering the Territory for the purpose of actual
settlement; it was the third distinct important
act of the General Government by which the
doctrine that Slavery and Liberty stand on an
equal footing in the eye of the Constitution, and
in the regards of that Government, was virtually
pronounced false and heretica

Autumn has Gene,

The seasons are beautiful illustrations of our
lives. We all have our spring of hope, our sum-
mer of JOY, happiness, growth and maturity our
fall, mixed with joy and happiness, favorable
breezes and adverse winds; our winter of gloom
and final decay.
OF all the seasons, that of Autumn we admire
most. 1t calls the vigorous mind to profound
CONCENTRATIONS. The bounties of earth are pro-
pitiously spread out before us, and we find our
selves praising God for his unmeasured good
ness. Incstmable are these habits of thought
and observation, which convert nature into the
temple of God and render all its different scenes
expressive OF the various attributes of the AL
mighty Mind 1t is now the pride and glory of
the year. The earth is covered with plenteous-
ness and the sun is pursuing like a giant his
course through the heavens, dispensing light and
ylgor over the world beneath him Are there
no classes or conditions of men, of whose char
acter and duties this season is descriptlyel Are
there no moral lessons which they who love the
Lord may gather from this season that brings the
'sere and yellow leafl
The grain that the summer ripens and fall
harvests, are but ripened and harvested to be
transplanted and yield perhaps an hundred fold
So with man: Though he dies yet shall he live
again, for death shall no longer have dominion
over him.
Autumn has Gomez and as we see all nature
works decaying we are reminded that we, too
must die The frost of death will soon Gu
down our moral bodies as the frost of autumn
has cut down the vegetable kingdom Let u:
then, ripen for the harvest, and be always read
for the reaper, Death
Autumn has Gomez; and with it the thief {
time. How many precious moments has he a
ready stolen from the last nine daysl how man
times have we passed the needy on the 'otht

Santa Anna,
BY REV. J. S. C. ABBOT.

BY kEN' J, >. T. Abbot.
There is one other tragedy, coming in the
train of diaboIical woe, which it is difficult to
condemn while we allow war to be honorable
Some two hundred men, Texans, had invaded
Mexico, with the intention of capturing Santa
Fe. They were taken captive and imprisoned.
After time they rose upon their guard, and
made a desperate attempt by the slaughter of
their guards to escape After a severe struggle
they were subdued. Santa Anna ordered them
all to be shot. By the subsequent intercession
of the United States Minister, Waddy Thomp-
son the order to shoot all was countermanded,
and another order given that they should be de-
cimated, which was executed.
During all Santa Annals military reer these
are the only charges of cruelty or severity which
have been alleged against him There is mode
of reasoning upon war which it is EXTREMITY diff
fcuit for all unsophistcated mind to appreciate.
American gentlemen, husbands and fathers, send
an army to collect a debt from some Mexican
chieftains by bombarding Vera Cruz. By day
aud by night the awful storm of bomb shells is
rained down upon the devoted city. Christian
gentlemen guide these guns and kinde these
fires of hell. Mothers and daughters fly Shrek
through the streets, and their mangled limbs are
buried beneath the ruins of their dwellings,
These shells explode in infant nurseries, by the
bedside Of languishing disease, in parorS of re-
fnement and piety Ladies have limb torn from
limb by the balls which American gentleman
fire. A large party of ladies, in the terror of
that awful bombardment, fly TO the cellar of one
of the most costly stone mansions, hoping there
to find refuge from these engines of destruction
which have demolished many of their dwellings,
and by bloody death bereaved them Of many OF
their dearest friends. The thunders of the
bombardment, the crash of the explosions OF
bomb shells, the shreks of the dying, pierce the
darkness of the cellar, and excite to frenzy Of
terror the trembling females there A she'll falls
upon the roof of the house, descends into the
cellar and explodes; and thelimbs of these moth
ers and maidens, mangled and CORY, are driven
into the walls. And this is honorable warfare;
this is Christian warfare; and the result of such
scenes is the subject for civil rejoicing, bonfire,

Autumn has come; and as winter is rapidly
coming, we shall be wise and work while the sun
Shines fill our granaries, so as to be provided
for when the storms and and darkness overtake
us.
Autumn has Gomez and with thankful hearts
we look around US, knowing that all our wants
have been supplied Praise the Lord for his low
ing kindness and tender mercies towards the
children of men.
Summer is gone, the fair young flowers
Have faded in their bloom,
And the music of the fairy bowers
Is hushd mid Autumn's gloom.
And yet the trees all goriously
Have put their mantle on
Ofgold and scarlet gorgeously,
Like banners proudly borne.
o! Autumn-thou art beautiful
For the Frost-King in his might
Hath robed the earth all fanciful
With hues of rosy light,
Our Summer life hath Autumn too,
And 'mind its waning bloom,
We wait that Spring, whose fadeess hue
Fer glows beyond the tomb

says that he replied, that as these prisoners had
caPItnlated, notwithstanding the sanguinary law
passed by the Mexican Congress that no prison.
ers should be TAKEN no quarter allowed, yet the
caPltulatlon made must be scrupulously respect
ed. The Mexican officer, however, fearing that
the prisoners would rise upon them, ordered
them all to be shot And Santa Anna never
punished the officer for this breach of faith
This is generally regarded as one of the darkest

main lines concentrating at Boston In the %
roads, S32000,000 have already been expended;
the have cost Sl6,000000, and of them have
paid dividends OF per cent the past year-the
9TH told Colony has but recently been compile
ted, and of course, could not pay so well we
believe that has paid per cent on its first year.
We give the following statement of the seven
roads ending in Boston:
Length 1913 So miles.
Cost, $lG,l37,595
Income, 1876 $2,432,5l9

Net income, or profits, Sl,24D,5l6
Miles run, l,5l0,240
Number of passengers, 31A50cO

1t will be seen that the average cost OF these
roads per mile was $4,000 or tCice the cost of
the Vermont Central road On the Western
road, the largest item Of way transportation was
beef cattle for Brighton-the freight being $685.
600, over three fourths Of which went to the
Western road, and the remainder to the Boston
and Worcester: and here is a hint to the farm

the transportation of their beef confessedly the
best in America If they would 90 into market
