We give in another column the particulars of
the siege and bombardment of Vera Cruz. We
read the account of this affair with hardly any
interest until we came to the words,
6 THE number Of 0omen and children kidedwaS
cariOusiy stated at from 500 to 2000p
These seemed to us sad "as any words that ev-
er blotted paper" We do not mean to say that
our troops being once there and in position, de-
termincd to take city and castle, departed in any
way from the usages of war but it seemed to
US to give new coloring to our conquest, new
tinge to the glare of victory, When the strong
man i'll the flush of battle was laid low, and the
plumed captain and the mailed ranks fell like
the grass before the scythe, then it seemed as if
each one had met the due need of his own mer-
it, the Just punishment of his folly; but when
the innocent babe and its mother, and the de-
fenceless maiden are the victims, there snought
that may interpose to hide the hue of the bloody
scene. Above the thunder of victory and the
tramp of rejoicing armies, going farther than the
scream of the fife and the blare of the trumpet
rises the wall of children and the mother, like
the " still small voice" i'll which was the great
and terrible God.
We sincerely hope that it may prove that the
number of these helpless slaughtered ones may
be exaggerated, but in any way it is sad thing
to dwell upon. For conquest, for the lust Of
power, for the unholy creed of fame, we have
done all these things, and for the purpose of ex.
tending that which in itself is greater curse
even than war, Let it be remembered that for
the sake of Slavery this government has killed
by the hand of its arms 500 aO0men and children
Let not the blood of these innocent ones sink
into the ground unavaiIing, but by the love each
one bears for the mother who bore him, or for
the child of his love- let him lift up his voice
against this war. When he looks in gladness at
the carnation on his infants cheek and the ruby
of his Iip-when he gazes in reverence on tho
silver hairs of his mother, and thinks of the love
he bears towards his wifc-Iet him remembe
that the carnation of other cheeks must be gath
cred and the ruby plucked from other lips to form
the chaplet of glory; that such silver hairs mus
be dabbled in blood, and such love be broken
because wicked men bear sway.

Slavery and Missions,

The almost mpregnable barriers which slavery op-
poses to the spread of the gospel at last beginning
to receive attention in the right quarter. The Home
Missionary for May has several extracts of letters from
missionaries showing the effect of this iniquitous sys
TEN in retardng the progress of the gospel The fol-
lowing is a specimen:
g" The agricultural system pursued at the South
causes large bodies of land to be held by few propri-
etos, who thus thrown too far apart to allow OF
those compact neghborhoods universal in other parts
of the United States. The population is consequently
sparse there are few villages and the artist, the
manufacturer the mechanic the free aborer are to
degree excluded. The history of the church shows
that it is mainly in these industrious classes that the
Gospel fourishes most From the same fact of scat
tered population, results great want OF schools and
instruction of children. The children of shareholders
being raised in what is called Singh life" are eduCa-
ted If at ALL by private tutors, sent to high schools
in the cities and towns. The operatives, being slaves,
are not educated. Hence, the STAKEHOLDER feels little
no interest in sustaining neighborhood schools
The system tending to monopoly of the land, the
other portion of the neighborhood are unable to send
their children away to expensive schools, or to main
tan without the aid of the landhoders schools at con-
venent distance hence their children have to do with
little or no education. Accordingly, it said, that
there are in Kentucky $4,000 white persons, over 20
years of age who are unable to read in Virginia, S.,
600; in North Carolina, 55,0OO &c.-besides the
slaves who may be regarded as all in this condition
The effect of this is not only in the small number
of men who enter the ministry, the comparative rarity
of authors who natives and residents of the South
and in dependence the free States for preach
ers and teachers; but also in the fact that free
school system has fourished here, and conse-
Quenty the children of the poor man uneducated
Thus the fountains of the church, the springs of early
religious knowledge and piety, are dried up Result
ing from this state of society, churches are few and
feeble because in given district of convenient size
it is that there persons of sufficient integ-
ence and means to sustain them efficiently In all
this, no account is made of the effect which the habit
of uncontrolled sway has on the moral slate Of The
master himself and on his family in uniting them fol
the subsection OF the whole soul to the authority of God
One more deporabe fact may be here mentioned
and that is that this system has exiled from among Us
to The free States, many of our best ministers They
could not sustain the conflict between their conscence
and the apparent necessity that virtually sealed the

Gen, Taylor and the Northern Wings,

We are glad to see that no nconsderable por-
ton of the Northern Wing press are speaking
out in decideded reprobation of the attempt to
thrust another slaveholding President upon this
country in the person of Gen Taylor. Some of
the Ohio papers especially, are meeting this ques-
ton manfulIy. We commend to anti-slavery
men of all parties the following, from the Cleave-
land (Ohlo) True Democrat; aWhig paper pub
lished in Mr.. Gidding's District, and supposed
to represent his views. The article is i'll reply
to some remarks in the cleveland Herald, a
Wing paper also the Herald having said that
"but two papers claiming to be any part Wing
had yet avowed decided opposition to Gen. Tay-
lor" To which the "True Democrat" thus re-
joins =
eff after having denounced slavery and its
extension, and published articles to stir up the
people of the North to maintain their rights
and resist encroachments of the slave power, and
after having declared our determination not to
support another Shareholder, we must be turned
about by little hurra raised about military glory
be hUShed to silence in our opposition to slavery
throw up our cap in favor of slaveholding mil
tary cheftain for the Presidency, and thus stem
the tide of freedom-lf this is necessary to con
stitute us in part or in whOLe Wing, we cove
not the name. When zoe have denounced SLAYER,
We have meant it. When ace have rallied the
North to maintain their rights, we have neve
intended to desert in the hour of hiaL-Om
Whiglsm not weathercock to be turned abou
by every shifting wind With us, it comprehend
the doctrine that all men are born equal, ant
have an inalienable right to life, liberty, and thu
pursuit of happiness. These principles are IN
changing, and ne shall adhere as unchangeab
to them We are not new born babes in tn
Wing party-'Oe are not a brood hatched at tn
eleventh hour. We were full grown and ha
fought many hard battle, and triumphed too
when those who would put us down as 'par

we have asked ourselves why we Shout

shot ID an man who has the least particle
love for freedom Suppose that all these paper
enumerated by the Herald do support Gen. Ia,
lor, is that any reason why we should desert OF
principles and do so! Ought we not to stan

principles formed for the day of trial Suppose
there is this Spontaneous uprising of the press
and people" that the Herald talks about must
we contribute gas, and leap on board the car, and
take balloon ascent But there is no sucf
uprising of the people Leaving the floating
scum Of the cities, ever in tumult the people
are calm and undsturbed, except now and theT
opening their eyes in amazement at the somerset'
of some of the unstable presses"
In a subsequent article the same paper contn
ues the subject =
"a crisis is at hand in the Wing party. The
tares and wheat are to be separated. Those who
are at heart the friends of Liberty and those wh'
only speak we'll of it as policy dictates, will be
marked. The nomination of Taylor will draw
dividing line. There is body in the VIII!
party that never bowed the knee to Baal "a rem
nant, it may be, but true as steel, and they will
never vote for Taylor undcr any circumstances
other than that he strike the chains from of hi
sLaUes, and avow himself the UNCoMPROMIsINC
ENEMY OF THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY"

Monthly Concert for May,

The concert for May was held at Park street
church, last Sabbath evening. The evening was
very rainy, and consequently but few persons
were present We learn that no intelligence OF
a very stirring nature was communicated. The
most interesting fact presented, was, an account
of the triumphant death of native preacher
Aplsaghom, the pastor of the Evangelical Arme-
mans of ConstantinopIe The following facts
were also stated respecting Greece and the Mes
torians -
GREEoE.-Letters from Mr. King, dated the
18th and both Of January, bring the pleasing in
telligence that the fierce persecution, which he
has been suffering for the truths sake, has at
length entirely subsidized. He is now able to 90
about Athens freely, and to converse with people
on the subject of religion Several young men
students in the University, attend Mr. King;
preaching on Sundays; and several person;
have already expressed their full conviction Of
the truths which he breaches and for which he
suffered so much.
NEsToRIANs.-The work of revival which has
so long been in progress, in this ancient and in
teresting church, has not disappointed the hopes
of the missionaries. They write that in about
eight months after the work of revival began
there was good reason to hope and believe thai
one Hundred and fifty HISTORIANS have passed
from death to life.

Northern DOughfaccS,

This sketch, by the New York Evening Post,
of Northern Doughfaces, in its vigor and fidelity
is fit to hang as pendant to Leggett's famous
sketch of the old Albany Regency:
"A set of men who live only in the sunshine Of
power; who take their opinions from executive
organs ; who oppose the Wllmot Proviso to-day
because the administration disapproves and
who whould support it with equal vigor to-mor-
row, if their file leader winked the other way
who, though Graded in the free States, have no
idea of the dignity of freedom who cannot plead
even the miserable excuse of ignorance or con-
sistency in error; but vacillating, timid, and
irresolute, demagogues to their constituents, sy-
cophants to the federal executive, parasites eve
rywhere, misreprescnting the north, despised by
the south, bask for a few brief hours in the light
of executive favor, and perish covering them
selves with ignominy, and the free States witt
disgrace"
