From Mexico.

The army news which came to hand last
week, Of the authenticity of which there was
some doubt, has been conirmed-so say the
papers-by government dispatches. A vic
tory has been gained-fve thousand Next
cans have been butchered, while onIy one
thousand Americans have met a similar fate.
The country is In eXtacies. 1t lifts its bloody
hands toward heaven, and itnpiously thanks
God that the work of devils has been wrought
by men claiming to be christians.
We have no heart TO give the sickening
details of the honid butchery. The papers
are filled with them, and their editors, with
scarcely an exception, are exultinr, demon
Ike over the desolated homes and corse-
strown plains of Inflated Mexico. Even The
Cincinnati Herald, the Liberty party Gin
cihnati Herald, in the Telegraphic Despatch
es reported for that paper, triumphantly pro-
claims in staring capitals that ".9fer t,yo
hours Of bloody conflict, OUR GALLANT
TROOPS SWEPT EVERY THING BE-
FORE THEM, and mainly at the point Of
iHe oay ohel'
The American forces are said to have gain
ed great glory, but the glory they won must
have been, not the dazzling glory Of Heaven,
but the lurid glory Of He'll. They fought like
tigers, though for a less noble object than the
tiger fights. They have beaten the Next
cans, but the City of Mexico is not yet taken,
and thousands who hoped ere this to reveI in
the Halls of the Montezumas, have left their
bodies to rot unburied, and have gone where
those go who die with the spirit of murder
raging in their hearts.
Peace-a speedy peace is now anticipated
by some, but the conquest of Mexico is not
the conquest of peace; and though a formal
treaty may be made, doubts may well be en-
tertalned as TO the permanency OF a peace
thus won.

Sword.

1t is not unusual, especially in these days,
when the War-God is SO ardently worshipped
and Killing women and children is accounted
honorable, for distinguished persons 10 have
swords presented them. Scarcely a week
passes but we read of swords being manu-.
iactured for, or presented 10 some General,
Colonel, or Captain and they are, we be-
lleve, invariably given for the real or supposed
deXlerity of the recipient in throat-cuttinr
Although such testimonials have become
very omtnon among those who compose the
military class, we presume we are the first
and only anti-slavery editors ever presented
with a sword and, however incredulous
some of our readers may be in relation to this
matter, the sight Of it, as it hangs in our par
Tor, would do something to convince Che most
skepiical that we speak the truth. 1t was
Presented-so said the giver-as a testimo-
NAL Of his appreciation of our labors in the
cause, not of buichery, not of murder by
whatever name gilded, but the cause of hu-
man freedom, advanced, so far as our labors
have advanced it, by peaceful, moral means.
The presentation, if not as imposing, was
probably as interesting as that on a similar
occasion, when General Gushing was the re-
clplent, and to US far more SO. The do
nor-CAPTAlN LYsANDER CowLEs, Of the
AshtaJuia County Guards-was dressed in
his uniform, and the speeches, though brief.
were to the point; for the sword is in our
possession, and we assured the giver in re-
turn that we would strive to make tia weapon
OF might, that we should use it 10 bless and
not curse the world, TO save mems lives and
not destroy them. We told him of our in
tenlion to make it a preacher of peace, to
cover 1t over with Christian texts, such as
Lore your enemies" DO good 10 them
that depitefuLy use you." "Bless them that
curse you." Store My neighJor as MyseT."
g Return good for Grill" "Repay hatred With
lore" blessed are The peace MAKERS"
We are not much versed in the natural
history of swords, but if ours has a moral
character, we presume it is evangelical, in
asmuch as the donor--who, by the way. is
the fiercest war man we ever talked with
is in good and regular standing in an evan
gelical church. 1t looks very evangelical as
1t hangs yonder in the corner, but not very
christian; and we had some thoughts of try
ing to get a set of slave shackles to hang IN
beside it, that they might together represent
the religion of this land. But till some one
sends us the shackles, which we fear will be
good while yet, we will make it do duty as
at first proposed, though even we subject it
to the risk of being denounced as an infdel
instrument; for its adoption of peace mot
toes, and its devotion to that cause will pro-
induce the religionists of the land TO
prescribe it as such, and lament lis apostacv
from the true faith of bulchery and blood
We hope, however, they will not injure its
or render its rebukes the less pointed.
Its conversion TO a peace instrument, we
rust, is permanent, and that it will accom-
nlish much good.

Now it deserves TO be remarked, that none Of
the crowd Of colofed people, assembled al
the Courthouse, made any attempt to pre-
vent the removal Of the colored man, SO mo
we'd TO be the property Of Mr.. Hollingsworth,
They suffered him to be carried away with
out any interference. But the woman and
little %girl,--the wife and child-about 10 he
dragged away by mere force, without anv
form OF law, and without any evidence of ii.
~tie,-these, appealing to those laws Of nature
which NJ human enactment can repeal, arou-
sed the very best feelings Of those moor peo-
pie, and they accepted the issue which Mr..
Kennedy rendered them,--they rave blow for
blow, they resisted violence with violence.
and now, standing before the Court. con.
demned for breach Of the public peace, they
are treated as if they were ielons, and receive
a sentence severe enough for the punishment
Of an act in It's own nature criminal and mex.
cusable.
The laws Of the country, as construed BY
a pro-sidvety tribunal, gave Mr.. Kennedy
the right 10 recaptute this wife and child by
naked force. The law Of nature gave these
eleven colored people the right to rescue
them. 10 doing this they violated the pub.
lie peace. But is there nothing due to per-
sons so circumslancedl Must nothing be
conceded TO feelings which are right, true.
human, and even laudablc, and absolutely ir.
resistible in spite of law? Well, they are
sentenced, and, it may be, all the more Sc.
verely that Professor McClintock was acouit-
ted. Judge Hepburn has credit on the book
account which the South keeps open with
the North for so much zeal and devotion 10
their interests. A few of the feeble ones are
crushed, a few more intimidated, and kid
nappers and slave catchers so far encourared.
But, men who never thought upon the points
involved before, will look deeper than the
surface,-deeper than legal decisions and
will settle the question in their hearts, deci-
ding il by the rules which conscience and
humanity dictate, and the result will be dis
grace and defeat to the oppressors of their
fellow men. What avaiIs it to punish a do

Small Business.

A Liberty party Convention recently held
in Xenia, adopted the following preamble and
resolutions +;
Whereas, II has been represented to this
Convention that at the time when the students
OF the Colored High School Of Cincinnati,
under the care of Mr.. Gilmore, exhibited at
Xenia, Mr.. Walker and other abolitionists of
the Garrison School attended, and Mr.. Walk
er, IN a public speech, used language, in the
opinion of some, savoring Of infdelity, thus
giving offence TO serious Christians. There
fore,
ReS0lyed, That although as abolitionists
we meddle not with creeds and confessions,
we solennly protest against any thing and
every thing derogatory to the Christian reli-
glon, and have no sympathy with men or par
lles who treat with dlsrespect, such an ines
Unable blessing.
HeSo'red, That although we have no con-
nection with what is called the Garrison par
~, yet we are free TO give them credit for
laborlng with commendable zeal that the yoke
may be broken and the oppressed 10 free,
and express the hope that in future, they will
give no just cause Of offence to the Jew, the
GENTLE, nor the Church.
We suppose the /" serious christians" who
took offence at our friend Walkers exposure
OF the corruption of the church organizations
OF which they form a part, will feel under
vast obligations to the Liberty party conven-
ton aforesaid, for the aid and comfort its
members are disposed 10 bestow upon them,
and will even perhqps vote the ticket nominal
ted by the party.

pronounce them base ISLANDERS; not manly,
openly asserted ISLANDERS, but sneakingly in
simulated ones. Will the men who voted for
them dare say that at the meeting referred to,
James w. Walker treated the Christian reli-
gion with disrespect? We demand proof Of
the charge they have insinuated. They are
exceedingly DESTROYS that no one may give
offence TO the church, but can themselves con-
coct falsehoods and palm them off under a
pretended love for truth and the Christian re-
ligion. Out upon such despicable means to
build up the fortunes of a sinking party =
Why in the name Of consistency do not these
political grimalkins denounce the Unitarians
inasmuch as they "give offence 10 serious
Christians" of the Evangelical school? Why
do they not condemn the Orthodox who "give
offence to serious Christians of the Unita-
rian faith Simply because it would not be
popular so to do; but it is popular TO denounce
Disunionists.

1t will be seen by an article from the Lib
orator, that this devoted friend of human
rights has returned to his family and home.
During his five years s%ojourn in Europe he.
has been unliring in his labors for the redemp-
ton Of man from the evil of his ways, and
the opposition he met from the advo-
Gates of War, Intemperance and Slavery give
abundant evidence of his zeal and faithful
ness. Right glad we should be, il, after a
season of rest, he should feel called upon TO-
extend his field oflabor to the grea, West.

OK 1t will be seen by a call in another
column, that s. s. Foster desires to convene
the anli-slavery friends at Randolph for the
purpose of discussing a question which he re-
CARDS OF much importance. The day chosen
for the meeting is the same as that upon
which a Peace Convention will assemble at
that place. We suppose that when he learns
this fact, he and the Peace friends will make
such arrangements as will accommodate those
who wish 10 attend both meetings.

ded that the Mexican. Congress shall 1eas-
rembIe. Among other rumors it is said that
Santa Anna has moved towards Pueblo
With 2O1O horses, and that Parades is rails

States of Jalisco. We have little faith in
these details.
One of La Patrid's rumors is that Gen.
Rea had entered Puebla with 5000 men, and
that the American commandant has been
compelled to lombard the town from the
heights by which he commands it. We
shall not yield credence to this rumor till we
have it confirmed.

to harrass our trains we believe it will be
found advisable to occupy the most eligible
