The intermcnt, at Frankfort, Of the young
soldiers who had fallen at Buena Vista was sol
emn and imposing, and Mir. BR~EcKGNRpGr's
funeral address, opposite and eloquent.
And mourners were therel HENRY CLAY,
with the young children of his dead son, Mrs.
MCKEE, the noble wife ola brave husband, and
Mrs. VAUGHAN, The young bride Of the intrepid
Adjutant, wept, amid the show of pageantry, as
the remains, of the loved and lost, were put in
their narrow, earthly bed, 1t was Il sad sight
Age and young childhood, and woman's tender
ness, were bowed down, that day, as they gazed
with wet eyes, and worn hearts, for the last
time, upon all that remained Of father husband
son. May heaven temper the loss, and make
them feel that there is no consolation except
that which cometh from above!
As one may have gazed over the beautiful
burial ground, and seen the mighty throng gath
ering to pay the last honors to the dead, and wit
ness its sympathy as the orator spoke of their
virtues and their deeds, and its exprcssiyc silence
when the clods of earth, sounding clear, vet hol-
low, fell upon their coiins-couid he have help
ed turning toward that bitter curse of nations,
war, and realizing, then and there, that the liv-
ing God never decrecd, that man should shed
the blood of man? The fathers sorrow, the
widows anguish, young childhood's tears, must
have told him this His own hearts true SYM
pathy made him know it.
Yet as thus these kindred mourned, thousands
like them have mourned in our own land, and
Mexicol Aye, tens of thousands And is it for
this that Governments are established Was it
for these bloody deeds that society is ORGANIZED 2
Can the gospel be preached tospread this human
butchery! No! no! There was not a human
heart, at Frankfort, that would not have said,
all Mexico was not worth one of the lives of our
brave citizens, and that no victory could COM
pensate for their loss, or the bleeding anguish Of
kindred friends over it.
Let our voice, then, be for peace! Let us
learn to love our neighbor as ourselves

This good brother is no more. 1t is painful
to announce the death of one so gifted-so noble
one ofthe earliest and most powerful advocates
of Human Liberty in our country. But Gods
ways are not our our ways" lie died on Thurs
day night Of last week at the residence of the
Rev. E. d. Moore in Roxbury, at which place on
Monday morning appropriate funeral ceremonies
were performed, after which his remains we're
deposited in Mount Auburn. Throughout his
protracted sickness faith alone sustained him.
He could lift up his heart and say-"I know that
nv edeemer liyeth.' When informed that he
could not survive till morning, he exclaimed, y

Mr. Phelps returned a short time since from
the West Indies, where he spent the last winter
for the benefit Of his health. lie had been long
affected with a pulmonary complaint, which re-
suited in his death at the early age of 43.
He was extensively known and beloved; and
was distinguished for his kind and dignitied de-
portment-his arduous labors as a minister Of
Christ-his able lectures in behalf of the down
trodden slave, and as a writer Of great c~lcarneSs
and power.

Boston Daily Alias a prominent wing paper, for its
"unwarranted severity upon Gen. Taylor's letter and
position" and this, too, no. for the election of the Tay-
lor after he has been placed in nomination by conven-
ton or committee, but in advance Of these movements,
preparing The lcay for such q nomination. The Bdl-
nington Banner another whig paperof Vermont also
has the name of Taylor hoisted as the candidate for the
presidency. Two then, of the wing papers of our
state, where "the very air from our mountain tops
broaths freedom to all" are out for such a man to rule
over us, while one alone raises the uoice Of remons-
trance against it.
Alas for the anti slavery wings Of Vermont, and Of
the North! AS we feared 'twould be, so it proves

idea,but their fair pledges and anttslavepy professions

support.
Shame on such professions, such degrading lypoc-

0minOgs Of GO0d,

Is It not SO, that those who have remained rather
cool about hearing and reading and knowing the prin-
ciplcs of the LIBERTY PARTY, and those facts
which call those principles into exercise, when they
chance to learn something upon the subject, and yet
are not willing to own themselves convinced that we
are right, instead Of attacking what. they hear and see
and read, level their shafts against the speaker, or the
author? If what a man says is unreasonable, the
man himself is not perfect, ale is a clever man"
they say a good ~n5ighbor, and pretty good about ey-
cry thing except politics; but very erroneous in be.
longing to, or acting with, the Liberty Party. There
is some inconsistency between his present and past
conduct. Something is the matter with him.. He is
not entitled to full confidence in his political move
ments."
When the Hon. John P. Hale addressed the people
in Woodstock, and wh0the said was unanswerable as
pointing out the evils Of slavery, and its dire effect
upon our national interests, and the way and manner
in which it is supported by the people of the North
who are nearly crushed by its weight, something
must be the matter with Mr.. Hale, himself. He can't
be so perfect as he appears to be. "Why really, they
say" so says the Age, when an anti-slavery lecturer
first exhibited in his town, he was violently opposed to
his l~octrring, and uttered strong expressions of dislike,
and took measures to discourage such lectures The
Age appears not to r|ccolect one Or two things of i'm
p%ortance. One is that the Liberty Party have nothing
to make Liberty men Of but these who are, Or have
been, either wings or democrats, and, Of couse, actual
or virtual, opposers of all anti-slayery movements
Bat when they get their eyes open, and see the evils
into the right path, they become very good Liberty men,
The Age lorgets what a great sinner and blasphem-
er Paul was, and continued to be till the light burst
upon him SO suddenly, and so powerfully, that it strnck
him with blindness for a season. But when the scales
fell from his eyes, he saw his former error, and became
an excellent apostle. God, in his ordinary Providence,
uses nothing but sinners to make saints of. Now
what a strange state oimind would be indicated if we,
instead ofrejoicing that A, B g. {, among the erring
children Of men, had forsaken their errors, and be-
come pious, worthy citizens, should upbraid them with
their former errors, and tell how inconsistent their
present course is with their former course,
Now, if the Age, or any of our citizens, can exhib-
it any just criticism upon what is said, or printed, or
can give any light by allusion to fact upon the same
subject, let that be done freely and faithfully. True
light is what is wanted. But We do ask that If any
attack is made, let it be upon the subject, not upon the
speaker or author, We should roccollect it possible
that good may come out of Nazareth" MENTOR.

THEN AND Now.-In years gone by a lady
was educated for a wife and a companion. The
times have changed. A wife and companion are
educated for a lady. Once a female was never
thought fit for thcmarried state, unless she could
make bread, wash, knit and darn. With these
accomplishments now, she seems to be discard
ed. Then a woman took her knitting work with
her when she visited. Now she takes her gold
rings and her fan,
UNCLE SANS CASH Accountable N. Y.

"Uncle SAM Cash Account by which it is made
to appear, and pretty clearly too, that the def

The largest farm in Vermont, is said to be

south of Burlington. This year he will NOW over
500 acres and cut 1000 tons of hay. He keeps
300 sheep and he has now 400 head ofneet cattle.
A few days ago he sold fat oxen enough to a.

Two Sided AGAIN..

It is not a little pleasing to mark the mcanderings
Of the great political aspirant, Henry CLAY, in order
that he may secure and continue to hold the favor of
both the South and the North. lie seems ever to have
two phases; one decidedly fayorableto the South, unx-
ious for their interests, and theirs alone, while he as
sumes another equally prooitious to Northern men and
Northern enterprise, We had supposed that having
retired from public life, and there being no possible
chance now for hin ever to occupy tie Presidential
chair, he would settle down, and content himself with
appearing Just what he is and ever has been, a South
ern man with Southern principles; but we find him to
be doujic phi-et still. 1t will be remembered that last
winter, in u brief "NVar Speech at New Orleans, he
remarked as follows:
"When 7 saw around me tonight Gen. Brooke and
other old friends, felt half inclined to ask for some
little nook or corner in the army, in which | might
serve in a|ycnging the wrongs to my country, have
thought that might be able to capture or Stay a Mex.
lean. | shall not be able to do so however this year
But having occasion recently to address some of the
citizens Of Maine, in the acknowledgement of somc
scythos which were presented him, he writes thus:
ayes! gentlemen, | certainly concur with you in dep
r~ccating the Mexican war, the causes which brough
it about, and the manner Of its commencement.
l sincerely wish that every bayonet and sword en-
pIoycd in its prosecution, by both bcligcrcnts, wor
converted into scythcs, plough-shears, and axes, anl
they dedicated to their respective uses in the innocen
and peaceful arts Of lho."
Could Mr.. Clay have his wishes met in the latter in
stance, we can hardly conceive what he would dc
should they be gratiied as expressed nj the first 70
to devote himself to the work of staying Mexican
