in overtaking him.
The advanced guard of ''Rough and Resdy's'
force overlook Urea and Canales in full retreat near
the pass of lula. and Immediately engaged them.
They unwilling at first, but were soon forced
to fight.
The battle was fercely contested for seren hours
between the vanguard and the whole force under
Urea, when, at this juncture, Gen. Taylor arrived
with the remainder of his force, and the battle be-
came general
In this, in all the previous battles, the numerical
superiority of the Mexicans great; but notwth-

ried every thing before him, and defeated them with
great slaughter. The Mexicans were totally defeated
and fled in utter disorder.

slavery, where long continued, would wither
and waste the power, and step the growth of any
State which Upheld it. We desire to show Lor
this operates, necessarily, upon large class Of
our citizens-upcn :hose non-slave holders who
labor, and live by labor, whether mechanics or
farmers, or every day workmen.
Why is it that so many Of this class, native
born, quit kentucky How comes il, that we help
to swell the numbers, and increase the wealth of
the North West, and yet every two years, find
the decennial increase of population dminish-

questions worth neutrality-suspicious. which

us see if we can solve them as regards the la
boring class.
LIST. Where slavery exists, labor is not respec-
ted as II should be.
One Of the most fearful effects of slavery, is,
that il stamps labor with dsboner. II is thought
slavish. True, we find mechanics who are great
enough to rise above this prejudice; to do their
duty amid the most trying difficulties. True,
also, is 1t, that we have planters brave ond just
men, who toll by the side of their slaves, and
teach their children TO toll as they do. But
these arc exceptions to the general rule. The
general effect Of slavery, is to make labor sls.
