REPORT or MR. KETES on THE
MEXICAN WAR.
(Contiaue6.)
apologies for tic Ucr.

The review which has now been attempt
ed, and which is fully sustained by unques-
toned authorities, conducts US 10 the impor-
tant question as to the character Of the war
in which the country is now engaged. 1t
has found partisans, who have adduced vari-
Gus reasons and apologies for it. These all
assume acts of wrong on the part Ct Mexico,
justifying the appeal TO arms. These may
be resolved into three different heads -
Alledged LnrasiOn Of tie CniLed Siaie' iy
M,rico.
The first alleges that Mexico passed the
boundary of the United States, invaded our
territory, and shed American blood on Amer
lean soil. This is completely refuted by the
facts already adduced, showing that the col
lision took place upon territory in dispute be-
tween the two governments, and in The dctu-
al possession IF Nerico. 1t was the army cf
the United States that played the part Of it,
Yaders.

other day an account Of the sailing of three
companies of the Tenth Regiment for Point
Isabel. We learn from yesterdays Courier
e. Enquirer that previous TO their embarka-
ton the troops were drawn up in a hollow
square and addressed Rev. Mr.. Nash of
Fort Hamilton in a most appropriate and
feeling manner, after which he presented a
bible and prayer book TO each officer and 10
each squad of soldiers. The books were
cheerfrlly accepted, and Col. Temple re-
sponded in terms suitable to the occasion.
This, though not quite so striking as the
services in that town Of Pennsylvania where
each soldier was presented with a bible and
a bowie knife, at the same time, is yet strik-
ing enough. 1t reminds us of John Newton
and his religious exercises while on the deck
of his ship off the coast of Africa waiting for
a cargo Of slaves. The %incongruity is quite
as great. Offensive War and Religion are
as inconsistent as Slave-trading and Religion.
TO put the Gospel of Christ into the hands
of men sent forth to fight their fellow-beings,
to STAY them and theirs, and lay waste their
country, seems almost like irony. One
would suppose that loving enemies and do
ing them good would be the last virtues to
inculcate in such a connection, as they GER
tainly are the last which War permits to be
put in practice. If il were apprehended that
the bibles and prayer-books given to these
soldiers could have their legitimate effect up
on them. no doubt they would be as CAREFUL
ly guarded against their influence as tie
Duke of Wellington guards his soldiers
against temperance societies; but it is felt
that there is no danger. The organization
and circumstances of War are so we'll able
to choke and neutralize all the spirit of the
Religion of Pence that it is safe TO daily a
little with its fotms.-H.
The present war is waged by those who
make loud professions of Christianity-by
Presbyterians, Mlethodists, Bapiists, &c.;
we give the reader a specimen of their
Christianity, and if then he has any doubts
as to their claims to the Christian name, let
him get his testament and read Chris,'s SER
mon on the mount, and then, after reading
what follows, he is fully satisfied that the
~so-called Christians of this country do not
eclipse in cruelty and blood -thirstyness the
old pagan nations, let him refer to the histo-
ry of those nations.
In speaking of the war with Mexico, an
exchange paper says:
1.-The last train which came down saw the
remains of the teamsters who were cut off
by Canales some weeks before, lying on the
roadside. From that moment they never
passed a rancho on the route without bum
ing it; they swept everything clean before
them"

A COlOred Clergyman in England.

By a communication in the (Philadelphia)
United States Gazette, we learn that the
Rev. Stephen F. Gloucester of that city, is
now in England, soliciting funds for the
building Of a church. lie seems likely 10

have a way Of thinking that there is as much
necessity for cOlored people endeavoring 60
get 10 Heaven, as white, and that in some
cases they will be much more likely 20 sue

letter from Birmingham to the London Pa
iriot, from which we make an extract.-
Were Mr.. Gloucester TO visit DIR. Patton's
church, he would be put in that rigAt-hand

Doctors heart. We have no doubt that our
Doctors Of Divinity usually carry what hearts
they have for the colored people on their

"The reception that he has met with here,
has encouraged him to persevere in endea-

Christians towards the object he has in view.
Last Lord's-day, he was introduced by the
Rev. John Angel James to his pulpit, from
whence he delivered a simple, energetic, and
affecting discourse 10 a crowded auditory,

by the minister of Cars Lane Chapel, who,
after appropriate prayers, introduced the

This paragraph has been generally under

less so intended by the writer, as a part Of it
could have been intended to apply to no
other.
If thy readers were not told by the above,
that | was a manufacturer OF patent medi-
cines-that ] made and sold pills, protesting
for them TO cure all diseases, and sold some

which | refuse to give my own-none Of
which statements are in accordance with the
facts-I should not have troubled thee with
this note of correction.
Thou probably had three objects in this
apparent DEPRESSION from the duties of a Dis
union editor. Firstly, to applaud the cold
water treatment; secondly, to discard the use
of patent medicines; and thirdly, to show
that d~isunion goes to the entire separation of
Hydyopathy from PiN-opaidy.
In relation to the latter, it would, | doubt
not, be greatly in accordance with thy de-
sires and disunion ideas, to see a perfect
uacuum along the Mason's and Dirson's line
between waier-cure and pill-drugging. |

tering intelligence on the subject. The sep.
aiation is not yet complete. In the publica-
tons accompanying my Cabinet medicines

of four distinct articles, the Whole of which
are recommended to cure, not "all," but
many diseases. They are the principal de-
pendence of my family and that of many of
my neighbcrs. The Pills are sold at % cts.

Again, as a further evidence that the dis
union mania has not yet entered this ques-
ton, may state that the health of my own

gave him TO introduce a minister, not only
from another country, but Of another color, to
an assembly Of British Christians. He re-
marked that here he would find that neither
county, nor kindred, cline, nor color, would
prevent his being cordially received and ac-
knowledged, not only as a nan and a brother,
bot as a fellow-C Christian and a minister Of
Jesus Christ.
Next Sabbath evening, he has been invit-
ed to preach for the Rev. James Roberts, in
Ebenezer Chapel and it is hoped that the
effects Of these services will extend far be-
yond the narrow limits of this town or this

Waterman Of the Valley---GO.hs and
|andalS.

In the article in the Bugle of the 10th inst,
from the "Watchman of the Valley" that
paper in speaking of the progress of the
anii-slavery cause, says
"The cause is onward-and if those who
ought to be foremost in every work of be-
nevolence-the disciples of Christ-refuse to
do their duty, deliverance will come, though
1t be from another quarter"
1t is in opposition to the efforts of the
churches, whose blood thirsty members are
here alluded to as the disciples of Christ, that
the progress of the Anti-Slavery, the Tenn
perance, the Peace, and the moral reform
movements are carried on, and true to that
policy, these churches will make capital out
OF these movements. either by opposing or
countenancing them, as the case may be-
But we are of the opinion, that those who
refuse to perform their duty cannot much
longer palm themselves off upon the honest
minded as the disciples of Christ, and when
this is the case, these advocates of Slavery,
War, &C., will make long and loud profess
sions of Abolltionism, Peace, Temperance,
and Morality but these Goths and Vandals
the bloody and cruel Shareholders and
murderers of this country, those men who
are carrying fire and sword into a neighbor-
ing republic, still, with the most brazen-
faced efirOntery, try to palm themselves of
as Christians-as the disciples of him who
taught peace and good will.
The Tribune, abiding to this class of per-
sons, says:
"How unanimous have been most sects of
Christians in supporting a custom of violence
and revenge, by which many thousands of
lives are annually sacrificed TO the ambition
of rulers! Shocking, indeed, is the thought;
but so it seems to have been. that on no one
point have Christians been smore united than
in supporting The yery ,cOrS. custom in The pa
gan WOrd-Uart :"

April Goth.

The writer of the following corrects what
was merely a typographical error; % cents
per box was by mistake printed IS cts; he
objects to the term ~cure-all pills, and we are
willing that he should have the full benefit
of that objection, as well as the community
also, who are to understand that his medi-
cines are not infallible. He draws his own
inference from our remarks, and as the woun-
ded bird %flutters, he applies the remarks TO
himself, and acknowledges that he did call
in DR.. Cope.
So far as his medicines are compounded of
materials of which the public know nothing,
and he refuses TO inform those who purchase,
so far we think at least he is Justly chargea-
BILE with triaing with the health of others,
and we think further that he ought TO be held
accountable at the bar of public opinion for
all the mischief done by medicines compoun-
ded or sold by himself when a knowledge of
the materials of which they are composed is
withheld from those induced by his recon-
mondation to use them.
We have since learned from DIR. Cope thai
in his practice in private families, when he
cannot give the patient the full benefit of the
water treatment, from lack of conveniences,
he does admit of the use of 'gentle Vegeta-
BILE Cathartics'-but if DR.. Cope should
give medicine without a knowledge of what
it is composed, we would consider him high
ly censurable. We regret that an opportu-
nifty has been afforded to advertise patent nos,
trums in a paper which from conscientious
motives has refused to advertise them hereto
fore.-s.
