lister on foreign affairs in communication from
the governor of State of Mexico, dated at To-
lucca, (the capital of that State, and about 40
miles southeast of the city of Mexico,) Aug
26. The governor enlarges on the sentiments
contained in the protest, speaks of the efforts
made by the people to raise and equip an ar
my, which, had there been chief worthy TO
command it, would have been victorious: and
finishes by declaring that the war must be con-
tinued till peace can be made with dignity and
honor and such peace as will be approved
by just and generous men throughout the
world
Then follows an address, from the same gov
ernor, exhorting the people to continue the
war; reminding them of their ten years war
with Spain, and under more adverse circum-
stances. and telling them that a war for an
other ten years, or for one hundred years, would
be preferable to ignominy.

SrooD ON HER PosITIoN.-The following cir
cumstance, which occurred recently in our
community, is the greatest example of an as
sertion of position that we have ever heard of.
A divine-we need not say who, suffice it that
he is an eminently good man of our city-call-
ed recently to see a sick lady belonging TO his
church. Said lady had been very kindly at
tended, during her illness, by female cousin,
who was also member of the same congrega-
ton. The minister prayed with the afflicted
one, and being cognizant of the kindness of the
cousin, he besought the Lord, in his prayer, to
bless his servant, who had, in SO kind and
Christian manner, watched over the afflicted
lady. The cousin Withdrew, forthwith, from
his congregation, asserting, at the same time,
that she would let him know she wasn't any
body's serUantl-.St. Louis RcUeilIe.

THE LIP AND THE HEART.
BY ]. Q. ADAMS.

BY j. Q. ADAMS.
One day between the Lip and Heart
A wordless strife arose,
Which was expertest in the art
His purpose TO disclose.
The Lip called fol til his vassal Tongue,
And made him vouch; lie!
This slave his servile anthem sung,
And braved the listening sky.
The heart TO speak, in vain essayed,
Nor could his purpose reach;
His will, nor voice, nor tongue obeyed;
His silence was his speech. ...f-e
Mark thou their difference, child Of earth!
While each performs his part9
Not all the Lip can speak, is worth
The silence of the Heari.

LAW AGAINST SEDUCTIoN.-The Pennsylvan-
ia law for the punishment of seduction makes
it necessary for the offence to be committed un-
der the following circumstances:
1. There must be an actual seduction of the
female by the male.
2. The female must be under the age of TWEEN
ty-onc years
g. She must be of good reputation.
4. The seduction must have been accom-
plished by means Of promise of marriage;
and,
5. Such promise of marriage must be proved
by other witnesses than the female so seduced.
This law appears to be well guarded, but we
imagine it will rarely take effect A public
sentiment which should brand the seducer as
the present does the seduced, would be worth
hundred such laws.

WING CoNvENTIoN In MAssAcHUsErTs.-W
learn from the Louisville Journal that this body
nominated the Hon. George N. Briggs and Jno.
Reed as the Wing candidates for the offices of
Governor and Sieut. Governor.
After these nominations had been adopted,
motion was made in favor ofnominating can
didates for President and Vice President of the
United States, which was laid on the table by
a vote Of 2l3 to 232.
The Hon. Daniel Webster made a speech'
and defined his position on the Mexican war
and slavery questions. He was in favor of the
Wilmot proviso, and also of Congress voting
supplies to the army and for the war.
The resolutions of the convention, which
were adoptedunanimously, were strong against
the Mexican war and slavery. The last two
related to Mr.. Webster; the first speaking in
his praise, and the second recommending him
to the Whig national convention as the first
choice Of Massachusetts, for President Of
the United States.
The Hon. John G. Palfry offered the follow
ing as am additional resolution:
ResOlUcd That the Wings of Massachusetts
will support no man for the Offices of Presiden
and Vice President of the United States, bu
such as are known by their acts or declared
opinions, TO be opposed to the extension O
slavery.
This was discussed in a spirited and abl
manner, and finally rejected.
Seven hundred delegates were present at tn
convention, representing large majority {
the towns Of the Commonwealth; and the pre-
ceedings were characterized by the utmo:
unanimity and good feeling.
