WHOLE NO. los.

The simple preaching Of the truth has sha.
ken church and state to their foundations
has had an effect so great, that even now, the
mass Of the people are unwilling to attribute
it 10 a cause seemingly so slight. Let US
arouse then and devote ourselves afresh to
the promotion Of this holy enterprise. Let
us work while ii is yet day. Time speeds
rapidly on, and they who but a little while
since brought their offerings to the shrine of
Freedom, are one by one passing away
The venerable THOMAS CLARKsoN, whose
early efforts were given to the bondman's
cause, and the promise Of whose youth has
been more than realized by the philanthropy
which made his life glorious, and whose
heart at our last Annual Meeting beat res
ponsive unto ours, is now numbered with
the jewellers Of the spirit land. He has left
for our Inheritance his own bright example,
and his dying testimony TO the truth of Dis.
union doctrine.
DANIEL O'CoNNRLL too, whose scathing
rebukes were so much dreaded by the slave
holders Of this land, shall no more plead with
eloquent tongue the bondman's cause, for his
lips are closed in death. One of the early
abolilionists of New England also, has, since
last we met, d~erarted in the ~fullness of age,
yet with all the freshness of youth about
him. The first flower that bloomed upon the
grave of the venerated SETH SPRAGuE has
scarcely yet lost its beauty or its fragrance
Other friends of freedom have likewis,
fallen. Almost every neighborhood circle o
abolitionists have witnessed the departure @
one or more of their number. These remem
brances admonish US to be more dilligent-
they should incline us to be ever ready I
bear our share of responsibility-to perform
our part of humanity's labor, SO that whet
our earthly mission shall end, our works ma
be a memorial of our faithfulness, and it sha
be said of us that we did what we could.

GEOGRAPHICAL CRIME.-CIime and hero
ism are not to be settled by reference TO The
moral laws, but by studying the Geographer's
Chart. IL any one doubts this, let him read
the two announcements below, which we cut
from the columns Of a daily paper, and mark
the contrast in the treatmen Of these two
homicidcs. 1t is not to be presumed that the
citizens Of Trenton would honor the bloody
handed murderer; why then this compliment
and reward 10 a human butcher, unless the
act which is the viIest felony here, becomes
exalted heroism in Mexico -
ExEcuTIoN.-James Riggs, colored, now
confined in the Jail at Pottsville, Pa, for the
murder of Gunder, is 10 be hung on Friday
next, 18Th inst.
That for murder in Pennsylvania, and this
for the same deed in a lower latitude.
A Silver Pitcher has been presented to
Lieut.. Hunter, u. s. N, by a number of
citizens of Trenton, Of which city he is a ma
tive. Lieut.. ii. was received at the cars by
a military escort, and a procession, civic and
military. was formed, which marched TO the
Court House, where the ceremony of presen-
tation took place, the pitcher being presented
by Mercer Beasley, Esq, who comPlimen,ed
him.

nc U. 5. steamship Massachusetts az
rived here last evening from Vera Cruz,
Which place she lief; OIL the evening of the
18th. Our correspondence is down to the
latest hour. The news is of the most stir
ring interest. The best adviccs lead to the
Impression that Il battle was fought at Ccrro
Gordo, nearly midway between the Pucnte
Nacional and Jalapa, on Thursday or Fri
day last. We have heretofore announced
the advance ofGcn. Twiggs' division into
the interior. When last heard from he was
beyond the Pucntc Nacional and in close
proximity to the Mexican arlny. Gen. Scott
was expected to arrive at Gen. Twiges'
headquarters on the night of the 18th inst.
General Worth left Vera Cruz with the
last division ofthe army on the 18th and BIZ
vouckcd that light at San Juan, abouttwelvc
miles i'll the interior. He probably Joined
the advance on the 18th. Santa Anna was
said to be at Cerro Gordo, where La Vega
and Canalizo were posted with considcra-
BILE command. The Mexican force at that
point when Joined by Santa Anua, vas esti-
mated at fifteen thousand strong g-c,nsist-
ing ottwo thousand regular infantry, three
thousand cavalry, and the remainder irreg-
ulars. The pass Cicero Gorlo is forty four
miles from Vera Cruz, and is naturally a
strong one, some difficulty is anticipated in
forcing it. Runors state that Santa Anna
can obtain any amount of irregular force he
may desire. Accommodating parties from
the American army had been fired upon and
several wounded, amongst them was Capt.
(now Lieut.. Col.) Johnson, of the Topo.
graphical Engineers, who was shot in the
arm and hip whilst examining the Mexican
works at Ccrro Gordo. Intelligent officers
who arrived in the Massachusetts. entertain
very little doubt that general cnga cement
has taken place.
a number of soldiers have been shot in
passing the road to and fro. All accounts
represent the Americans as confident of vic.
tory, and the Mcxicans as burning for re-.
vengc. Our next adviccs from Vera Cruz
will we doubt not, bring us the details ofan
important engagement.
We subjoin the news from Vera Cruz "a.
pers and our correspondence. The letter
from Mr.. Kendall of the 18th, written at
camp San Juan, is the very latest from the
army. The soldiers were suffering at Vera
Cruz from sickness, but the vomito had not
appeared.

Que Dny Liner from Vera Cruz-ArTival Of
the steamship Palmetto.

FROM tue Il -. Ilcay uhct suiy 4h.
The steamship Palmetto Capt Smith arrived
last night from era Cruz. by way Of Tampico end
Brazns Santiago. She left Vera Cruz ou the 9TH.
Tempico on she 10Th and the Brazos on the l2ih.
BY this arrival We have letters and papers from
Vera Cruz 70 the 9th inst. So far can learn
by them, OF 10y the verbal report Of the officers Of
the Palmetto there had been no arrival from the
army OF Gen. Scott since the night OF tie lst inst
We are, therefore confirmed in our opinion that
the story brought here by some one on the Calves
ton about courier from Mexico with 'Inomentous
news 10 the 9Th inst was 'aA my. eye We
can learn nothing whatever from the army Or the
Capital.
The SIM Of Anahuac Of the 9th inst gives the
following account of the issue Of Capt. MayOs ex-
petition against + ather Jarauta:
Capt Mayo. O. s. n Governor Of Alvsrado, We have
sid iu previous number ascended the byarado river
with the steamer Peirts few days ago In pursuit Of a
renowned priest chief Of toe Guerrss Padre Jarsus
Cept y. went up the river ABOUT 20 miles 70 town
called COsamalOspsn, where the padre had captured
American traders boat, with two men, and ROBBED 200
dollars from them but when be arrived the Mexican
had led after selling the boat.
No resistance was made to the Governor-he holsted
the American flag made the slcade pay the two hundred
dollars and return the boat 10 the owner.
The padre before leaving Cosamsloapan on Friday
iast told the people that his Intention was 10 60 20
Te.echoscsn sud Hacienda Of N0palsyam for the pur-
pose Of collecting 500 horses 10 mount his men al this
time stationed 10 the town Of Cotass, Hacienda Of Ma
Taui1 and B0ca Costal in number about 600 effective
men from these places he 20 join Guerrlls Chief
/ from Jsapa. Juan Chimaco Rebolledo, who is now IN
the pass Of the Hsys nine miles from Jslapa. With lJJ
men, and collecting AS many more IS possible from the
neghboring country for the purpose OF attacking our
train on their wsy up He has positive orders to take
no prisoners butte put 70 death not only all Americana
but even every Mexican that he catch, that has Ia
any way rendered services 10 our couutrymen.
The Sun also reports a fight between a French
man named Simon Lamadee and Mexican named
Ramon Bustamentc. The Mexican stabbed the
/ Frenchman dangerously and made lis escape
/ reward of 500 was offered for Bustamente forth
with.
Gen Pierce had notleit era Cruz when the Pal
/ metto sailed but was expected to leave that day
or Saturday the 10th.
From Tampico aud the Brazos we have no news
whatever. The Palmetto brought mails from each
point at which she touched but they were not dis
tributed lastnight
