The ESCAPE OF ROGERS AND GAMER The
CORRESPONDENT of the Picsyune under date of
! fueola, 9th inst, gives the following account
Of the escape of Major Gaines and Midshipman
Rogers:
Midshipman Rogers, about whose imprison-
ment SO much has been said, has taken the lib
erty of releasing himself-in plain English has
escaped from the city of Mexico and has arri-
we'd here in safety. He was not on parole at
the time, but at large in tue Capital under a
bond with money penalty, not to break his
bounds. Learning that the American officers
were to be removed to Toluca, and that there
was no probability of bis being exchanged, he
started offin the night towards Chalco lake in
boat. Arriving there, he started GA horse
back through the mountains, with guide, and
as above stated got through in snfety.
He reports that Santa Anna has not so many
men as has been stated-that he has not more
than $4,000 wha ure well armed and well Or
ganized. Perhaps he did not know that Valen
cha had arrived with reinforcements from San
Lnis. Both Rogers, and Lieut.. Semmes, who
was sent on by Com. Perry to attend to his
case, will go on to the capital whenever the
army moves, and take part in any game which
may be there played.
Last night about ten o'clock, Major Gaines
came in, passing safely through the entire Mex
lean lines, IL seems that on Monday last all
the Amercat oficess were ordered to tho head
quarters of General Lombardini, and were told
that they must prepare in twelve hours, to move
to Toluca. All of them save majors Gaines s.
Boreland and Capt. Danley, gave their paroles
that they would proceed to that place, But ma
jor c. distinctly told Lombardni that his parole
was at an end-that he did not ask its renewal,
nor choud he accept it.
On Tuesday morning the officers, with three
exceptions above named, started in the stage
for Toluca, andon the same night major Gaines
accompanied by trusty Mexican guide, set out
for this place, and after being once in the hands
of the guerilas, and running many narrow risks
besides, succeeded in coming through in safety.
He Informed Lombardlni distinctly through the
brother of Almonte, that he sho'ld
not give his parole for Toluca, and anticipated
being arrested and put under guaid at once but
not thinking, probably, that he would attempt
to escape, he was allowed to depart. The Sc
qnel is known.

A WRETCHED DECEPTIoN.-In another col
umn we publish the letter of Samuel Houston
in regard to the annexation of Texas. 1t speaks
for itself, and we wish that every voter in the
United States would read and ponder 1t. We
trust that our brethren of the press will univer-
sally give it prominent place. We common
ced the perusal of it, intending to give an alb
stract, but we found as we progressed that il
only could do justice to itself. Read it. Mark
particularly that clause which declares that no
United States, were ever intended to be formed
by Texas but that "common sense suggested
the only feasible plan to attain the desired OBJ
ject," (annexation,)" and that was, to excite
jealousy and alarm on the part ofthe politicians
and people of the United States, 10 relation to
the present and future commercial and politi-
cal connections of Texas, with European ma
tions''
No one can yet have forgotten how potent
ly this argument was welded. This, the only
argument which, were it true, would have uni
ted almost the unanimous vote of the People for
annexation, or anything else to prevent such an
interference, was most effectually used. In
vain Wings declared no such intention existed.
The conduct of Texas was such as to carry the
Inference irresistibly to the minds of the Ad-
ministration and people, that such relations
would be formed unless Annexation took place.
Under that impression, it took place war fol-
lowed, and while treasure is wasting, and blood
flowing, the infamous Houston taunts his mis-
cradle dupe Tyler, and insults the American
People, by telling them in so many words, that
he made fools of them all, ably exciting notions
of intrigue which had no existence only in i'm
agination."
What cannot be cured, must be endured, but
the cry is again raised, that Great Britain Is
about to seize on Cuba, to indemnify herself for
debts due from Spain; that she will take what
we leave of Mexico, i: we do not take it all, &c.
Will the People remember this Texan lesson,

A Strange Procedure.

Memorials are in circulation in the State
of New York to the Legislature, prayinq for
an impeachment of the Judges of the Supreme
Court, for pronouncing an unconstitutional
opinion, and acting in pursuance of that opin-
ion, by continuing to appoint Attorneys and
Counsellors 10 public office, in violation of
the New Constitution. The course Of the
memorialists is openly defended in some of
the newspapers. We think it not more un-
precedented than dangerous. 1t would be
the utter annihilation of all judicial indepen-
dence, without which a court of Justice would
be sadly misnamed. 1t would place the en-
tire property and dearest interests of individ-
uals at The mercy of a party. 1t would de-
cree the absolute power of the majority, and
place individuals and minorities in a state of
complete and hopeless subsection. There
could be no security for right against power.
The surest safeguard of liberty would be
stricken TO the dust. We are surprised that
a doctrine, received with favor only in despo-
tisms, should find credit or currency in any
free country Gin. Herald.
The only meaning we can attach to the
above is this: When the Judges of any court
have decided that a law or an act is Consti-
t%utional or legal, it becomes the duty of citi-
zens to submit TO their authority, inasmuch
as they are the appointed expounders of Con-
situations and laws and that for a party 10
attempt an impeachment of those Judges
whose decisions are unfavorable to its views,
is highly despotic, and if successful would
destroy the rights of the people.
What is Liberty party striving to dol The
very thing in substance which is here COM
planned of. The decisions of the Supreme
Court of the U. S. in the cases of Prigg, and
Vanzandt do not suit it. But we ask, do
they not harmonic with the intentions of the
trainers of the Constitution, and the law of
'93? No one can intelligently deny it. Are
they not in accordance with the understand
ing the people Of the present and past gene
ration have and yet entertain of these docu-
ments None will dispute it. DO they con-
dict with any previous decision made by the
same tribunal? Not at all. Yet Liberty
party impeaches the Judges who made these
decisions. True, it does not impeach them
in the regular and legal form, for it has not
yet the power TO do so, but it impeaches them
at the bar of public opinion, and strives to OBJ
tain their removal from office because their
decisions do not accord with its views. If
the course of the New York memorialists is
to be condemned, we see not how Liberty
party can escape censure.

3. R%esolred, That, in the opinion Of this
meeting, now is the time TO lay the founda-
ton OF anti-slavery action deep and perma-
nent In the hearts of the freemen Of this
country.
3. ResoIred, That, in order to put an end
to Slavery in these United States, this meet
ing pledge themselves to use all moral and
political means in their power.
4. ResoiUed, That we will not vote for a
Shareholder. or pro-slavery man, for any Of.
flee but Will vote for Liberty men.
In the above resolutions we have the very
core from the anti-slavery mass in Wads-
worth, and if this be the quintessonce you can
judge of the bulk.
The following resolution was presented by
myself, and received for discussion but, af-
ter some debate, was rejected by the casting
vote of the speaker.
ResoiUed, therefore, That we, as Christians,
can have no fellowship with Shareholders, or
with those who justify them, either by en-
dorsing their Christian character or by voting
them into Office.
Men will turn their backs upon the horse
thief, but when they meet the man-thief,
popularity looks them in the face and they
cannot deny what they call Christian fellow
ship but if that be Christian fellowship,
what would heather fellowship be?
Perhaps it will not be out Of place for me
to say here, that by a vote Of the above citi-
zens, these resolutions are to be published in
several Liberty papers," as they were
pleased to denominate them; and lest they
be regarded as the general expression of the
people here, will state that only some twen-
ty-fve or thirty were present. They have
not enough interest in the welfare Of the poor
slave TO call them out to discuss his rights.
They do not remember them that are in
bonds as bound with them " and when
Friends Hatch and Fuller appointed an anti
lecture in the same house a short time
they could not get a hearing.
