DEATH OF A VENERABLE ADOLF
WONIST.

The most venerable and aged man in the
anti-slavery cause in this Commonwealth,
and probably in the Countrywide Hon. SETH
SpRAGuE, of Duxbury-has fallen alike a
shock of corn fully ripe" and been gathered
TO his fathers. We understand that he died
at his residence on Friday last. His age we
presume was not less than 81, but he had
much of the freshness and ~vivacity OF a young
man. He became an abolitionist at an early
period of the conflict, and has stood faithfully
by the cause in every emergency. No one
was more prompt to attend the anti-Slavery
anniversaries, whether OF the State or county,
than himself. He was present at the late
New England Convention in the Marlboro
Chapel, and participated in its proceedings,
repudiating the American Constitution and
Union as anti-republican, and subversive of
human freedom. He was formerly a strong
pillar in the Methodist Episcopal Church, but
he left it on account Of its pro-slavery charac-
ter, and united with the seeding Wesleyans.
He was a most remarkable man for his years,
and we feel his loss 10 be a severe one to our
cause in old Plymouth.-LJeratOr.

We find the following in the National Intel

ington city. The writer thinks with US tina
the proposition of the Government organ t
rob the Mexican churches was the result of ;
Cabinet conference:
To the Editors of the National hdtclligcncer:
Gentlemen: have read the editorial expla
nations in the Union of the 18th and 18th inst
exonerating the President and Cabinet from any
responsibility for the atfocious suggestion,

enforced disclaimer. Still, although / would
not willingly be outdone in politeness by any
one, am sorry to be compelled, by circumstan
ces, to withhold my belief in the truth of thai
disclaimer.
1t must be observed that the suggestion
appeared in the Union, which bears date on the
llth of May; and it is notorious that that paper
is never put to press until very late hour Of
the night on which it bears date. Therefore nc
person see it, nor is it ever put into circula
tion here until the morning after its date. In
your paper of the 18th inst, find the following
extract of a letter to the editor of the Journal
VI III ANcN 1CIh. WIllleu
on the llth of May:
"You will see that it is now contemplated, or
rather suggested, to sequester the property of
the Mexican church, during the wars Ihapc no
doubt 1t is to be done, as the church influence is
now the main support of the war;
Now, where did the letter-writer get the in
formation, that sit is now contemplated" !" etc.,

Certainly not from the columns of the Union,
for that paper as not printed 1chcn the letter
pGs aoritten. No one will believe that he OBJ
tained his information from the editor, for be-
leve it is not the habit of editors to babbe about
their editorials before they are published. Is
1t not evident that the editorial and the letter
had a common origin? If the suggestion was
not made "by authority" and thrown out TO
feel the popular pulse, why was it suffered to
run eight full days without retraction or deniaR
tOri,y answered.
Until it is so answered, / shall continue to
believe. and the public will continue to believe
that the suggestion" was the result ofa Cabi-
net conference, and that, but for the prompt
manifestation Of the public indignation, the
design of plundering and spoliation who'd have
been put in execution. Iwould here say some
thing of the Unions ''Sott sander" about the
intelligence, patriotism, and social virtues"
and all that, of their Catholic brethren" whilst
thrusting dagger 'under their fifth rib" but
no doubt you are tired of the subject.

THE CONDITIONS OF FPEAcE.-A leading article
in the Democrat Review, which it says is from
source "entitled to confidence" assert, that
the President is not willing to make to Mexico
as defeated PARTY, great confessions in favor
of peace, and has clothed Gen. Scott with pow
der to treat, under instructions from Mr.. Trist
on the following conditions:
GAS to the cession of territory demanded o.
the Mexicans, the Administration will no
claim it as forfeit, but offer to pay for it, sc
as to acquire it by purchase. We want a cleal
title to it and the Administration considers pur
chase the very best of all titles.
"The expense of the war we viii not claim
from the MexicaRs, and the indemnity which
she owes our citizens, will be assumed by the
Government of the United States. We shal
then claim no money of Mexico in any shape
and are willing to accept land in payment o
our Just demands.
GAS to the territory to be ceded or sold to u
by Mexico, we are of opinion thatit will no
comprise more than Upper California and New
Mexico, and that our Government will not in
sist, as condition of peace, on the right o
way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; bu
rather make this a good subject for subsequen
friendly negotiations between the two sister re
publics."
This is confirmed by the letters of the Esp,
in Washington" to the New York Courier an,
Enquirer.

The 10TH REGrMENr.-This new regiment i,
composed principally of Kentuckians, and i.
now nearly complete; one thousand and fifty
men are now on their way to Mexico, and the
remainder will soon be obtained The regi
ment is of the best maetriel, the men being sub
stantial, healthy, and of good character. Col
Tibbatts, who commanps, left this city on Sat
urday last. We wish the Col. and his regiment
success, and have no doubt of hearing good ac.
count of them.
The above is from the Louisville Courier OF
Thursday. Two full companies of this regi-
ment were raised in this neighborhood, in this
and the two counties adjoining, and we be-
lieUe there were other companies raised in the
State and some in Illinois; yet the Kentuck-
ians, with their proverbial generosity, claim
the credit of doing it all, and should the regi-
ment distinguish itself, which we hope and be-
lieve it will if an opportunity offers, the Ken
tucky editors will claim all the glory and shout
themselves hoarse over it. Fair play is jew
el, but it don't shine often in the caps of the
Louisville editors. More's the pity.

OFSenator CoRwIN, Of Ohio, has written a
letter to a gentleman in Lafayette, which was
published in the Journal of that place. We call
attention TO the following paragraphs. The
first one shows up the absurd charge of his re-
fusing supplies to the army in Mexico, at the
time his vote given against the further pros
ecution of the war; The locofocosalways wake

When it cracks, no wonder they set up howl.
He saws:
81 see the Democratic presses prate about
refusing to feed and clothe the brave men nOlc
in the field. Do not these praters know that
it was not for that purpose we were asked for
supplies? Did the President want twenty
eight millions of money, and ten regiments
more of men to bring Taylor back to Cdmdrgos
No, he tolds us he wanted them for the further
prosecution of the war. He wanted to storm the
halls of the Montezumas. And for what?--
That question he will not answer, 1t is for
conquest alone.

how to do it, are trying to establish free gov

THE INDIANIAEs.-A correspondent Of the
New Orleans Bee,, writing from the Brazos un-
der date of the 9th ult., speaking Of the re-
turn of the volunteers under Gen. Taylor, says:
"All of the Indianians will likewise soon re-
turn, and il is to be hoped the recent investiga-
ton of the conduct of one of their Colonels
will clear those troops Of the imputation so in
Justly cast against them. BY the investigation
alluded to; it l5as propcd that the regiment, so
severely censured for retreating, acted in so do
ing consistently with their duty, as they were
ordered by their superior officer-the Colonel Of
the regiment-''to cease firing and retreat
This act should be sufficient to vindicate the
State from the stigma placed on it by few wit
nesses who were themselves deceived, for as
the order was not known to them, they could
not appreciate the spirit of subordination that
prompted proud spirits, rather to submit to a
disgraceful order, than contend with their su-
perior officer in such an hour of peril.
Suppose the order had been given in execu-
ton Of some man9uvre of the Generals, (and
it is not the business of a soldier to know the
object of an order) and those troops had refused
to retreat, thus endangering the whole army,
would we not IN that case have been much more
justifable in censuring their conduct. The
worst light in which their conduct can appear.
is simply to charge them with obeying the or
der of their commander: if this be disgraceful,
and such precedent is established, we may
well bid adieu to all subordination in the army
The worst possible thing we could do, would be
TO hold men responsible for the orders of theil
officers, for were such to be the established
rule, we would have soldiers in the crisis of al
attack arguing with their superiors the propri
ETY. of their commands. If any of the Indian
ians are to suffer, let it not be the gallant mer
that so implicitly obeyed, but the officer wfC
gave an order so really fatal to the honor of The
whole country. The conduct Of one of the reg
iments, and the action of the other two, whel
opportunities were permitted them were sucl
as to deserve our admiration-and Indiana, In
stead of blushing for her sons should receiy
, them with open arms and with pride and exul
tation.''
