before Rosas, and both condemned TO DEATH
Finding that Camilla was enciente, and unwii-
ling 10 postpone her execution one short month,
it was order ed that the child should be baptised,
aud the order was accomplished by pouring in a
spirit OF mockery, holy water down the mothers
throat.

daged to the place of execution, Gutierrez asked
who was walking at his side and Camilla re-
piled cit my child has been christened,

So great was the horror felt at the srocious
sentence, that even the soldiers at Santos Luga-

another, while aiming at Camilla turned aside

second she only slightly wounded and al
the third she fell.

THE BARNBuRNERS.

That portion Of the Locoioco party OPP
posed to the extension of slave territory, i.
is well known, have received the above mp
pellation. The ST. Louis Union, the organ
Of unadultered Loco:ocoism in the West
says, "As far as the Democracy Of st. Lou
is are concerned, Mr.. Van Buren, and his
sympathizers arc 'cut adri,' We can RELY
on Missouri generally to pursue similar
course; and we feel sure that neither Hi
nois, Iowa or Wisconsin will falter.-
Throughout the Union let our party yindi-
cate its purity and patriotism, by cxpellinc
formally and forever 'ihc scrpcn,s they
have nourished only to sting them"
How far Illinois has succumbed to the
surety Of this organ may be nscer,ained
from the fact, that at Chicago on the glori-
Gus 4th, meeting was organized, when
DR.. Brainard, tho delegate from that Dis.
trict TO the Locoloco National Convention,
came forward, rendered up his account and
declared his intention Of opposing the cleo
ton Of Lewis Cass. The meeting was then
addressed BY number Of influential men
Of the Locoioco party and series Of reso-
lutions passed. The most important OF
which was one calling Convention at Ot-
tor0 to nominate an electoral ticket, and a
candidate for Goreraor.' Among other
proceedings o! the meeting was the read
ing Of Gen. Cass' celebrated letter to the
River and Harbor Convention. Il was re-
ceived 10 the sumo manner rs when read
before that Convention, only that it was
not encored!

would not trouble the public concerning
them; but rs they infect, whether SO in,en-
