A WAR ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLEs.-One of
the conditsons Of the treaty with Mexico it is
said, is that the war shall be conducted on
Christian principles. Now we know that this is
an age of progress and that all sorts of improve
ments are constantly taking place in all sorts Of
matters, but war on Christian principles is GER
tanly the latest, and if it be carried out, we
think it will prove the greatest Of them all.
Just imagine it; we think we can see the two
armies drawn in battle array, A fair field is be-
fore them; the ranks are formed the positions ta-
ken, the cannon are numbered Gen Scott is
Just about to give the order to fire, when an aid
comes up and respectfully reminds him that the
war is to be conducted on Christian principles,
and it will not do to fire. Very true says the

Security to Southern Institutions

Mr.. Sewer, who has just been sent to Mexico to ia
ciitate and superintend the ratification of the treaty
with Mexico made the following remarks in speech
which he delivered of few weeks since:
In 1913, for reasons which need not fully 20 into,
Texas was invited by the government of the United
States to come into the UnoH. SECURITY TO
SOUTHERN INSTITUTIONS WAS ONE OF
THE INDUCEMENTS ON TIE PART OF THE
UNITED STATES. Trade, commerce, navigation,
the extension of our territorial domain in desirable
Jecton security to the Union in its most vulnerable
point and the monopoly Of southern products upon
which all the chief powers of Europe depended, and
which dependence was regarded as more efficient and
cheap and sae for the preservation Of our peace than
standing armies were the other inducements to thai
nature"
This avowal IS no more importantthan true 1t has
often been asserted that Texas was annexed to bene
fit slavery; but it has been as often denied. Here
however, it is admitted Texas was annexed to afford
"SEcURTY TO SOUTHERN INsTTUTIoNs." This
ayowal comes tom distinguished actor in the bloody
drama. 1t was to strengthen the cords Of slavery that
"TGXas was iyied to come into the Union" She ac-
copied the invitation. war followed which will cost
the people two hundred millions of dollars and tel
thousand lives But for this desire to afford security
to Southern Institutions we should have had no Tex
and to afford the slave breeder more remunerative
market, the national treasury has been exhausted
scores of wives have been made widows, hundreds O
parents made childless, and thousands Of children
made orphans.-.4tbanv Journal.

Wholesome Advice,

The able editor of the Boston Reporter, one of the
best Congregational journals in New England, in no
ticing the various objections brought against the anti
slavery reform, and its conductors, gives Inference tC
the following, which We heartily commend to the notice
aud consideration of Congregational editors nearer
home:-
Scr ourselves must think that the worst error
all, IS, TO do nothing. And we wish we could see tina
those who are eager to point the course, had even
e zeal to show by practice how much better it is t.
do things in better waY."

A LESSON FOR NoRrnERN WnGs.-The Il

LESSON FOR NORTHERN WmGs.-The Rich
mond (Va.) Republican says;
we will not agree to be bound by the decree of a
National Convention, when that body may nominate a
man who is not the choice of the people, and who is
an enemyto The rights Of the South. We say now
as we have said from the beginning, that Gen 1ay-
lor is our choice subject to the decision of the people,
and that even if he were not choice we will not

that vital question, the Wilmot Proviso-bnd ourselves
hand and foot to sustain man who may be the bitter
enemy Of all that is most cherished in the South.
Here is lesson which Northern Wings may well
pause and study. Do we find Northern wing editors
holding language like this Far from it. With a
few exceptions, they say, we will do whit VIC can to
secure the nomination Of Northern man; but if we
fail in this we will support the nomination of the Ma
tional Convention In doing this, under the present
state of affairs, they virtually abandon all principle
strict regard to honest principle is the only sure road
to success. When will Northenl wings learn this
simple TRUTH and act upon it?

THE WAY IT wORKs.--The Richmond way Wing,
Taylor paper, has the following. What pity that
the Shareholders believe the Boston Atlas speaks for
the mass of the Wings of New England. 1t is not
SO. We will not believe the majority of the wings of
Massachusetts can be drawn into the support of Gen,
Taylor, until we see it. The Atlas speaks for itself
and Abbott Lawrence, rather than for a majority of
the party.
SIGN IN THE EAST The Boston Atlas, the most
extensively circulated and influential Wing journal in
New England after speaking of MIR. Clay in terms OF
the highest admiration, expresses the opinion that he
ought not to be the Wing candidate for the next Pres
dency.
The Atlas proceeds to say that the next President
ought to be Northern man, and to express its OWE
preference for Mr.. Webster as the Wing candidate
But 1t believes that the of the Wings Of the
North has been calculated to destroy all hope of the
nomination of Northern man and it concludes witt
these remarks -
we shall abide in the most explicit good faith the
result of the National Convention. We shall give tC
the nominee our hearty support. We are free to say
that we are for Mr. Webster, against the world. He
is most justly entitled to it. We hope he will get it
