Extending the Area.

A late ST. Louis paper enters into detail in
relation to the revolution now in progress in
northern Mexico, aud states facts which,
though nothing more than was suspected,
have not been so clearly stated and candidly
admitted by any other Southern paper that
has come under our notice. We copy the
article as follows:
There is scarcely doubt in Our mind that
the revolution now progressing IN the north
ern provinces of Mexico will he successful,
mud that new Republic will lie established,
more liberal aud just in character than the
present Republic in Mexico.
The New Republic, now struggling for ex-
istence, when formed and established, will
lap directly adjacent to the United States,
aud must, therefore, he placed in direct COM
municaiion with our people. Ii is cnsy to
toresee that, so situated, the whole of this
northern Republic must soon become thor
oughly Anericanized, and, like Texns did, q
few years ago, ask 10 be dnneTed, and admitted
into our Union, as one Of The SfdteS Of our con-
| fideracy. Already, indeed, large number
of Americans are scattered over this district
of country, aud although this revolt is said
TO bc gotten up by MeXicans themselves,
headed by Caravaal and few more like
|
Republic of Mexico, under the Government
of President Aristn, yet The real facts indicate
that americans, mainly are at The bottom Of This
movement.
We ret son thus from the fact that a secret
and powerful Association, formed in The
South, during the war with Mexico, called
the "BuFFALo IlUNTERs," by some, the
"OUsEL Owls" by others, is still, we see,
| in the full tide Of existence aud experiment
on the borders Of Mexico, IN Texas, New
Mexico aud Louisiana. This Association, il
is now stated, number several thousand
members, aud has its branches even in the
very heart of the Mexican country, now in a
state of revolt Those who ought To know
n great deal about the matter, nssert that
this secret Association owes iIs existence ia
men in high standing in the United States
und although prudence dictates TO some o
these persons at the present time, disclain
er against the Society, yet history, to ht
truthful, in regard TO the origin of the
"0uscl Owls" would fix it upon distinguish
ed American citizens. At all events, thi
Society is still in existence, and still deter

DraytOn and SayrtS.

Sinrc October, 1850, we have received, in
contributions from various sources, the ny
gregate sum of $l20, 10 be applied TO tho
the Washington Jail. This amount was ex-
hnus'cd mnnth ago: and they have reqnes-
tod us to say, that contributions TO make
their situations comfortable during this win
ter will he thankfully received. These I'M
fortunate men have iecn lying in prison for
three years, separated from their wives and
children; aud Vie law requires that they
should there reINain till tho heavy fine i'm
posed upon them shall have been paid. Their
patience and good conduct have won for
them The rcspcct of the keepers of the prison,
who, we take pleasure IN saying, appear 20
hc kind.hcarted aud considcrntc, rs well as
lniihlul officers. But il il u terrible thing
for man IN full health, in the prime of his
dnys, with tie command of all his faculties,
to he shut up year after year, within the cold
walls of prison, counting day 10y day tho
sad echoes of his football, MS he pnces tho
stone pavement or looking forth iongingly
through the iron-harred windows upon the
restless sea of life rolling around him; and
when that man is n husband g. father, aud llas
LOST his liberty only through nm net which
nothing hut the stern necessities of a wrong
institution makes an offence against the COM
inunily sustaining il, every hunnne ninl
must regard him with peculiar interest and
compassion.
We hope The friends OF humanity win re-
lnenl,er thnt if they cannot win those in
prison, they can minister 10 their wnnts.--

Anti.SIaycry Meetings.
Yours, for the right,
ID. S. WHITNEY

Friends Walker and GriAins propose to hold
series of Anti Slavery Meetings in this county.
We would welcome them to the field. Let
them have full houses and attentive listners.
1t matters not who they are who attempt to
speak for the poor slave, let them have a
hcarsag. They cannot fail to do good.
While wc do not agree with the Anti-Slavory
men, in tho belief as to Constitutional Law,
and our duty as citizens, VIC have always looked
upon their efforts in behalf of the slave with
favor. They speak for humanity; call men, men,
and things, things; do rot give currency to the
idea that only white men are men, and
colnrcd ones chat:cls.
Mr.. Walker is a powerful spcaker--an inter-
csting speaker. We bcspeak for him full
house. Charslon Free Democrat

SYRACUSE, Nov. ], 1851.
DEAR BRoTHER GARRIsoN: Ii does my
heart good TO hear in every direction, IN Tins
liherty-loving city, the animated discussion
Oh the rescue case; and see, in vast major
inv of cases, that Jerry's liberation is jnslili-
cd and rcioiced in. The ordinary business
of the city seems to he going briskly on, aud
yet nj every resting place something comes M
nbout the rescue, or some of lis attendants or
consequences. Yesterday, some of the per-
sons who attempted 10 kidnap Jerry were
arrested. and il is the design OF the friends
of freedom TO put all who had any part or lot
in that vile transaction upon trial for kidnnp'
ping. This city occupies very envlnble
position among her sisters of the West
She is execrated by all that is alllelstical and
vile, all that is brutal and pro'sayery ~
Church aud State, while the blessings ol all
who love God and their itllow-nen cover
her MS with Il garment.
When Mr.. May called on the free men
and women of Syracuse 10 pledge their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred honor, 10
protect the trembling fugitive in his distress,
il filled every friend of humanity win Joy'
When the greut Apostaie declared IN lie
learing of many of those very men ihut,
when The OCCASION served, the government
would reduce human being TO slavery III
the midst of an nnii.slavery meeting, am
sure that every true heart, pierced ny ilis
brutal threat, exclaimed, o! that Syracuse
were filled with men and women that are
free indeed; then would this bad man he
proved an equally bad prophet And when
| the hour came, md the men were not WANT
ing, nor the women either, how did the free
| hearts of the nation leap for Joy! God bless
thee, Syracuse! loveiesl city of the mighty
West-lnay thy future sustain, untarnished,
thy present glory!

Chrisiiana Prisoners.

The following is the account given hy
visitor to these martyrs to freedom. Read il,
and remember that every honest man in this
nation is liable to the same suflerings, privu-
tions and dangers. The law that imprisons
these men, is in full force over us all. The
Sluve-cotching government that tlirsts for
their blood, waits also to shed yous, when
ever occasion shall offer. True incn only
wait the occasion to become obnoxious TO
tho same penalties. Obedience or subnis-
sion is ont Of the question. II that law tri-
umphs it will he n, The expense of the lives
aud liberties of thousands of the best citizens
of the nation. II cannot triumph. When
the people of this country shall see the true
issue brought TO the crisis--tlley will decide
for the right.
Ofthc twenty-eigh in prison.. three only
nre white. The remaining twenty-five are
colored, mostly bluck but few OF them are
Inulaitoes.
The white men nre, Ehjnh Lewis,
Etorckeeper, nged 50, he has a wife aud six
children; Castner lIanway, miller, 30
years-a married mnn, but without children;
and Joseph p. Scarlet, nged 80, who has u
wife aud three children.
] found them sitting together in n cell
thirteen feet i,y nine, with an urclied roof
The doorway is about four feet high and q
little less Than Two feet wide, which is secur-
cd i,y wrought iron graie door, and outside
Of that II wooden door. There is hut one
window TO the cell, strip of glass nbotit
four feet long aud four inches wide (; hut the
cell, when wns there, was quite light, us the
sun was shining brightly.
With the prisoners were brother of MIR.
IInnway and two of his sisters, who had just
arrived to pay him little visit, and his devo-
ted wife, who spends the whole of every day
with him.
They haye now been confined seven weeks,
and though looking lille pale, are in pretty
good health. Lewis aud lIanwny both sleep
in the cell which have described. Scarlet
sleeps in nnollIer but spends his Days with
the other two.
They em only the bread ofthe prison diet;
the remainder of their food heing supplied
by their friends, who have been, they say,
thus far, very kind and attentive. They con
versed freely, aud appeared cheerful for men
IN such situation.
But the sisters of Mr.. Ilanway, who had
yIs| hITNctii ihlleSIeu PoOu ueal ol GNU
lion at lie strange aspect presented by the
interior ola prison. They were very res
peciable looking wOmen; md the appeal
nnce and bearing OF The prisoners was also
highly respectable.
The colored prisoners are confined in Sc
pirate cells, similar to the one which lave
already described. No two of these are to-
geter, and none Of them nre in cells with
any other prisoners. They spoke well ol'the
officers, and seemed satisfied with lleir fare;
hut complained much Of loneliness, mud said
they should rather he at work. They were
mostly midilc-oged men, with few quite
young, and some in advanced years, amongst
theui.
The 24th Of November current, has been
fixed upon as tho day for the commence
n,ent of these trials. Every one Of the pri-
soners is 10 be tried separately.

Letter from NJ, s, Beach.

Dean BRoTnER have just been listen
ing to sermon by the Rev. Chamberlin,
from the very impressive text, "lf the light
that is in thee he darkness, how great is that
darkness " The preacher seemed to me 10
he nm illustration of his own text for he Ia
bored to prove that "inasmuch us Christ was
speaking to his own disciples, when he said,
II the light that is in Thee be Darkness &C.,
therefore, un individual or Church may he
such, that instead of light, he, or it, may
have only great darkness and yet bc n true
disciple, and n Christian Church, Mt the same
time admitting however, that it might be
better for poor sinners if such Clris'inns were
taken to Heaven, (,f they are fit for llcaven,)
where they would no longer nislead others"
Well think so too. But the idea of such
Churches, or such Christians being taken TO
Heaven, brings to my mind the story of one
Laicrty, who made very high prelcntions to
pieiy, so much so, that hc claimed for hinl-
self the sir.nam of "Chrisian,' "Chrisiian
Lnicrty" But Christian Lnicry, although
in his own estimation very pious, had Mt least
one very prominent wenkncss--IlIat of ta-
king strong drink. Aud once while under
,his influence, he lost his balance and pros
traicd himself head.long into the mud, from
whence I,e was entirely unable TO exiricatc
himself While in this condition lac was
overheard consoliug himself in this manner,
Poor Old Christian l.aieriy," said ae to
himself "Poor-Old-C Chrisiian--L Laferty |!
Fit for nothing hut the KINGDOM of HEAVEN,
and hardly hat!"
You will pardon me, hut when ] hear u
minister speaking of an individual, or nm or
gnnized Church, which he was himself con
strained to compare to that baud Of pirates,
who used TO get up great lights in the night
time, upon soaie rock bound coast, in order
that the weather beaten mariner, as he ioiled
upon a tempesteous ocean, might mistake
them for the true lighthouse, that beckons
him to the haven of rest, and he lured to ccr-
tnin distruciion-ilIat the ROBBERS may he ben
Gifted by what little plumber they can gather
from the wreck.
"The wickcdncss of these spiritual de-
ceiyers," said the Rev. speaker, sis us much
greater than that of those pirates, rs eternal
things are greater than temporal. The pi-
rates destroyed only the property aud lives of
their victims, while such Chris,ians"-yes,
"such CnRIsTIASs iiTe immortal sOuls 10 in
cuitable destruction ~
Now there is no doubt but this is all too
true. The selfstylod "Chrislian Church" in
sancloning, and sancligng the darkest
crimes that fallen humanity ever committed
is thus creating ialse lights, that must of ne
ccssily lead only TO very "great darkness"
aud many nre constantly being led TO utter
destruction, by these "blind guides" but TO
hear minister talk about "God's taking
such Christians to Heaven" in order that le
may prevent them from dragging the rest of
the world down to Hell by their ungodly in
influence, one cannot but exclaim "surely
the light that is in thee is darkness, and how
great is that darkness !"
