Come to the Rescue Your Liberty is in
Danger!

Come to the Rescue Your Liberty is in
Danger.
All tree men, step forth, and proclaim
liberty and show these pretended tenn
Perance men, or cliques, that you cannot
be thus trif1ed with. Hear, hear them.
ihey say that " they do not acisb to INDULGE
IN any language Of reprooch or denuncia-
ION towards liquor sellers" Now, sir.
they contradict themselves. What have
they done every Sabbath for these last
two years? You all know that there is
scarce a corner in this city but where it
IS preached against them. They proceed
further-hear, hear them, We freemen:
" Resolved, That the reverend clergy of
the city be and they are hereby requested
to bring their subject to the notice oftheir
several congregations on Sabbath next, if
not inconsistent with their other engage
ments"
Hear, hear that-they want the clergy
to use their influence in their churches.
so as to help them to carry their obnox-
lous tyranical and despotic purpose
" hat do see yonder coming? 1t is the
"a e'ioi SAi IISSc IueH want
Church and State to work together, so
that they can rule the people as they
please.
Now, sir, this is the worst kind of tyr
any: for just look at the different parts
of Europe. The clergy are called upon
to keep it before the people that this or
that must be so; and thus hold them in
total darkness. But we, as a free people,
must not recognize such proceedings; we
must abhor such ideas, and despise such
set Of men, that would ask or request
the clergy to preach or argue their people
to adopt such obnoxious laws. These
men ought to live in Russia or in Austria,
and not in free country like America.
Friends of liberty and freedom of con-
science! call upon you, one and all, to
turn out strong on next Mondnv, and put
down these wouldbe tyrants. Again |
say GRID up your loins, put on the armor
OF liberty, and beready for the ballot box
on next Monday
For there is nothing sweeter than liberty,
And nothing harder than slavery.

FROM Observation-Disclosures received
at Boston by late arrival from Monte
yideo report that the captain, both mates,
the steward, and two passengers of the
well known ship Reindeer, bound to Bos-
ton from Valparaiso, were murdered by
the crew, who scuttled the vessel Oft Cape
Antonio.
The ship was subsequently discovered,
the cargo thrown overheard, and then
towed to Montevideo.
She had large amount of bullion on
board, which the murderers secured and
took of, placing it in a small boat, in
which they arrived at Montevideo.
On their arrival there, one of them,
seeing the Reindeer lying alongside the
wharf, when he had supposed she was
sunk, was seized with a panic of con-
science and openly confessed the crime.
The murderers were all finally arrested,
and will be sent to England for trial.

Movements OH the Danube.-The telegraphic
DISPATCHES which have reached this country during
the last week from the seat of war in Wallacha
will have been sufficient in themselves to show the
absolute impossibility of venuring beyond conjec-
lures with regard TO the results or even the oper-
tions, of the pending campaign. succession OF
uniform contradictions has constituted the staple
Of our intelligence, and al the present moment il
is difficult to find any assumptions which are not
DESTROYED by others resting on apparently equal
authority To reduce such reports into an aocu-
rate exposition of facts is almost as impracticable
a task as TO perform an arithmetcal operation
with figures constantly changing under the hand.
Il appears that the Turks crossed the Danube in
force at Widdin and Turtukai; that they threw de-
tachments on TO the et bank a two or three inter-
mediate points, and, perhaps, did the same at Hir-
sova, or Braiow, lower down the stream. AT
Giurgevo their attempt failed. One only of their
positions on the left bank was attacked by the
Russians--that, namely, at Otenitza. Here as is
now well ascertained, they repulsed assault after
assault in a series of severe engagements between
the 4h and lh of this month"; but nj this point our
information becomes obscure. The last attack, II
was said should have been made on the llth, by
Prince Gortschakofi in person, but whether there
was actually an attack, whether II was successful
ly resisted or whether il was anticipated by vol
untary evacuation OF the position on the part Of
the Turks we cannot even now positively state.
That the Turkish division al this point had re-
crossed the Danube, after destroying its defences
we have been indeed informed, but the reasons for
such retreat have been variously alleged II seems
probable that Prince Gortschakof was by some
means enabled to menace the Turks with forces far
more considerable than had been attributedto him.
and that the Ottoman commander thought proper
10 retire across the river without awaiting final
assault Reports further add, that all the other
Turkish positions on the eft bank, except that Of
Kalafat have been abandoned also, but il is con-
fessed that the retreat has been effected in every
case without molestation.
Assuming this 10 be the true state of affairs the
sum ofthe operations appears to be that the Turks
successfully accomplished the passage Of the Dam
ube at all points but one, and that they defended
for upwards OF week, against the whole avails-
