viceof intempefance, and to master it,
and master it, 1T WILL. And can the
conquered complain? They will bless
the victors; their families will bless
them; all will bless the power which
canredeem man from guilt and from
suffering, and rear up a wall Of pre-

binds up the broken Of heart; it links
in closest bonds the severed; itmakes
the fallen parent a loved object. to his

with a life, and the State with vigor

temptation. Who is not for this

A correspondent, who attended the
Convention, writes of it as follows: ~

MEXICO.

Mexican dates to the 4th May state that Gen.
Santa Anna has been inaugurated with great pomp.
He had formed Cabinet, and adopted rules res
trcting the liberty of the press compelling Editors
to obtain license from the government, and to
submit copies of all articles to government officers
before publication.
The Sloo contract has been confirmed by Santa
Anna, and the treaty regarding the neutrality of
the Isthmus has been ratified.
The new President, or rather Dictator, finds it
necessary to muzzle the press-that "tyrants foe
and peoples friend. " The Mexican people will,
of course, submit to even this. They deserve to
be slaves, and they are.

Monday last.
Mr.. Lewis spoke first, for about an hour, and
