RESOLUTIONS OF THE BOSTON MOB
MEETING.

The mob meeting of abolitionists that re-
Gently disgraced the city Of Boston, after hear
ing several inaammatory, violent and blasphe-
nous addresses, adopted a series of resolutions,
which will be found below. Wepublish them
that our readers may see, if they do not already
know, the foul character of these enemies of
law, order, the Constitution, and the Bible.
We believe that the more general the currency
given to the speeches, resolves, and proceed
ings Of such men, the greater the disgust
and horror that will be entertained for them.
Honest, true-hearted men can no more affiliate
with rank abolitionsts than honest and true
hearted men can fraternize with thieves and
with highwaymen. Purity cannot mingle with
impurity, virtue cannot associate with vice, re-
ligion cannot ally itself with infdelity,
The better these people are known the more
they will be despised and scorned; and the
best way to know them is to let them show
themselves. "By their acts ye shall judge
them.n
The resolutions Of this mob meeting are as
follows
al. Resolued, Thatthepeopleo eof Massachusetts,
lAving declared in the first article of their con-
stitution, that "all men are born free and equal,
and have certain natural, essential, and ina
lienable rights, among which may be reckoned
the rights of enjoying and defending their lives
and Liberties that of acquiring, possessing,
and protecting property; in fine, that of seek

Death of Lobo, the Chief who killed the
White Party In IS40.-We have had the pri-
vilege Of making an extract from private letter
from an officer in the army, which gives some adj
ditional items in regard to the late Indian fight in
New Mexico. The letter dates from Fort Union,
April 1st, and says: "
S"Wilh twenty-five dragons and two chums, we
started the Dragons TO look after Indians, and
myself and one fmy companions as amateurs and
hunters. The fourth day out we found about forty
savages, Apaches, dressed in war tog, armed with
rifles, bows and arrows, and ances We had a
long parley. After considerable talk, and no re-
suit, we gave them our utmatum. They refused
our proposition, when the chief threw himself in
the centre Of his men. They were formed IN a
semi-crce in front Of us, pitched into them, and
a running fight for fifteen minutes.
aThere was very deep canon, hidden by cedar,
near the talk ground, which we knew nothing Of,
and down which the Indians made their way on
foct abandoning their horses, and where the dra-
goons could not follow.
"They fought running, after the first charge
which they received, and never gave up as-long as
they could draw bow or fire a rifle. Our men
had revolvers, and the way bullets and arrows
new about human cerebelums was quite exhili-
rating.
We killed FIVE Indians and wounded numbers
Among the former was sLobo, the chief, who de-
stroyed the mail party in 1850 and killed the White
party in 1S49 and carried off Mrs. White. She
was afterwards killed by the Indians when al
tackled" - ST. Joseph (nfo.) Cycle.

II Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
the public, is attracting great attention not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number Of people who are ai-
1icted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy OF his rem
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed. has atractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of il
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practices we have no doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor it receives. and that it will
prove to be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial-Lynn Ncirs, December %, 1853.
