important MOTement~"ReIig Lib
erty the World over!

IL is known to many that the Government OF
the United States has, for some time past, had
its attention directed to the securing for Ameri-
can citizens in foreign countries the rights of
conscience, of worship, and Of burial These
rights are the rights of man, not of rulers In
many countries our citizens are subject to in
conceivable distresses, insults, prosecutions and
prosecutions in regard to this very important
matter.
In many countries our citizens are not per-
mitted to worship God according to the dictates
of their own consciences; but on the contrary
are oftentimes required to render what is to them
mock observance of superstitious rites, which
they believe to be idolatrous, or subject them
selves to ignominy and injury. far, very far be-
yond the spirit Of the age we live in.
In the Island of Cuba, right here at our own
doors, where so many of our friends and neigh
bors soiourn in pursuit of health, business OF
recreation, they cannot bury their dead with the
Christian rites and services of their father, be
cause a superannuated and silly Government,
which belongs in the dark ages, prohibits it.
The details of facts in these particulars, many
hundreds of which could be produced, would
make an American citizen feel like an American
citizen indeed.
And to similar insults and inconveniences our
people are subject in Central America, in Mexi-
ca, Spain, Portugal, Austria, and in almost all
of Italy, and some other places. This thing
has gone far enough. This is the Nineteenth
Century, the age of Freedom and of the worlds
enlightenment.
A nf oil Ill
have the right solemnly and sacredly guaranteed
to them, IN our country, to- think and worship,
and bury their dead according to their own
wishes and their own consciences. And we
ask for and expect the same. At the last ses-
sion of Congress movement in this direction
was made in the Senate by Mr.. Cass and MIR.
Underwood, bat for want of time or some other
cause, nothing wss done. England is also mo-
wing in the matter.
On the 26th January last great meeting was
held in New York on the subject, At this
meeting letters were read from Abbott Lau-
renee, Edward Everett, d. D. Barnard, Robert
c. Winthrop, Henry A. Wise, DIR. J. p Durbin,
Judge Jessup and other distinguished men.
The Hon. George Wood presided, assisted by
about fifty gentlemen as Vice Presidents Thir-
teen spirited and plain spoken Resolutions were
adopted. Speeches were made by David D..
Field, Rev. Stewart Robinson, Hiram Ketchum,
Rev. Edward n. Kirk and Others.
The meeting adopted Memorial to Congress,
which they have circulated over the country, and
which they recommend may be acted on prompt
1y by the lovers of Liberty IN every place A
copy of this Memorial. with some names al
ready attached, may be seen at Mannis Book
Store. We hope that every freeman in Yazoo
will register his name on that Scroll of Liberty
This is an age of Freedom. Young America
must be seen and heard.

The WALKER EXPEDITION TO LOWER CALIFoR-
NIA-The San Francisco, of the 3Ist of January,
does not think that Walker and his fIlibusters
will succeed in their expedition against Sonora.
In the course Of an article on the subject it says
But, seriously, this annexation of Sonora to
the Republic of Lower California, is calculated
to provoke the mirth Of the outside world
There is but handful of adventures in Lower
California. and they can mold the position but
a short time at best. They will soon find the
guns Of the sloop-of-war Portsmouth grinning
fiercely towards them, and they can expect no
further recruits from California, and may think
themselves fortunate it they escape with their
lives. They have not the least possible chance
Of making any impression on Sonora, and the
proclamation of President Walker look like the
silliest blast that was ever blown by an infatu-
ated a1venturer. we can lilren it only to that
of the black prince that allowed the rest of the
world to go to dinner. His ideas Of his own
proves must be similar to those of another
ethiopian petty sovereign who. as he sat beneath
The shade OF date tree, with few ebon servants
about HIM when some French officers passed By
inquired anxiously if they said much about him
in France"

TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
OF
DR.. McLean's Celebrated Volcanic OIL
NTM II NJ TT
L ! N | M L n Z

ONE AGENT, Mr.. Pike, has sold nine
~ thousand seven hundre and twenty-four
bottles in one month Over two thousand
different persons in this and adjoining states
who were afflicted with rheumatism during the
last two months, have been cured by the use
of McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment.
1t is truly a celebrated renledyl and IL has
done more to alleviate human suffering than
any medicine ever discovered. A few appli-
cations will relieve the most violent pain, and
heal the most loathesome scar or ulcer. Tt
will almost instantly remove inflammation,
and heal the severe burn or scnld, without
scar; for chapped hands, chilbains, or eruP-
tions on the skin Of any kind and for bruises
or sprains, it is a sovereign rcmedy-the effect
is wonderful, that thousands can testify.
For Horses and other Animals, Mclean
Celebrated LIniment is far superior TO any REM
edy for the cure of lameness, bruises, cuts, old
sores, sweeny, scratches, gals, swellings.
sprains, &c. For ring bone, SPAWN, or any
kind of swelling in the joints, it is a remarka-
BILE cure and no planter should ever be with
out it. See other advertisements, what stage
and omnibus proprietors say about it, then tri-
file no longer with other compounds.
McLean's Liniment is the only reliable REM
edy for external disease on man or beast. Try
it and you will be convinced of its UtrtUe.

as will appear on investigation to all impartial

ally and conscienciousy recommend it as uery
fair and liberal enterprise of the kind. But our
opinion may possibly be partial, as we are rather
deeply interested ourselves.
