Present territory OF Mexico. ............ Sg2 lao
Such is the past. For the present, we find
that the reigning government has just consun-
mated the abolition of the fugos--those old &C.
clesiastical tribunals which in old Spain were
have proved themselves the allies OF despotism
in every ease save in 1871. We likewise hear
that the clergy are rising in rebellion against
this interference with their privileges-that
they are rousing the peasants far and wide =
that thorough distrust Of the government has
already been inspired by them in several
Proyinces-that the laws are, as usual, re-
Taxed, and robbery and murder are once more
common on the high road. These phenomena
are criteria the whole condition Of Mexico. 1t
is impossible for Alvarez aud his friends to
consolidate any species OF civil government
without destroying the consecrated despotism
of the clergy. The latter has been a perpe
tual stumbling block 10 the way of legislators;
il must be overthrown, or the task Of govern
ing is impractcable. At the same time, it
appears that the Mexican clergy are so tena-
cious of their privileges, aud the people so com.
pletely under their control, that it is quite i'm
possible to assail the latter without provoking
rebellion, anG probably revolution. Here
is dead lock Of the most complete kind.
As to the future. If any person will take
the trouble to calculate how long it will take
for the Anglo-Saxon emigrants to drive the
Spanards of Central America to the wall, and
assume the actual possession as they have at
present the authority in portion of the coun-
try. The problem is not easily solved but It
may be safely said that the Americaniza.ion Of
the country will be far enough advanced in
ten years TO give tone to its policy. Then

EDITORS HLRALD:-In your issue of
the Sth., is a brief notice, to the effect
q that you had learned beyond doubt,
that Pawnee the pet town of Gov. Reeder
is situated on the Government Reserva-
ton" know not sirs from whence you
derived your information, but will simply
saw. that the statement is entirely gratul-
tous on the part of your informant, and
without the least shadow Of truth for Its
foundation. Pawnee is not on the g Mill
tary Reservation. = The survey as made
by Col. Montgomery, has been approved
by the authorities at Washington city. said
survey throws Pawnee entirely out OF the
I. Reserve - and leaves it open for settle
mcnt. The title is fully as good, II not
better, than any other town in the Terri
tory; and its enemies, high or low, may
rest assured that all the false reports they
may circulate regarding the Town OF
Pawnee, will not retard its progress in the
least. Its geographical position, 70 say
nothing regarding the energy OF those
placed at the. head of its affairs, gives
every assurance that persons investing
their means in" the Town of iPawnee'
will meet with a rich return therefor
Trusting that.you viii give this communi-
cation an early insertion In the 6 Herald,
thereby placing Pawnee IN Its rsghJut
position before your numerous readers.

Fro Slavery Convention.

On the 18th day of July, a Convention
of Pro-slavery Delegates from the differ
.ent counties will be held at Lexington. Mo.
We hope there will be a full turn out from
all the counties in the STATE. I've per-
&c i've from the papers, and the many pub
lie meetings being held in Missouri, that a
generalfeeling,is aroused amongthe masses
on the all-absorbing question of slavery as.
aboiitionism. The people are determined
no longer to submit to Northern aggres-
sion upon the rights Of the slave-holding
States. They have all along been willing
to preserve an equilibrium in the higher
branch of Congress, between the slave and
|non-slayeholding States. But this does
not suit the Abolition party, who are
determined upon making all Territories
free, and admit no more slave States
Let the Pro-slavery party meet the issue
thus presented, and contend to the last for
the guarantees of the Constitution, and the
rights of shareholders taking their proper
ty of every kind and species, to every
portion of the country.
Kansas should be represented in this
Convention by alfmeans. Wehepe there
will be a meeting Of the Pro-slaYery
party at Leavenworth, at an early day,
say Saturday week, the Both inst, and
appoint Delegates to the Convention.

E@ Another slave case has occurred
at Columbus. Ohio. 4 gentleman from
New Orleans, P. ER1coN, was compelled
to remain over night in that city, and
registered at the hotel two servants. The
black and white Abolitionists procured a
writ Of habeas corpus, swearing that these
servants were Illegally deprived of their
liberty, and they were taken possession of
under it, and carried before a magistrate.
The examination developed the fact that
they were free persons, and Mr.. 2. ac-
companied by his servants, was therefore
allowed to proceed, on his journey. 5

Posr OFFIcE-The amount of letters
and papers received and sent from the
Leayenworth Post Office, would astonish
any one not acquainted with the facts
There are. upon an average, at least one
hundred letters received every day, and an
equal number mailed. We are informed
by the Postmaster, that it IS no uncommon
occurrence for him to mail three hundred
letters by the Eastern mail, which leaves
three times week. So great has been
the demand for g Boxes" at the Post Of
fee, that the Postmaster has increased the
number from 100 to l91, which are now
already all taken. Every thing in Leaven-
worth is.on the increase-business of all

G. McCreas last Letter.


The letter of MeCrea, written to the Herald
of Freedom, purporting to give sPlainss state
ment of faets,'' in regard to the killing of Nal
colin Clark. is vile and Infamous production
and shows, its author, to be fttool to be usee
by the abolition fanatics. The letter is tissue Of
Misrepresentation, containing the most vulgar
and obscene language, full of epithets charac-
teristic Of a man, who could commit the crime
of murder without any remorse of conscience
With the blood of Malcolm Clark, still reeking
upon his hands, he calls him 'Eruffian," the
"Piatte county Bully" who is ever ready fol-
any vile purpose But the letter. Hear is what
the murderer. McCrea says of Clark; after
killing him - -
&c For the purpose of revenge upon us there il
no doubt but the rufiam Clark had been pettet
with promises to be backed up, in case he need
ed it; for it is notorious that he was always rea
dy to use his enormous powersfor any pile par-
pose: and this plot is further evidenced from the
fact that l had no sooner shot the Platte county
BstLly, than it was represented that MIR. Phillips
had been associated with me in circulating hand
bills, although poor Phillips had not spoken te
me since heard of the call for the meeting; ane
the wrath of these ra6fans does not arise from
the decease of Clark, but, that they expected
and Phillips would fall an easy prey to their
powerful leader, His last words were sskil
him l am shot ~
There are other portions of this letter We
would notice, but for want of room, must defer
it to another time. The letter itself is enough
to convict this murderer of the crime which ht
is charged.s He is in this place in confinement
with irons upon him, with strict guard. Ht
has been removed from the Fort to this place
~, account of tba comma ndinO of1icar af fha For
refusing to keep him any longer. He will be
tried at the October Term of the Court at Lea
venworth, when he will doubtless receive hi
just sentence. We forbear for the present com
menting farther, s.rr
