intelligence
BY favor of Mr.. ]. B. Richie, merchant O
San Fernando, just arrived in our city, w
learn that the Mexican Col Zanzau, with :
force Of 400 men, has surprised, at the break
Of day, Lipan camp and taken prisoners the
whole party, amounting to about 100 persons
ofevery sex and age. On his way to Monterey
the men having evinced some disposition t
mutiny, 40 Of them were shot on the spot.
1t is assured that Vidaurri has ordered thu
the prisoners shall be kept in the fortress a
Pcrote and in the castle Of San Juan dc Ulua
The civil and military authority on the iron
tier of the Rio Bravo, have ordered ont al
the men able to mount on horseback, 10 wutcl
the passes, and thus effect the cxtcrminatol
Of the remains of the Lipan tribe.
This intelligence is gratifying, as giving cvi
dence Of a disposition on the part of the Mcxi
can authorities, to do whatever they can t,
avoid difficulties with us, growing out of Indal
excursions from their territory, on the pcacca

St. Louis Election.

In st. Louis, the Benton and anti-Benton
Democracy united on city ticket, in order
to redeem the city from the blighting rule of
Know Nothingism.-Pioneer Of yesterday.
In order to let our readers know how far
this statement is true, it is only necessary to
quote from journals better informed than
the Pioneer.
The Missouri Democrat, the only fearless
and Independent journal published in St.
Louis, in the English language, which has
opposed Border Ruffianism from the start,
claims no aid from the Observation-Disclosures
ton Democracy n achieving this victory.
The Republican, the chief organ of Border
Ruffianism in all Missouri, said before the
election that the How ticket was pure
" Abolition ticket, and dared its support
ers to deny the charge, which they did not !;
because they knew they were all right, and
in favor. of Freedom in Kansas, and were
determined to go ahead-which they did
and aron
The Anzeiger, the leading German paper
of St. Louis, claims the victory as an Anti
Nebraska victory. The Editor of the An
zeiger, in his paper of the 9Th, speaking OF
the result, says that the work "was done
WITHOUT THE AID OF THE REGULAR Ma
rIoNAL DEMOCRACY, and aoUhoM worship
ping the Kansas-Nebrasha bin, Douglas on
Pierce. We herald it to Our brethren in the
FREE States. Thus was it done in Missouri,
the State where Border Rufiians' were first
invented-go We and do likewise"
This is the way the papers of st. Louis
talk. If our ncighbors have more correct
information from other sources, let them
produce it.

Colonel Rissell.

We had the pleasure of meeting Colonel
Bissell a few days ago, while in Bellville, and
were glad TO find him SO much better in
health than we had been led to expect His
general health is excellent, and the paralysis
which has SO long had possession of his
limbs, is rapidly wearing off. He INDUCES
in the hope that in month or two he will
he entirely restored to his usual physical
state. lie sits up all day and takes frequent
rides in pleasant weather, using the hours
when not taking exercise in reading and
writing. He now has every. prospect of a
rapid and permanent cure. Aside from the
kind personal feelings entertained for Col.
Bisscll by the thousands of our State who
admire his high moral and intellectual quail
fications, and distinguished public services,
the friends of freedom, of order, of justice
and humanity, in Illinois, have deep inter-
est in his health, because they look to him
as the man of all others to lead them to vic
tory at our State election this fall, against
the Slavery extentionsts and border ruilians
of Illinois. Col. Bissell is not candidate
for any office whatever, but we feel assured
if the Ant-Nebraska men of Illinois call
upon him-and they are calling upon him
to become their standard bearer, he will
take up the banner of Freedom and of the
Constitution, and lead them to glorious
yictory-ANon Courier.

James Buchanan.

This original Federalist and of later years
consumma'e Old Fogy Democrat, is the
prominent candidate for the Presidency be-
fore the Cincinnati Convention. Some of
the opposition prints are charging that dur
ing cold Bucks " halcyon days of Federal
ism, he once publicly remarked, that if he
thought he had one drop of Democratic
blood in his VEINS" he would rid himself of
the obnoxious ingredient by phlebotomy.
This is great mistake. 1t was Mr.. Blu
chanan's friend and crony, Chas. j. Inger-
soll of Philadelphia, whose holy horror of
Democracy once made him give utterance to
this patriotic sentiment.
But, during the war of 1872, Mr.. BC-
chanan was poison Fedcralist nevertheless.
The Federalists of his neighborhood the fol-
lowing year selected him as their Fourth of
July orator at Lancaster, Pa, where he de-
liycred an oration--to be found in the Fed
cral prints of that day-repete with abuse
of the war, the Democratic party and Mr..
Madison's Administration. Mr.. =. also APP
pears to have been an original Know Moth
ing, for in that same Grafton he holds the
following opinion of Foreigners:
ave ought to use every honest exertion
to turn out of power those weak and wicked
men who have abandoned the political path
marked out for this country by Washington,
and whose wild and visionary theories have
been at length tested by experience and
found wanting. Above all, we ought to
drive from our shores Foreign influence, and
cherish exclusively American feeling. Fore
i'm influence has been in every age the curse
of Republics. Her jaundiced eyes see all
things in false colors. The thick atmos-
phcrc of prejudice, by which she is forever
surrounded, excludes from her sight the
light of Heaven. Whilst she worships the
nation for this very crime, she curses the
enemy of that nation for even their virtues.
In every age she has marched before the
enemies of her country, proclalming peace
when there was no peace, and lulling its de-
tenders into fatal security, while the iron
hand of dcspotism was aiming death-blow
at their liberties. Already our infant Re-
public has felt her whitening influence. AL
ready she has involved us in a war which
has nearly cost us our existence. Let us
learn wisdom from experience, and forever
Danish this ticnd from our society,""

PoL1rrcAL MANGUvERING AT WASHING
roN.-All reports from Washington 60 to
show that President Pierce regards Mr.. Bu-
chanan as dangerous rival for the Presi-
dency, and that he is now anxious to choke
him off the Presidential course. Pierce con-
siders his chance the best, though it is gem
orally believed that the delegates are cheat
ing him. They promise to vote for him, but
they mean to do it in such way as to lay
him out cold. One writer SAYS
"Gen. Pierce has been favored with letters
from sufficient number of delegates to as
sure him of a majority of the convention
from the outset. He takes these promises
in good faith, when many of them are sheer
moonshine; Franklin Pierce may get the
complimentary testimony upon the first vote
of plurality; but then, as with Van Buren,
in 1874, they will drop him. The bona fide
Pierce delegates have an inkling of this, and
their plans are arranged accordingly; first to
dee,at Buchanan, and secondly, to create
snch an entangleuent in the Convention u,
will compel it, as hst resort, to fall back

Slavery to cease while the love Of Freedom

Slavery to cease while the love of Freedom
animates the bosom of mankind. The So
1emnity of the occasion draws over our heads
the clouds of disunion which always arises
when the subject of slavery is agitated. Still
debate goes on more ardently and earnestly
than ever. 1t not only employs logic, re-
proach, retort and defiance, but sabres, rife
and cannon. Do you look through this in
clpient war quite to the end, and see that
peace and harmony in the subject of slave
ry? If SO, pray enlighten me, and show
me how long the way is which leads to that
repose. The Free States are loyal, and will
always remain So
Their foothold on the continent is firm and
sure. Their ability to maintain themselves
unaided by the present Constitution is es-
tablished. The slaves hitherto have been
loyal, and trust they may ever remain so !;
but if disunion should ever come, it would
come in the form of secession of the slave
holding States. Then that power would rath-
err be intolerably supreme in this Republic,
or it would strike for independence or exclu-
sve domination. Then the Free and Slave
States of the Atlantic, divided and warning
with one another, would disgust the Free
and Slave States of the Pacific, and they
would have sufficient justice for withdrawing
from Union productive of safety and lber-
ty to themselves, and no longer holding upl
the cherished hopes of mankind.
Mr.. President, the Continental Congress
of 1888, on resigning the trust which it had
discharged with signal fidelity, into the hands
of the authorities elected under the new
Constitution, and in taking leave of their
constituents addressed to the people of the |
United States this memorable injunction -
s'Let it never be forgotten that the cause of
the United States has always been the cause
of human nature. Let us recall the precious
admonition. Let us examine the ways which
we have pursued hitherto under the light
thrown on them by that injunction, we shall
find on doing so that we have forgotten NOR
al right in the pursuit of material greatness,
and we shall cease henceforth from practis-
ing on ourselves the miserable delusion that
we can safely extend empire when we shall
have become reckless of the obligations of
Eternal Justice and faithlcss to the interests
of universal freedom.

The steamers Falls City and Equator, up
from Lake Pepn yesterday morning, report
the Lake open, so that boats can pass.
The high winds that have prevailed for the
past two days have cleared out the Lake and
at the same time perhaps prevented boats
from passing up.
We understand Lake st. Croix is also
open.

up yesterday with full load of passengers
and two barges in tow. The Equator leaves
for the sNme destination this evening.
CORRECTIoN.--In its news summary yes
terday, the Minncsotian was made to speak
as follows:
"Messrs. Foulke and Marshall, members OF
the House from Illinois, whose seats were
contested, have been confirmed in their
seats"
Mr. Foulke was the. claimant of the seat
| from Illinois made vacant by the election OF
Hon. Lyman Trumbull to the U. S. Senate
The House instead of giving Mr.. F. the
seat, have declared it vacant, and requested
the Governor of Illinois to order a new cleo
