The Sonora FiIlibusters.

Fillibusterism does not seem to thrive
well on this continent in these latter days.
The last mails from Mexico bring the Mex
lean accounts Of the capture and execr-
ton of the Californian fllibusters who re-
Gently made foray into the Mexican State
of Sonora, for the purpose of giving the
people liberty, and they claimed, but with
a view, no doubt, TO acquisition, annexation
and adding to slave territory in this Republic.
The fllibusters numbered some 100 10 $50,
and the Mexican account says:
They had seized and occupied the town
of Coborca, where they were attacked on the
LIST Of April, by a body of National Guards.
who succeeded in gaining possession of
of the church. The Mexican commander
was MORALLY wounded, and nine fllibusters
killed. For four days the fillibusters re-
manned in two houses opposite the chnrch,
and in the meanwhile the besieging force
of Mexicans increased from 800 to 700 men.
On the evening of April 8, one of the hou-
ses in the possession of the fllibusters was
fired. The flames communicated rapidly
to the other, and in half an hour both builc-
ings were in a blaze. An attack was also
made upon the besieged from without, and,
among other things, two barrels Of powde'
belonging to the fllibusters exploded, doing
dreadful execution. The survivors, to the
number of SO, with their commander, Cap.
Crsbbe, who had been wounded on the lst,
were finally compelled to surrender at dis
%cretion, and were subsequently ordered for
execution on the 9th.

No SLAvE-CArcHIEG IN MExIco.-The
new Constitution of Mexico contains a pro-
vision which will not be likely to give
much satisfaction Mt Washington or to in
crease the chance of pecun:ary aid afford
ed to the Mexican Government. That ar
tele, wholly repudiating the fancy inter
probation of the rights Of man, expressly
declares that all persons in Mexico are born
free, and that he who may have been a slave
elsewhere, the moment he touches. the
Mexican soil, becomes free thereby, and en-
titled to the protection of the laws. Not
only is the Government thus expressly pro-
hibited from entering into any extraordina-
~ arrangement, such as the United States
have often sought to obtain for tho surren-
der of fugitive slaves, but to guard against
any underhand arrangement of this sort, it
is also provided that no treaty for the e1-
tradition extradition of criminals shall in
clude those who, in the contry whe.e the
crime was committed were held in the condi-
ton of slavery. This completely blocks the
game of slave hunters in recovering fugitive
slaves under the character of fugitive GRIM
inals; and it certainly is but reasonable not
to hold men amenable to laws which afford
no protection 10 them.-M. y: Tribune.

How DR.. Ross Omitted the Fifth
VePae.

DR.. Ross preached on Sabbath in an
Anti-Slavery ChuEch. in Cleveland. We
take the following particulars in regard to
the sermon of q distinguished Southern
clergyman from the Cleveland Leader:
"The pastor made the opening prayer
and uttered a solemn and earnest petition
to Heaven for the slave, and that slavery
might be banished from the earth, the
distinguished gentleman, forgetting that
the HYMN books in this part Of the coun-
try had not been arevised and corrected"
to suit the peculiarities of pro-slavery reli-
pion, opened the book lying upon the desk,
and commenced reading a hymn at ran
dom. The first four verses went off SWIM
mingly, but coming to the fifth the readers
face turned suddenly the color of q blood
beet, and his voice sank almost 10 q whis-
per. What was the matter2 The con-
gregation referred to their hymn books,
when a broad smile ran like a wave of
mirth all over the house-old deacons bit
their lips snd strove to look grave, and
the younger class of the congregation al
most "laughed right ont" The last verse
pronounced a earse upon the oppressor,
and 6reathed a prayer for the suffering
tondman- Shades of the Supreme Court
and the Fugitive Law, what a position
was that for a minister who openly con-
tends that slavery is of God, and sanction
ed and sanctiied by Heaven! The Rev.
gentleman was for a moment nonplussed-
the situation was uncommon tight-but
he rallied, and proved himself equal to the
occasion, by shouting to the singers,
with a face like an Indian summer sunset
after a storm, "You wW omit the fifth
perse."
