Langston received bis sentence on Wednes-
day, P. NJ. to pay fine of 500, and costs, and
remain in the custody Of the Marshal 20 days.
On the inquiry being put it he had anything to
say in mitigation of his crime, he addressed the
court for half an hour, riveting the atten-
tion Of the audience, and called out marks of
applause and admiration, and we should think,
from the report of il in the Herald, that it was
characterized by more good sense, good temper,
force and dignity, than anything that has pro-
ceeded either from the Bench or the Prosecut-
ing Attorneys, since the commencement of these
trials. The yellow man seems to have a deci-
ded advantage over the red one.

MExIco.-The course of our government, in
espousing the cause of the liberals or Jaurez
party in Mexico. is causing some embarrassment
to our citizens in that country, aud placing the
United Stains in antagonsm there to Great
Britain and France. The Jaurez government
is not established yet at the capital, nor nearer
it than for months. Miramon rules at the capi-
tai, and, provoked by our taking up for his ene-
mics, has driven the American consul out, and
is exposing Americans within bis reach, to the
loss of property and life Our new minister,
Mr. Nc Lane, finds no encouragement to stay 10
the country, even at Vera Cruz and proposes
to go on ship-board in the harbor, and wait till
things clear up little more, which it is prom
ised they will do soon, though in what direction
no one can tell. The British minister recog-
nizes and sustains the Miramon government, and
since we have taken up for the opposite party.
be announces that the British claims against
Mexico will satisfy themselves by the seizure Of
revenues at Vera Cruz which, il done, would
take the liie-bloOd out of the JaureS govern
ment The eagerness of the administration TO
make trade for portion Of Mexican territory,
has apparently led it into premature and un
wise esPousal Of a struggling faction as the real
government, which it neither is by law or fact.
Gen. and President Mramon says the refusal Of
bis government to give or sell the United States
a portion Of lis territory is the reason why Mr..

EDWARD Bates RECORD AND VIEWS ON THE
SLAVERY QesuoN.-The st. Louis Democrat
the organ OF the Missouri emanci pariOnists, thus
lifts the veil which Mr. Edward Bates dropped
before his views of the slavery question 10 his
late political letter to the old wings of New
York city,
"Hls protest against slavery agitation
and agitators, must be read in the light of
his antecedents. In 1885, as even the Mis-
souri, Republican will acknowledge, he was
an emancipationist We know that be has
not recanted that faith. He was opposed
to the repeal of the Missouri compromise,
and the border rufian policy of the Pierce
administration. He is opposed to the
Douglas territorial theory, which has been
reduced to hideous farce by the Utah
trial He dissents from the Dred Scott
decision, and still maintains the constitu-
tionality of congressional free soil enact
menss for the territories. He was opposed
to the LecOmpton constitution, the English
bill, and all other schemes of the slavery
propaganda. He is opposed to the extern
sion o. slavery, both within and without
the boundaries Of the Republic, and even
if he Rad not said so we should deduee
from this the corrallary that he is opposed
TO flibusterism, aud the annexation Of slave
soil, or of free soil, because it may be easi-
y transformed into slave soil. To sum up
he has recently declared that he looked
hopefully TO the day when Missouri would
be without slave. Mr.. Bates has shrunk
from public life, he has not hesitated TO per-
form the public duties of leading private
citizen, aud events which will probably
transpire in our own state this summer, will
test bis opinions and statesmanship."

gs~ William d. Bishop of Bridgeport, Ct,
W HON the president has appointed Commission
er of Patents, is democratic whig, a lawyer,
young and able, but, going in for slavery and
Lecompton with the zeal of fresh convert, was
voted out of Congress by the free constituency
of his district last month. We wish all the
lame and halt doughfaces that the president is
called upon to splinter with government timbe
and feed with treasury pap would average one
half as ft for there places as Mr.. Bishop does
for this one. The patent commissionership is
iairly due to the North all the while, though
rarely thus granted and to Connecticut whose
citizens take out more patents 10 proportion to
their numbers than those of any other state,
when she can offer good man for it.
THE DIFFERENCE South indicts the
slave traders, whose criminality is piracy but
no judicial tribunal can be found to convict
them. This has been abundantly illustrated in
Georgia, Of late. But let q northerner, in obe-
dience to the best impulses of his nature. offer
assistance to a refugee from slavery, and no diG-
6eulty whatever, lies 10 the way of his cOnvic-
tion, harrassment and persecution by his fellow
citizens of the north. The re-opening of the
slave trade at the south in infractioD OF law ap-
pears not to disturb any ones peculiarly sacred
regard for law here at the north, but the utter
ance of a sentiment in opposition to the fugi-
tive slave law, and Jefiey administration of
it, and oh the disquetude and alarm for the
safety Of the Union, that is lugubriously poured

factions of the Democracy, which meets the

retary Cass, and which, it is expected will
unite the party. The Western Democra-
CIV insist on the reinstatement of MI Doug

Green proposes to drop all discussion upon
intervention and non-interventiou, as nom
essential, and pro poses also the withdral of
all opposition to the admission of Kansas,

we have national sin Of war with the spirit OF
the saviOrs cpitOme Of divine law, but do
fence, however backhanded II may be, of the insti-
tuition and its concomitauts, and the bunting
Of the pubic heart and conscience, II not re-
voting Is at least painful TO dwell upon.
Since the rescue trials at Cleveland, were
commenced, the Rev. Mr.. WHITE Of the Ply
mouth Church, and the Rev. Mr.. THoME, Of the
Congregational Of the west side, have, 10 a
manly way, told their people how far the teach
ing Of Revelation rendered them subject to the
provisions Of laws which stand in antagoDism to
conscience, and the higher laws Of God. The
leading Presbyterian churches, so far as we are
advised, remained silent but the Rev. Mr..
BRowN, Of the Westminster school Pres
byterian - Church, has in an ingenious--and
as far as the two sideO of the question are con-
cerned--well balanced sermon, undertaken to
modify and rebuke the sentiment which gathers
around those who, 10 that city, are incarcerat-
ed and lay abound" in prison. Such is
the effect of the gentlemans effort The SER
mon is, and admonition osiensibly, against the
north, judging the south, and the south Judging
the north, Slavery is graded as an "evil next
to sin" and the fugitive slave law is wrong, but
it cannot but be treated with consideration.
The sermon has some good and amiabe teach
ing, but has little TO commend it to manly piety.
1t finds pleasant feature on one side. then a
balancing one on the other. A wrong here, q a
wrong there, but the pro-slavery tendency of the
author is palpable, the freedom ofjudging, which
be takes from bis hearers, is used with a dex-
terty on his own part, which shows unmistaka-
bly,, that the right Of private judgment is doc
trine that needs TO be used with some grains of
allowance The sermon can only have, among
independent thinking men, the effect to dwarf
both the gentleman and his piety, to the extent
of the nOtoriety acquired by the unfortunate
effort.
We never hear Of the sacred desk,-the min
listers Of that religion established and propoga-
ted by the Son of Coo, going into an apology
or defense of locofocoism and slavery, without
our convictions being strengthened that the
man that does it has sadly mistaken his calling
