ONE-SIDED TRUsT.-Ex-Senator Wall Of
New Jersey, who led off last evening in the
course Of Democratic lectures so kindly de-
signed for enabling our citizens "tO hear the
other side, declared Il at "the fault Of the
age bad beeu in attempting to hasten the
iulhllment Of the DEGREES of Divine PrOyi-
dtnce in regard to slavery This is In
pOrtant information. OF course Mr.. Wall
exactly y hat what the DEGREES of ProvI-
denee respecting slavery were. though he
does not say it. 1t is to be presumed, how
ever, from what he does say, that slavery
was reserved for the enjoyment of the pres
ent and several future generations, when the
North, provoked by the rebellion, suddenly
rose up and thwarted the will Of Providence.
At any rate, this is Just about the philoso-
ply of many old Democratic teachers, such
as Ex President Lord of Dartmouth Col
lcgc, Mr. George 7. Curtis, the Seymours,
&c. When slavery was in full blast, they
enjoincd upon all to let it alone. because
Providence had wise designs for it and
would bring it to an end IN due season.
But now, when by the most miraculous
events OF modern times, slavery has disap-
peared, these men seem to have lost all their
confidence in the proyidential control Of this
matter. The fetters and the lashings, in
their view, were ordained from above-the
emancipation and the elevation Of the black
race are in defiance Of Heaven, and axe to
be deplored on earth. Truly, such men
only write themselves down as the blind
deyotees OF slavery, with something Of Its
serYile nature IN their own hearts R0StOE

Mr.. Conncss took ospccia! exceptions to
the manner OF the words Of Mr.. Sumner and
declared that he was tired Of the lash Of the
leader Of the Senate lie had enIeavOred,
and he s.Iould ondCayor, to do biz duty, but
he did not choose to b9 accuse Of fearing to
assume responsibility.
Mr Sumner did not reply, and there was
no vote taken on the amendment
" hen the vote was reached on the nam
bill and all oil the Senators in the chamber
had voted, the tally lists stood 10 yeas TO Is

the bill was regarded as lost, but Senator'S
Chandler and Cattell appeared IN season and
their votes in the affirmative saved it, The

THE Baltimore american thus speaks of
the colored delegates who attended the re-
cent Republican State Convention in that
city:
"Cleanly and respectable in garb, and
most decorous and orderly in their demeanor,
their faces beaming with intelligence, glad.
ness and joy, they occupied the seats assign
ed them, by the side of their white colleagues,
watching with an eager interest, quite touch
ing to behold, this great era in their lives
the first formal and practical recognition on
the part of their white fellow citizens of the
great truth of the common brotherhood OF
man-of that Divine utterance that God
hath made of one blood all men that dwell
on the face of the earth Nor were these
colored men mere spectators. While they
evinced modesty and difhdence that demo
ted their good sense and good breeding, they
were by no means lacking in giving intelli
gent expressions of their views and, when
called upon to give utterance to their senti
ments, did it intelligently and judiciously
Those of them who were called forth BY
their white friends to address the Conven
ton, astonished all by the ability and elo
quence with which they presented theil
views. These speeches we earnestly com
mend to our readers as the best evidence W,
can give of the capacity of our colored fellow
citizens for intelligently exercising all tn
rights of the American citizen"

Stewards letter, he issued an order in refer

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

New YORK, May 15.-The steamer Colum-
bus has arrived with Havana dates of l1th.
q Imperial reports from Vera Cruz say that
the Liberals have been repused at Querata-
ro and were being driven towards San Luis
Potosi by Miramon, who had sent three
thousand men to relieve the city of Mexico
The wounding and death of Miramon is
positively denied.
Macmillan again proposes a congress to
confirm him or appoint chief to whom he
will resign the power
The Havana Diario has letter stating
that Maximilian arrived in the city of Mex
leo at the head of 5000 men. On the ar
rival of Maximilian battle was given to Diaz
and he was completely defeated, taking all
his artillery and fifteen hundred prisoners,
who were Immediately incorporated into
the Imperial army
General Alvarez, owing to the execution
| of the Imperial prisonets at Puebla, with
| drew his command from Vera Cruz by the
steamer bringing them from Diaz, and will
| disband them.
Passengers from Vera Cruz by the steamer
bringing this news pronounce it all false
except that Miramon has not been killed.
| A gentleman who left the City of Mexico
on the 2lst of April, is certain that no one
left for Vera Cruz after that date that Mar
quez had about seven thousand troops, anc
was closely besieged by Diaz, with clever
thousand cavalry; and that no battle hat
been fought for some time; that Marques
had abandoned Tacubaya and Cbapultepec
that the aqueducts supplying the City o
Mexico with water we're cut, and that M
food entered the city. The city was sup
Piled with water from artesian wells.
On the 2Sth Queretaro was more closel,
besieged than ever, and the garrison having
no cannon shot were firing stones. Tht
diary of the siege of Vera Cruz, published
by the newspapers, has been stopped b,
order of the Imperial authorities.
The defeat of Juarez before Queretaro ant
the City of Mexico is confirmed by advice
from Havana.

eW- The proposed union Of the Old and
New School Presbyterian Churches has
already been announced. The committee
who have agreed upon the terms of union
have, it is said, among other things, pre-
scribed that no rule or. preceden. which
does not stand approved by both bodies
shall be of any authority until established
in the united body, and that judicatories,
ministers and people of the united Church
shall guard against all needless offensive
reference to slavery. Thus the Presbyte-
rians Of America bid fair to end a religious
difference which has existed for thirty
years.

Capt. Marshman, from Havana on the 20th,
we are in receipt of highly important news
from Mexico.
Senor Don Jose Ramirez, son of Maxi
milian's late Secretary of State, left the City
of Mexico on the 2Sth of April for Havana.
He reports that when he left Mexico Porfirio
Diaz had his batteries planted for the siege
of the capital
There were nineteen pieces playing on the
Peral-villo gate and that of san Cosme was
being attacked.
The main points of defense that Marquee
had were the gates. He has $4,000 men to
defend the capital
The executions at Puebla were ordered by
General Diego. Alverez, at the moment, was
assaulting fortifcation, and when General
Diego heard of it he ordered it to be stopped
and on the following day allowed his prison
ers to go and choose place of refuge.
Gen. Noviega, the commander of the
troops that surrendered at Puebla, is now
living in quiet at Jalapa, which is occupied
| by Republican troops.
