THE OAL © Ta AFOL™ONTS OF TEE UTED StaTe— Our undertaking is the abolition of American slavery, every part and parcel of it, To this und ing we are prompted by impartial love for the white man and the black man, for the slavebolder and the slave, and by su- yee 7 ee Him who gave His Son to die for ali men, “Themenne We employ aro moral and pollical. They means we employ are are prayer to God and ke ogee with man, and votes ‘that agree with and to prayer and argument. Another President election is approaching. Can we rely on any of the great of our country to do our work in that election? noxe of them. None of them go for the aboiiticn of slavery. Only one of them is so nape bere G _ even icpes ane anti-slavery is but a single point. repubiican ‘opposes introduetion of sla into the Territories, but endorses its constitutionalit, ail the slave States. It lets alone the wh we trade, not only that between the States but the coastwise trade also, which is car- vied op under the sanction and regulations of Ooh- 8. It lets alone slavery inthe Districts of Columbis. it even Jets alone the Fugitive Slave bill, amd well it may, for it fully admits that all the Staten, and does not deny that all the Territories also, are the constitutional hunt- ing ground for slaves. The republican party would have Kaxeas a free State. Nevertheless it would aliow the shaveholder a safe pursuit over all {ts prafries and through all its towns after his bleeding and broken- hesrted fugitives. ‘We need not have raid all this to prove that we have no right to rely on the republican party to do our work in the coming eleeticn. Enough to this ead is the fast that it is not an abolilion party, and that we are aboli- ticniste. Enough to this end is the fact that riavery, which we are trying to abolish, this party spreads its wing over, and denies our right fo aboiish, Rough to this end is it, that whilst we bold slavery tobea pre-emi- nent piracy, and naked ou:law, and thai the constitution ly does not, but could not legalize it; this party, on the contrary, regards our enceavor to liberate the milhone ot siaves a6 © war upon the constitution and » violation of law. Let it not pe supposed that we undervalue the charac- ver of the memters of the republican bei Not of them are our personal friends—esteemed and dé by ns. A consideranle portion of them, we tras: abolitionists at heart, and subscribe to our principles. But the more excellent the character of the memvers of this party, the more injurious the false policy which they have ruffered to be stamped upon the party. That such men should make such concessions to slavery, is lament- able indeed. Alas, for freedom, whem her own pro’essed friende can consent to yield so much to slavery in ex- change for so little for freedom. Ie {t said that policy dictates tne adoption of « platform on which all cam stand who are opposed to the extension of slavery, be the degree or character of their opposition what it may. And is it argued and expected that the republican party, though starting on low grouad policy, will rine into an abolition party? We answer that such a liey will, from its own inevitable influence, keep and ae ‘down the party that adopts it. Hence, should the republican party get the reins of govenment, it will endeavor to satisfy the nation by restoring the Miescuri compromise, and acquieeing, at every other Point, in the present possessions and practices. Thou- tauds in the republicsn party mean that it shall work the overthrow of slavery, and doubtless many a slave- holder fears this result. Nevertheless, the success of the republican party may prove the confirmation rather than the subversion of slavery, the most authoritative and effective endorsement oi slavery, besause endorsed by anti slavery men. It ie manifest, then, that we, who refuse all concession to slavery, and’all terms with whatever piracy, must lay our accoust with doing our own work in this elec: We mut nominate our candidates and vote for them, do what we can to persuade others to vote for thei Why should we despair ef electing them? Mighty will be the appeal of our principles 10 ail who love justice and liberty for all. In their bosoms the motto of the repub- Viean perty : ‘Slavery secttonal—hverty nations!,” can awaken no enthusiasm, and call up no response. The worde thet tell our truthful, glorious, heavenly princi- ple: ‘Slavery for none—berty for ell’”’—there axe the worde that bave power to unlock their hearts, and enlist their sympathies, and fire their zeal. Thoneande msy come to us, who would never consert to go to them. Thousands may desert their standard to gather a-ound curs. Why, indeed, should xot the whole repyb icon party do tbis’ The comparatively Se for which it goes, we go for also, And shon'd they refrain from coming to us, because in addition vo this we go for other and immeasurably greater good? Think us not extcava- gant when we say, that it is far from improbable toa: the republican party will come to our standard. Another greats Cutrege at the hends of the ch as the slavehter cf a hundred m there will quickly be but two political parties in the ua ion— one party vo bill siavery, and another to save it. A varty to abolirh si anc a party to defend is will be the nly poviica! pariies for which there will thva be the Jeast demand. This was victas!ly admitted by Abijah Wann when amid the loud applause cf the ‘tteourg Convention, he seid :-— ¢ government proceed to the shedding of a sing’e crop of biocd, tor the purpose of having the intamous ise +» the der snfSan Legisia‘ure enforeed, J give it to yr es my de- Mbern'e conviction, are on my responsivility Fn c'tzen, that ft wil be the ena of human slavery in this In such an event, wha: room would there os for the republican party, with ins distinct admission that «‘ the slaveholoing interest in the Staies where it exists, is en- titled, uncer the constitction, like all othor !>al int este, to urmunity from the interferences of the general government?’ In sueb an event, what room would there bs for the republican party, @ party ‘‘ disclaiming any intention to interfere with slavery in the States wnere it > In such an event, what room would there bs for the republican party, whose sonvertion referred to ‘was presided over by @ saveholder, representing s slavo- holding constituency, and bringing with him, as he him- welf stated, a ‘Southern platform,” designed, as he him- self sisted, to restore the Missouri compromise as “ the seeurity of the slave institution,’ a party that, lixe the Janus laced Co.onization Society, has fta pro-slavery for the South, and its anti-slavery appeal for the North—s party in which sisvehoiders and anti slavery men are to unite for the common object of a mutual compromise that shall be ‘‘ the finale of all ex'sting commo jops,’’ and that shall nevertheless leave the slave in his chaia We murt not. however, conc:rn ourselves inorcinately with the question whetber there will be few or many to come to ue. We should find sufficient encouragement to xo forward im the assurance that God is with us. in claiming a8 we do the immediate and anconiivionai itbe- ration of every Flave, and in denying, as we do, the pos- sibility of law for slavery, we cannot doubt that we nave the civine spprotation and the divine biessing. Meet with us, then, brethren; at Syracuse, on Wednes- day, the 26th day cf next May, for the purpose o! nomi- rating wen for President and Vico rresi¢ent oi the United Stater, who have the ability, the fategrity and the courage to assert their na and who will wield their officta! power for the deliverance of every A cerl- can slave, for the deliverance of erery American s'ave hol¢er, ard for the salvation of the whole country. We confess that we expect to see great numbers of you om thateccasion. We confess, too, that we sbould expect to see stil] greater numbers of you but for our appre- Deption that most of you are still in the nabit of Ioking to others than abolitionists, and walt: ing for others than abolitionists to do your work. Jn 1848, you must wait to ree what ‘he Buffalo ple:form party wonid do. It did nothing bat die. In 1852 you rane; wait to see woat the Pittsburg platform m party would do. at dié nothing but die. And now, will you wait to at the second Pittsburg platéorm party willdo? Chat is jurt ae sure todie as were the others. At ite very birth, it refuses to inseribe on its benner the motto of its predecessors, ‘No more slave States,” and rallies in ccmpany with slavebelders, on the one issue of rentu ing the infamoun Missour! compromise, in which freedom ‘was betrayed, the slave power enthroned, and ite career of enceese’ul aggreamion isaugurated. ‘anti-slavery party that does not rise to the level atclition party is without root, and must witicr away. To expect svecese for this new Pittabarg party— fo: this pettey of stopping the progress of slavery at one point, whilec indorming and guacaoteeing the great meee of it—is scnareely lean folly tban to expect to nave the by an atteropt to stay the fismer a! one print, whiist the imeendiarier are permitved to fan the fiames at every ovker.

Comonfort iss trump, and after having kmocked the Puebla rebels into a cocked hat, he has remitted them to the South as a present to Alvarez, serving as common soldiers, with a musket on their backs, generals, colonels asd all, which certainly iss treat, and it is only to be hoped that some weak hearted fools, who are praying for ‘their pardon already, may be sent away also. Just let him ge on in this way, and no doubt this country may ‘become semething; but for God’s sake let him be firm, and let the revoiutionists get punishment instead of re. ward for once in their lives, and the nation will go ahead and no mistake. Besides, he has gained the great object, to have to psy and maintain a good many good-for-no. hings the less, who it would have beem difficult to get id of inany other way. However, he bas done more: he has dared to puta dridle upom the clergy—nex: to he army, or perhaps above it, the greatest cancer of he country—and this eminent servise is beyond ali praise; infact, we have seen it done, and atill don’: be- eve it yet. ‘You will recollect that the whole fuss was kicked uo by the so-called law of justice, which subjected the clergy and army to the common courts in ali eases of common crimes. This did not suit the holy fathers, and therefore they spent enormous sums of the church property, » great part stolen from legitimate heirs, on tue deatabed ef sinners, who by giving it up were made to believe they could cheat the devil of his due, and so to say, bribe the A’mighty, in order to pay men calling them- {Ives officers, to go and fight the legitimate and liberal government, speculating upon the ignorance of the peo- ple, whom they tried to make believe that their religion was in danger, for which purpose all kinds of sacrilegious tricks and blasphemous language was used, priests for- getting themseives and their holy calling, so far ast> Dscome sssassins, and provoking everybody to commit the same crimes, Now this was proved, and our worthy President, after g the rebela, decreed an inter- vention to take p! with respect to the church property of Puebla, which was earried out immediately—the pro- ceeda of the same to be used for purposes it was legiti- mately destined for, and desiden te pay lonsee of pri vate jurirg the 61 ions of wounded, and assist- Pettit ied ped Baas of the killed, and also de- frayimg ihe expenses of the government. ee yon Lave the bishep in a muss; be dares to re. fuse the intervention, to threaten with all kinds of ima. — stuff, excommunion, &., but all to noavail.

He prete that the property cannot be em- peltes ot se than in matters ordained by the holy err, and cites ali kinds of authors, from the time of the Reman emperors down to Plo IX; but he is flatly told ‘hat just from this reason, for having made rach a bad use of thore goods and ebattels, they are taken away from btm, and that according to his own quotations: he fe the ene sutject to excommanion and all these sort of thin; bral bach tharld admired : i Leeched | they go with the government and sou! pet ‘very ‘ell that nopody attacks the religion,’ and therefore vhey lift no hand to defena the priest, who hay ttewed #0 long ace their pockets alread y. ‘This shows plainly that the mass of fhe peo ie are aot #0 ignorant as was generally supposed, and if they only stick to it, and proceed with otner improvements at the same time, something may be made of them yet.

[From the New Orleans Picayune, April 27.} Oar intelligence from Mexico, feeneee various chan| nels, compriees & number of items of considerable in! rest, in addition to what we have already given. Tre most important of these we can scareely believe correct. A One of there is to the effect that very serious difficult had arisen between the Mexican govermment and pear! the whole of the ciplomatic eorps, on what grounds have not heard stated. It might ve: asidly be ima, gined that the Barron & Forbes case tf it have caused difficulty with the United States and Beiuish Ministers, and that an order, issued with respect to Spanish bond may bave had a similar effect with the Spanish Minister, It may aiso be considered probable that the Sardin Minister, and others from Catholic governments, maj have been offended by the determined course purened b; President Comonfort towards the clergy of Puebla. Thi departure of the Sardinian Minister from Mexico some, be assumed as giving color to the report that is seme éifficulty between him and the government; but we have no information that such is the fast. To such| a height, however, is the difficulty generally said to hay gone, that the report alleges that all the desig min ters, with the exception of the representative of Lou Napolcon, were about to rccelve their passports, Th very suddenness and extremity of such a course seem 80} utterly improbable to us that we could not but doubt! the rumor, even though there were no other greunds for| doing 20. These, however, we have. The Vera Cras zere. to the 22d ult., do not even contain a telegray int to the effect, nor do eitper of the papers to ‘he 1 or letters to the 19th, from the capital, say the sind, although they do notice the ubjests of difficul- ty. Om the contrary, one private communicstion we have received, dated the 19th, sayvs:— Order reigns in the republic. bands of disaftected: in the Btates of Mexico and Michoaeam have been over- come. Something, however, has just occured which may have important results. The govermment bas cloned the holders of bonds of the Spanish debt to de.iver them up, or give seeurity for their embargo. The bonds were surrendered equivalent toa treaty. 1t is feared that if this govern- ment does not yield, as is jast, since it has mo it to act in this manner, difficu:ties may arise between and Mexico. The reason which is alleged in the report or rumor, for the French Minister having been exempted from the stated general diplomatic difficulty, appears to us slmost curiously inconsistent—namely, that he bed received special instructions some time since to protect the ra Nuneio. It could scareely have been ht, some ago, that the Nuncio would need protection in Mexico; and if he should have needed it, it ie difficult to see haberd that aoe protect the French Minister from diplomat culty. Here we subjoin another account of existing difficul- ties, which bas reacbeu us, with the sceompanying re- marks. These aceoust: and reports, taken altogetber, at all events show that Mexico has not yet pertectiy settled into quietness and prosperity: ~ A dec:ee is about to be issued, commanding the Board of Public uredit to issue ponde to the smount of. $12,000,000, and provicing, tbat with these bonds alone, payments shat] be madv in the customs and other govern- ment offices; that the ssid board shall pay into the pub- lie treasury from $400,000 to $600,000 per m mth, ‘out of the proceeds ot the sale of the said bonds, and that the Valance shall be placed to the pubiis eredit. Tne first ales are to be mode at a discount of 3 pereent. A great deal of excitement has been created with refe- rence to the Spenish Convention. The government called or s revison of tne credits included in the treaty, which he Spanish Minister, Lazas, opposed and resisted, on the fon that the treaty cid not authorize it, and because wo revisions had already been had. Attirs being inthis condition, the Mexican mment ordered many Spanish creditors to return the bonas and the dividends they had (Spent Gurlog ihe relay, to mhiah che Seauih gover cepcnit during the revision, to whieh the S govern- ment would not assent. The creditors refused to with the order to depesit them, and the goverament bas laid an embargo on them. It is hence said, with no ttle pro jety, that the debtor is laying am embargo on a ert Th been other occurrences in Mexico which er more directly affect us. It is aiready known thst the wealtny house of Barron, Forbes & Co., of fep.c, hae been persecuted, and visited with unprevokei outrage through the hate and envy of rivals, and that Mr. Forbes, United States Consul, had been exiled since January, a# till is, The result of cur not having ® representative in Tepic is, that Americans have suffered, and are vie- timized by the authorities of the place. Kur the purpore of persecuting them, local Oom- andavte preiended that a conspiracy had beer formed, and ordered Mr. William Collier, the mama- ger cf Barron, Forbes & Co.'s factory, called Jaaja, to be arrested, He was kept four days in solitary ¢ under constant guard, and in the meantime, the factory and Coliier’s house were searched, and it became aeces- sary to close ihe fc it.

Collier asked who wad bis aceuser or creditor, that he might let him know whe he was, and was told that the proof sgainst him consist- ed of an anonymous or unsigned letter, whien, in very dad English, ap} to have been directed to the direc- tor ot snother factory in Guadalajara, called Fl Baten. Collier got irritated at this barbarous anonym us pro- cceding, which nowhere, nor by the laws of Mexico, are held as causes for arrest, and he expressed hi in. corresponding terma, What he seld in this deciaration was written duwn by his judge, and Collier refusing to sign it, beeanse what he ned not ssid was in- serted in it, the Judge returned tc hie writing. Colher ‘was set at liberty, with the restric'ion of nos veing per- mitted to leave the city, or the fac'ory of Jar bat he did not wish to return to it, as he did not believe himself sefe in it, and he then obisined permission to to Sa ies tet acoreats pemnats rty days.
