The last week has been one of stirring events and of groat excitement for the usually quiet, citizens of Monterey- For the first time during the revolution we have beon in ho fear of an immediate attack. About ten days since jt Was announced thet Ziazua bad returned from Toxas to Bis native city, Lamasos, and on arrival had gathered together his friends ant those of Vidaurri, from that plaze ‘and some of tho avighdoring towns, to attempt the ov qhrow of the present government. Tt was said that ho Drought with him a largeamount of arms and ammuai- tion, and the number of his troops was stated by rumor fo be from 300 to 600 men. Such an ansonaeement could | not fail to cause genoral alarm and anxiety; for Zaazaa ie | Known to be 8 man of determination, of great porsoua! courage, and of uodoubted great military capacity; and as Doth he and Vidaurri have many personal friends, more — particularly in the northern portion of this State, there | ‘was much ground for tho apprehension felt. To increase the difficulty, bis frends im this city, taking advan- ‘tage of the temporary absence of Governor Arranberri | ‘and bis suite at a neighboring village, were proparing | a new promunciamiento in favor of Vidaurri. This, | however, was discvvered in timo, and the chief movers yo it, an well as ail suspected of having friendship for | Vidaurti, were arrested, and thus this movoment was vip- ped in the bud. The garrison of this city at the time was { very smal'—tbe larger part having been sent in pursuit ofa | band of rebbev# aud Indians, who, as I wrote you in my last, | | | NORTHERN MEXICO. were approaching tbe chy; but by great exertion, and Dy senaing out the armed police to impress soldiers, a force of some three Hundred men was raised and sent ont under the command of Genera! Zaragosa, to attack | Zuazua aud prevent bis entrance iute this city. Zaragosa | progeeded to the point where Zuazua was oacamped, and tt | ‘was hoped tbat the autter would be there decided; but, con- trary toexpectations, Zuazus, througa his better Kaowloage of the ground, ava not wishing t risk a batile there, suc- ceeded in evariug bim, and by @ circuitous route through the mountains, arrived in ihe neighborhood of this cicy some twelve boars previous t the return of Zaragosa; and, on arrival; he sont a message to Arranberri, request- ing that a commision shoul! be seat to him to see if the difficulties could 0 t be arranged, without the shedding of Divod. Bis request was granted, and thrae persons were appointed to outer with bia upon the subject. Zuazua’s Proposivous wore that Arranberri should surrender the Gflice to the President of the Tribunal of Justic+, ‘and that ail prisoners on each side should be released and that he would then aismiss his forces and retire from the country. . These pro ositions were declined by Arran- Derri, be considering biraself to be the constituuonsl Governor duly elected by the Logislatare. We were then in momentary expectation of an attack upon the city; but Zaragoea ‘having now arrived’ with bis troops, after « forced journey of Sixty miles, contigence was ta some degree restored. he arms of which you have heard so much, purebased by Vidaurri, were on their pus.

The Abolition Convention—‘peeckes on John Browa—Heery Ward Beecher En- dursea by Lucretia Mott—The Union Meeting—Scemes of Confusion wad Ex- citement. ‘The Avt Slavery Convention reassembled on Thurs- day, the 16tb inst,, at the Assembly Bulldiogs, Tenth and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, rs ‘The astemblage was not so large as the previous day, there being & aumber of empty benches near the on trance door. ‘The audience comprised about one hundred and fifty persous, @ majority of them femalos, Two colored man and two light mulatto females were among those present, Several of the women brought their ‘knitting’ with them. and were iudustriously ougaged in maaufacturiag stockings while the speaking was going on. Among these last was the Ponarebie Lannie. Mite who on a meet ting Leedlee briskly al w a # ‘Jarmes Mott presided. Joseph A. Dugdale made a short dress, Be Rormson, of Ohio, said that ne looked upon John Brown 4g @ model abolitivaist, both in desiga and purpose, ana tis dvath was glorious. Atter extolliug Browa in ths highest atrain, he said the cowards were not all in Virgi- nia, but that they occupied the auti slavery pulpita or North; and he denounced Henry Ward Bocober as beiag recreabt to the cause; for although he (Beecher) advocat- ed the use ot Sharpe’s rifles in Kansas, he was too timid to aivocate their employment to emancipate the slaves of inia, John Brown, be said, did not perish by tho power ot Maryland or Virgiuia, but by that of the nation. ‘The militia of these two states aot take him, and ‘bey bad to call im the assistance of the United Statoe ma- rines. The Union had played bum-bailiff to arrest Brown, If the United States government had only kept out of tho attain he believed that Johu Browa, tf he bad recruited 100 men, could bave marched trom one end of Virginia to , the otber, and liberated all the slaves. ‘The apeaker then declared that the Uoton was an alliance with pirates and villains. Applause.) He said, ‘emphatically—I am aa in- surrectionst. | want to aasert the right of every slave to rive and strike down his oppressor, the samo as Wash- ington did in the Revolution. (Murmurs of applause.) He trusted the people of the North would rise, in peaceable insurrecuon, against the. pro slavery: pulpit, politicians and presecs, ad demand the abolition of slavery, which will be the only means of averting the | terrible calamity which rust come npon tho slavohokler when the slaves ehall rise aad demand theit freedom This course would relieve the Northern people from the responsibility of the blood which might be shed by the slaves in achieving their freedom. Leckatia Mort difered with the speaker abont the Sharp's rifle instrumentality, and hoped that the in. cuionnary movemeut would not be in the mode recommended by Mr. Robinson, but by ® revolution ia copinion. She defended. tie course of the Rev. Mr, cher Mr Rosrssow replied warm'y, and said that H. Ward Beecher was nota model abolitioust, like Jehan Brown, the crack of whose rifle oarried more consistency with tt than ali the sentimentality uttered by Beecher. As for the peace sentiments advanced by Mra. Mott, hesaid he bad met people, dressed in plain bonnets aud brow prim- med bate, who denounced physical violence, but they were not siocere; for, i their hearts, they applauied it, and be was bold to say that, in this respect, maoy of them were hypocrites: he had little or Do pationée with them, Because they came forward and voted, and belped to put into power & murderous government W hunt down the alave. These last remarks caused a “quiet sensation” among the Quaker portion of the wudlence. TukcDoRE Tit0N, of Now York, eald each one thought bis of abolishing siavery the best; but it would re- quire the ipstramentatity of the rifle, tho pulpit, the press: ‘and public opinion to accomplish it. AS. for the sympa- by of the Quakers for Brown, that was natural, as they aliacmired his intrepidity. fle had heard expressions from mavy of them that they wished Brown had succeed- ed; that he bad stopped -that’’ train, and their regret that Brown bad not atudied Scott's miliiary tactics more thoroughly. This showed their feeling towards Brown. The times are propitious for che abolition of slavery, as the question now agitated the whole éountry to its circum- fereiice. The He'por book bad assisted in producing this state of things, and Congress was daily engaged {a alver- ‘ising that book, which caused it to be spread broudaast over the land. He had goen Helper two years ago, when be could get no publisher to print the boox for him; bat now he is enjoying the profits from ile of 75,000 co- pies. He described the escape of severa’ fagitive slaves, and o sale of slaves at Richmend, Va., in. the. shadow of the monument of Patrick Henry, bearing the inscription, “Give me liberty of give me death” He urged upoa Penney lvanians to appeal to thetr Legislature to paes a Personai Liberty bill, to prevent the kidnappers from coming upon the soil of Pennsylvania, (Great applanse.) ‘O11vER JonNsON, editor of the Anti- Star Standard, was an advocate of peace, yet he revered the name of John Brown. He described. an interview, he bad with Brown. two years ago, when Brown disclosed to him his plang to effect the abolition of slavery. He told Brown he was a peace man, but he admired devotion to the slave, even in 8 man of war, He also said to Brown that he was tired of the peace policy, aud would not look with di ropa. tion upon Brown’s efforts. Brown had done his work, and jt Was Obe Of the grandest moral ever oocts Ouxt had weak Dhar we oe he as URS wag God's own workman. At this juncture the repubii- can party had begun to consider that they had no issue in the next Presidential campaign, as they had only confined themeelves to slavery in the Territories; but as tho Torri- tories bad been settled, the party found themselves with- out an issue. At this janctare John Brown had drawn his sword, and cracked the shell of slavery, and thus aroused tho whole. pation as it. had mever been aroused before. (Applause.) And this had given the party who were favorable to the anti-slavery cause an issus to go forward into thé next campaign. He ridi- culed the Union meetings held, at Boston and this city, and said they had brought on the platform all tne old politicians who bad been shelved for & gevoration past for truckling to the South, He agreed with the Southern men, and had a most sealy contempt for these -Union savers.” He said they did not represent the sentimeut of the community, He boped siavery would bo abolished witbout violence, but if it conld not be done without blood, then let it come. If the telegraph would in the morning announce that the slayes had risen and put to death their masters, he would shout in gladness, “Glory to God in Heaven.” (Loud applause.) i RS au Morr—Thee should say tho logal shedding of blood. Mr. Jonxsox—I consider the horrors of a servile war a8 nothing, compares with the crueltics daily practised by the masters upon their slaves. The teaching of aboli- tioniam was to inculeate a hatred of slavery, and in the attemptof Jobn Brown we see the offst of that téaching. He was the type of hundreds and thousands of others, who were meaitativg in their minds to do wiat he had done. Let us imitate Jobn Brown. If any of you feel in your souls you ought to do\whiat he did, in Gods name go and doit. “I thik better of a man who will do what ho thinks ¥ right, than of one who stands hesitating. (Ap- plause Miss Grew announoed that the flag at tho fair roem, at Concert Hall, had been taken down, in compliance with a request of one of the high congtables, whe said- he acted under instructions from the~Mayor.’ It- was suspended across the street, which is iv violation of a city ordinance. ‘The jady stated this, but said that fligs of charitabie and vendvolent associations were strung across tho steect without objection being mado. She supposed it was the caveo in which they were engaged. that frightened the People of Philadelphia, and they could not stand it. The flag contained a representation of a large bell, aud ‘Pro- claim liberty throughout the Iand,’? &c. She said tho officer told her they might hang an American flag if they desired, and no ove would abject. A man Jn the crowd aaked if the flags of the late Union meeting were uot hung acreas the street, Beveral voices answered, “Yea, yes, bat those people can do what they leage.”” A number of persona said they ought not to ave taken it down, but let the officers take it down them- Folves, Mirs Grew said {t was down now, and they could not undo what they had done. Lucretia Mott Ruggested ‘that as it was put acrose the street contrary to law, they. had ne cause to cape, au they did not wish t be law- reakers. ‘The meeting theh adjourned, The orowd were rapidly leaving the hall, when Sarah ‘Pugh appeared atthe door in breathless, haste and de- Bired them to come together again, a8 she had news to commonicate.

Mi1z3 opened tho meeting with a brief speech, te which he said that he had becn catied uj moet unex: pectedly to preside, but he presumed he had come there for the same purpose as those around him, to show his regard for the Union, and his abhorrence of disunion sen- timents whick had been tately uttered in National Hail, aud which be supposed wore to be ing. He did mot intend to counsel violence, suppose any one had. come with tthat view; but he did not thiak the meeting tm the hull’ shoud bave been allowed. It was the Mayor's duty to have stopped. it, instead of haviog au arasy of policemen to protect a man in the expression of treasonable doctriues, The people bad shown great forbearauce, but they might be forced to stop the diseemimation of aboliuen seutiments by vicleoce, if it was not checked by the authorities, General Miles was loudly applaude:t, and tn the course of bis remarks some of his hearers became 60 excited that they said “Let us go to. the hall’’—‘Let us stop the meet ing.” Many similar expressions were made. Joun S. Parnter followed General Miles. Ho said that the subject which had calied the mueting was one of life and death. The country was alive to the ne- cessity of checking the disuajou sentiments which had been fo freely uttered of late, and there was but ono voice on the ‘subject. ‘The Mayor should have saupped the meeting in the Hall; it was his duty to do ge, and not to protect traitors in the expression of their treason.

Several times a portion of the crowd rushed towards the Hall, but stopped in’ front and cheeret for the Union, Governor Wise and the Yiu Dominion. Qa the pavemeat in front of the buiding were two flies of policemen, while to the basement under the Hall was a large force in re- serve. In the course of the evesing the cheering was kept up io front, but no demonstration was made againt the building, thongh tho excitement was are great, At one time a rush was made for the back of the Ffall, but the crowd was composed of boys, whose object seemed to be to have some sport at the expsnse of the police, After the Hall was closed ani che lights oxtinguished, the offi- cors formed acrove the street and competied the citizens to retire, whic they did, but not without expressions of disgatisfuction at what they considered aa uawarrantable exercise of powor. 4 THE EXCITEMENT AT ME. CURTIS’ LECTURE ON THE SLAVERY QUESTION. In accordance with the published notices, Mr. George W, Curtis delivered a lecture last evening at National Hall, on “ The Present Aspoot of the Slavery Question.”” é char gel toe rge police force was om 7 poliggmen sore alifedP Atif One ur'eke blacform, wutte Roost the enmo number were scattered throughout the audience. The bail was comfortabiy filled, the mate clement being in a decided majority. few ladies were present, and most ‘of these occupied seats on the platform, which was filled to its utmost capacity. There were not many colared per- ‘sons in the hall—not more, perhaps, than a dozen. Judge Kelly introduced Mr. Curtis ag follows: Ladies and Gentlemen—it ig my pose, to_latroduce to you my friend, George W. Curtis, of New York, who is © to night, in pursuauce of an engagement made more than three months ago, to present to you his viewa— the views of @ polished gentleman, a cultivated scholar, and deep thinker an‘ lover of his country and his kind— upon the present aspect of the groat queation of the day, the question of slavery. Mr. Curtis, in treating his subject, divided the people of tt ies—the one based upom a the country into two great system of slavery, the other upon an idea, a principh y the recognition of human-rights, Our revolution was uot @ struggle of class against class, but it was a revolution of right against wrong. He sketched the history of this country in connection with the slavery qestira. | Snot has been the intluence exerted by the men of tue South, that, at last, a wational man has come to signify a man truly and entirely devoted to the intereats of the South. At this point ® stone came crashing through one of the side widows No one was injured, and, although there was come little excitement, it soon sabsided, ‘The speaker continued, and declared that the real ques- tion now toe considered was, shall the constitution un- | dor which we live be always Coustrued to moan liborty, or shail it bo construed to mean slavery? The compromises | had been made'under the mistaken couviction that they } would: finally) settle: the question. But slavery was tn- herently wrong, and.could not be: settled, ‘The great public opinion of the free States remained un. Changed alter these compromises. Out of the compro- mises of 1860-ardso the great autt slavery party. woese great principle is the equality of bumaa rights; Youseo, itis @ movement of ideas; it declares that slavery is Wrong; it excludes slavery from a territory, not it ig. not worth Baving there, but because tt is unjust They declare that slavery is’ morally and economically wrong. Upto this time there had been but two or three intor- Tupbons caused by hisses. The police at dret could not dircover who the parties were, but eepying one luckless individual, he was carried vut, after making a desperate resistance. ‘The second time the polfce attempted the same thing, there was an tatense excitoment. Those wuo differed from. Mr. Curtis seemed to occupy the centro of the hall, in considerable numbers, and thoy kept up mo hissing ,which was'asquickly drownod by the applause trom the reat et the audience. 4 When quict was restored, Mr. Curtis continued, by say- k— ‘The Supremé Court hissed at the sentiment of tho free States, when they fala thé negro had no rights, aad then they faid, now wo have decived. the question, what will you do? What will we do? We ure goiug to do wiat Patrick Henry did in Virginia, what kc mon have doue: We are going to agitate, agitate, agitate!
