Claiming to ho the friends of fdberty and Re publican principles iu any quarter of the world we, as citizens of tho United States, cannot re main unmoved and indifferent iuview of the des perate and unequal struggle for independence by the ticw Cotnmooweajtu of Texas, against the powers of the Mexican Government;—Aud Whereas, the Mexican nation (»be prcscut coni- maiuler of her forces iu Texas bearing p couspic- tious part,) in the year 1824, did establish a Re publican. Representative form of Government guaranteeing to each State, among which TeXfcs was one. the privilege of a separate government, which, iu the year 1827, was ratified aud publish ed iu the form of the Constitution of Coahuiia nod Texas;—and whereas, the Mexican Con gress as well as the Texian Government, under their respective Constitutions, did pass various colonization law s for the settlement of the coun try, by which Furciguers were hivited to settle iu Texas, with promises of the,most liberal dona tions of land, aud uuder a Republican Govern ment, expressly pledging protectiou for persons and property ;—and whereas, by the revolutions of the last twelve or eighteen months in the Sou thern Mexican States, iu which Texas bore no part, the Kepubliciiu Govcrumeut of .Mexico was; •overthrown, aud Santa Anna, as Dictator, plac ed at the lie ad of the prescut Central Ecclesiasti cal Government—Be it therefore Resolved 1st, As the opinion of this mcetiug, that, independent of thcjusiificatiou fouiid iu the great aud broad principles of liberty aud the rights of man, lor which 'Texas is cohieudiug, she must be justified before (he world, and. chum the sym pathies of every honest patriot aud republican, because she is lighting for her own constitution aud her laws.

That the horrid butche ries perpetrated by baula Anna in his preseut ex- terminating war against Texas, by shooting iu cold blood,' those who, at bis own suggestion hud surrendered as prisoners of war -only, ate violative of everyclvilizcd code of uutioual law, and just ly degrades him in the eyes oi a clirisiiau and ci vilized vroild, to the level of a savage, aud that therefore, in the opinion of this moctiug, our Go vernment would be justified, aud oughtforthwitb, to dismiss their representative now iu ibis touu- try, uud uo longer hold diplomatic intercourse with a people who cuu tolerate such shocking vandalism.

The meeting was organjscd by the call of Mr. Levi Eckley to. the Chair, and tbc npt>ointmeul of Mr. Win.-G. Brown Secretary.

The fpllowii-g has reached us, hut so frequent ly have we been deceived by flying reports, and alarming rumors, that we arc bmlnd to deny our credence to the statement, until wo receive a more regularly authenticated account of it, which we expect will arrive jo-day by the Pennsylvania. We also learn that 73 Onarnicd emigrnpts that left, this city in the WilLj. pi ;ui.i Francis, forCo- pano, and were lauded at that port, trusting tbemselvexunarmed, iu the power pf the Mexi cans, were, iu two hours, butchered by the sol diery, in right of the vessel; the schooner escap ed to Matagorda.
