public Rued is engrossed at present with the
pr tal t.leM% 'which takes place o n the Ist of
Zielt
Septem 'r. The candidates are Don Vicente Guer-
rero, to whom they give the title of Sr The Heto of the
South," and Don Gone, Pedraza, the present Minister
of War, nicknamed " The Second Emperor of Mexico."
Goerrero's party is said to be composed of the most
violent spirits; they had no idea of any thing like an,
opposition in the outset, and spoke of his election with
the greatest confidence ; but latterly they have come
cut much alarmed, their case being almost desperate,
and have come out viltls the most violent accusations
you can think of. The sparring between the Jack.
simians and Adams-men is a fool to it, though we, who
are abroad and cool, look upon that as scanolakus.
I have made particular inquiry respecting the merits
and demerits of the two candidates, and have formed
iha aftered my opinion of them almost as often as I
have consulted different persons on the subject. From
what I can hear from those who belong to neither party,
General Guerrero, the Yorkino canhdate, is a patriot
whp declared himself in favour of independence in i.s
infancy, and who stood in its defence during all its re-
verses. He is " a generouS good-hearted chieftain,"
as the word goes with. you, `" well disposed towards
strangers of all nations." So far so good. On the other
band, he is good at cock-fighing, and the gaming table,
and if an intrigue is carried, on by one with a pretty
woman, he is very lenient towards them ; with these
fl rws in his character, he has no knowledge r f diplo-
macy, and not one requisite talent for a President.
Pedraza, the Escoscs candidate, is a man totally
different from his competitor. He was in office under
the Spanish Government, and continueJ so cloth)); the
revolution, until the declaration of independence. He
is a man of talent and firmness, not to be shaken by
pretty women or doubloons; a law once passed is sure
ti be enforced by him. He is not friendly to strangers,
but disposed to suffer t',eir residence, knowing that
they improve the country. A man of his firm charac-
ter is calculated to make himself dreaded by that class
of people who form the mass of Guerrero's party. This
class, who are averse to order naturally, and now foiled
in their hope of getting one from their own ranks into
the Presidential chair, are brought to a state of despera.
tion, and have given cause f r apprehension, that if
Pedraza is elected they will strain every nerve for a
revolution. Indeed, they have asserted as much as this
in the public prints, by Laying—" Awake, Mexicans !
it Pedrosa is President, you have either to wear a most
servile yoke, or raise another revolution I" This is the
present state of the public mind. Next Monday will
decide the important question of Quien sera Presidente,
Guerrero or Pedrosa?
SEPT. 6.—Having an opportunity to forward this by
tl e way of New Orleans,- I will not wait to hear of the
result of the election. We have not yet heard from the
'interior States. Thus far Pedraza has five States to
Guerrero's one. Guerrero% party ray that the Vera
Crusanos have protested against the election of Pedraza,
etat;ng that there was foul play in taking the votes.—
General Santa Anna is said to be at the head of the
protesting party, and quien sabe what will be the con-
sequences?
It is now seven o'clock r N. and there ate returns
from ten States, seven for Pedroaa, and three for Guer-
rero, and in one of the latter the majority was but one
vote. In the conte t which is going forward our Minis-
ter, Mr. P. has been somewhat accus7d. The following
is an extract from the Sol of this evening r—" There is
n .t wanting a suspicion, with foundation, that the Ame-
rican Nlinister is the secret agent of Spain, instructed
and well paid for dividing and destroying us; and that
he is taking measures for a re-conquest of the country.
Nor is this strange, for he knows that our prosperity is
as prejudicial to the interest of his nation, as our inde-
pendence is to the interest of Spain."
Yorkinos and Escoses are the names of two Masonic
sects in Mexico.
