by changing the mode Of choosing Electors IN
that State from the District To the General Ticket

running for the Chair oil the Vice President; nor
do we At all regret to understand that Newly ork
means 10 have her hole weight felt in the ap-
nroacbinp Presidential contest. On the con-
trary, i, is right and natural aud prudent that
she should not friiter away her Just power, by
the divisions consequent upon the district plan
Of choosing Electors. Blu, that New-York
will lend herself TO the unchasfened ambition al
Mr.. Van Buren,, or any other man-that she
will sacrifice TO The Moioch OF ,hr South all
those great and essential interests which have
oui. kened the enterprise, stimulated the in

We, to learn. New-York cannot adopt the prin-

we can hardly suppose him entirely anacquaia-
ted with history. If he is so, however, we re-
commend him TO his usual means of scraping
information-an lndex-and this may, perhaps,
refer him to an example III the history OF Great
Britain, furnished by statesman whom, with
due Difference, we think not inferior TO M.
Benton himself. A foreign ambassador began
commune ating on some subject touching the
relations between his own country and England,
with Mr.. Fox, then the leader of he Opposi-
lion party That virluous patriot Immediately
stopped him. "Tell this" said he. "to Mr..

Sin: have received your letter OF the So in
slant with the accompanying papers, the object
of whic h is to obtain from NV government in
identification for American cilizeus who have
be en- robbed on the Mexican territory while car
rying on lawful commerce Although in my
opinion, no government i, bound in Justice TO
make suct indemnifcation, even though the
robbery should be committed by its own ci,i-
zens, the example which you cite me, Of what
the government, of the Uhhed Sts:es have done
for Mexican citizt MS, will be reason that the
government OF Mexico, in spirit of just reci-
procity, should do rhe same with American ci-
tizens, who may find themselves under the like
circumstances.
In order that my government may decide &C
cording to YOUR request, il is desirable that you
should have the goodness 10 inform me wheth-
er TIES i4drmnil:es 10 Mexican citizens which
you cite 10 me, were authorized by act OF Con-
gress This circumstance is very material, be-
cause the amount which nv government nigh!
apply 10 this object; might be such that II
would not come within the powers OF the Presi-
den, TO settle it, considering the large number
% Americans who go into New Mexico and o.
Their interior states
1would likewise desire to know the number
of ndemni,ies made by the American Govern
mept to Mexico an citizens, and the amount PAID
to Don Simon de Escudero.
Your candor, Sir, viii acknowledge that in
order TO establish true reciprocity il is neces-
sary that the number Of the merchants engag-
ed in this traffic, or the capitals employed in it,
should approximate; all which should form ma
ierials for convention between the Two govern
ments.
