greatest confidence, but lattrrly they ha, g
become much alarmed, and have come out
with the most violent accusations you can
think of. The sparring between the JacksU-
mans and Adams men is fool to it, though
we, who are abroad, and cool, look upon that
as scandalOus.
have made particular inquiry respecting
the merits and dement's Of the two candidates,
and have formed and altered my opinions of
them almost as often as have consulted diff
ferent persons upon the subject. From what
can hear from those who belong to neither
party, Gen. Guerrero, the YOrkinO candidate,
is patriot " no declared himself in favor of
independence in its infancy, and who stood in
its defence during all its reverses. He is "a
generous. good hearted cheftain, "as the word
goes with you, "well disposed towards stran-
gers of all nations" So far SO good. On the
other hand ne is fond of cock fighting and the
gaming table, and if an intrigue is carried on
by one with pretty wOman,he is very lenient
tow ards them with these flaws ia his char
acter, he has no knowledge Of diplO macy land
not one requisite talent for President.
PedraZa, the EscOses candidate, is man
totally different from his competitor He was
in office under the Spanish Government, and
continued SO during the revolution, and until
the declaration of Independence. He is
man of talent and firmness, not to be shaken
by pretty woman or dOubloons a law once
passed is sure to be enforced by him. He is
not friendly to strangers, but disposed to suf
fer their residence, knowing that they i'm
prove the country. A man of his firm char
acter IS calculated to make himself dreaded
by that class Of people who form the mass of
Guerrero's party. This class, who are ayerse
to order naturally, and now foiled in their
hope ofgetting one from their own ranks into
the Presidential Chair, are brought to a state
of desperation, and have given Cause for APP
prehension that if Prdraza is elected, they will
strain every nerve for revolution. JUDGED,
they have asserted as much as this in the
public prints, by saying, awake, Mexicans
if Pedraza is President, you have either to
wear most servile yoke.or raise another re-
volution!" This is the present state of the
public mind. Mex, Monday will decide the
important question Of 'Quien sera Presidente,'
Guerrero, or Prdraza?
Sept. 6.-Having an opportunity to for
ward this. by the way of New Orleans, | 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's party say that
the Vera CrIzanos have protested against the
election of Pedraza, stating that there was
foul play in taking the votes. General Santa
Ana is said to be at the head of the protesting
party, and qWiew sobe-what will be the CON
sequence
1t is now 7 o'clock P. M. and there are re
turns from ten states. seven for Pedraza, and
three for Guerrero, and in one of the latter
states the majority was but one vote. In the
contest which is going for ward. our minister.
Mr.. P. has been somew hat accused. The
following is an extrect from the Sol of this
is not wanting suspicion,
with foundation, that the American minister
is the secret agent of Spain, instructed and
well paid for dividing and destroying US, and
that he is taking measures for re-conquest
of the country. Nor is this strange, for he
the interests of his nationals our independence
is to the interests of SPAIN"
% Yorkinos and Escoses are the names of
two masonic sects in Mexico.
POSTSCRIPT.-Our fears are too soon
reaIized!, AsCIVIL WAR has broken out

ssue of the election. Pedraza is chosen Pres

raised rebellion against the gov

Cruz have taken up arms. A body of troops

Santa Anna to Perose. On the day when
the independence sailed, advices were recei-

worth of Mexican patriotism!
