tine disputes, and has recently been dis
mcmberel by the cor nivancc and direct |
assistance of neighborng people. Sue
cessive violent factions have had nominal
possession of tho administration Of her
government and the revenue. which should
have been applied to the support Of The
national credit, has been prosli'uted TO the
purposes Of faction. Civil war has dis
tractcd her, aud in the confusion not only
has violence been done to citizens of other
nations, but the protection of foreign resi-.
dents has been almost en- rely neglected.
Mexico has, in consequences Of these un.
fortunate circumstances. and of the i'll con.
due, of officials who have struggled them
selves into power, been long cmbroiled
with this country. To tho sufficiently per
picked foreign relations of our sister re-
public squabbc with France is now
added The causes of complaint which
gave rise to it, have, as we have noticed,
grown more out Of circumstances than on,
Of in'cn,ion--yet must Mexico pay the pi-
per. The case is hard one--but where a
greater and less Power contend, it is easy
TO guess on which side Of the question the
issue will place the justice of the quarrel.
SILK "A silk company, with large
capital has been formed IN Gcncsc County,
N. Y, and they have recently made pur.
chase o. $40, 900 worth Of trees. Several
largo establishments are going into opera
ton the present season in N. Jersey, and
we observe that there is quite movement
on the subject in the District of Columbia.
The stock Of trees and Eggs is already
exhausted in some Of the eastern Cities
Tho laws recently passed in some of the
states granting large bounties to encour-
age The silk culture, and the proposed en-
actment of similar laws now before Con
gress mast impart a great impetus to the
silk business.
The first Of June will be abou, the right
season for sowing seed, and we must again
jog the recollection Of our readers on the
subject. Mr. Goodrich has few ounces
Of seed, which is believed to be good.
WINoosKf AvENUE.--The work Of i'm
provcmen, is progressing. Gen. Arthur

both sides of the road, the whole extent Of
his premises, and we were pleased to
observe our friend Russell with q load the
other day. It now remains for Messrs.
Pomcroy, Howard and lIaswell. to COM
pete the work. What say e. gentlemen !?

MISSISSIPPI SAFE.-rhe following are
the good humorcd remarks Of the Fec

REM organ at Na'chcZ, Mississipp,;
THE ELECTION The returns received
since our last publication place our defeat
almost beyond the possibility Of doubt.
. So confident, indeed, was Mr.. PnENrlss Of
> his success, that he declared in Holly
Springs, in Marshall county, on The day
after tho election that the only lhing which
' prevented him from setting out immediate.
, ~ for Washington city was the want Of a
clean shirt Tho vote Of tho river coun.
ties at this election exceeds that of any
previous one, whilst that of the interior
has been greatly rcducal. 1t is not our
intention to hunt up causes to which we
my attribute our San Jacinto defeat; a
, six hours sermon would not console US for
this dire calamity" &c.
/ INDIAN TERRiroRy. We like the plan
proposed in bill which has recently passed
f the Senate Of the Un,icd States. 1t give:
an end and finish to the policy Of our

seems only temporary expedient, 20 get
rid Of them for the moment, wherever
