| The NEXT PREsIDENT.-We e are right
glad to notice that the Boston Atlas has
thought proper to drop all further dis
cussion about farorite candidates for the
Presidency. 1t has been for some time
past, strongly urging the claims of Gen.
HARRISON, as the most available candi-
date-but has now happily come to the
conclusion to end the discussion, and
wait the decision Of National Con-
vention. The Atlas proposes to their
Wing friends, every where, to follow
their good example.-We entertain
hope that they will one and all most cheer
fully do SO. The following is an extract
from the article in the Atlas, OH the sub
ject alluded to.
Nothing has given the enemy any
hope of success in the approaching Pre-
sidential election but the divisions in
our ranks, which unhappily appear to
be growing wider every day. 1t is
time, therefore, that they should be
healed. 1t is time that all alteration
about favorito candidates should be stop
ped. The Philistines are upon us, and
we have not man to spare. Let us
not deceive ourselves as to our suppos-
ed great strength throughout the Union.
Let us not deceive ourselves with the
delusive idea that we are about to enter
OH light struggle, which cannot fail
to result in an easy victory. IT is NO
SUCH THING. The numerical force Of
the enemy is nearly, if not quite, equal
to our own, and nothing can save the
Wing party from being in a minority in
the next Congress, and from a most
disastrous overthrow in the coming Pre-
sidental contest, but to bend their spir-
its to their full height, and stand shoul-
der to shoulder against the myrmidons
Of this wicked and corrupt administra-
ton.
With that high and holy purpose, and
with that patriotic object in view, we
propose to our Wing friends every
where, to end the discussion which is
going on as to the comparative merits
or popularity of Daniel Webster, Hen
ry Clay, and General Harrison. Dis
cussion leads almost necessarily to re-
tort and invective, and thus the wretch
ed spectacle is presented, of a great
party suffering itself to be agtated and
torn by intestine stri.es, instead Of di-
recting its undivided and unbroken
strength against the common enemy
So soon as the foe perceives that zoe are
united not 10 be again divided, his hands
will be palsied, and we can 60 forth
conquering and to conquer. The cause
in which we are contending is not the
cause of Mr.. Clay or Gen. Harrison, or
Mr.. Webster. IT is THE CAUSE OF THE
PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY. Let us
postpone the discussion, await the de-
cision Of the National Convention, and
sustain the nomination when made with
whatever Of zeal or ability we can bring
to its aid. The position Of Gen. Har-
rison, if he be the strong man, will be
strengthened by this course, and SO will
that of Mr.. Clay or Mr.. Webster, should
the nomination be awarded to either of
these great statesmen. LET US BE
WISE, ERE 1T Is TOO LATE !"

FRANCE AND MEXICO.

A French gentleman, formerly resident
of Mexico, who arrived at New York on Sun
dsy from Havana, brings information that
when he left Vera Cruz, on the 9th of Jsnua-
ry, intelligence had been received from the
capital, under date of the 5th, that the British
charge d'affaires was endeavoring to effect o
settlement of the controversy between the
French and Mexicans, and with prospects of
success. And the National Intelligcncer Of
Saturday contains the following.
IMPORTANT AND AcCEpTABLE News.
Commodore Bechamel, of the French armed
steamer Veloce, arrived in this city on
Thursday evening from Baltimore aceompa-
MED by Captain DE Challie, his first officer
We are happy to learn from gentleman
who accompanied the French officers from
Baltimore, that hostiities have terminated
between France and Mexico. Through the
intervention and mediation of Admiral Doug
lass, commanding the British fleet on the
Mexican coast, terms Of accommodation have
been mutually agreed by the belligerents
and hosiilities had ceased. The particulars
will doubtless reach US before long.
Doubt is thrown upon this statement, how
ever, (says the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
by the silence Of our advices by way OF New
Orleans, which are to the 9th from Mexico
and the 18th from Vera Cruz.
1t is reported also that one sixth of the
revenue from Customs has been pledged BY
the Mexican government, to pay the interes
on the debt to British subjects.
The inhabitants are said to have abandon
ed the city of Vera Cruz, by order of Santa
Anna, who had threatened to destroy thu
walls. We should suppose this doubtful, no
being able to imagine why such orders wer'

to the immediate motive which bro't her,
young, beautiful, and alone, to this country.
She makes no secret of this, and the account
she gives is corroborated from the highest
sources. An enthusiast, and connecting from
the earliest moment the love OF liberty with
her own cherished name, she had the mis-
fortune to give offence to the sovereign au-
thority Of her native country. Neither her
sex, nor her youth, could prevail to except
her from the austere Judgments which, nt
that time, fell upon political offenders, and
she was banisl,ed. Turned upon the wide
world alone, and with the most limited means,
barely sufficient for her honest wants, this
rigor, instead Of prostrating her, reused en-
ergics within her she he'd been unconscious
of. She went into world, then strange to

NOVEL READINa.-From DR.. Humphreys
" Thoughts on Education" in the New York
Observer.
Absolutely to prescribe all fiction, would,
perhaps, be going too far. think l could
select dozen volumes, besides Robinson
Crusoe, which should be willing to have my
children read in their minority. But nothing
is more to be deprecated, in a family than
morbid appetite for novels and all expert
ence proves, how difficult it is, to keep it
from becoming absolutely rapenous, if it is
INDUCED at all. Reading one work of fiction.
is almost certain 10 create in the young and
susceptible mind, more eager demand for
another; and the demand rises at every step
of the progress till 1t is prepared to break
over all bounds, and to devour whatever
comes in its way, il may inname the passions,
polute the imagination, or corrupt the heart
One grand objection against putting popular
works of fiction into the hands of our youth
of both sexes is, that the world Of romance
differs so entirely from the rough, stormy and
matter-of-tact world in which they arc to live
and be happy, if they can; and certainly to
suffer, whatever pains tn y may take to shun
it. Suppose your blooming daughter, of fif-
teen could be transported into some paradise
Of perpetual spring and spicy breezes-of
odoriicrous flowers, and feathered harmony,
and gushing marble fountains, and banyan
shades, and everlasting sunshine-what kind
of preparation would she be making in such
bowers of unmingled delights, for returning,
at the end of FIVE or ten years, to spend her
life in this cold region where she was born,
upon which the curse Of God has so heavily
fallen? But far worse than this must it be
for her to dwell the same number of years il
the fairy lands Of romance, and then come
down to the dull, husky prose and discordant
eemcnts-the thousand inconvenienccs and
cares and tolls and disappontments Of real
life. When the novelist can plant and water
and illuminate some terrestrial paradise; and
shout out sorrow and pain and sin; and give
our children life-lease oft, it will be time
enough to introduce them to his acquaintance;
but till then, the less they have to do with
this class of writer's the better.
