The United States Philadelphia Gazette rather
sneeringy announces that the brig John Tyler had
arrived al Boston, with and other fruits for
Thanksgiving"
In lS44 he will be able to make announcement,
which hope will not be offensive to the taste Of
our brother and that is:
The administration of John Tyler has closed
with halo Of glory. His patriotic services have
brought rich fruits to the country, in the Republican
spirit with which he has conducted the Government
and in the happy settlement Of the vexed currency
question: by the establishment Of institution which
has forever removed the subject from the politics of the
nation and we now recommend tLat a day be set
apart for offering to the Most High our Handspring
for so suspicious a result"

Exam ths AZ O. Brllefin,

Among the items Of news lately received, not the
least gratifying, ifDot the least important y that which
relates 70 the Santa Fe expedition from Texas A
good deal Of anxiety has been felt respecting the ate
Of that enterprise Statements had been made deny
ing the expedition strong enough 10 carry into Of
feet the object Of the mission and also calling in ques
ton the willingness Of the mounaineers OF the Coz
leras 10 annex themselves members of the Tex
ian republic. In confirmation Of these assertions q
rumor circulated not long since, and gained ex-
tensve credence, Of the mpoEfzhat the Santa Fe ca
ravan had been arrested in ID 6rch BY formidable
body Of Indians, and after engaging in severe con-
hct which lasted several days. were al length forced
10 turn back and return home. In consequence the
apprehension became general lest the scheme Of &C.
curing the remote provinces lying east OF the Rio del
Nore had proved failure. We are glad, however,
to learn that the unavorabe predictions and reports
above referred 10 proved TO be uniouuded Ac-
counts are received from Santa Fe by the way Of
Monterey, which state, that the Texan commission
ers were received with open arms, and the cardinal
objects of the enterprise were in fair way OF being &C.
complished. The country remained In quiet, settled
state, and no hostility had been shown toward the
armed force that had TO assert the right Of Texas
to the territory Of the Del Norte.
From these facts, the most fattering auguries may
be drawn. The inhabitants of Santa Fe and adjacent
districts BY the remoeness OF their situation and
the and inaccessible nature OF their coun-
try placed Of the reach Of the Mexican govern
ment They have nothiug to gain by adhering to that
government, for its ability TO extend to u protection,
has long since ceased and the uaffic with Southern
Mexico, by reason Of distance is too uncomfortable 10
be source Of profit There is nothing therefore, but
similarity Of origin and language, to bind them to their
allegiance, and the influence from this cause, is more
than counterbalsnced by the proximity of Texas, by
the facilities which nnexation TO the republic
would furnish in the way Of commerce, well as the
strong prediction which the population entertain in
favor Of the Federal cast Of politics From what has
anspired, there be but little doubt that Santa
re now constitutes an integral part of the Texan
republic.

The PRINcE DE JoSvLLE arrived at St. Louis,
(Mo on Friday the 9Th instant, and departed thence
the 7th for Louisville and Ptsburg on his return
to the East. The Republican says:
" He was forced to abandon his purpose of visiting
Prairie du Chen and the ST. Peters and his stay in
ST. Louis was shortened, by the delays experienced
in crossing from Green Bay to Galena. During his
short sojouln here he waited upon by many of
our citizens, especially the French. He expresses
himself greatly delighted with the country and his
trip, although in several instances he subjected to
the toughest of backwoods" fare and accommoda-
tons In his appearance, Dress and demeanor he is
quite republican, affable and polite, and s,udiously
avoids every thing like display. In fact, his great
anxiety appeared to be to pass unobscrved. When
he left yesterday large number Of persons had as-
sembled on the wharfto catch glimpse of him as he
passed from the hotel to the boat but he baed their
curiosity His suite first came down, and after time
he walked down, solitary and alone and passed
through tn crowd, no one observing or recognizing
him until he board"

gives of interesting agricultural expert
ment lately tried in town in Cheshire. On the 9th
Of May last five alternate ridges of wheat measuring
acre. two rods, and four perches, sowed with
FIVE cwt. of nitrate Of soda. In few days the differ
ence between the ridges sowed with the nitrate and
the intervening ridges OF the size, could be dis.
cerned at considerable distance from the field which
continued throughout the summer. The two sorts
have been reaped, threshed, measured and weighed
separately, and the following is a correct account Of
the produce Nitrate 48 bushels, weigh per bushel 46
pounds; straw tons, cwt. 3 qrs ssh The other
70 bushels weigh per bushel 81 lbs; straw ton 5
cwt. Or lbs The quality Of both was inferior,
but the nitrate wheat would have been better CROP if
q less quantity the nitrate had been sown.

SANTA AsNA-The curiosity Of the American peo-
ple Is alive 10 the question what will be the conduct
OF Santa Anna his accession TO the chief power
in Mexico, and what will be the result in relation 10
the fortune and liberty Of the Mexican nation
The general impression is that Santa Anna Is full
of intrigue and quite destitute Of principle. This
opinion, however, is not universal We know an
American gentleman who had occasion To have con-
siderable intercourse with him and his prominent
friends, when he before in power, and who form
ed high estimate Of his moral and intellectual cha
racteI.
He will now have an opportunity TO confirm the
good opinion Of his friends the i-opinion Of his
enemies He has recently professed himself friendly
the restoration Of the Federal Constitution Of 1924,
and by those professions he has made himself
full II he adheres 10 these professions. he will gain
new honor. II be departs fiom them ne will be
doubly stamped as a hypocre and knave.
Some suppose the Mexican people 10 be incapable
Of conducting free institutions, and that military
rule Of their country Is matter ofine.able necessity
We not prepared to recognize the soundness OF
this doctrine. A people may be incapable, from gno-
and poverty, OF coniendng successfully against
those who oppose the establishment OF their liberties
But If men who like Santa Anna, are thrown in the
situation which enables them to shape public affairs,
are disposed to discipline the people in habits of self
government, and il truly popular constitution, EN-
bracing the primary requisites Of universal suffrage
and very short terms Of Office, be established. we
know Of evidence that il may not be maintained.
We have said that some entertain favorable opia-
ion of Santa Anna. Our own impression has been
Of a contrary nature in consequence Of the cruelty
which he has exhibited before, and the seemingly era
ven spirit after, his defeat and capture BY General
Houston, in Texas. il may be said, however, in pal
liaon, that these features somewhat natura-lhat
many analogous found in the civil wars OF
Spain and South America and that the faults Of Santa
Anna may have been more the result OF the con,agion
of example and of association, than OF innate depra-
witty.
