OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.


OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
We learn from Washington that the dpspetch-
es of Mr. Ellis had been received by the hands of
apecial messenger McRae, and that instructions
we're Immediately made out to be transmitted to
Mr.. Thompson, the successor of Mr. Eis, to
demand peremptorily the immediate release Of
all American citizens, now in captivity in Mexi.
CO, and the payment Of the awards made for
Mexican spoilatons, by the late mixed Commits
sioners; and in the event of the refusal of the
Mexican Goyernm ent to accede TO these Just
demands our Minister is directed 10 demand his
passports and leave the country, We also have
it in our power TO state that an adequate force
has been ordered TO rendezvous with the least
possible delay, off the SACRIFICES.
There is much excitement here on the subject
Of The invasion Of Texas, says The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier a
disposition exists to connect It with the abolition
question. The abolitonists are already on the
gu, oire, and say they will watch the Admmistra-
ton closely, to see that they connive at no ex
petitions set on foot in the United States for the
purpose of aiding Texas, or conquering Mexico
and spreading the empire OF slavery. They have
alrendy accused President Tyler of an intrigue'
The object Of which, they say is to bring Texas
into &c Union, by the exercise Of the treaty ma
king power is acknowledged that there is an
extreme probability Of war soon arising be-
tween this country md Mexico. There are now
causes enough ofcollision; buta the sympathies
Of our citizens will naturally and properly induce
them to lend their aid to their Texan frenIs; g.
as the Mexican army, and its Indian allies, vii
be very apt to infringe, IN some mode or other,
upon our territory or property, in the progress Of
the war, it will become difficult for us 10 keep

seize upon Cuba, and perhaps be come on ally of
Mexico against the u. $. We shall lave stirring

Or The probability Of hostiIit'es with Mex
leo is Strengthening with the events OF every day
The provocations are too great for the meekness
of our Government 10 bear. Two grounds of
complaint exist, either Of which is sufficient to
Justify resort to hos,itles. The treatment Of
the American Consul at Santa Fe was atrocious
beyond example. Hitherto the character Of the
Consul among all civilized nations is held sacred.
4 violation of his PERSONS considered an unpar-
donab!e insult to the Government he represents,
& a barbarous outrage upon the laws OF nations.
To allow an offence of the kind to pass off with
impunity is degrading in the extreme, and a
Cow eminent in doing 80 shows the loss of self
respect. Such will be the estimate formed of
the conduc, Of the United States, unless n signal
retribution is made to follow the transgrosion
But this is not the only insult that Mexico has
otfcted that calls for reparatioR aud alonement.
A fter entering into solemn treaty for the adj
iustment of the claims OF Americans, to be set
tied and ascprtaned nv board ofCommisson-
ers, she has 'perfdiously refused to ratify the
decisions of the board, and thus trampes upon
the treaty and sets the United States NJ defonre
Could any insult be more gross, or provocation
greater?
Our Government without deep humiliation
cannot submit 10 so base and insolent breach
offath. Under the crcumstauoe'. theref're. .

THE SPIRIT OF BEAUTY.

The spirit of beauty unfurs her light.
And wheels her course in joyous fight;
| know her track through the balmy air,
BY the blossoms that cluster and whitep there
She leaves the tops Of the mountsns green,
And gems the valley with the crystal sheen.
At morn know where she rested night,
For the roses are Gushing with dewy delight:
Then she mounts again, and around her filings
shower Of light from her purple wings,
Fill the spirit is drunk with the music on high
That silently fills it with ecstacy
At noon she HES to a cool retreat,
Where towering elms waters meet;
She dimples the wave where the green leaves dip
And smiles as i: cufls like maiden's lip,
When the tremulous bosom would hide in vain,
From her lover, the hope that she loves again.
At eve she hangs DER the western sky,
Dark clouds for glorious canopy;
And round the skirts of each sweeping fold,
She paints border Of crimson and gold,
Where the lingering sunbeams love to stay,
When the god in his glory has passed away.
She hovers around us at twilight hour,
When her presence is felt with the deepest power,
She mellows the landscape, and crowns the stream
With shades that Sit like fairy dream;
Still wheellngsher flight through the gladstone air,
The Spirit Of Beauty is every where! d.

Colonel Johnson has resided so long al
Washington, and held Offices which gave
him species of consequences while hold
ing them, that he has determined, as we
hear, to winter at his old quarters, and
trust to his peculiar position towards the
nomination, to insure him as much re-
spect as did his real station.

Mr.. Calhoun belongs TO Washington,

he may Justly claim the Presidential
chair. They have decided to try for it.
though they may prove obedient and
trucking TO the influences of MIR. Van

Mr.. Van Buren,, as we mentioned las,

The State OF New York as a call 10 come
again before The peupls. AS we remark
ed few days since, his friends declare
that they will have strength enough in

Mr.. Cass will be in the country early
in December, and will bring with him an
ardent desire for political distinction, and
ireedness from party contact. He was
considered as of the Van Buren, parry
