FROM MEXICO.

General Waddy Thompson, late Minister
of the United States 10 Mexico, arrived at
New Orleans on the 18th instant, in the Unit
ed States brig cambridge, Commander
Maunison, which sailed from Vera Cruz
(Mexico) on the lst inst.
Gen. Thompson, previous 10 his depart
ure, visited Santa Anna at his country seat,
and obtained,by his earnest solicitations in
their behalf, the liberation of the remainder
of the Texan prisoners taken in September,
1912, at SanAntonio de Bexar. The Bull
letin says:
"General Thompson speaks very highly
of the handsome conduct of the Mexican
Chief in granting him this request, which
was not official, Gen. T. having resigned his
place as Minister and already taken leave of
the Government. This was not the first re-.
quest of the kind which Gen. T.. had occa-
sion to prefer. He had already been instru-
mental in procuring the liberation of a num-
Der of prisoners who were taken at San An
tonic, as we'll as o fseveral of those who were
captured at Mier.
"The number of prisoners whom our late
Minister had the pleasure on his departure
to procure the Liberation of, is thirty-fve; Of
these 81 came on in the cambridge, the re-
mainder preferring TO continue for The pre-
sent in Mexico. Phese prisoners had been
confined about eighteen months, mostly at
the castle of Perote. They express their
gratitude and estimation of Gen. L. in the
strongest terms. The Texan prisoners still
remaining in Mexico are the survivors ofthe
unfortunate Mier capitulation, about one hun
dred in number.

II is a curious coincidence that the first
speech made in favor of this British Bill,
was made by a member who was but a few
years ago a British subject, and who is SO still
according to the laws of his own country,
though we recognize no such.law!
The following is a classification ofthe vote
upon taking up the bill:

DEATH OF JUDGE BALDWIN.

Judge HExRv BALDWIN died in Philadel-
phia OBJ the night of the 21st., of paralysis,
in the 65th year of his age. Gen. jackson
appointed him Judge of the Supreme Court
some fifteen years since. We belive he re-
sided at Pittsburgh; though a large portion
of his fine was spent ia Philadelphia.

him.
AS Mr.. White sat down, Mr.. Rathbum
turned and gave him his hand, and they shook
hands as friends This produced a loud clap
ping in the galleries, which were densely fill
ed, and marks of appreciation on the part of
the House.
1t was then proposed, by Mr.. Dromgoole,
that as the gentleman had apologized to the
House, and made friends, and as this affair
had been caused by momentary excitement
and heat, that the resolution which had been
offered should be Withdrawn, and the subject
no farther prosecuted. This was opposed,
and a desultory debate followed, which con-
tinued for more than an hour, during which
various propositions and resolution first offer

1t is due 90 Mr.. Moore to say that Mr.,
Davis stated in the House, that he wassa
very inofensive and worthy man, and of a
very highly respectable family. He was.
moreover, a cripple. His freing the pistol
was a hasty, t~houghtless, but most unjustif-

The Washington Correspondent of the
Baltimore Patriot says:-"The daily evil
dences which the Locofocos have ofthe des-
perate and hopeless condition of their cause,
begin TO make many of them think seriously
of casting aside Van Buren,, ond looking out
another candidate. They are not aware, it
seems, that the .odious character of their
principles has had more to do with their re-
verses than Mr.. Van Buren's want of popu-
Iarity. 1t is said that Mr.. Butler (late At
torney General) and Mr.. Benton are on a Wis

their mission is to counsel with the veteran
of the Hermitage upon the difficulties that
surround their party. 1t is also said that it is
in contemplation to get Gen. Jackson him.
self to become a candidate again, and that
the Locofocos themselves believe that he is
the only man who can save them from de-
feat. Whether all this is true or not, one
thing is certain, and that IS, that the leaders
of the Locofoco party are loosing all conf
dence in their W success. 1t is equally
certain that they cannot improve their pros
poets by dropping Van Buren, and taking VI
any one else. He is as popular Throughout
the Union generally as any candidate they
can procure in their own ranks. There are
other men more popular perhaps in particu
) lar States, but not generally. And beside
land which is greater difficulty than an,
other-if Van Buren, is dropped now, it vii
, be fatal to any candidate they can nominate
no matter how popular he may be. Such
d course would prove thatthey considered thei
cause weak, and would defeat even Gen
Jackson himself. So that there is no he'll
for Locofocoism in the present campaign
G All the wisdom and political sagacity in tn
world cannot get them out of their dificu
ties. They are sure to enjoy the advan

TIuzza the morn in glory breaks,
And freedom from her slumber wakes,
And peals her trumpet to the skies:
While loud a nations voice replies,
Huzza TO the suspicious day,
When brightly rose the star Of Clay,
And high above the stormy blast
The bow of hope and promise cast,
And broke by freedoms temple-fane
The remnant of Oppression's chain!
Chorus.
Firm. beneath it's steady light,
Let. us dare the low'ring night
Soon shall beam a brighter day,
Meath the star of Henry Clay!
From mountain high. and lowly vale,
That trumpet swells upon the gale.
And millions from their labor spring
To bid the thund'ring echo ring,
And slowly break the clouds away.
While yonder CLEANS the star of Clay
Our victor, who in might arose,
And, DER the heads OF freedoms foes;
The Constitutions banner flung.
And freedoms fearless challenge rung.
CHORUS.
Firm beneath, &c.
The farmer rests upon his plough.
The artizan with sweaty brow
Besides his ring ing anvil kneels;
And while the deaf'ning echo peals,
He breaths a prayer and halls the day
When brightly rose the star Of Clay!
Beneath whose mild, PROTECTIVE light,
The harvest fields again are bright
While Commences wings spread o'ershe sea,
Bear on the tropic of the free:
CHORUS.
Firm benath, &c.
And not alone by freedoms fame,
Is heared that stirring trumpet strain.
But, far. amid the G-ecian Isles,
And where Bolivia's summer smiles,
What grateful millions hail the day
When brightly rose the star OF Clay!
Ard DER the ~tyrant's bloody throne
With kindling light and glory shone,
And left a bow OF promise there,
For those who sill the letters wear.
CHORUS.
Firm, beneath, &c.
Then let US shout with festal cheer,
And hail the name to freedom dear,
And, while our echo shakes the sky.
Let every freeman's heart reply,
Huzza. to the suspicious day
Which drove the stormy clouds away,
And beaming o'er corruption's night
Restored the balances of right
Where soon, his hand our foes shall weigh
And turn their idols all 10 Clay.
CHORUS.
Firm. beneath its steady light,
Let US dare the low'ring-n night.
Soon shall beam a brighter day
meath the Star Of HENRY CLAY.
