THE IMMACULATE GLOBE.

The Globe affects to treat with levty what
have said respecting the course which it and Mr.
Benton have pursued since the Baltimore Conven-
ton. Such is not the manner in which the honest
portion of the Democratic party regard their actions
Ofths the Globe may be certain.
We have heretofore stated that the Wings have
printed and circulated hundreds Of thousands Of Mr..
Benions speech, made in Executive session. for
electioneeriug purposes. We should have said they
are printed at the Globe office, to its profit. The
Richmond Wing Of Saturday last, copied from the
Missouran, Mr.. Benton's organ, article bearing
the impress Of his pen, accompanied with laudatory
comments Is this serving the Democratic party
and their cause, writing editorial articles and
king speeches for the Wings TO make use OF against

LATER FROM MEXICO.

The United States Revenue Gutter Woodbur, b,
VIM. Foster, Esq, Commander, arrived at New Or
cans on the 2st inst. in eight days from Vera Cruz,
bringing dispatches from the United States Charge
d'Adare- a, the city of Mexico TO our Government.
The Woodbury. left Vera Cruz the 18th instant,
whittier she had been dispatched to receive the 4th
waited one month, and receiving official lnforma
on, that there prospect of its beng paid for
long time, Capt. T. deemed 1t proper and expedi-
ent TO return.
The Mei prisoners celebrated the 4th and day and
night were spent in fun and frolic-lhe garrison Off
GERS voluntarily supplying them with abundance OF
cheer for the occasion. Official reports of the shoot.
ing of 81 of the followers of Sentmanst in the square
of Tobasco, had been received at Vera Cruz. The
British and other Consuls had lnterceded for their
countrymen engaged in this affaii, but without sue
cess. The Government in refusing told them, 4" II
would have been much more friendly towards MeIi-
CO. and better for the individuals had their agents IN
New Orleans prevented their joining 10 a scheme
against the peace Of friendly power, and which was
VIGOROUSLY public"
News of the rejection of the treaty by the United
States Senate, was received at Vera Cruz, via Cam
peachy ON the 10Th instant 1t was Immediately for.
warded by express to Mexico. The news gave great
JOY at Vera Cruz, and a revival of American busi-
nees was expected from 1T.
General Santa Anna's orders for all officers on
leave to report Immediately for active duty on pain
of dismissal, had been published.
The requsition Of The President for 10000 troops
and Jour millions of dollars had been granted afte
some Iardy but warm discussion in the Congress.

DurcH BUrrER-The Dutch butter is celebrated
for its excellence. The following is said TO be the
mode in which it is prepared
After having MIXED their cows, the Dutch leave
their milk to get cold before they put it 10 the pans
When placed therein, they do not permit il to stand
for the cream TO rise more than four hours They
then stir IT together intimately TO combine the
milk and cream and continue thus to do at least two
or three times day. If It be sgtaed in this man
ner, as occasionally happens till the whole be thick
the butter thus obtained the more highly esteemed
As soon as i acquires the usual consistency, it is
churned commonly about hour till the butter be-
gins to form; cold water is then added proportioned
70 the quantity of milk, for the purpose of facilitat-
ing the separation Of the buttermk The butter be-
ing properly come IT is taken f om the churn and re
peatedy washed, and kneaded in fresh water TIL the
buttermk is all expressed, and 1t no longer retains
any thing Of white. BY this simple mode not only
far more butter is obtained from the same quantity
OF milk than in any other way; but the butter itself
is hrmer, sweeter, and continues longer fresh than
the generality of butter while the buttermik is inf
nitey more agreeable to the palate.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTloN-TExAs.

| The Wings exulting most loudly at the result
of the Louisiana election What have they gained
One member of Congress. The State Senate re-
mains Democratic by a majority of one. The Wings
claim TO have 81 members in the House out of 60,
while the Democrats yield them only %. The pro-
liability is, that neither party will know which has
the majority until the Legislature meets. Many of
the Creoes vote often side on the other,
being influenced more by local than political conside-
raons. According TO the statements made up in the
Journal Of Commerce, the popular majority is on the
side of the Democrats What have the Wings TO
crow about'
The Wing party, as well as the Democrats, who are
opposed to xation find any thing in the
suit of the election favorable 10 that cause although
Louisiana borders on Texas Now let us tell these
gentlemen that the Texas question not issue in
the election A great majority of both the Wing and
Democratic party for annexation, and all the
candidates of both parties were It's advocates. How
then could the Texas question be made an issue p
The result Of the election gives evidence of the
feelings of the voters on that question.

SAFETY IN THUNDER SToHM,-People are often
led to inquire what the best means Of safety IN
thunder storm If out of doors, we should avoid
trees and elevated objects of every kind and If the
fash is instantly followed by the report which ind-
Gates that the cloud is near, a recumbent position is
considered the safest We should AVOID rivers
ponds, and all streams of water, because water is a
Conductor, and persons on the water in boat would
be the most prominent objects, and therefore most
likely TO be struck by the lightning If we are with
in doors, the middle Of a large csrpeted room will
be tolersbly safe We should avoid the chimney
for the iron about the CRATE the SCOT that often lines
IT, and the heated and rarhed air It contains toll.
cradle conductors, and should on that account be
avoided. II is never safe to SIT by an open window
because draught of moist air is a conductor-hence
we should close the windows on such occasions In
bed we compa ratvely safe for the feathers and
blankets are bad conductors, and to a certain
extent insured in such a situation.

acquiesoe in the doings of that Convention, whatever
they might be, So also did the New York Evening
Post How have both of those papers, in their sc-
ton, accorded since with their own docrinesi They
have gone in open and direct opposition to them
Can party ever expect TO command success that
gives countenanee TO such organs
The Globe still preserves silence as to its malig-
nant and mendacious assaults on President Tyler,
made on Saturday week. IL has neither the manli-
ness the honesty to retract explain, after we
had exposed and laid them bare 10 the core.

CHANCELLOR BIBB ON ANNEXATION.


la compliance with The generally expressed wish.
of many intelligent friends throughout the State,
and ia accordance with the dictates Of our individual
Judgment, we present our readers to-day with the
opinion at length Of Chancellor Blob, Of Kentucky,
on the great question of Annexation. The Hon
George M. Bib, formerly Judge Of the highest
court of his State-alterwards distinguished Sena-
tor 10 Congress-more recently sole Chancellor of
the State which office he lately resigned aud is now
Secretary of the Treasury OF the United States, AT
an early period of life he ranked among the first in
his profession lawyer and Reporter of the deer
sions of the Court OF Appeals, at time when such
men Rowan, Grundy, Clay, Davies, Sharpe and
Bledsoe were in full practice at the (always) able
aud distinguished bar of that State la his maturer
years he ranks high IN the nation as a profound ju-
rist, and as a Of learning and high literary
complishments. IL is those TO whom these facts are
known, who are now looking with so much anxiety
for the republication OF his Texas letter. Ii has
been written, will be perceived, in answer to a
call made upon him for his opi ion by two dstln-
guished citizens of Maryland. The following the
