acres of this scrip. The Mexican government
had very properly declared that these titles were
all fraudulent and yoid. But il a revolution could
be effected, they were to be good and valid. Now
what vast apparatus Tor corruption was here !!
Thus these land jobbers and land scrip-hoiders,
tSwartwout. the cmbezzling collector, was a
large one,) were pulling their string. In General
Jackson all the strings met.
About this time, action began to take new
form in the Southwest, that Of questions 70 their
Representatives in Congress; and soon, that of
legislative resolutions and instructions addressed

TO be effected They have. to sJme extent, &C
complished their object, and at no period have
they been more active and anxious to complete

market there, and perpetual slavery both here and
there, are the grand objects. 1t isweu known

individuals from emancipating, without leave of

constitution finds at length an interpreter.
The only hope of the Southern shareholders to
maintain their baleiul ascendency in the affairs
of this Union, and of perpetuating Their foul
and deadly institution, IS the proposed annexa-
ton. Let the people of the North be girt about
and ready to try this great issue. have hope
of important results from the reported inter-

There is a more remarkable csse, in which

revived. 1t is recorded in Glasgow newspaper
An old man, residing in the neighborhood of that
city, found miniature of his wife, taken in her
youth. She had been dead many years, and he
was a person of strictly sedate and religious
