LATER FROM MEXICO.

IMPORTANT lNTELLIGENCE.-By the mr.
rival at the Southwest Pass of The English
frlgate Spartan, Hon. Capt. Eliot, which
vessel sailed from Vera Cruz on the 18th
inst, we have intelligence Is days later
from Mexico.
The city wss rife with rumors yestsr-
day morning, to the effec! that our Minis
ter TO Mexico, the Hon. VIM. Shannon,
had demanded his passports and was On his
way home, and also that serious reyou-
ton had broken out in Mexico which had
resulted in the overthrow Of Santa Anna
There certainly was some foundation
for this startling Intelligence; but the news
does not turn out as imPorlan! as was frs:
reported, although still OF momentous
nature.

States or any other foreign government tt

public.
Gov Shannon, in answer, characterize
the Secretary's letter as being grossly Of
fensive, inasmuch as it charges the Uni
ted States, its government and people witt
ralsehood. trickery, intrigues and design:
Of the most dishonorable character.
T Gov Shannon alleges that the note o.
the Secretary is so gross in its character,
so offensive, that he can only demand that
it be at once withdrawn.
The Mexican Minister replies with the
utmost warmth.
He treats the earlier part Of Mr.. Shan
mons correspondence as being supercili-
Gus and offensive, justifies all that he has
himself written, protests that the Mexican
Government has done and is doing all that
it can to prevent rupture with the United
States, but iha. affairs have reached such
crisis that il was necessary for his gov
ernmsnt to speak plainly before the world.
He, therefore declines to withdraw the
note.
From the tone Of this letter, it is evident
enough that the Mexican Minister is of the
opinion that Mr. Shannon does not speak
the sentiments Of a majority Of the people
Of the United States IN relation to the Tex
as question.
lie considered, too, tha. our recent Pro-
sidential contest must have resulted in the
election Of MIR. Clay, and he speaks Of
that gentleman, Mr.. Adams and the U. S.

he holds Mr.. Tylers administration alor.e
responsible for the present complication Of
affairs between the two countries.

The Rev. c. c. Torrey has been con-

may entertain for Mr.. Torrey, in view of
this result of misguided beneyoIence, we
must nevertheless admit that his sentence.
as general principle, is just. However
bad the laws, it is not their violation that is
desirable, but their reform. The article
which will BIO found on the outside of our
paper, we believe shows the true position of
things. We believe ourselves that the abo-
lltion;s's have, and are doing more to injure
the cause for which they profess and design

part of true and reasonable philanthropists
can counteract. When day after day we

The following is the reply of President
Polk to some complimentary remarks adj
dressed to him at public meeting al Nash
vile:
return to you sir, and to my fellow
citizens whose organ you are, my sincere
and uneeigned thanks for this manifesto
lion of the popular regard and confidence,
and for the congratulations which you
have been pleased to express to me,
upon the termination and result of the late
political contest | am fully sensible, that
these congratulations are not, and cannot
be, personal to myself 1t is the eminent
success Of our common principles which
has spread such general joy over the land.
The political struggle through which the
country has just passed has been deeply
exciting. Extraordinary causes have ex-
listed TO make it SO. 1t has terminated it
is now overland sincerely hope, and be-
lieve, has been decided by the sober and
settled judgment of the American people.
-" In exchanging mutual congratulations
with each other upon the result OF the late
election, the Democratic party should re-
member, in calmly reviewing the contest,
that tho portion Of our fellow citizens who
have differed with US in opinion have equal
political rights with ourselves; that minori-
ties as we'll as ma jorl,ies are entitled 10 the
full and free exercise Of their opinions and
Judgments, and that the rights Of all,
whether Of minorilies or malori.ies, as
such, are entitled to equal respect and re-
gard.
In rejoicing therefore, over the sue
cess Of the Democratic party, and Of their
pr ncples, in the late election, it should
be in no spirit Of exul,a:ion over tho de-
feat Of our opponents; but 1t should be be-
cause, as we honestly believe, Our princi-
pies and policy are better calculated than
theirs to promote tho .rus interests Of the
whole country.
&" In the position in which have been
placed, by the voluntary and unsough. sufi:
RACES Of my fellow-cilizens, it will becoms
my duty, ms it will be my pleasure, faith
fully and truly to represent, in the Exec
utive department of tho government, the
principles and policy Of the great party OF
the country who have elevated me to il;
but at the same time it is proper that
should declare, that shall not regard N.Y.
self as the representatives Of part only,
bu, Of the whole United States; and tru.,
that the future policy Of the Government
may be such, as TO secure the happiness
and prosperity Of ALL without distinction
Of party"

The Water Cure, new mode Of treating
diseases, is rapidly gaining popularity in
Germany. The most celebrated practitioner
is one Preissntz, and his hab;tation is daily
thronged with the diseased seeking his ad-
vice and practice. The last N. Y. Tribune
contains a certificate signed by several citi-
zens of the United States, and also many OF
the first citizens of Europe, testifyiDg to the
great virtues of the remedy, and IFS wonder
full results. We believe the cure is nothing
more than the use Of water in different ways
and under different circumstances. We
have no doubt but the present mode OF
practice among physicians is destined at no
distant day TO give way to much more sim
pie and etficacious mode Of treatment.

We notice that some person advertises
in one of the Milwa ukis papers for the pre-
sent Whereabouts of our Secretary, and
wishes to know if in his absence he leaves
any one in discharge of his duties, as bust
ness letters have been add. essed 10 him
which remain unanswered. What a vast
deal of trouble and evil would be avoided,
by having for Secretary man with his
home and interest among US. If the coming
administration has that regard for the inte-
rest and wishes of the people, which We
believe it hes, such an individual will be ap.
pointed.

A woman in Lake county, some 10 miles
south OF this place, has been arrested on
the charge of numbering her husband by
administering poison. 1t appears that the
woman and her husband lived in house
owned and occupied in part by another man,
who was unmarried. A guilty attachment
on the part of the woman forthis man, was
supposed TO be the motive of the deed; and
if we rightly understand, he is also suspect
ed as an accomplice. The husband died
suddenly and was inferred but suspicion
being aroused, his body was taken up, his
bowels removed and taken to Chicago for
examination, and the undoubted evidences
ofpo;son detected. We believe the woman
has beeu committed for trial. We are not
aware that the man has been. The parties

By a table before US, the popular majority
Of Polk over Clay, exclusive of South Car
olina, is 59,443. Setting down South Car
DINA as she voted for members of the Leg
islature, inclusive, it is $3.50. The Lib
erty vote is 62,l30, leaving Mr.. Polk in a
majority over all. Itappears from this, that
had Clay got the vote of New York, by a
majority equal TO that of Polk, he would still
have been in a decided minority of the po-
pular vote. Including the abolition vote,
his minority is now l4S,5I3 votes.
