passed through Vera Cruz about the
first of the month, upon mission, as,
was said, from the Government of
Mexico to that Of the United States.
This circumstance taken in connection
with the negotiation then pending with
Texas, and the secrecy with which the
object ofhis mission was kept from the
public, caused no little commotion in
that city. One Of the journals more fa-
vorable 10 war than peace, remarking
upon this mission, exclaims: Every

To Sweeten Rancid Butter.

The Echo du Monde Sauamt says
san agriculturis. in the neighborhood
of Brussels. having succeeded in re.
moving the bad smell and disagreeabls
taste from butter by beating, or mix
ing in freshs waterl chloride of lime,
he was encouraged by this happy
result to continue his experiments, by
trying them on butter SO rancid as
to be past use; and he has restored
to butter, whose odor and. taste were
insupportable, all the sweetness
of fresh. This operation is ex-
tremely simple, and practicable to all;
j. consists in beating the butter in a
sufficient quantity Of water, in which
put twenty-five to thirty drops Of chlo-
ride of lime to two pounds OF butter.
After having mixed it till all its parts
are in contact with the water, it may
be left in it for an hour or two; after
wards Withdrawn, and washed anew
in fresh water. The chloride of lime
having nothing injurious in it, can with
safety be augmented: but after having
verified the experiment, it was found
that twenty five or thirty drops to q
kilogramme OF butter were sufficient

Dissolution OF THE UNION The
United States are now exhibiting the
most wonderful spirit of conquest which
ever appeared in the world. They
conquer. not as other nations have
done, by fire and sword, killing one hall
the people and desolatng the country
for the sake Of ofconquering it, but'simply
by establishing so good and useful gov.
ernment, that the neighboring nations
ask the privilege of becoming subject
to 1t. All the inducements which
France, England and Mexico, can hold
out 10 Texas, will not make her doubt
or hesitate one moment about accept
ing our proposal. independence, com.
mercial treaties. social privileges, she
counts as dross, that she may win an
nexation. Certainly an alternative so
utterly rejected by Texas, cannot be
desired by any State already in this
Union. A force so irresstibly cenlrip.
etal, cannot throw off fragments.
When Mr.. Garrison, or Mr.. Philips, has,
by the power ofhis eloquence, persua-
ded moving body to float up stream,
then there will be some danger that
the same power will dissolve this u
nion. Suppose some one of our 81
States were to fall out of the Union,
what is the first thing it would do?
Why, ask to be reannexed.- Journal Of
Commerce..

+Aa ca.e. aud some other ships of war
are to be added 10 the pq~earou.
In the mean time, notice some i'm
portant suggestions in the Texas pa
pers on this subject.
The Galveston "News" of May Sd
gives some rumors in support of the O.
pinion that M exico will take the altern.
alive of war.
"The prominent and most popular
charge, Says the News,) against Santa
Anna, is his neglect to prosecute the wal
against Texas. The recovery of this
country has always been the popular
theme of Mexico upon which all par
ties seem to uniIe with enthusiasm.
The present elevation of Hererra is ex'
ceedingly precarious, and he must fee
that it is attended with danger. Nc
man in Mexico ever has been able to
MAINTAIN this eminence withoat an ar.
my. Personal ambition must therefore
conspire with the popular impulse oi
the nation to raise an army ofinvasion
The present is the last opportunity tc
soothe their wounded sensibilities. A
neglect to reassert their claim to Texas
before the question of annexation is fl
nally settled, will be deemed virtua
surrender by their own .tacit consent
To what extent foreign powers may
lend their aid, whether secretly or open.
ly, remains yet to be seen."
The "News" urges 'precautionars
measures" 1t states what is ne,os te
me, that "lMr. Polk has alaeady been
called upon to take possession of Teras
as was formerly done by Mr.. Madison
in the case of West Florida
Without the consent of Texas, tht
News adds, Mr. Polk will hardly tax.
This step. "The question ofannexation,
says the same paper, sis already set
tied in tact, though not tn form. A
the meeting Of our congress in June
full authority will undoubtedly be givel
for the United States troops to occup.
our frontiers; and give security AM
protection to the country"
These suggestions seem TO be impor
tant. II Mexico should make any dem
onstrations against Texas, pending tn
negotiations upon the subject ofanneza
ton, our government will certainly in
terfere for its protection. A few day
will give us the result of the Mexican
counsels on the subject.

The following from the Richmond Whig,
is quite compliment to the Democracy of

part at least to the Democracy Of every State
in the Union:
"We wish we were, and could conscien.

There are no- traitors in its ranks, what is
better still for them no asses!-for we had
rather have to do with traitor than an ass.
above all a conceiled ass! Yes, we love and

them. continue to secure them the sceptre!"

New Mexico.

We copy the following from letter
published in the last number of the
Western Exposition, published at In
dependence, Nilsson
Taos, New MEXICO,
March 81, ls45.
To The Editor Of the Erpositor.
Dear SiE The glorious spirit Of an
nexation is spreading like prairie fire
up the Rio del Norte, and rafting the
dried bones in New Mexico. The
news of Santa Annals collapse into
prison has just reached us. Governor
Martinez is levying forced loan of
$4,000 for tie soldiers. The popula.
tion of Santa Fe and all North Of it,
amounting to $4,000, refuse to pay.
John Scolly, an American merchant in
Santa Fe, assessed at 5000, has refused
to pay, and has been thrust into pris-
on by Martinez. Mariana Charvis,
assessed at $1,000, refuses to pay until
Martinez accounts for $l50,00O which
he has already sponged from the peo-
pie of New Mexico. The Governor
refuses to account, but demands more.
Two thirds Of the people demand an
nexation as the only means to escape
from the avarice and tyranny of such
government. Both Americans and
Mexicans are making large purchases
of land upon the streams running into
the Rio del Norte and Arkansas, an
ticipating annexation. Ex-Governor
Armijo is stirring up and concentrating
around him the means of ejecting Mex
ican domination, and will shortly sue.
coed in so doing. He rises in popular
esteem, and his influence increases as
Martinez becomes odious and hated.
Government, here, accompllshes nothing
but the obstruction of domestic tranquil
lity and indiscriminate misery wherever

The governor and his fat soldiers for
whom we are taxed never stirred from
their barracks in the city. The Apa-
ches sometime before, robbed Messrs.
Soeyers of l6O mules on the lower Del
Norte. The governor smokes and
sleeps whilst the savages devastate the
country.
The Gold Mountain has become
more extensively worked this season
than heretofore. The search for gold
has been extended to the south side OF
the mountain with great success. The
4 gentlemen by whom | send this, takes
$4,000 in gold dust, some Jumps val

Santa Fe. The gold region lies en-.
tirely on the Eastern side of the Rio
Del Norte, and if worked with any en-
ergy, would yield millions annually
This country is capable Of being one
of the most prosperous on the continent
but is every year sinking under the re-
pacity of its feeble tyrants. To i'm
