The editor of the Wisconsin Argus thinks
it bad policy TO express publclya preference
for any one for nomination for the delegacy.
Perhaps il is, but it does not so strike US.
There are different opinions abroad as to
what the proper sphere or du'y of the press
is. Many think il should be mere ins,ru.
meni in the hands of its party or the mass,
to echo every sentiment of popular clumor
without aspiring TO instruct or guide: others
again, would have il a teacher; not with ar
rogance assuming TO dictate, but with mild
ness endeavoring TO guide and instruct
Both of these opinions are pretty well rep
resented in the press Of the country. Bui
10 the point. If the first PRONUNCIATION of a
name belongs of right 10 convention, the
people having nothing whatever TO do with
it until after such PRONUNCIATION, then the
Argus is right. But if, on the other hand,
it is matter belonging 10 the people at the
start, and the Convention is merely an agent
to harmonze their views, il would seem that
The press would not be out Of place in agita-
ting the matter, and calling the people TO
think Off And it seems TO US too, that il
an editor conscien,ously believes that the
nomination of particular Individual has in
il the greatest good for the principle and par
", il is due TO those who sustain him as a
sentinel upon the wa;ch,ower, tia, he info rm
them. This have we done and thus have
we been actuated. How such expression OF
preference gives the opposition an adYan-
tage over them if their preference is not gra-
tilted by the convention" we can not per
ceiye. five started with the assertion that
our man was the only one of the party fit for
the station, or who could possibly be elected
there might be some ground for such an op-
MON, but we have done no such thing. Why
also. the expression Of preference, is cal
culated 10 prejudice his chance with the
convention, we are al loss TO understand.
If the convention is a thing separate and
apart iIom the people, 10 dictate 10, not TO
represent them, there may be something in
il. We have spoken 10 ihe~peopIe, and
from them, and not US, We expect the con-
venton to imbibe IFS likes and dislikes.
We dom, like the advice of the editor to
use our opinions, if we have any. bu, il pri-
vate. We have no opinions that we are
afraid or ashamed of; if we had personal
object TO attain, which might conflict with
what was best for the interest Of the party,

LATE EROM MEXICO.

The City Of Merico desola.ed BY an
Earthquake. The New Olcans Bee :
received copy of The Vera Ctusano of the
18th inst, received by the same arrival the
news which we published yesterday, con
tainng the account of the awful earthquake
which desolated The city OF Mexico on the
18th ult.
AT the moment we write, says the SigIo
of the Sh, the inhabitants of The capital o
the republic are still under the influence of
the horrors excited by the earthquake OF
yesterday, the disastrous effects of which
we are still impetfec;ly acquainted with.
Yesterday, at 50 minutes past 3 o'clock,
P. Nj. The oscillations began, slight at first
and then stronger The direction of the
motion appeared 10 he north and south. 1t
lasted about two minutes. The shocks
were terrible, Ike them was never expert
enced before, and the condition of the bull
i.ngs too surely proves the improblb,llty of
exaggeraton.
Wewere by chance upon the great square
II the time, and we witnessed spectacle
10: easily forgotten. In an instant the null
|tpde, bat a moment previous iranpail and
.islcss, were upon their knees, praying TO
he Almighty and counting with anxiety the
shocks which threatened TO convert the
most beautiful city in the New World into
4 vast theatre Of ruins The chains sur
oundng the portico were violently agitated;
he flags Of The pavement yawned open, the
rees bent fiighdaly, the buildings and loi-
~ editices oscila;ed to and fro, the i'm
nensc arrow which crowns the summit Of
he caihe lral brated with astonishing ra-
',dity. AT &c minutes past the move
nenis had ceased
1t is impossible yet 10 ascertain the cx
ent OF destruction. Not house or door
out bears the marks of this terrible calami-
Y.
At 8 O'clock last evening, seventeen per-
'ons had been taken from The ruins of other
buildings and carried 10 the Hospital.
AT three quarters p3si six, and quarter
,ast seyea, Two more shocks wee felt.
They we're, however, slight, and occasioned
nothing but temporary renewal Of terror.
The authorities did everything that zeal
md humanity could suggest, TO carry help
o the victims, and restore the aqueducts
which furnish water to the city.

The delightful, weather of The past few
days, has Clothed oar wooCs and fields with
the verdure of Spring. Certainly nothing
can be more grateful TO the senses after the
chill and gloom of winter, than the delicious
freshness which now pcrvades all nature.
Summer may give to our fields and forests

the air vocal with their songs, but it is in the
budding spring that the foliage is the green
