RICHES OF Mexico. = The following
account of the riches Of the city Of Mex
leo is not by any means calculated toa.
bate the ordor Of those chivalrcus spirits
among US, who wish to raise the star-spau-
gled banner on its embellishments;
"The secular Clergy own properly
worth, at the lowest estimation, hundred
million of dollars.
"From the centre of the vast Dome Of
Pueba de los Angales depends the grand
Chandelier--a mass OF gold and silver Of
some tons weight, 10 the right Of the
Altar is figure of the Virgin nearly the
size of life Dressed in the richest EN-.
broidered satin, she displays strings Of tho
largest pearls; round her brow is a crown
of gold, inlaid with emeralds, and her waist
is bound with rope OF diamonds and en-.
ormous brillants.
Candelabras are of silver and gold,
and so ponderous that strong man can,
not move one. The Host is one mass Of
priceless aud innumerable jewels.
I" 10 the Cathadrel of the city of Mexl-
co is rail two hundred feet in length, four
or five feet high, and of proportIonaOle
thickness, composed of gold and silver, and
within it figure of the Virgin Of Rene,

of pearls, one Of emeralds and the thid
of diamonds, worth three millions Of dol
lars. The Church of Gaudaloupe IS even
richer, and at Loreilo the last supper IS
represented by figures before whom are
placed piles of gold and silver pate.
The gold mine 0: Gaudaloupe IN tho
town Of Conalo is supposed to be the rich
est in the world. 1t belongs TO Sgnor

LET EVERY DEMOCRAT BE AT HIS
POST-IMPORTANCE OF VOTING.
Every democrat ought to vote at the
coming election; and he ought TO vote
bearing in mind that his vote is cast for
principles held sacred by the vast ajori-
ty Of the people-principles, which, if car
ried out will promote the greatest good to
the greatest number--principles that have
for their basis equality of rights TO all
without iavors 10 any. The people should
look at this subject with unbiased feelings;
and the. honest men Of all parties should
ACT upon il in such a manner as to re-
move from their conduct every suspicion of
impure or unworthy motives. They should
look well to their own interest, and their
counlry's welfare, and remember that, in
the approaching election,
Erery uote cast for the Democrats
is a vote TO render the State policy per.
manent in favor of the democratic mea.
snres of equal and exact justice 10 all, for

TnE Book The whole political press
If the Union is in excitement about the
volume Of confidential letters recently pub
Ished BY w. l.. Mackenzie, OF New York
They are letters written by several distin
gnished politicians of that Stale, to Jesse
Hoyt, the recent defauling Custom house
officer. The letters are strictly private =
relating chiefly to mere individual affairs
land cannot be claimed in any way as
official or public in their character. They
could have seen the ligh, only BY the per.
idy of Hoyt, or by the stealth OF Macken-
zie. In either cnse, there can be but one
opinion about the baseness of the act
which has gwen them to the public. Yet,
before the public, as they are, their devel'
opponents cannot be retracled, and we are
not 10 consider hnw the revelations have
been made--but are they true, and are
they of any consequence
We believe the genuinencss Of the let
tiers has not been disputed; and, indeed
they bear on their face Intrinsic proof o
truth. But we believe the Importance o
their developements has been greatly eS
nggerated, and that Those who have prick
ed their cars to hear the startling reveal
lions Of corruption, burgain, intrlgnc, &c.
with which the whig press has prelende'
they abound, will I've disappointed. No
BY any means, that We would mean 10 sa,
that the conduct Of all those whDso Serre
deeds are brought before the public, chi
lie justified; for we find in one or i've
individuals, petty schcming, contempt
lille dupliciiy for selfish and corrnp, ends
which we can never excuse in friend o
Toe, and which is not the more padonahle
because, with one or two prominent poll
licians Of our opn State, we have track
> ed up very much the same sort Of intrigue
: duplicity and corruption. The readers
I these letters will be disappointed, not 10
: cOlise there Us no corruption exposed, b'
r because there is not as much as the why

!, The men they have tried 10 induce the put
lie 10 suppose implicated, will bs found
rise higher lrlm the exposure. Anon

THE MACKENZIE PAMpHELT.-An in
vestigaton before The police court OF New
York has been going forward in relation 10
these celebrated letters, with the view Of
detecting the individuals concerned in their
publication, at the same time TO render tho
speculation less advantageous than Mac
kenzie and his friends have been led to an.
ticipate. Messrs. Burgess g. Stiugcr,
and VIM. Taylor, the agents for the sale Of
the work, have had an injunction served
on them, to prevent their paying over the
proceeds to Mackenzie. From this, iiap.
pears that the IL or $4,000 which have
already been realized by the sale Of lhe
work is not likely to go into the pocket o.
Mr.. VIM L. Mackenzie, as he anticipated
perhaps when he published The letters. i
is but Just, as the letters are Mr.. Hoyrs,
that he should realize any profit which IS
q arise from their publication and sale
This will make an important diiierencc %
Mackenzie, and leave him nothing but 'Oe
honor Of the publication 10 pay for DIS
trouble.

there to hear from Texas; and, in the mean time,
the public opinion was made up, that declaration
of war by Mexico would follow Immediately on
the announcement of annexation; and the United

THE NEW STATE

We have seen Florida fairly launched as one of
the States Of this confederacy The inaugural of
Gov Moseey breathes the pure principles of the re-
publican party. The election, as senator's Of the
United States, of Mr. Levy, one Of the most accom-
plshed and efficient members Of the House Of Rep
resentatyes of the United States, and of Mr. Wes-
colt, formerly secretary of the Territory contributes
two able and valuable members to that important de-
partment of the government. They will not only
watch the peculiar interests of Florida, but cast
general eye over the broad expanse of our whole
country. We published erroneous account OF
the action of the democratic caucus at Tallahassee,
from the "Star" Office, which the Flordian" cor
reefs in the following paragraph:
The senators baloted for by tho to-
gether-one member however, not votngj leaving the
