THE MEXICAN REPUBLIC.


Notwithstanding the degree of public attention
which late events have drawn to the condition and
affairs of Mexico, there seems to prevail much mis-
conception in regard to the form and nature Of its
political organization. Thus in the discussion OF
The New York Historical Society concerning the
proposed change of the designation of the United
States, it has been assumed that Mexico also bears
the title of tUnited States" and that, therefore,
our name is an equivocal one. So, also, in the new
British order in council for the admission Of certain
descriptions of sugar from countries with which
Great Britain has treaties Of reciprocity, the United
States of Mexico are spoken of, together with Ven
ezuela and the United States Of America. These
expressions formed upon very false idea of the
Mexican government, which is not confederation,
and does consist of "United States Of States
in any sense, but is consolidated central govern
ment and is officially denominated the Mexican
Republic"
According to the subssting constitution of Mex.
leo, which was adopted and promulgated in June,
1843 and is entitled "Bases ofpo,ical organization
of the Mexican Republic" the territory Of the re-
public comprehends what was, prior to the revolu-
ton of the Spanish American colonies
l. The viceroyalty Of New Spain.
2, The Capiiania General of Yucatan.
3. The comandancias Of the internal provinces of
the east and west.
4. Upper and Lower California.
S. The Chapas.
This terrtory--excepting the CALIFORNIA; and
Texas--is now divided by law into departments,
with an estimated population for each as follows,
namely:

ITO the editor of the Union
X. s.

The United States Journal of Monday evening
contains the proceedings of meeting at Ports
mouth, New Hampshire, which, the editors of that
print say, held by the "true blue democrats" of
that town. wish merely to say, through the col
umns of the Union, that the individuals whom the
editors Of the Journal endow as "true blue demo-
crats have been, during the last three years, among
the most vindictive enemies of the democracy Of
New Hampshire. They have not only opposed
the measures, but the regular nominations, of the
democratic party Of that State, and have been the
faithful allies of the wings and aboltionsts in their
efforts to defeat and subjugate the firm and indom
table republicans of the Granite State, pursuing
their object with a perseverance and malevolence
which none but renegades can display. And in
addition to the modification Of a common defeat
with their white and black allies, they have been
doomed to writhe under the ignominy which never
fails to follow unsuccessful treason.
As to the meeting itself, but very few of the true
democrats of Portsmouth were present. II was
called for the purpose of choosing delegates to the
State convention then about to assemble. No one
expected that the appointment of the present col
lector that port would be taken up for considera
ton. But the Greenleaf factonsts secretly rallied
their forces, and, securing meagre majority in the
meeting, passed the resolutions published in the
Journal, condemning the appointment of Mr.. Jen-
kins the collector, and thus indirectly condemning
the President for making the appointment. The
writer of this understands well the state of things
at Portsmouth. Mr.. jenkins, the present able and
efficient collector of that port, recommended for
the Office he now holds by nearly every leading
democrat in New Hampshire. Not only is his APP
pointment approved by the democracy of that State
but his election from Office of the half dozen whig
and conservative inspectors, &c, meets with their
hearty appreciation.
In conclusion, will add for the benefit of the
editors Of the United States Journal who claim to
be par excellence the organs of the "young democ-
racy - that if thew hug to their bosoms such rene
gades as passed the resolutions at Portsmouth,
fraternizing with them as part of the ''young de-
they will themselves very soon be held
in light which they will not relish, by the true de-
mocracy of the Granite State, young as well as old.

g. Congress consists of the Senate and the Cham
Der of Deputies.
The Senate is composed of sixty.three members,
elected for six years. renewable in classes every two
years, as in the United States; two-thirds of each
class being elected by the departmental assemblies,
and onethird by the President of the republic and
the Supreme Court.
The Chamber of Deputies is composed Of mem
bers chosen by the electoral colleges of the depart
ments, in the ratio of deputy for every seventy
thousand inhabitants, and for each fraction ex-
ceeding half the number and one at least for each
department. The whole number is now l04
All bills originate in the Chamber of Deputies;
but the Senate and the President participate in their
enactment into laws, as in the United States.
4. The Council Of State consists of seventeen
regular MEMBERS appointed for life by the President,
to which are added all persons who have been Pres
ident of the republic or minister for years time,
all who have received from Congress the honorary
rank of bsne meritos de la pairia and some others.
5. The Supreme Court. This body consists OF
eleven judges, elected by the departmental ASSEM-
blies, who try mpeachmens and all other questions
involving the acts of the civil functionares Of the
republic.
6. The departmental assemblies are possessed of
various minor local functions in subordination al
ways TO the legal authority of Congress.
I. The governors Of departments are appointed
by the President.
To complete this brief exposition Of the frame
state that il was established by the direct nterven-
ton of the army, and that it gives to them large
power in the affairs of the republic. The President
may be, and always has been, general, in actual
commission as such; officers of the army are minis
tiers and members of Congress; public affairs are
discussed and votes taken thereupon by the troops
as such; and each department has its commandant
generalthat is, its military chief az well s po-
litical governor. And when it is considered that
the government thus becomes kind of military
hierarchy that freedom Of conscience is forbidden
by the organic basis; that according to trustworthy
estimates) not in seven of the inhabitants are
able to read and write; that the governing class
(women and children included) consists Of only
one-seventh of the population; that the complicated
system of elections tends still more to restrict and
exclude popular influence; that all the resources Of
the country squandered on large standing
army; and that thus every year or two witnesses a
civil war and military revolution in the govern
ment;--when all these things are considered, it will
be easy to comprehend the state Of dsorganzation
and misrule which weighs down the Mexican re-
public.

the cold Leesburg road" and the Middle turnpike,
about Al miles northwest Of Alexandria, containing
between 80 and "a acres.
The western part of this tract, for nearly half
mile, binds on the Leesburg road, the eastern por-
ton of the middle turnpike. This land, like the
surrounding country, is not only very elevated but
remarkably level, commanding during the sered
leaf of autumn the finest view Of Alexandra, the
heights Of Maryland, and the Potomac river.
About IS acres are cleared at the west end on
which their is an old Westinghouse, and also out
houses, all in dilapidaed state, with well, it is
said of the best water, and the place unsurpassed
in point of health This part is tenacious soil, and
admirably calculated for meadow. The east end is
partly clay, partly gravel; intermedately there
about 80 acres in young growth the balance cleared.
An opening made through these woods from the
western TO the eastern portions of the farm, would
produce the finest effect as regards landscape The
centre ofthe tract (Which in shape is nearly an OBJ.
long, presents most desirable spot for the erection
of dwelling, the being but about quarter Of
mile south Of the Middle turnpike and gradually
nclining eastwardly to deep ravine running in a
southeast direction.
From this spot the view is magnificent, in the en-
phatic sense of the word To gentleman of taste
and fortune, it offers (for summer residence)
