0FTHE WHIGs-in the Pennsylvania Leg
islature, who supported Gen. Cameron for
Senator IN Congress, asked him, before the
election, if he would support the Tariff of
1912, and the distribution of the proceeds of
the sales of public lands. To which he re-
piled that ifhe was elected he should sustain
the Tariff without change, ana that he would
also support the last named measure, in the
same event. The correspondence between
the Wings of the Legislature and Gen. Cameron
Just published, disrloses these facts beyond
question.
1t will be recolected that Gen. Cameron
was elected by the votes of the Wing men,
bers of the Legislature and the votes of some
10 members of The locofoco party who were
in favor of the Wing Tariff of IS42-as ii is.

PROTECTION CANADA.

Our Canadian neighbors are as great adj

selves effectuaIIy against the cheap grain OF
the West, which is no small affair, since il
they are not able TO raise wheat for less than

ined by having it furnished to them at Is
cents. Again: they have found means TO
s.protect" themselves against cheap, sale and
expeditions importation of their goods from
EngIaud-forcing them to make difficult
and dangerous voyage around through the
ST. Lawrence, which is impracticable about
half of the year, instead of allowing them
the more direct route through our Lake. 1t
will be remembered that the Congress pas
sed Drawback bill, by which, in effect, Brit
isb eoods were allowed to be transported thTO
our country to Canada without paying any
duties. The benefit to both countries was
very obvious. But the Canadians are by no
means pleased. and have succeeded in ''pro-
tecting" themselves against it. The construc-
ton of the law by which this is done seems
TO lis somewhat strained. IL it is just, we
should think very little common sense would
be sufficient TO show Canadians their interest
in having the law changed.

Texas just as she was about TO leave. The
Clerk remained behind, to bring up the
news, expecting to overtakc the Harry Of

reached the Mouth of the Ohio. There
was great excitement in New Orleans, and
large crowds had assembled around the
newspaper Offices to learn what informa-
ton had been brought. The rumors were
Of the most startling character; and as
nothing but rumors were brought, and as a
boat is expected this morning with accu
rate intelligence, we forbear stating more
than that il was reported that counter
revolution had broken out in Mexico will
signal success, and that the Texan Govern
ment had closed with the overtures o
England and France. These reports are
undoubtedly much exaggerated and w

New Orleans, on what they are based.

first things-says the Picayune-which
met our eye upon a G lance at our Mexican
files, were the letter Of SENIOR CUEvAs to

to the Ministers Of Spain, France and Eng

mention, and Of which we now give trans

To HIS ExcELLENCY WILSON SHANNON,
Envoy Extraordinary, &c, &c.
National Palace, Merico,
March 23d, lS45.
The undersigned, Minister of Foreign
Relations, in addressing himself for the
last time, to his Excellency, Mr.. Wilson
Shannon, Minister Plenipotentiary from
the United States, desires to inform him,
that as both houses of the United States
Congress have sanctioned the law in rela-
ton to the Annexation Of Texas to the ter
ri,ory of the United States, and as the
Minister from Mexico has withdrawn from
his mission at Washington, and protested
against the act Of Congress and the Gov
eminent Of the United States, diplomatic
relations between the two countries cannot
be continued.
What can The undersigned add TO what
has already been said by his Government
upon the grave offence offered Mexico by
the United States, usurping portion of
Mexican territory, and violating the terms
Of treaties of friendship, which the Repub.
lie of Mexico has observed on her part as
long as her honor and the desire TO avoid

as il is derogatory TO the honor of the
American Union.
The undersigned renews 10 his Excel.
lency, Mr.. Shannon, the protest already d-
rected against annexation and moreover
would add, that the Mexican Republic will
oppose the measure with all the decision
due TO her own honor and sovereignty, and
that the government ardently desires that
