the growth Of mighty empire Of civilization and
christianity, where she had found but the rude will

that proudest and purest joy Of mothers heart to
be found in the elevation of several of her sons TO
posts of high honor among their felow-men, in the
noble country Of which she was pioneer. Among
her sons were the late Hon. Henry w. Conway;

Batesville district; DR.. John r. Conway, of Hot

FRENCH VIEWS OF MEXICAN RELA-
TONS

The French paper in New York expresses, in the
following article, its opinions of the relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States. 1t is under
'he impression that Great Britain will not assist
Tue Mexieans in any hostile measures they may
adop that she viii even insist upon returning the
sword into its scabbard that if Mexico be thus left
her own resources, she has not the means mot
the "sinews Of war;" as money has been appropri-
aely called--for carrying on war with the United
States; that the peace of the two countries will,
therefore, be preserved unless the Mexican troops
should be guilty Of some "act Of patriotic folly" and
undertake. some "skirmishes" against the American
army. In this event, the Courier may he assured
that war is almost inevitable. Not that the Ameri
cans wish to take advantage of such an "act Of fol
y;" bot that the strongest feelings Of the whole
country will at once be roused-the honor, the prd
Of The American character, will be Immediately ex
cited. The whole valley Of the Mississippi vii

MAINE ELECTION.

Below we give all the returns received up to the
hour Of going to press. The returns have not come
in so rapidly last year-here not being the usual
degree Of interest in the interior towns. The split
tickets in this city were very numerous. Governor
Anderson is undoubtedly elected. Our ticket OF
senator's we think, is eso carried-or at least three
of them. The run for county attorney is close, SO
far as received; but we think Swasey (democrat) is
elected; Of this, however, we shall know certainly
in the course Of the day. Charles Cobb as clerk
of the courts, and Daniel Merrill, as county CON-
missioner both democrats, elected by large ma
jorities General Smith, as county treasurer, runs
nearer the wind in consequence of third ticket run
against him; but we think he is elected.
II will be seen that there is choice Of represent
atives in this city.

AMERICAN AFFARs.-The absorption of Texas
into the great North American republic has now
become measure 30 probable, that, without any
violence to those decences that should regulate all
discussions having reference TO foreign states we
may intimate our belief that, whatever may have
been the feeblcness the faults the follics of the
Mexican government, this accession to the territory
of the United States cannot he viewed with any
thing like approval by Europe generally. Without
doubt at all il is free to any independent sate-and
Texas after her recognition such by us, is, as
far we concerned, an independent state;--
without doubt, say, il is free TO any independent
state to surrender her Independence, and to merge
herself in another-any other state to whom she
| feels disposition of "annexaon." No purpose is
| II Of ours TO blame, for moment 10 chide the
| Texans that they have adopted this course. Ii
would be idle TO withhold the admission that being
a separate State It was within the legitimate rights
of Texas to unite herself with the United States If
| in the view of Texas, that union promised benefit
| TO herself. II was free act, whether
wise or not Whatever interests of ours may be
| compromised by such an arrangement, we take IL
that we have no right either to interfere 10 COM
plain. IL may he that those who have sought 10 ri
val us IN so many markets---who dared to dis
pute with us the supremacy Of the seas--it might
be, and possibly enough il is that these American
| States will, by the addition of Texas, multiply
their resources and increase their power. Possibly
4 all these gloomy apprehensions will be realized.
But even then we are forced in reference 10 Texas,
to confess that no reasonable ground Of quarrel ex-
lists between us and America. An evil is incurred,
which, If our diplomacy sought to avert, our dplo-
macy has failed in averting and we must needs re-
card the annexation Of Texas in truly philosophc
light as thing which, seeing il cannot be cured must
for that reason be endured. We argue this, because
I we have noted strong desire prevalent for with
4 America; and we argue this, not because dread
i war with America because we fear its issue il
