OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.


Speaking of the probability of war between
the United States and Mexico the New Orleans
Picayune of Sunday, the 18th ul:imo, has the fol-
lowing:
"The papers received by the mail yesterday con-
firm the report that the squadron about to sail for
the Mediterranean had received countermandng
ORDERS and that the vessels comprising it will pro-
coed to the Gulf of Mexico as speedily they can
be got ready for sea. This is wise measure of
precauton on the part Of the Government, and one
which, if it does not put damper upon the beg.
erent disposition Of Mexico, will at least afford
curity to American commerce in peril of Mexican
cruisers, and at the same time concentrate force
along the coast capable of redressng promptly any
wrongs that may be committed against United
States citizens"
Warlike.--It is stated that dispatches Of an ex-
citing and important bearing have been received al
the Department OF State from both our Ministers
at Brazil and Mexico, on which Cabinet Councils
have been held, and if Mr.. Buchanan's countcnance
is an index, it is feared that some trouble Is brew
ing" The Madsonan hints at these matters, and
states that we have strong naval force already il
the Gulf.
Naval .Morement The U. S. naval force in the
Gulf of Mexico is now ships of 81 guns; A adj
ditiona ships of GO guns, (among them the steamer
Princeton with its big guns) have just been order
ed to the Gulf, making ships and l54 guns. This
may be done to overawe Mexico-but even then i
is bad sign for the peace of the country. Why
overawe her, if there is no danger to be apprehen
ded :

FOREIGN NEWS.

The news from England, Texas, and Brazil, con-
tanned in to-day's paper is unusually interesting.
England, it will be seen, holds strongly on to Ore
son; she will compromise much of what she calls
her rights, for the sake of peace if met in ami
cable spirit on our part otherwise she is deternin-
cd to fight She claims title to Oregon superior
TO ours: we claim for ourselves the better title. In
such a case war will be inevitable, unless the ques
ton between the Governments is managed prudent
H. The buster which has been made in Congress
during the last few years, we need hardly say, has
been far enough from prudent. 1t has aroused
England her: and doubtless for that
very reason she makes higher pretensions, and is
better prepared to enforce them, than she would
have been had different course been pursued.
The Government Of Texas is evidently averse 10
Annexation, while it is alledged that the people are
the other way. 1t must be remembered that all the
news we get on this matter comes through the
friends of Annexation, and is doubtless made out
as strongly for Annexation as 1t can be. The mo-
tive of the Government in opposing the union with
Texas is said to be power or Office; and, for the
purpose of exciting popular feeling in this country,
it is urged that France and England dictate the
policy which the Texan Government is pursuing.
We can conceive motives TO actuate the Govern
ment of Texas other than that Of personal aggran-
dizement Texas, with her independence acknowl-
edged by the whole world-at peace with all-and
with Government of her own to look after her pc.
culiar interests and possessing the power to make
treaties with whom she pleases, as shall be most to
her advantage, will undoubtedly be better off
than she ever could be in the Union. If France
and England help Texas to this independence, we
apprchend the fact need not alarm the people of
this country. With Texas independent, the Unit
ed States make at least as good bargains as
can any other Government: or if Texas is really
inclined to favor free trade with our foreign rivals,
most surely the "bone and muscle" of this country
do not wish her to become part and parcel of it,
and thus to influence the whole Nation for evil
We prefer to see Texas Independent, rather than to
have dozen Free Trade Slave States admitted to
the Union and help PROSTATE us all at the feet of
England.

NEW YORK ELECTION THIRD PARTY.
ISM.

The New York correspondent of the National
ntelllgencer thus speculates ON the result of the
Spring elections in New York:
"The local elections in the principal counties Of
our State indicate remarkable Wing gain and q
large falling offin the Locofoco and Abolition vote
The Wings have large ma ority of Supervisors
for the first time since 1899. Some good, at least
is likely to grow out of the evils which the Adolf
tionists of New York, under the nstigatIon of Mr..
Brney, have succeeded in inhlcting upon the coun-
try at large The political importance of that par
ty has been utterly destroyed by their course at the
late Presidential election. They are now spoken
OF only with execration and contempt and present
Developments showing that their force has been
reduced till it is no longer formidable. The hon
est men of the party feel that they have been deu-
ded and swinded by the trading politicians among
their active leaders, by following whom they have
betrayed the very principles for which they were
battling. Mr., Blneys impotent attempt to justify
his inconsistent course only eXces derisiun and
dcnunclation. He may be regarded politically
extinct His influence in this State is at end.
Rochester correspondent of the Boston Cour-
Ter tcstiies to the same purport. After noticing the
cooperation Of the l4ocofocos and "Libcny" par
ties for several years, down to the disastrous result
in 1884, and the happy change this spring, he says
But let me be little more explicit-and
speak from my olrn personal knctcledge when say
that nine tcnths of the articles published in the Al
clifton organ Of this city, during the years 1871
and AZ, were written by Henry O'Rlley since edi.
tor of the Albany Atlas tI.ocofoco,) and the bal
ance of tie articles in that paper, were written by
still more violent l.ocoioco But now the rank
and file of the Abolition party, are getting their
eyes open to the prohgacy OF their leaders, and are
coming back to the Wing ranks and this is The Sc
cret of the great success that is every where atten-
ding the Wing party in their county elections we

unless Nauvelsm or some other third party is play
ed off to our destruction"

o. The Hudson correspondent of the Courier
g. Enquirer relates this incident connected with
the disaster of the .Soaliop, which should not be
allowed TO TO pass unnoticed
Joseph Reed, one of the tenymen between flud
son and Athens, was rowing in his yawl at the time
the Swallow struck the rock AS soon as he ap-
preciated the nature OF the disaster, he used all his
efforts to reach the place, and succeeded in saving
on boards and fragments Of the wreck. BY some
of them he was offered reward for his interpidity,
which he refused, and said" Although / am
poor man, did net exert myself to save your lives

he is, belongs to the Grace Darling school of Phi
lanthropists.

The Mail deems it advisable TO deduct large
amount from our table, on the ground that the Cen
trail route does not "touch the counties of Caledo-
MIA or Orleans at all !" but object to the rule
The question is not, whether either route actually
touches particular section not, but will it reach
and benefit lis business? IF actual contact is neces
sary, the Mail will be obliged to concede either
that the Central route is the shortest or that it
"touches" more than the Rutland nay it must
give up all the ioicnS, near they may be to either
route, which are not actually hit by the road In
deed, it seems inclined TO take that absurd ground,
and says:
1t is a fact that the population and wealth oft the
towns along the line of the Rutland route in YER
mont, are nearly double those of the towns on the
Central route in the same state"
Now we must suggest to the citizens of Boston,
that if this is a specimen of the general inte-
gence IA tolerabe imitation of the style the Mail
would make us add-or rerociiy) of the Mail ed-
tor, the least appreciable quantity of confidence is
