InsA or DlvlNlry.-Banish all material
ideas Of Deity, and do not let your imagina-
ton struggle to find its way upward to some
material heaven with indefinite and idle con-
ceptions Of monarch seated on throne. The
striking and beautiful metaphors Of the Bible
never we've intended to give US this idea. God
is a Spirit, it says in its mos: emphatic tone.
Where he acts, there only can we see him.
He 10 the widespread Omnipresent Power
which 10 everywhere employed-.he Soul of
the universe-the Centre Of all action--but
whom we can never see or know, except az
hs has revealed Himself in his Word and
works.

MEXICO.

The New York Commercial Advertiser of Sa-
turddy evening notices some details, both curious
and important if authentic, which are given by the
Courier DIES Efafs Unis of the same morning.
According to the journal last mentioned which Processes
have its information from reliable sources the various factions
of the republican party in Mexico which, with diverse objects
in view yet of accord in their opposition to PAREDEs
have agreed to act together taking SANTA anna as Their
chief provided he will give the guarantees they require for his
sincere and faithful return to liberal opinions
Negotiations have been opened to this end Santa Anna has
given the stipulated guarantees and have says the
Cour confidential letter from bis companion in exile,
Manuel Crecencio Reon which gives probable explanations
of Santa Annals past conduct and vouches for his present
good faith
Senior Rejon has also published pamphlet explaining the
reasons which induced Santa Anna make, and himself
his Minister approve the DEGREES of November 20 and De-
cember q 1884, by which Santa Anna established species
of dictatorship by dssovng the Congress and restraining the
liberty Of the press
Don Manuel Reon justifes these extreme measures by
showing that Santa Anna and himself sincerely intended t
invade Texas persuaded they that if Texas should
be annexed the United States would be forever lost
Mexico
srhe Congress- having listened calumnous accusations
that the expedition against Texas only peex for levy
ing ten millions Of dollars refused the indispensable supplies
to the Government. In this extremity the Government be-
eved that the honor and safety of the Republic should be
gared as the supreme law and only vndcaie these did
proceed the establishment Of Dictatorship designed only
to be temporary.
Con6dng in the explanations and pledges thus given the
republican coalition is preparing to recall Santa Anna ant
place him at the head Of the projected revolution But with
the success of that revolution his task win end Once
ed Mexico passing the ruins Of the monarchica party
Santa Anna will convoke the whole people in primary

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The election for Representatives in the towns
where there was no choice at the first trial, took
place on Monday. The New York papers have
partial returns, which show that, far as heard
from, the Wings have elected f,centyone additional
MEMBERS while their opponents have obtained but
fre. Compared with the vote on the 9th, the
Wings have elected four members in towns which
gave Democratic majority for Governor, and the
Democrats two in towns which gave Wing ma
jority for Governor. These results better than
was expected, and if the towns yet 20 hear from
have done as well, there is little doubt that Connec
ticut is still safe for the Wings.
