Ihe ftace rails with MEXICO.
The relations between the United States and
Mexico have lately assumed new aud singular
aspect, the result Of which will soon be manifest,
and must soon take place. II is already known
that Mr. Buchanan despatched Mr.. Habersham
as bearer Of dispatches 10 Commodore Conner,
aud also TO the Mexican Minister Of Foreign AZ
tairs, on the sh Of July last. which dispatches
contained pacific overiures likely to be accepted
by Mexico
published in our paper yesterday, para
graph from the New Orleans PioaySne, stating
that Mr.. Habersham had arrived at Pensacola,
and then proceeded to sen in the revenue cutter
Waooti. bound to Vera Cruz, but the Captain
fearing the approach Of a storm, put back, and
Mr. Habersham then went to New Orleans,
where he arrived the 18Th inst, and was to
have left again on the l4th for Brazos, from which
place he would proceed to Vera Cruz.
This delay is very unfortunate, and may be the
cause of another great battle between the Anne
rican and Mexican armies, which might possibly
have been avoided If the messenger had met with
no delay. This is plain enough, when we know,
by the last accounts from Vera Graz, that Paredes
had left the capital the head of several thousand
men, TO oppose the march OF General Taylor and
the American army, on the same day that Mr..
Habersham left Washington, and also that Santa
Anna and his friends left Havana ON the sth
inst, and arrived at Vera Cruz on or about the
18th inst.
1t follows then, that IL Mr.. Habershsm had not
met with any delay in pursuing his route to Vera
Cruz, he would have arrived there some DAYS
before Santa Anna. There cannot be any doubt
that Santa Anna was proclaimed ruler OF the
destinies of Mexico Immediately on his arrival,
by the party tina, always advocated bis recall; and
that in few hours after, his cabinet was con-
structed. If then Mr.. Habersham had arrived
before Santa Anna, he, Mr.. Habcrsham, would
have delivered his dispatches to the minister of
foreign affairs, appointed by Santa Anna, and il
not directly acted upon, temporary cessation Of
hos'illues might have resulted, 10y the recall OF
Paredes; and the preminaries of a lasting
peace, drawn mp and debated. As it has hap
pened, however, that Mr.. Habersham will not
have arrived at Vera Cruz until several days az
ter Santa Anna, aud until several days after Pa
redes had taken up his ne of march to Monte
reg, he will urve at that place before n courier
from the capitol could overtake him IL Paroles
then has met with no impeachment, and carries
out his determination to oppose the American
troops, he will soon be at Monterey, and gene
raj battle between the whole military force Of the
respective nations will soon take place.
In the event of battle, it is very lkely<abat
General Taylor will conquer a peace for II Pa
redes be defeated, it will be impossible for the
Mexicans TO raise another army to oppose us.
News from Monterey and Vera Cruz, will now
be looked for with more anxiety than ever.
NArIvElsM AND ABoLIrIoNIsm. the wire pull
lers and stratagem planners of all the political
parties in this State, have their wits mt work in
laying their plans for the ensuing fall election.
The natives are already in the field, and have
put forth their nominations for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, having at their convention
that was held few days since, nominated Ed
ward G. Deavan, the temperance advocate, for
the first office, and George Folsom of this city for
the other.
The convention displayed good management
and some tact in these nominations. for Mr.
Delavan is well known to be a strong abolitionist
and temperance man, and will no doubt, receive
great portion of the votes OF these classes The
wings on a former occasion supported Mr. Fol-
som, the nominee of the natives, and they may
do so again next fall, if they perceive that he
has chance of drawing off many OF the aboli-
ton and temperance votes The long cherished
projects of the abolitionists to hold the balance of
power, and then unite with either so as to con-
troll the State, will no doubt be attempted next
election.
In this way, then, the next election assumes a
very interesting, ifnot an important aspect; and it
will require the most strenuous exertions on the
part of the democrats to avoid a total defeat.
a union like this between the wings, natives, abo-
litionists, and temperance men, be effected. il
will forever settle the question of negro rights in
this State. We have no idea, however, that the
people-the masses-are disposed to incorporate
all the various iss that would be concentrated in
this supposed union, or if such union were effec.
ted, that such discordant materials would adhere.
A few weeks will probably make developments
of an extraordinary kind in a political point Of
view.
