extracts from this short but comprehensive docu-

"The great failure in the provision crop Of the
last season, which inflicted severe suffering on
many Of our people, has been followed this year by
most abundant and plenteous yield Of every grain
and grass that serves as food for man. and the ami
mails committed to his care. The crop Of one Of
our great stopTes, (cotion,) though moderate, is in
at least fair proportion when compared with that
of our sister States engaged in similar cultivation.
The health of our people has been good rand they
have been studiously observant Of the laws and
every obligation Of good citizenship; WHILE to crown
all, n sense OF returning juatice has marked the
measures of the federal government. The faithful
fulhlment of its promises in destroying the protec
tive system; their wse adherence to sound consti,-
tiona principles in administering power; the happy
adjustment Of our disputes with England on terms
so honorable and advantageous to each, laying
broader and irmer the foundations Of the peace and
prosperity Of both nations, claim at our hands the
warmest expressions of admiration. In the recent
example and concurrent action of England and the
United States, progress has been given TO the
principles Of free trade among the nations of the
earth which, while il adds another grant TO the
great charter Of human liberty--the right to enjoy
the ruIl and Unrestricted reward of its own labor
promises the early fufment ofthat higher civilization
and Improvement which mparts to our race the
greatest usefulness and confers the highest enjoy

war, and harmonizing nations in tho bonds Of peace

FROM SANTA FEE.

II Ia.
We have been favored with the perusal of a let
ter from member OF Capt. Hudson's company,
now stationed in Santa Fe. 1t arrived at the Same
time with Major Fitzpatrick, and contains some
items Of interest The writer says: Lieutenant
Col Cook has arrived at Santa Fe from the rceuar
command under Gen. Kearny, and is in command,
at present, Of the brigade of Rootdjgzers, as they
are christencd. This brigade consists Of Capt III II
company and the Mormon infantry, / understand

company two months of the pay due them. If they
are not paid more, e.haf Of the company wilinot

BILE for them to trade their horses for mules without
great sacrifices A good mule rs worth from fty
TO seyenty-hye dollars, and IN great demand.
The Spaniards laugh at Us when offer our horses
for mules, and do not blame D m, for, generally
speaking, worse-l0oking To- i animals never
saw. The ravens will have idase times, doubtless,
this winter. Major Walker has arrived, and brought
no money with him. The impression was, | believe,
that there was plenty of specie here, and that ne
might be able to get checks on the United States
cashed. This was great mistake. The men a.
very anxious to be paid off; the suffers are very ex
orbant in their prices, and necessary articles can be
boughrmueh cheaper for cash than from them

General Kearny informed us that he would not be
able to procure forage for us this winter; but Mai
Clark will make some arrangement for us in that
line, hope; at least he has promised so to do The
grazing, in the neighborhood Of Santa Fe is very
poor dry grass, and not very plenty with scarcity
of water, sandy dry Trairies, and and rocky ridges

which has been very pleasant lately, has changed to-
day, and now it is quite cold. Wohad a storm Of

Our readers will bear in mind that two democrats

Congress from this State and that there are four va
cancies OF the probability possibility of the cleo
ton of another federast. they may judge from the
following official report of the governor and coun-

The governor and council have counted the
votes for members Of Congress at the election in
September. In the first district, David Hammonds,
Jem is elected by 7l2 majority over all others 10 the
third, Hiram Belcher, federast, has 1893 majority;

OF our goyernment--leading into wars and con-
quests, away from that peaceful policy by which
constitution rs 10 be preserved, and the perma-
nent prosperity and greatness OF our country most

eminent TO procure peace, by rendering the olive
branch TO Mexico, at the very moment when our
armies, flushed with victory, and eated with the
most glorious lriumphs, ready TO be precpiated
upon her territories, were wise, well timed, and, IN
all respects, such became powerful and mag
unanimous nation. The honor of our country de-
mands, since Mexico has refused to negotiate, that
she shall be made TO feel the full force of pow
er and that the war shall be prosecuted with the ut
most vlgor. Yet, cannot but indulge the hope
that she may be awakened TO AN early and just
sense OF her true condition. and that this uni Apply
