"To complete the list of the disasters with which
unhappy Mexico is threatened, our Havana letters of
May 10Th inform us that the instruction proclaimed
in the South by Gen Don Juan Alvarez in favor Of
Santa Anna, and pure fepnblicahism, has not been
suppressed, reported and that on the contrary,
this cOnagraton destined 10 extend over the face

Santa Anna. In letter TO a person in New York
Gen AimOnte expresses his indignation at the brutal
arrest Of his secretary, whom as he says, he sent TO
Mexico for the purpose of consulting with his gov

left for New Albany on Wednesday morning Pre-
vious to departure flag was presented which had
been prepared. for that purpose by few patriotic
ladies' boarders at brakes Hotel Mrs. Bolton made
the presentation address, which responded to by
Capt. Drake. John H. Bradley, Esq, then made a
very eloquent and appropriate farewell address, which
was followed by few remarks by Gov. Whitcomb
A large crowd gathered TO witness the departure Of
the volunteers, and the exhibition of feeling the
part Of their friends, male and female, was very
affecting.

Omen the Doors,

A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce just
ly observes that the country has right to demand
that the debate in the Senate the Oregon PROPOSE
tOn of the British government, shah be With open
doors. He says further that Democratic Senator
will propose it, and hopes the wings will resist it,
We hope so TO, ,baSe secret sessions are entirely
counter to the spirit OF oa~znz1asions, and-shOuld
only be resorted to very extraordinary occasions.
We4should like very much to see The evil reformed,
both in Congress and in the State Legislatures.

IL " Is it fact that Gov. Wbitcomb is secretly
advising the democrats not to volunteer for the Next
can war, on the ground that they will have battle
to fight at home next August of more Importance,
than all the battles on the Rio Grande"
We find the above question in the Tippecanoe
Journal of the 1lth inst. When the Editor first
this rumor floating out in his direction, he seems 10
have suspected that It hardly of the right quality.
Instead therefore of directly stating it as fact,
(Which if not true, might subject him to be called
by rather ugly name,) he thought, it seems, that he
could do nearly as well by insnuating it by way Of
asking question sery favorite mode of the Ma
ior's. Why Major! you might have been sure that
if the Old Juntos organ here didn't publish It, l. could
not be true. That paper will publish any thing, true
or false of Coy. Whitcomb, provided it can only be
vanished up into the appearance of truth. The
grosser aseboods that cannot bear the light they send
out by idle loang political peders. The above April
fool article, (Which must have been carefully wrap
ped up, or any man not cut for the simples would
have discovered its quality) found its way,
into your path through some such channel. and al
though you might have been preadmonshed by least
two of your senses of its quality yet in your anxiety
to pocket little political capital you dsregarded all
caution, and now look at your hands. Faugh!
This reminds US of dialogue we overheard be-
tween two boys.
PETE. Sam, did you steal mothers sugar.
SAM No. Has she lost any! -
PETE Not as knows on only thought I'd ak
you.
SAM. Then Pete l see you have been thinking
about stealing it yourself.
Gov. Whitcomb must whisper very loud to secretly
advise all the democrats in the State not to volunteer
The difference is, that the wing leaders openly at the
corners of Streets advised their rank and le to hold
back. Ask them about Terre Haute. Fortunately
there were many noble hearted young wings who loved
their country better than their party

DEATH OF Col. - The Mexican Diariq. -

Ii that the Col mel in the habit of visiting
the laborers' hut, where he paid very significant
attentions to the latters wife, The latter found it
necessary, adds the Diario to throw the Colonel

him sink to the bottom. The Mexican then crossed
the river with his wife, and took the watch arms.

Tfe Oregon boundary.

On the subject of the offer recently made by the
British Minister, and the result likely occur, the
Louisville Democrat has the following sensible re-
marks.
''Since the PASSAGE of the notice claim to the
whole of Oregon is practically obsolete The coun-
try is soemny aommitted, after discussion to
compromise By tie action of both Houses of Congress.
No eter Interrogation can be put upon the preamble
and resolution giving the notice. Il was offer to
compromise with Great Britain, deliberately made.
The terms of the division of the territory
ed in the official act but they well understood
from the opinions given during the discussion. Ac-
cordng to correspondent, these terms virtually
offered. Our government woufd -staHd m very
favorable position before the world, if the offer was
not now accepted We believe that Great Britain OBJ
tans by this treaty what she has title to- and
believe that our representatives, in Congress misrepre
scented the sentiment of this country when they offer
ed compromise but certnin it is they would misre-
present it, fafier they had given implied pledge of
settlement they should not nos redeem it. However
important claims be Oregon north of forty-nine,
they are but drop in the bucket when compared
with character tor sincerity and good faith in
foreign relations Wehope every ffty-four forty
in the Senate will TO raty the treaty. We take Il
rgraufed that the President will submit the offer of
England to the coordinate branch of the treaty-mak

try, the individual views of Senator'S, not
the question. The point is, what is this government
bound by its acts to do 1t is obvious all that
the bargain Is already made substantially We have
virtually told England that we do insist upon the
whole; we have declared willingness 10 divide.
and invited her to negotiation with the highest
assurance of compromising spirit on our part. If
her advances were repealed by claim to the
