A brief ,elcgraphic despatch on Wednesday
night informed us that the He!kimer Convention
(of disorganizing Democrats had repudiated The
Syracuse Convention, and "by a decisive voe
re.afirmed the Wilmot Proyiso." This is what
we had been led TO expect-in indeed. we had look
ed for an unanimous support oil The nox;ous Poo
vi.o. From the report the gratifying Tact APP
pears, that even a, Herkimer a respectable mint-
ri,y of the Democrats resisted en- endorsement, OF
The odious measure.
The "agony" has come at last! a portion oil
the Democratic party OF New York have ieoeiied
openly against the regular action OF The party,
and on one question have seeded from Inc great
national Democratic party OF the Union. Upon
their heads be the responsibility oil the defeat OF
The Democracy OF New York next weekl BY
s,ubbornly Insisting upon that "firebrand of dis
cord" the Wilmot Proviso, they have cut them'
selves off from the sympathy and The union 1.-THE
Southern Democracy, and have virtually taken
sides with the Wing party. We call upon The De-
rnocrals OF the North, who are againstlhe prostra-
ton of The constitutional rights Of the South, 10
Stand their ground firmly, and all will yet come
right. Even the painful scenes now being en-
acled in New York, proving, as they do, that
there is a strong anti-Proviso party in the
North, give strong reason TO believe, ,ha, he

do on the Missouri Compromise, wis form a

There is much force in The following eloquent
passage Of Gov. A. v. Browns message 10 the
Tennessee Legislature; wherein be maintains
that the Union is in no danger from any new ac-
cession Of territory. The spirit Of our people, the
elasticity OF our beautiful federative system, for

be seen, fully endorses the views OF Mr.. Buch.

There is a difference of opinion on this point
but, whatever lime may prove 10 be true, the.

"Tne pretext that any new accession OF Terri

News FROM MExIco.-The news from Mexi-
co which we publish to-day, is important. 1t
is now no longer doubtful that Gen. SCOTS
march upon the capital will be disputed with
no uncomfortable observation-disclosures Mexi-
cans. 1t is supposed that he will be resisted, in
force, at three several points between Puebia
and Mexico.
Santa Anna has succeeded in getting to the
windward of his enemies. He has collected a
force, formidable at least in numbers and, it is
said, contriyed to have himself made Dictator
upon the condition that he will refuse to make
peace. Those generals and dignitaries who
were opposed TO him, or were suspected of luke
warmness in his cause, have been imprisoned
or sent to distant provinces in exile. His
swayit would seem, is established upon as firm
a basis as the power 10 get rid of his enemies
without restraint can furnish.
All accounts agree in stating that the utmost
activity prevails in the different armories and
foundries in Mexico-that cannon are being
cast with rapidity-that shells, round shot and
other missiles are turned out in abundance and
that men are collecting in large bodies to fill
up the rank and file of the army. The people,
tits said, have been aroused and Santa Anna
employs the intervals between the composition
OF high-sounding proclamations in the more
soldier-like and serious business of preparing
substantial defences of the seat ofgovemment
As a means of keeping in power, despite the
foreboding complexion of such returns of the
votes Of the States as have been received, Con-
gress, no doubt through his procurement, have
passed. law TO the effect that their successors
shall meet on the LIST of January next, and the
votesf President shall be counted on the 18th
Of that month. Whatever may be said of Santa
Annals conduct in battle, he has certainly a
wonderful knack of raising armies and reco YER
ing from apparently hopeless reverses.
The complaints in the army of the hardness
in receiving reinforcements and necessary trans
portation are universal. Had these needful
supplies of men and means been forwarded
with becoming despatch, it is conceded on all
hands that Gen. Scott would ere this have taken
possession Of the Mexican capital without
meeting serious resistance. Now il is doubtful
when he will again make forward movement.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS -LErHEoN-The
following is highly graphic description Of
ampuiaiion of the leg, after The adminisira-

on two occasions, in the hospital of San

'We had the pleasure Of enjoying an in
vita,ion 10 be present on the occasio Of the
amputation oftwo legs above the knee, on
Saturday last, where that great assistant in
surgical cases, the lethe6n) was used The
subjects were two men who had been con-
vcyed 10 the Hospital at San Francisco, and
the success was triumph over physical pain.
DR.. Barton administered the letheon, and DIR.
Porter and young physician (whose name
we are sorry we do not recolleci) were the
operators. In one case the limb was remov-
ed in FIVE minutes and half from the com.
mencemeut OF the inhalation to the close OF
the amputation. Both declared they had
felt nothing during the operation. One oil
them rather playfully observed, on recover
ing consciousness, and perceiving that it was
done, SHAT is the way you do it, is ii?"-
This is surely wonderful agent, and may
be regarded as The most invaluable discov-
cry IN relieving suffering humanity, that has

The 10th inst was the day appointed to ad-
vance from Puebla, but such were the prepare
tons of the enemy to receive him that he was
compelled to delay his march until reinforce
ments arrived.
The guerrillas, too, are becoming holder in
their attacks upon bodies of men moving along
the road. Indications of obstinate resistance
are rife from every quarter, nor can any presage
of peace be drawn from any source unless there

CAPTAIN WALKER AND THE GUERRILLA
RoBBERs.-lt seems that his famous par
tisan officer is the only one now on The high
road from Vera Cruz TO the city Of Mexico,
who has thorough knowledge of the man
ner in!which the guerrillas carry on their war
fare, and the best manner Of meeting aud
counteracting them. Ii will be fecOlected
that he was but few hours in Vera Cruz,
from the States, when his command was put
in requsition 10 chase the murderers Of the
poor sick soldiers al Santa Fe. He found
some of them. whom he snmnarily executed
We are happy to note that his conduct has
met with the appreciation Of the Command
erin chief.
On Sunday last, we were shown a letter
from an officer Of the army Of some dislinc-
ton, dated at Puebla, in which he stated
that the course pursued by Captain Walker
has been rightly approved Of by the Com
handing General. Ii will be recollected
that Capt. Walker, recently in carrying his
company up to headquarters, lead an expedi
ton against some Mexican villages known
as the haunis of Temperatures, captured and
shot several of them. The letter states that
Gen. Scott says he desires to conciiate all
who are peaceably disposed, but that The
cut lhroais shall be dealt with in different
manner. We rejoice TO hear this, and trust
the noble old chief will deal with all such in
the most summary way possible, giving them
time only TO say their ordciOns.
