THE CONDITION OF MEXICO

The internal state of Mexico, at this crisis of
her peril, says the Baltimore American, presents
scene OF distraction and dscord which demon
strates, more clearly than any thing else could, the
inherent weakness of the nation. Ell Repu6iicnlo,
journal Of marked ability deplores the evils for
which il can find no remedy. The following pic
ture is graphically drawn:
"Mexicas who at the sight of the enemy ought
to have entertained but deaha of deencepresent to

IOWA ELECTION.

An election is to take place in August next in the
State Of Iowa. for members Of the thirtieth Con-
gress In all the calculations which we have seen,
coming from the Locofoco side of politics, the two
members 10 which this State is entitled have been
set down as likely TO be Locos. That may be bet

The government paper of Saturday last has made
the attempt, more unfortunate than even It's won't to
attach to two charges, one of misquotation and
one of misstatement.
The first of these charges is simply untrue.
Some one has imposed upon the venerable Editor
by doing the very thing he has charged us with as
he will find, on examining the record.
The second charge is founded upon the publica-
ton of the following Note to an article in the Ma
tional Integencer of the 18th instant:
has been publicly averred and contradcted, Gas
far informed that the Of President
Folks inaugural address prescribed to him at the Her
mtage before his departure for Washington, by Gen. Jack
son. whose ruling passion thus displayed itself in the latest
moments of his life
Upon this note, after two weeks cogitation, the
Union" remarks as follows:
Now, as to the inaugural, we feel ourselves
authorized to state that Gen. Jackson had no agen-
cy in framing the address-he made no suggestion
for the purpose-it mo shape prescribed by
him-though he thoroughly approved ii; but it
was wholly prepared by Mr.. Polk" &c.
Concerning this we have two things to remark:
In the first place, admit il to be ingenious and
true, this ostensible denial of Gen. Jackson's die
tation of the terms Of the Presidents Inaugural
contradcts no assertion of ours. Our statement
was, that it had been SO "publicly averred and
not contradctcd." And so it had. We did not
say that we behered the averment. We now say,
however, that we should not have alluded to the
rumor even casually as we did, had we not had
reason to believe il to be true.
In the second place, we say, this apparent de-
NAL, though said to be by authority, is not stronger
than denals which have been sometimes authori-
tatively made in the government paper of things
which have turned out to be true to the letter,
whereof we have within the last week or two pro-
duced several examples. Gen. ]. might have had
no agency in framing the Address, and still less
in " preparing" it. No one could have supposed
that he ,crote the Address, which is what is under
stood by the words " framing and preparing"
or putting it into shape" That Gen. ]. made
no suggestion 10 Mr.. Polk on the subject Of his
inaugural, is not to be believed when the intimacy
of their political and private relations is considered
