NExICAH POLITICAL sPEcULATIoNs.


NEXICAH POLITICAL SPECULATION9
Our readats will naturally feel an interest
in the political gossip at Queretaro. In the
Noiicioso we find letter from that city da-
ted the 2d OF November. After detailing
the orgahiza:lnn Of Congress, seyenty-two
deputies being present, the letter proceeds
as follows:
The candidaturc Of Gen. Almonte has
completely fallen through. Ii would APP
pear that the PuroS became convinced tina;
this general would encounter the ami
mostly of all parties. and they have cast
about for another who could give them bet
ter guarantees Of victory. But according to
the report Of those who are familiar with
the secret history Of events, il is the S1nfan-
istas who have destroyed the hopes OF the
interchangeable candidate.
AImonte does not conceal his hatred foY
Santa Anna. from which it 10 inferred that
under his administration the hero Santa
Anna would be theoretically restrained
Since the understanding was entered into
between the Santanistas and the puros-
based upon the compromise that Santa
Anna shall not be subjected to a trial and
be re.nstated in his military command-;he
SAntanIstas Deputies viii yoie for Cum
plido.
The Jfodcra7os have finally determined
10 vote for Pena y Pena, which has greatly
weakened tina; party. With Pedrazo. with
Ocampo, with any man more decided for
the war. and who had ever labored for the
fedcraIist party, his success would be Ger
tain.
With this candidate, grea: part Of the
Moderados themselves are dissatisfied. and
we shall have CumpIido for President
His policy wil be RnjonionasaAtanista. E"
lis election is 50 certain that RECON has
offered 10 bet hundred doubloons to ten
dollars Of it.
Senior Farias has arrived. being deputised
by Zscatecas, and has presented himself in
the Congress thich removed him from the
Vice Presidency.
This letter may be key to the late move
mcn;s Of Santa Anna in addressing the
Mexican Congress and the President, as
mentioned IN another column. We know
not how much reliance TO place in the letter
We have translated, but it seems to rs well
reasoned and IN consonancc with Santa
Annals character
We find IN several Mexican papers very
violent attacks on Paradcs, all imputing to
him monarchiaI designs. The Arco IRIS
gives a report that he had already declared
for the plan Of lguala, which the reader will
recollect was m0narchia.
We find one vote taken in the Mexican
Congress on the 4lh inst. 1t was upon a
proposition brought forward by Puro, to
the effect that the Ministers should present
themselves to the Congress to render an ac- .
count Of what measures they had taken for /,
the war. Il was voted down by fifty odd
voices against twenty-five, among The latter /
being GoAen Fagas, Rejop, Pacheco, and
the two Romeros. No attempt to elect
President had been made on the 4th, but
the chances were still considered in favor oil

II The thought has occurred to rs, in reading
the views OF the Wisconsin Argus in defence of the
collection laws why, if these laws are rendered ne
cessary by considerations connected with public
justice and security the same As laws in respect 10
criminal offences, they should not in all cases be
enforced. II man steals your horse or your parse
it is not left 70 yolr indy option 10 say vheh-
er the law shall he enforced against him or not.

and prosecuted at public expense, Certainly il a
refusal, neglect inability to pay deb, inyol, cs
the same principle respect 20 puLlc interests as
what IS denomnael a criminal offence does, 1t
should be governed by the same rule, and subject
to similar penalties Our friends Of the Argus, it
seems 10 us, should to be consistent, advocate the
passage laws recognizing the crnlin4lity fdebts
