PEACE PEACE We are Informed that
our contemporaries of La Patria have late
news from the city of Mexico, to the effect
that articles of peace had been signed by
Mr.. Trist and the Mexican commissioners.
The Picayune publishes letter of Aug.
20, the latest date from the city of Mexico,
written by an English commercial house,
which says, 1.-THE opinion ofthe better class

II AS mere military skill and success appear
to be considered by portion of the wing press
and party as establishing claim to the Presidency
how is the matter to be settled between Scott and
Taylor? The former has certainly manifested as
much skill, and attained as great success, as the
latter, and we fail to perceive wherein the former
should not stand at least equally with the latter in
the bestowal of wing iavors. We know of but one
way in which the difficulty can be settled. 1t is
very plain and simple way, and taking the wing
rule of estimating the merits of men, ought TO be
considered proper and satisfactory way. Let the
number of the enemy who have fallen before these
two leaders be carefully respectively estimated and
the one in whose favor the numbers preponderate
he is the man beyond question. Thewhigs cannot
object to this. If the reason for which they design
ed to run Taylor is good for any thing it demands
that they shall take Scott, provided he is found to
excel Taylor in this respect.

IL A writer in the Democratic Review, critici-
sing Daviss revelations, sums up its purpose thus
$40 furnish a solution of the old and
fundamental problem of the origin of things,
and to apply this solution to the interests OF
Fourier's theory of Association"
The writer makes little mistake, not in reality,
butin terms, yet one which may prejudice the minds
of many, as mere words have great weight with
some Instead of Fouriers theory of ASSOCIATION
he should have said simply dissertations and let Us
admit that it is the whole aim and design OF tins
work to further this end. And when we admit It
can there be a higher mission, and would it dcro
gate from divine revelation even, to acknowledge
this to be the purpose What is the condition o.
the world now One OF Misery. What is its great
test object and the highest purpose Of existence
Happiness Admitting these two positions, let u
in few words see what ould be the effect oil aso-
citation in contributing to this high result
What is the cause of the misery prevailing! $50
lation and antagonist interests, and antagonist rea-
tons in every department OF lie.
Does it need an argument to prove that this con
dition of things does not exist of necessity that
men may SO arrange or place themselves towards
each other as that what would be the interest OF
would be the interest of all And il tbs condition
of things were attained, does it need argument to
prove that comparative happiness would be the re
suit?
There Is an abundance OF every thing in the
il tf,4r, b4,n,f
should want food clothing or shelter or that a sin
gle human being should lack educ3tioa But a
great share Of the worlds population is without an
adequate supply Of any OF these essentials, because
the balance have monopoIized vastly more ot each
and all than they want, or know what 10 do with.
1t is condition of things which has grown out Of
antagonstic relations-a perversion OF that faculty
of the mind which was designed as all faculties are
for good ends alone. Association will cure all this.
According to our way Of thinking Davis lays down
the true ground Of commencement and traces the
thing very clearly to its results and we consider il
entirely imnatcrial whether the truths he expresses
were conceived in normal or abnormal condition,
good man of the olden time came upon the earth
and preached peace and good will to all mankind.
The world has attained an age and the human mind
an elevation, enabling il to see and comprehend the
means to attain this great result Clearly we must
have common ends, common interests, before II can
be done Association is the germ which will give
the fruit The world cnnot at once be resolved
into great brotherhood. 1t can only be done gra-
dualIy An association of a few on the right Prin-
ciple. will form nucleus, which will eventually
embrace the world The means are worthy OF a
special and divine eaton, whether this reNelation
be of that character or not

IL The Milwaukee Sentinel says it learns from
Madison that an extra session of the Legislature
will soon be called by the Governor for the purpose
of making provision for calling another Convention
This, we have no doubt will be in accordance with
the wishes of the people.
Per coutrd--the Wisconsin says 1--WE are inform
ed that there is some doubt whether there will bt
an extra session. it is said that the Governor doe:
not feel certain that he has the power under the
Constitutions to convene the ne,c legislature He has
undoubtedly the power to convene the last ngsla
ture, bat the people naturally desire the action O
their last elected Representatives We supposec
that the Governor had long since determined this
matter in his own mind, and think the
Wisconsin must be mistaken |; the power OF the
Executive, under the act of organization, is SC
very clear in the one case, and so doubtful IN the
other we hardly think the matter would have es
capped the attention Of his Excellcncy to this late
hour and that he would have deferred acting on the
subject until after the election of new members
when the question arises whether in fact the last
legislature has any existence now that new one
has been chosen. 1t is very certain that both can
not be in existence at the same time. The act OF
organization provides that members of the Council
shall be elected for term OF two years and members
Of the house for term of one year. The point to
be determined is when this term commences, whe-
Their at the time of the election or at the time OF
the annual meeting of the Assembly. Ii the first,
then, OF course, there no " last Legislature to
be called together; and fthe second no new one :
to be convened. The question, we are of opinion,
might easily be settled
The regular session of the Legislature is not un-
til January next and should the Governor conclude
that he is without the power to call special ses
sion before mat time, it will be a source of great
disappointment TO our people.

RAvAGEs OF THE yellow FEVER IN
New ORLEANs.-The Yellow Fever is ra-
cling furiousy at New Orleans, one hun
bred diving daily! On the 3D., there were
81 deaths in New Orleans, and 20 in La
layctte. SO great is the mortality, that
some of the printing offices find 1t lmpossl-
bic to issue daily papers, in consequence
of the want of hands. The Commercial
Times, Bulletin, Bee, and Courier, are to
be published only tr-weekly, till the ep-
demic abate For the week ending the 9th
inst, the deaths amounted to $40. The
old residents do not escape; but among those
OF foreign birth it is most destructive, cs-
peciaIly the German and Irish. The New
Orleans National says:
"Our weather is very changeable, which
serves to augment the ravages of the cpl
demic The morning dawns with cool and
delightful southern breczes; rs the sun APP
proaches the meridian, the heat becomes
excessive; clouds gather above us, the wind
changes to the northwest, and cold show
ers drcnch our streets, which are soon fol.
lowed by sun warmer than in the fore
noon; and then the night, with It's damp and
chilly airs. Such has been the aspect oil
our weather. With like climate, we can
rot expect, though we may hope. falling
off in the number and yirulence of epidem-
zeal cases. Such has been August.
''September has just set in. It's month
| which has, hitherto, during the prevalence
Of disease, been particularly fatal. At its
advent, already more than the general av-
erage of deaths have been recorded. L
would cheer many heart to see its last IA

that mantle of white which is the prestige o.
