Another candidate for The presidency we per-
ceive IS Mechor Ocampo. He is now, we be-
iieVe, Governor OF The State OF Michoacan. He
IS friend OF The President Substitute Anaya, and
strenuous advocate Of the war. We find long
leller in The papers advocating his views. He
calls upon The people to join The guerrillas, to
abandon their large cities and carry their proper

10 make peace with the enemy, he will fight, he
says, against the inhabitants OF that State as well
as The foreign foe. Such is his aversion 10 peace

The Minister, il would seem TO have been found
among some intercepted papers. The Repub!i-
cane treats the document with little ceremony, and
Without attempting 10 reply 10 its reasonings, de-
nonnces II as impairment and disrespectiul. The
government has conceived The suspicion that the
document was concocied by some Mexican act
ing IN conjunction with Scott, and 1.-THE Jury Of
The nation and The severity OF The laws" are held

peclalions of The Government or the liberal edi-
tors Some bishoprcs are highly commended
for their liberality, while others are as strongly
condemned as nisgardly in their appropriations.
