II A gentleman from Boston, lectured,
Thursday evening last, at the North School
House, in this city, to select audience. His
lecture, we understand, was on various sub
jects-among them were the Human Mind,
Temperance, the inconsistencies of Temperance
men, sc , all of which were handled in a very
mastery manner. The audience went away
highly pleased.

elf there be one principle which deserves
to be more deeply rooted than another in the
mind Of every American, it is that we should

The supporters of the Administration pro-
fess to be the disciples of Jefferson; but let
them if they can, show how their practice
corresponds with the above principle laid
down by the great father of Democracy
They call men Federalsts who utter such SEN
timents now, and they would call Jefferson a
Federalist, should he return to earth and
preach the same doctrines that he advanced
fifty years ago. Truly, Democracy is progress

FROM MEXICO.

The latest arrival at New Orleans brings dates
from Vera Cruz to the 26th ultimo, and from the
city of Mexico TO the 22d.
The most important information relates TO the
insurrectionary movements of Gen. PAREpEs and
his partisans, who, on the 18th June, took posses
sion Of the city Of Guanajualo with some 400 men.
The garrison went over TO Paredes, after show of
resistance. The State Congress of Guanajuato was
Immediately dissolved, and the lawful Governor
displaced.
The motives Of Paredes are explained in plan
promulgated by Jarauta, his principal accomplice.
In this manifesto the present Government of Mexico
is denounced for selling more than half the territory
Of the Government to the United States, and is ac-
cused of the vilest treachery and baseness. The
people are invited to take up arms against the Gov
ernment.
As soon as intelligence was received Of the cap
ture of Guanajuato, the Government took prompt
measures to quel the insurgent troops. Generals
Minon, Bustamente, Yanez, and the Legion of ST.
Patrick were dispatched against the rebels. The
number of Government troops in the field amount
ed to about 1900 men, and there is every reason to
believe that ere this the revolt has been suppressed.
A band Of American robbers who had infested the
road between Mexico and Jalapa were attacked
some days ago by large party of Mexican sol
diers. Eleven were killed and sixteen taken and
Immediately shot. OF those who escaped, ten
were captured by our troops at Perote, and SEN
fenced to be fogged, branded, and taken out of the
country in irons.
Tampico was evacuated on the 9th ultmo by
the American troops, and most Of the men left pre-
vious TO that date.

The HEART" IS SouSD.-Our correspondence
from Worcester, Massachusetts, the scene of the
late Convention, is of the most cheering kind. A
new daily Wing paper is to be started there within
week, and the [" Taylor stock" is above par. as
was to be expected from the demonstration on We'd
nesday last. The sound Wings Of Worcester are
not prepared to give up all their cherished prnci.
pies to support the one idea of the Liberty party
We learn that a Taylor Club was formed on the
morning following the late onvention--numbering
in its ranks the most distinguished and influential
citizens Of the town and that at no time since the
nominations of TAYLOR and FrLLaoRn has better
feeling prevailed there than now. A meeting Of the
Wings Of Worcester is soon TO be held, at which
Ex-Governor LINCOLN will reply TO the address Of
Judge ALLEN. A large meeting is expected and
we doubt not that the Wings Of Worcester will turn
out in such numbers as TO convince all opponents Of
Wing principles Of the utter futlity of attempting to
draw of the rank aud file Of the party from the
support of Wing nominations, by any false issue.

A New Fabric.

Among the intelligence brought by
the last steamer, is the following accoun,
of new production, which has excited
much interest. "The owner of some
spinning-mills at Berlin has lately
brought into the market q new species
OF haxen thread which is extremely long
and silky, white in color, and spun and
dyed with extraordinary facility. This
preliminary material, which possesses, G.
ven in superior degree, all the quail
ties of silk, is likely to compete with ii
from its simple and rapid fabrication,
and from its price being very low us
compared with that of silk. The APP
pearance of this new article ofcommerce
has caused general sensation among
the dealers at the fair at LEIPZIG, and an
Engishman has offered the inventor
G20O,OO0 for his secret, but this was re.
fused, as the owner intends TO reserve to
himself all the benefits of his discovery.

the part, previously washed clean, a
weak solution of the choloride of lime oil
of soda, oxalc acid, or salts of lemon

by merely using little lemon juice
The part which contained the stain OF
