The LATEST HUMBUG. Our readers may have
statement copied by the National Intelligen-
Ger, from New Orleans paper, to the effect that
government in some way directly or indi-
rectly concerned in movement alleged to be going
on in some of the northern States of Mexico, with
the view to the establishment of republic there
under the of the Republic of Sierra Madre and
that General Shields was the latest dates, in San
Luis Potosi, giving direction aid in the business
The whole statement is sheer fabrication, and
utterly destitute of truth and plausbty. We have
just concluded treaty of peace, amty, and bounda-
ry with Mexico, which is now part of the supreme
law of the land, and which such WILL in all its pro-
visions, be religiously observed in good faith by our
government
AS to General Shields-who has served his coun-
try galantly and nobly in the field, but who, in
whig eyes, labors under the crime of being sound
and staunch democrat-we happy to learn that,
instead of being, having been, since the conclu-
sion of the peace with Mexico at San Luis Potosi,
any other place in that country, he is now and
has been for weeks, in the State of Illinois, making
eloquent speeches in favor of Cass and Butler and
thus in politics at home fighting ably and manfuly
in the good cause of his country, which he up
held so well on Mexican battle-felds. .g.la
Aud so explodes the whole of very silly whig
fabrication, got up the stump in order to manu-
facture political capital out of nothing It only
worthy to take its place among the most barefaced
and ridiculous of the sRoorbacks" of 1874. We
must really condoe with the National Intelligeneer
in the sudden loss of theme, out of which it has
woven only two three very indifferent humbug
articles But let it not despair, 1t has only to task
it's ingenuity to supply it with another mares nest
equally AimsY and equally ridiculous. Wash. Union.

II is understood that Gen. Pillow has expressed
much disappointment at the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. He based his hopes on receiv-
ing that high honor the friendship of Mr.. Polk.
and his own signal military achievements! But
his democratic friends proved ungratefuI and would
not even recommend him TO the party for the second
office in the gift ofthe people. Alas, the Leonidas
Letter" was manufactured to little purpose, and
the improvement in the art of ditching introduced
by the scientific officer have not been appreciated
by the party. We fear that hereafter the brave
General will be known by the not inappropriate
soubriquet of 'the SOFT Pillow ."-BaR Patriot.
