Mexican Affairs.

The news which we publish this morning from
Mexico is, although not decisive, at least very I'M
portant. 1t will be SEEM by reference 10 our cor
respondence and the extracts which we make from
the Mexican journals that the Congress has at last
commenced its session, with a large majority IN
favor of peace-not more than fifteen, it Is said,
being opposed to it, Yet this small number is de-
termined to adopt every measure, even the most
violent and revolutionary, to prevent the ratfca-
ton of the treaty. and should they adhere to their
determination, they undoubtedly have it IN their
power, at least to prevent any action being taken
upon the subject They all belong to the Puro, or
ultra Democratic party, and are headed by AL
monte and Rejon, two of the ablest men in Mex
ico Not only do they carry with them their own
party, but they will endeavor to unite with por-
ton of the Centralists-the Santanista faction.
And even should the Moderados succeed in obtain
ing ratification of the treaty-Whch is somewhat
doubtful-the standard of revolt will be immedi-
ately raised, and the present government over
thrown. 1t is our deliberate opinion that no ad-
mnistraton which dares to make peace with the
United States, can maintain its position after our
forces are Withdrawn. The Indian population, too,
is ripe for revolt and any party that courts their
assistance must triumph This the Puros may at
tempt; and the result will be- that the present in
surrection of the Indians, which appears to be
general throug bout the Republic, will as in Yucca
tan, be converted into war of determination
against the whites. If our Government is bound,
by whatever cause, to interfere in the affairs of
Yucatan, will it not, for the same reason, in this
case be compelled, a second time, to take armed
occupation of Mexico9

MESSAGE OF PENA PENA.-The Message of
President Pena y Pena, which we received yeser-
day in the American Star, is a document of some
length, yet well deserves perusa 1t is clear, able
and dignifed in its style, and strongly advocates
peace. What effect it will have upon the delibera-
tons of Congress remains to be seen.

column, particularly the part referring to the de-
sign said to be entertained by some Americans Of

YUcATEcos-By letter from Sr. Martinez, de-
putty from Tobasco, published i'll the Queretaro
Debates, we perceive that the legislature of the
State of Tobasco had passed a resolution offering
an asylum to those Yucatecos who were forced BY
the Indians to fly from their homes.

PRESIDENTIAL CHANCEs.-The correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun writes as follows from Wash
ington, May 18th:
The nomination of Mr.. Woodbury. by the New
England States is certain to make the Judge one of
the most prominent candidates at the Baltimore
election His nomination is responded to with cor
duality, in every part of the Union, and has pro-
duced profound satisfaction here in Washington.
have had an opportunity lately of consulting with
several delegates from the Southern and Western
States, now here in anticipation of the Baltimore
Convention, and | can assure you that wherever
MIR. Woodbury. is not the first choice of the people.
they are ready to give him hearty support, should
he be nominated by the Convention Rely on one
fact that is asceraned beyond doubt or cavil, viz:
that Virginia. far as she has any preference, will
give her vote to Levi Woodbury., and next to him
TO George NJ Dallas, although this does not pre-
clude either Cass or Buchanan, for whom Virginia
would go, i nominated
1t has been supposed that Alabama Arkansas,
Louisiana, &C., would give their votes in conven-
ton to Mr. Buchanan; but this is mistake these
States will probably cast their votes at once, for
Len Woodbury..
The strength of Mr. Woodbury. in the West is
equally apparent and it is now pretty clear that the
nomination, if no ''indifcrent candidates" are in
erpolated between this and the 22d of this month,
that the principal struggle will be between Dallas
and Woodbury. in the North; should the South
nominate the candidate, Mr.. Walker will be strong
than any competitor from that quarter, and the
man by birth, parentage and feeling, nearest allied
to the North, and therefore, the man.

%versal, that the influence of slavery upon pro-
ductive energy is like the blight of mildew I;
that it is a moral and social evil that it does
violence to the rights of man, as a thinking,
reasoning, and responsible being. Influenced
by such considerations, this State will OPP
pose the Introduction Of slavery into any ter
ritory which may be acquired as an indem-
nifty for claims upon Mexico"
Resolutions Of FermOnt-January %, 1917.
1.-THE Legislature of Vermont adopted IA

that declaration; accompanied by another
instructing its Senators and Representatives
in Congress to use their best efforts to carry
the resolution into effect"

iAHJ ~ S'iChiu ~ dt ui-
damental article or provision, whereby slave
ry or involuntary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crime, shall be forever excluded
from the territory acquired or annexed"
Resolutions Of Pennsyirania-Feb., s., 1877.
"The Legislature of the State of Penn
sylvania, the next largest in the Union, adopt
ed a resolution requesting their Senators and
Representatives in Congress to vote against

accrue to the Union, unless as part of the
fundamental law upon which any compact or
treaty is based, slavery or involuntary servi-
tude, except for crime, shall be forever pro-
hibited."
Resolutions Of New~ JerSey-Feb. 10, 1917.
"The resolution adopted by the Legisla-
ture of New Jersey, i~nstIucts their Senators
and Representatives in Congress to use their
best efforts to secure, as a fundamental con-
dition to any act Of acquisition of any terrific
ry hereafter to be acquired by the United

ry or involuntary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crime, shall be forever excluded
from the territory to be annexed"

in Congress from this State, be respectfully
requested to urge the passage of measures
for the extinction of slavery in the District of
Columbia, for its exclusion from Oregon and
other territories that now or any time hereaf-
ter may belong to the United States, for all
constitutional measures for the suppression
of the slave trade, and to resist the admission
of any State into the Union while tolerating
slavery"
Resolutions Of The New Hampshire Demo
eraiie Convention.
Resolved, That among the doctrines Of
