LATEST FROM MExIco.-The U. s. steamer

port yesterday morning at an early hour. from
Tampico. having left that city late on the after
noon of the LIST inst. She brings over Mr.. McRee,
bearer of dispatches to our government, with
whom we had the pleasure of short conversation.
but as bis dispatches were principally sealed and
we could not obtain Mexican paper from the
vessel we could gain very little information fur
ther than we have already published. We learn,
however, that the dispatches brought refer to the
Treaty and to the removal of our army from Next
CO. and that notifications have been exchanged be
tween the U. ). Commissioners and the Mexican
Government. Mr.. McRee remained in our city
but two or three hours and left on TIE steamboat

Oo-Speaking of the Baltimore Convention
and its nominees, the New York Herald, an
able neutral paper, holds the following Ian
guage with regard to Gen. Cass -
"Gen. Cass, as politician and statesman,
is at least equal to any of his compatriots a
mong the democracy, or even among the wings.
In private life he is uncoInmonly plain, unob-
trusive, friendly, kind in his behavior and
general demeanor There are few great men
at Washington who are more unpretending or
more gentle or kind in their manner, towards
all classes, than Cen'l Cass: and we may add
also, his family. Some persons are astonished
at the influence which caused the convention
to make this nomination. We attribute the
result partly TO the invariably kind and unaf-
lec'ed character of his public and private de.
meano! throughout his whole life, in the
Wes'' IN the East, at Washington, every place
Where ne mas occupied important POSITIONS"

But the sealed eyes Of sinful men
Were all too blind TO read.

And kings no more shall blind,
Nor the bigots crush with craven fear,
The forward march Of mind
The words Of truth and fieedom's rays
Arc from my pinions hurled,
And soon the sun Of better days
Shall rise upon the world.

That which is most within me--could wreak

Bear know, feel, and yet breathe-into one word,

In THIS table the total amount Of expenditure is
not the object TO be attended to; for this depends
upon many causes, price Of provisions seasons, &c.
The number Of persons relieved is the test Of the
condition OF the people; and it is grevous to reflect
upon state OF society where more than one-tenth
oi the members are absolutely paupers.
II is much to the credit Of the people OF England
that, under such heavy pressure, thew have re-
NAMED so peaceable. Political reformation, they
say, ls the panacea for their troubles the masses in
England DO not call out for the rights Of labor for
new modelling of society according 10 the plans

such distribution OF fpower amongthe people as may
enable them 10 pass such laws or, at least 10 in1n.
ence their legislators to pass such laws as NAV con-
duce to the good Of the many, instead Of protecting
1he assumed rights Of the privileged few. This
seems reasonable and just desire, and we have
very little doubt OF its gradual ful6lment

ENGLISH, CLASSICAL, MATHE'
NAUTICAL AND MERCANTILE

MHE subscribers beg leave.to inform the citizens
of WAYNE and the adjoining counties, that
they have opened an English, Classical, Mercan-
tile and Mathematical School, in the town Of
Goldsborough.
The Senior instructor, Mr.. JOHN ROBINSON, is
a practical and experienced Teacher, having for
the last ten years stood at the head of his profess
sion i'll Europe, as the many fatterlng testimonials
in his possession will show. William Robinson
fatters himself that he is already favoraby known
in this region, as teacher who has always been
faithful in the discharge of duty, and successful in
mparting instruction and would, therefore, throw
himself upon his old patrons OF Wayne, Lenoir,
and Edgecombe-in which counties he has spent
the last nine years-for a share of that patronage
which they always so cheerfully bestowed upon
him.
Mr.. John Robinson will superintend the Eng
Iish, Mercantile, and Mathematical department.
and give instruction in the Italian and French
ianguages-also in instrumental music, if requir-
ed Vocal music will constitute part OF the daily
exercises of the pupils
Mr.. William Robinson will superintend the
Classical department.
They have built and fitted up new School
Room, and hope that their effort to establish a
School of high literary merit in this rising and
flourishing town, will not be in vain. They COM
mence it on individual enterprise, and under the
most discouraging circumstances, and rely upon
the merits of the Institution alone for support.
The School is now in operation, and those who
wish to avail themselves of its advantages are re-
quested to make no delay in entering, that the
classes may be properly and advantageously Or
ganized.
For further particulars, apply 20 either OF the
subscribers. JOHN ROBlNSON,
