The terrible CONDITION OF YUcA.

the Government Of Yucatan addressed an
appeal to our Government through Mr..
Buchanan Secretary of State, asking for
assistance in behalf of the white inhabi.
aAntS of Yucatan against the Indians

Commission OF YUcATAN IN WASH.
INGroN, April 10, IS4S.
To the Secretary Of Stale ofthe U. S.
SIR: Notwithstanding have not had
the honor to receive any answer to the
very urgent notes which directed to the
Department Of State, on the 7th OF March
last, and on the Sd Of The present month,
new and still more urgent orders from
ny Government Oblige me again to ad.
dress the Government Of theU nitedStates
even at the risk of being considered en-.
deavOring to withdraw the attention Of the
Department from other more important
subjects. Yet the actual situation of w.
eatan ia so overwhelming, SO horrible,
and so desperate, that cannot do other.
wise. Within the next two months the
white race Of Yucatan will disappear from
that country, unless the protection of
these United States should be extended
over that too unfortunate people.
i need not waste time in dra wing the
pitlable and alarming picture which that
country presents, according to the last
advices | have received, dated the 9th of
March, because it would be of an odious
and bloody character. In the sacred name
ofshe living God the affrighted people Of
Yucatan appeal to the humanity OF their
happy and more fortunate neighbors, the
people Of the United States, to save them
from utter determination. Yucatan only
wants arms, ammunition, and a fe " troops,
together with small quantity of money.
l invoke this aid by all those sacred ties
which unite the famil, of man I request
that the demand may be brought to the
knowledge of the representative bodies
ofthe nation, and. above all other things,
| ask that you will have the goodness to
give me decisive answer. by which the
future may he guided. These are mo
men's. sir, in which any delay signifies
death and determination. have the
honor, 60, TEUTO SIERRA.

Rp" FOR CLAY The disagreeabIe truth
is forced upon the minds ofthe leaders of
Illinois whigery that the "oid issues" can.
not be lodged. Their brethren in other
parts ofthe Union seem determined that
shey will give the "embodiment" one
moro chance. The following resolution
was adopted by the whig Legislative eau.
Gus at Albany, on the 18th nst.-Register.
"ReSolUed, That in selecting delegates
TO the national convention, we fee it a
right and duty to express it as our opinion
that HENRY CLAY is the first choice of
the state Of New York, and that they can
give and will give to him or any other
reliable wing who may he nominated by
the convention for the presidency. the
ihirty.six electoral votes of this state"
This looks very much like settlement
of the question as to who will be the nom
inee of the wing convention.
