the supersttious, on the death of cat from a
broken heart. The cat, it appears, had a litter

The National Assembly was still engaged on
the revision OF the constitution, numerous amend
ments being proposed and ebated most OF them
rejected. One was adopted, placing the military
force assigned for the protection of the Assembly
under the control of its president.
The Assembly adopted an amendment provi-
ding that neither the Vice President nor any
relatives OF the President, down to the sixth de-
gree, should be eligible to the Presidency with
IN the tour years following the cessation of his
powers. Several other articles including the
47th, which required the President to take the
oath OF allegiance to the democratic, one and in.
dlVisible Republic, were adopted without discus
sion.
Finally, the revision being completed, the
constitution was put to the vote and adopted, 739

sures for great national solemnization OF the
event.

that the best result might be expected.
An important meeting of the club of the Rue

forward any special candidate, but would allow
the members to vote as they chose. This resoIu.

MIR. VAN BURElS.

The nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, is re-
ceived with the most opposite expressions of
opinion.
The Washington Union is particularly Sc
we're upon him. 1t says:
ale comes forward at this agitated time,
not only to take part in a paltry squables a.
bout the regularity of a party convention,
and the binding force of lis action; but when
the most exciting Of all subjects has set the
political elements in commotion, he steps
forward, not to pour oil upon its troubled
waters but to excite their rage not to appeal
to the love of the Union-not to rouse the
generous catholic feelings of his countrymen
not TO initiate the spirit of Washington, and
to confirm his warning voice against all sec.
tional interests and geographical parties but
to build up, on the most dangerous platform
which has ever been laid, the most mischie-
vous of all parties in a confederacy of States
a northern free territory party, against the
slave-holding southern party.
The Charleston Mercury is even more Bit
ter; 1t announced the Utica Convention as
follows -
1t is said, too, that MIR. Van Buren, has ac-
cepted the nomination. The "Norihern man
with Southern principles!' John Quincy
Adams over again. From the ashes of the
old hater of the South has sprung successor,
armed with the same cause of resentment.
and ready to wreak it with the same intens-
ty of spite.
Meantime the N. Y Evening Post publishes
the following letter, written by Gen. jackson
just before his death:
HERMITAGE, June "a, 1874.
81 cannot hope TO be alive and witness the
acclamation with which the people of the
United States will call Mr.. Van Buren, to the
presidency, at the expiration of Mr. Folks
term but you will, and know you will re.
joice at it, as the consummaton of an act OF
Justice due alike to him and to the honor and
fame of the country. am thus consoed fol
what would otherwise appear a capriciou,

always done, on the experimenting care ot
the Almighty in all that concerns our beloved
country.

longer stating his inability to accept it. He
says:

sented in the Baltimore Convention; the vote

the citizens of that State, that nomination i'm

EROM MEXICO,

By the New Orleans papers of the 2lst and
22d, we have later and interesting intelligence
from Mexico, brought by the mail-steamships
Trent and Maria Burt. The dates are from
the city of Mexico to the 18th, and from Vera
Cruz to the 18th.
Gen. Worth and his division, the last of
the army left the city of Mexico on 18th, af-
ter exchanging saluies, which were fired by
both parties, before the American flag was
taken down, and after the Mexican flag was
hoisted.
Gen. Butler and Mr.. Sewer had left the
capital for Vera Cruz. Gen. Patterson and
the Pennsylvania troops left Encero on the
i4th for Vera Cruz.
Gen. Buffers order, pardoning all persons
under sentence of death, and prisoners in con-
finement, is published. 1t is accompanied
by letter to the President of the Philanthro.
pic Society of Mexico, who applied for the
pardon. He says
II will be seen fIom those orders that
have extended a free and full pardon to all
Mexican prisoners, including those of the
company of San Patricio, and to all Amer-
cans whom our own purposes of discipline do
not absolutely require to be retained for a
time in confinement. The prisoners sentsn.
ced for murder and robbery, in whose behalf
is made your appeal of May "a, will be lib

ted this country. Their offence was of the

case, have been unwilling to desecrate the

Nh EDITOR AS the time is approaching
for the selection of good persons TO fill the
various offices at the coming election, for the
county of Northumberland. Myself and
neirhbors have come to the conclusion TO Of
fer the name of HENRY J. READER, as an
individual they think most worthy to discharge
the important duties belonging TO the Office
of Sheriff We therefore recommend to the
consideration of the Democratic Electors of
Northumberland County, HENRY J. READER
of Delaware township, for that office. He
understands the GERMAN well, and is a staunch
Democrat, and is well qualified for the Office
And in accordance with the usages of the
democratic party, the other side of the river
is entitled to the Sheriff. 1t has heretofore
been customary that this office particular be
given to the different sides of the river, al
ternately. We do hope that this rule will
in future be adhered to. We in this section
of the County, understanding the justness of
the claims of the other side of the liver, are
fully determined to go in heart and hand for
the nomination of HENRY J. READER, as
an act of Justice TO the Forks. Henry J. Rea-
der is well known as an honest and intelli-
gent German and is just such man as we
uoght to have in the office of Sheriff.
