CHARACTER OF THE PEoPLE.-The Mex
leans, as a people, rank decidedly low in
the scale of humanity. They are deficient
in moral as well as physical organization;
by the latter do no. mean to assert that
they are wanting in corporal qualities, al
though certainly inferior TO most races in
bodily strength but there is deficiency
in that respect which is invariably found at
tendant upon low state of moral or intel
lectual organization. They are treacherous,
cunning, indo!ent, and without energy, and
cowardIy by nature. Inherent, instructive
cowardice is rarely me. with in any race of
men, yet affirm that in this instance it GER
lainly exists, and is most conspicuous; they
possess, at the same time, that amount Of

ADVENTURES IN MEXICO AND THE
ROCKY MOUNTAINS"


This is an entertaining journal of travel,
undertaken n Mexico few months before
the occupation of the country by the Anne
ricans |. comprises descriptions Of Vera
Cruz, Pueba, JaIapa, the Mexican capital.
and the other places which recent events
have made comparatively familiar to the
readers of newspapers, as well as Of those
more remote portions Of the Republic which
none but determined traveller could ven
ture to explore. The author is lively and
amusing, and, as he appears to have been
perpetuslly on the move, and traversed some
thousands of miles in the course of his pc
regrlnatlons, he had much TO see, and was
enabled tn form correct estimate Of the
manners and customs Of the people, and of
the general condition of The country, which
seems to be, in all respects, as vile as can
we'll be imagined Mexican roads swarm
with robbers, and these, and parties of row.
ing Indians, render travelling in the country
any thing but safe; the pages Of the volume
before Us chronicle more than one adven-
ture with them, and narrow escapes from
their hands. The following are extracts :
Home Journal
SANTA ANNA.-Don Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna is ha!e-looking man, between
fifty and sixty, with an Old Baily counle
nance and very well-buill wooden leg
His counlenance completely betrays his
character; Indeed, never saw a physiog-
: nomy in which the evil passions, which he
notoriouslv possesses, were more strongly
marked. Oily duplicity, treachery, avarice,
and sensuality are depicted in every feature,
and his welI-known character bears out the
truth of the impress his vices have stamped
upon his face. 10 person he is graceful, and
not devoid of a certain well-bred bearing,
which wins for him golden opinions from
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1848-02-17

Hollow HoRN.-There is trite, but ne
verlheless true saying, that preven,ionis bet
ter than cure, and therefore, we anticipate
the occurrence Of this disease among our
patrons cattle, by stating, that it may be pre-
vented, by pouring tea-spoonful Of spirits
of ,urpen,ine in the cup or depression on
the back of the head, jus, behind the horns,
once in every two or three weeke between
this and the last of March, This is a SIM
pie and inexpensive preventive, and if tried,
as it should be, will prove an effective reme-

THE THRIVING FAMILY.

I'm L fiNllLI.
BY MRS. L. H. sIGoURNEY.
Our father lives in Washington,
And has a world of cares,
But gives his children each farm,
Enough for them and theirs
Full thirty well grown sons has he,
A numerous race indeed,
Married and settled, all dye see.
With boys and girls to feed.
And we wisely till our lands,
We're sure to earn our living,
And have penny, too, to spare,
For spending or for giving.
A thriving family are we,
No lordIing need deride US,
For we know how 20 use our hands.
And in our wits we pride US.
Hail, brothers, hail
Let noueht on earth divide US.
Some of US dure the sharp northeast,
Some, clover fields are moving;
And others tend the cotton plants,
That keep the looms a-going.
Some build and steer the white-winged Ships
And few in speed can mate them,
While others rear the corn and wheat,
Or grind the -four to freight them.
And if our neighbors DER the sea
Have e'er an empty larder,
To send loaf their babes to cheer,
Wen fork little harder.
No old nobility have we, ....
No tyrant king to ride US;
Our sages in the Capitol
Enact the laws that guide US.
Hail, brothers, hail
Let nought on earth divide US,
Some faults we have-we can't deny,
A foible here and there;
But other households have the same,
And so we'll not despair.
twill do no good to fume or frown,
And call hard names, you see,
And 'twere burning shame to part
So fine family.
IT'S but a waste of time to fret,
Since nature made us one,
For every quarrel cuts thread
That beautiful love has spun.
So draw the cords of union fast,
Whatever may betlde US,
And closer cling through every blast,
For many storm has tried US.
Hail, brothers, hail
Let nought on earth divide us.
