BY recent intelligence from Mexico, we learn
that the revolution, of which the celebrated Paroles
and the notorious Father Jarauta the origina-
,ors has been suppressed with but little loss OF
life, as is usual in Mexican revolutions. and that
internal peace prevails in that country at present
Very few of our readers, we are confident will
regret the manner in which that graceless scamp,
Jarauta, was punished when he was captured by
the government forces under General Bustamente
great villain has In his case been removed from
the world and it is singular fact, that although
clergyman as he was. or at least had BEEN even in
Catholic Mexico, his death by execution gave
universal satisfaction.
AS much from the recent war with that country
as from her connguIy 10 our own territory, the
Mexican republic will be always regarded with
interest by the people and press of the United
States. We got into war with her, as much
through the over-weenlng vanity and folly of her
statesmen and generals, any thing else. We
soundly thrathed her, aud have got paid for tn
expense which her drubbing cost us. The opinion
and preiudlces of her leading men have been
changed by the results of the contest and here
after, if thatcountry will but settle down and be-
have itself the relations between it and the United
States will he of a more intimate and friendly
the revolution has been efiectually suppressed we
hope that Mexican statesmen will devote all their
energy to the resuscltatlon of their country From
internal dlscord, they are, according to present
appearances safe; and there is at the head of
the government who can, we think Justly lay claim
TO be more honest and patriotic than any that
has ruled the destinies of that country since the
first subverslon of the government. Herrera has
l. 10 ,ha fal1. of
Mexico engaging IN war with this powerful
republic, and sought to avert 1t, knowing that it
could end in nothing but misfortune to his coun-
Try. His peace counsels, however, did not pre-
vail and for entertaining them, and showing
desire to prevent hostities, he was rudely hurled
from the Presidential chair. The result of that
war has shown TO the Mexican people the wisdom
of his opinions; and now, after the termination
of hosulitles, we find him again in power
With such man, Mexico may yet hold up her
lad among the nations, and cut more respecta-
bic figure IN the world than she has done since
her independence of Spain was achieved With
the annual payment of five millions of dollars
from the United States, and with the revenues
of Mexico, Herrera can strengthen his position,
and, perhaps, lay the foundation of permanent
and stable government, for years to come, in that
country There can be no doubt that If this be
accomplished, foreign enterprise and foreign ca
pita will make its way there, the rich mineral
and agricultural resources of the soil will be de-
veloped, and where now there is nothing but stag
nation, the busy hum of industry will be heaid
and the people will be improved.
Such, we would fain have Mexico, and few
years Of such prosperity would flow from good
and permanent government in that country, would
make il one OF the most favored in the world.
With our experience of 1t, however, and the la
menta BILE spectacle which she has presented for a
number of years past, serious doubts and mis- |
givrgs may well be entertained whether she |
viii ever rise above her present level. tits GER

The more the Likelihood of It's being swallowed |
