The nomination of this distinguished statesman for the

whole Mexican party in the United States for find
that those papers (he editors of which have been the
.'apoossts OF Mexico" in the with that counry)
have become almost perfectly rabd since the nomination
was made This is manifested in nearly every federal

Cass displayed degree of courage and daring that would
have done honor TO older officer, and which, had his
commanding general possessed would have reflected honor

country and to the world as industrious and valuable

cessftl in prosecuting their business. They appear
TO be well educated, and manifested in the brief
interview. more than ordinary knowledge Of the
engrossing topics of conversation. They represent
their country to be in prosperous condition, and
appeared highly pleased with their change Of resi-
dence and life. We have also been informed by
several merchants with whom they have regular
dealings, that these men are exceedingly well versed
in the transaction of business affairs, and have
good acquaintance with the quality and value of the
various fabrics and articles in their line of business
