The New Orleans Patra asserts post
vely that the plan OF separating from
Mexico the States this side of the Sierra
Madre, and setting np an independent
Republic, Is still prosecuted with great
zeal. Some 3, 600 men. according to this
paper, are to esl blish tho mSclves along the
Southern boundary of Texas, procure arms
nd ammunition, and, wien the right
time arrives, cross the Rio Grande and
r Use the new standard. The Patra is Of

EGen Tavlor has recently done one
good thing, Ifhe never did b, fore and never
does another. He has removed Robert

dcSpotl' tendencies not cxcellcd and scar
cclv equalled by Nicholas of Russia.
There has not been a recent liberal move
ment ~ Europe that the whole power of
his pen has not been levelcd against, on
the side Of the oppressor against the op-
pressed. We have no objection that
Robert Walsh shaIlEivc in Paris ard com
muncate Just such despoiic notions as he

we. and a large majority of all parties
will be glad that he Is not TO do it any
more at the expense Of the American
kovcrment.-SOuthPori Telegraph.

probably the best that could have been
