Late from Mexico.


By the arrival yesterday of the schooner Boni
ia from Vera Cruz, we have received papers from
the city of Mexico to the lst inst, being more
than month later than previous.
The question of the election still remains unde-
cided So far Arista is ahead, and his chances
are much the best though it is almost certain that
he has not obtained an absolute majority Of all the
votes In Mexico at Presidential election the
vote is given by States each State casting one
vote The elections in the Federal District, which
occasioned good deal of excitement resulted in
favor of Arista So far he has carried the State
of Mexico the Federal District, (which votes as
State,) Queretaro Vera Cruz, San Luis de Pc
tosi, Guanaiuato, Oajaca, Coahuila, Tamaulpas,
and probably Sinaloa, Sonora, and Chlapas. fu-
catan, Guerrero and Zacatacas went for Almonte
DURANGO and Nueva Leon for Rosa-Michoacan
for Pedraza, and Puebla for Augica. Chihuahua
held no election, because the Legislature forgot
that one was to come off, and adjourned without
attending to the business A good many asplr-
ants were disappointed in consequence The
Trait d Union says that Arista will certainly be
the next President.
When the result of the election in the District
was known number OF electors called On Arlsta
and made an address to him, as follows:
"Fatigued as we are by the sad condition to
which the Republic is now reduced, and by the
false promises which nave continually been made
TO US. we have directed our eyes toward you as the
only citizen from whom we can expect safety tor
our country. Confding in the good faith OF the
Federalists, who have proposed you as cand
date. we have believed as they told u.s. that you
would engage to sustain che independence, the Ia
teerty, the liberty and the progress of the Repub
lie On the strength of this promise we have
given You our vote. We doubt not that you will
ratify and fulfill our expectations.
Arista replied;
~ appeal to facts in testimony of the loyalty of
nv principles Since | have had any share or in
n1ence in the present Administration, the States
have been protected in their liberty, and the fed
eral laws have been religiously observed. Ny con-
victicn is that the Government succeeding to the
one W bich now exists, cannot do otherwise than
continue in the same path prescribed by our lnstl-
tutions If my fellowcitzens elevate me to the
position of President of the Republic, affirm that
/ will sustain, even at the price of my blood, the
popular federal representative system sincerely
thank the electors of the District who have by
their vote given me so brilliant proof OF their
confidence. go
After this formal declaration, the electors felic
tated the, probably, successful candidate and dis
persed with cries of Long live the Federation
Long live Gen. Arista."
