1t will be perceived that New Mexico
mnst not look to the United States Govern
ment for the means to resist the usurpation
Of her old enemy.
Mr. Skinner expresses it as his belief,
founded upon an intimate knowledge OF
the Mexican population of New Mexico,
that armed resistance will be made, if nec-
essary, to any attempt at the extension
over their Territory, of Texan law, and
that many American residents, who Justly
regard the attempt Of Texas as an assump-
ton of power, will be found openly oppos-
ed, and to any extent, in resisting an au-
thoritv which they cannot recognize.

SLOAN'S MEDICINE

Sloan's Ointment and Horse Powders, lately
introduced into this neighborhood, are already
becoming decidedly popular as speedy and Of
feetive curatifes.
The Ointment has been applied in several ca
ses of cutaneous eruptions, liberated sores
sprains, bruises, &c, with the most satisfactory
results.
From the high terms in which we have heard
them spoken Of by those of our friends who have
used both the powders and the ointment, we are
satisfied they deserved the high reputation they
have acquired in different parts of the country,
where they have been extensively used. See ad-

The WBEAT CROP IN OHIo.-A Mans
field paper Of the 9th ult., says:
We have conversed with number o
farmers from different parts Of this County,
and they all agree in saying that the wi1ea
crop, although very backward, seldom, il
ever, bid fairer for good crop at this sen.
son of the year, than it does now. 1t stands
so even on the ground that one would
scarcely think, judging from appearance,
that it had passed through winter at all.
Wheat has been very uncertain crop for
several years. and although it looks SO fine
now, 1t may yet be lost, but we hope for
the best. The farmers have met with so
many losses in wheat raising that they
very mnch need good wheat crop, and |
am very gladto see that thier prospect for
good crop is so cheering in this County
