PRooREss IN MExIco.-In the Monitor Re-
publicano Of the 18th and 10th appears a re-
port of commission, charged with matters
Of colonization and industry, which is re-
markable for the, sentiments of tolleration
which it proposes as one of the means of
resuscitating that country. The report states
that Mexico has not one-tenth of the popu-
alton which it is capable Of sustaining, and
that the policy of the country should be to
Induce emigrants to corae into it.. 1t attrl-
butes the growth of thesUnited States 10 its
wisdom in allowing emigrants of all religi-
GUS denominations TO come into the country
and enjoy equal religious rights The exclu-
sive religion OF Mexico keeps desirable emf
grafton out Of the country. The commiss-
toner's goes on to speak of the importanc Of
railroads, and other facilities for interconlmu-
nication, and of the condition Of the cotton,
woo.en, glass, and paper manufactures
which have been. .establ ished, and deserve
the protection of the government. From the
sentiments contained in this report, it is evi
dentt that there are minds in MEXICO which
are full awake to the causes which interfere
with nations prosperity, and the influence
of such persons upon The minds Of the people
at large, must eventually be productive OF the
oappiest effect. The intercourse which ha:
sprung ur between the Mexicans, and the
AMERICANS will tend..to hasten this result

but, as to the destination Of the eguipages

Interesting from Minnesota.

The St. Paul's (Mineso,a) Chronicle, ann
ounces the return of Governor Ramsey, on

absence in the Eastern States.
He reports Minnesota stock high among the
Eastern people, and the prospects are tater'
ing that we will have large immigration
next season.
The St. Paul papers are. filled with letters
asking information from persons intending
to emigraie, which would seem to corrobor-
ate the statement of Governor Ramsey.

MY rATMER's GROWING OLD.
By z, J. BARBER.

My father is growing old; his eye
+ Looks dimly on the page;
The locks that round his forehead lie,
Are silvered Ger with age
My heart has learned too we'll The tale
Which other lips have told, -
His years and strength begin t, fai.-
"My fathers growing DID,"
They tell me in my youthful years,
He led me by his side,
And strove TO calm my childish fears,
My erring steps 10 guide.
But years, with all their scenes of change,
Above US both have rolled
now must guide HIS faltering steps
my fathers growing DID,"
When evenings rosy glory departs,
E. With voices full OF mirth,
Our household band with Joyous hearts
~ VIII gather round the hearth,
They look upon his trembling form,
His .pallid face behold,
And turn away with chastened tone
My fathers growing DID,"
And when each tuneful voice we raise,
In songs of "long ago."
His voice which mingles in our lava
Is tremulous and low.
|; used to seem clarion tone,
So musical ard bold,
But, weaker, fainter has it grown
MY fAthers growing DID,"
me same fond smile he used 10 wear.
Still wreathes his pale lips now,
But time, with lines of age and care,
Has traced his pallid brow;
But yet, amid the lapse of years,
His heart has not grown cold,
Though voice and footsteps plainly tell
My. fathers growing old"
My father, thou didst strive TO sbare
My joys and calm my fears,
And now, thy child with grateful Cara
In thy declining years,
Shall smooth thy path, ard bfleh,er scene
BY faith and hope uptold;
ana love thee with .. hoiier love,
Siuce thou arsg.owrng old.
