to the eternal disgrace Of the whole country.
While We give great and deserved credit to Mr.
Perry, Mayor Of Albany, for his sxertions in this
behalf, the public must not forget that the Mayor
of Buffalo, as well as the Common Council of that
city, are likewise deserving Of the thanks Of the
community for their efforts in the same cause. The
Common Council Of Buffalo put the ball in motion,
and its impetus accelerated by Mayor Perry,
who has shown himself enemy of the injustice
We have often complained of. In another part Of
this days paper the public will find the rates of fare
decided upon by the Commissioners, from which it
will be perceived that emigrants can be forwarded
by the Erie Railroad to Buffalo, and to the West
generally, at rate less, by half, than the usual
charges by the Erie Canal, under the old system.

We have already adverted to the important charac-

respects it can hardly fail to attract the attention
Of and to wake up, our drowsy government az

The more that any observing mind will reflect upon
the very signi6can; import of these late Mexican
advices, the more conclusive will be the inevitable
conclusion of speedy and radical changes in the
policy and government of Mexico

States, the dependent condition of Mexico upon
England was sufficiently evident. The conductas

be designed to "hurry up the cakes" aud nothing
else. Is it not likely, or at least more plau-
sible presumption that the real object of the British
agents in Mexico is to precipitate revolution, and

more flexible 70 their purposes, and more friendly
to the schemes, intrigues and influences Of England
in Mexico, and the adjoining republics, than to the
institutions and expanding influences of the United
States. President Arista, after having lived ne
considerable time in this country, is said to enter
tain high respect for our government and people;
and the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la
Palma where he commanded the Mexican forces,
are saii to have confirmed him in his respect for
the Yankees. At all events, he appears to be a
man of enlarged and liberal views, and rather dis
posed to secure the goodwill AMI hearty friendship

there were only common sense, honesty, and enter

Appearances, however, are sadly against him.
The suspension or suppression Of the Garay
grant Of the Tehuantepec route, betrays not
only a want Of sympathy in his policy, but a
strong repugnance to any commercial advantages
to citizens of the United States. And We doubt
not that British influence is at the bottom Of it all
Nor do we doubt tina. the revolutions in Chiapas,
Osjsca, and Tobssco, in favor Of the return Of
Santa Anna to the dictatorship, are aided and
abetted, if not fomented, by British agents. And
from the whole bearir of all the testimony, taking
the various facts Of the late intelligence evidence
in the case-irom the past and from the present
face Of things-we are quite prepared to hear by
the next arrival from M50co, or within the rea-
sonable time Of two or three months, that Santa

We see no chance for Mexico, until she ia par
