Progress OF the Union Movement North and
South-Cheer Signs.

In almost every part Of the country there are the
most gratifying indications of a reaction Of public
opinion on the subject Of the constitution and the
Union, and return Of the people TO reason and
right on the subject Of slavery. This is mainly
owing to the noble stand taken by Messrs Clay
Cass, Webster, and others, and the support which
those distinguished statesmen and patriots received
from the Union press, headed by the Ne,o York
Herald
We always thought that, sooner or later. reason
and patriotism would triumph over fanaticsm and
asnDon; but we are surprised and astonished at
the rapidty and force with which this wholesome re-
action is manifesting ITSELF at the South well as
ut the North. In the former, the movement Is
headed by Georgia, which, at one time, was con-
sidered rather unsound on the subject Of the Union,
and manifests itself in the nomination. by the
Union whig party, Of the Hon Howell Cobb,
Union democrat, for Governor Georgia Is one Of
Me most powerful and prosperous Of the Southern
States, and the influence which il exerts over the
remainder is very great Virginia is Likewise
sound, and % i Tennessee, and Kentucky, and
North Carolina In fact, there is no serious talk Of
disunion in any Southern State but South Carroll
ma, Mississippi, or Alabama; and even there, We
are induced to think, change 10 public opinion on
national matters il taking place
We witness the same gratifying spectacle in the
North and West New Hampshire has, within
day two, elected Y MON democrat to the Gubcr.
material chair. Pennsylvania Is rapidly coming
cut right; Connecticut Is sound the Northwest is
sosnd and the only free States whose escutcheoas
remain furnished are Ohio, New York, YER
mont, and Massachusetts, the people Of which owe
IL TO themselves-to the Union-to the constitution
to posterity-and to the reputation of their
country abroad, TO follow the example Of New
Hampshire at one extreme Of the Union, and
Georgia and Louisiana near the other.
II Is somewhat curious that this reaction In pub
Die opinion, on the slavery question, which we nov
witness with so much pleasure, was commenced,
and is being followed M, in the Southern states,
by the old leaders Of the whig party; and in the
North by the great body Of the old democracy,
who are Union men to the This shows that.
irrespective ofparty considerations there Is, at both
the North and the South, abiding love Of the
Union, which we hope viii be eternal Another
blow in the free states, while the iron Is bot, will
demolish what remains Of Sewardsm, Van Buren,

erats, move at once, in one solid phalanx. Come,

THREATENED REVOLUTION IN MExIco.-Tele-
graphic reports have intmated that evidences Of a
project for revolutionizing Mexico are now on foot
That something unusual is going on in Mexico, we
do not doubt. Our Paris correspondent announces
the purchase, by Mexican officers, Of large num-
Der Of muskets in one Of the towns Of France, and
we know of several movements by Mexican citizens
in this city, which confirm our suspicions that an
enterprise Of one kind or another il foot. Within
the last three months, unusually large number
ofMexican gentlemen have visited the North, and
have been engaged in making contracts Of various
descriptions. Some Of these have been represented
a. connected merely with peaceful measures but it
is impossible to say to what uses such merely com
mereial enterprises eventually may be directed.
Every breeze from Mexico brings rumor Of vari-
Gus kinds, which may end in something more than
smoke.
It cannot be concealed that the acquisition of the
mining region Of Mexico is now fayorite theme
with many persons in the Southern and Western
States-that many Mexicans are in favor Of coming
within the jurisdiction Of the United States, and
that our population in California desire to extend
their golden pursuits into those regions which have
been so specifically explored, and which may yet
yield large metallic treasures. On the WHOLE view
ing the state Of Mexico and all the interests which
are concentrating together to bring IL under the
regimen Of reason, enterprise, and industry,
quite prepared to anticipate a revolution Of some
kind. II may be a bloody one, il may be a
moral and commercial and political one, in which
the people will form tremendous majority for
nexation to the United States or it may he a re-
volution rolling both ways at once, bloody way
and boodless the other The tree is in the seed at
present. BY and by, it may be without a
microscope Meanwhile, we must keep n sharp
Locke out on the march Of events, and see how the
Mexicans will bear their third year Of drought and
famine. Should the crops this year fail, nothing
can stay the great revolution which is now in en-
bryo.
