Mexico.

Adyices from the city of Mexico
to the 9th ultimo have been re-
ceived.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate for the abolition of the Gov
eminent monopoly Of tobacco, after
the first Of September next, substi-
tuting therefore an annual tax upon
the article.
No appointment has been made of
"a Minister of Finance, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation
of Senior EsTEyA. The fiscal affairs
of the country are III so emba rrassed
a state that it appears difficult to OBJ
tain competent person who is will
ling to accept the situation.
A census of the City and State of
Mexico is now in the course Of COM
pilation, The Government has is
sued circular requiring those ia
king it to report the number of for
eigners residing in their respective
wards, with indications'of the nation
atty of these foreigners, their char
acter, occupations, &c. The circular
not stating the object for which this
census has been ordered, considerable
alarm was created by its appearance
amongthe foreignresidents Of Mexico
Another conspiracy against the
Government had been discovered IN
Yucatan. Some condemned chm-
inals, aided by soldiers of the 10th
regiment, had united and determined
to murder the authorities and s. ct
fire to the capital. A sergeant and
several soldiers had been found gull
ty, aud condemned to die.
A proposition ih the Senate to
forbid the further immigration OF for
eigners on the isthmus during the
discussion Of the Tehuantepec treaty
was negatived by d vote Of 40 to Al.
The Ayuntamiehto of the city OF
Mexico has adopted resolution,
asking the General Government to
suppress bull fights within the city
and State.
The accounts Of Indian murders
in the Northern States Of the Ke-
public are rs fearful as ever.

The Democratic Party.

The Hartford Times calls to mind
the fact that the Democracy were
once abused by the Wings because
they opposed a National Bank. We
have Wing national administration
now, but we hear of no advocates for
a bank.
The Democratic party we're unre-
lentingly abused for advocating the
Independent Treasury Bill. Mr.. Fill
more S administration does not pro
pose substitute, nor do Wings op-
pose the measure.
The Democratic party have been
abused for opposing high tariff
Mr.. Fillmore now admits that o high
tariff would be fatal to the manu-
featuring interests.
The Democrats we're abused fol-
standing firmly by the country in
sustaining the Mexican war. The
Wings took up one of the leading
men in the prosecution Of that war,
and. with the aid of Democratic votes,
elected him President.
The Democrats have been abused
for securing important additions to
our territory. There is not wing
in the land who now dares to propose
the surrender OF this same territory
Here are a few facts that prove the
general policy of the Democrats to
be right and just.

Movements in South Carolina.

Oar. readers are aware that, i4
many Of the districts and counties
OF South Carolina anl Alabama, what
are called State Rights Associa-
tons have been formed.
In South Carolina these @Associa-
tions" have appointed delegates to
meet in Convention in the city of
Charleston, which they did on the 9Th
inst.
To spare ourselves the labor Of
setting out the objectsof this Conyen-
ton, and determination to do them
full justice, We have concluded the
reader viii be fully posted up in this
matter by reading the subjoined res
olutions and remarks upon the char
acter Of the address, both of which
were prepared and submitted to the
Convention on the second dayof their
meeting, BY the select committee Of
81.
These resolutions are intended to
express the sentiments Of the Con-
fyention. And the address (which
our space will not permit us to pub
lish) declares the doctrine of seces-
sion and the determination of South
Carolina to adopt it as remedy
deplores the necessity for its exercise
but still is willing to await ''the
assembling of a Southern Congress,
Ito devise measures of redress and
Erelief, upon which some of the in
tiured States may unite. The adj
dress concludes with: eve have come
to the deliberate conclusion, that if
lit be our fate to be left alone in the
struggle, alone we must vindicate our
liberty by secession .
/. Resozred, That in the opinion
of this meeting the State of~South
/ Carolina cane not submit to the
wrongs and aggressions which have
been perpetrated by the Federal gov
ernment and the Northern States,
without dishonor and ruin; and that
it is necessary to relieve herself
therefrom, whether with or without
the cooperation Of other Southern
States.
/ .. Reso7rcd, That the concert Of
action with one or more of our sister
States of the South, whether through
| tn E proposed Sout hern Congress, OF
in any other man er, is an object
worth many sacrifices, but not the
sacrifice involved il submission, y
3. Resolred, That We hold the
rights of Secession to be essential to
the sovereignty and freedom of the
States of this Confederacy; and that
the denial of that right would fur
: nish to an injured State the strong
est additional cause for its exercise
4. Resolped, That this meeting,
looks with confidence and hope toI
the Convention of the People, to ex-
ert the sovereign power of the State
in defence of its rights, at the ear
lest practicable period and in the
most eflectual manner; and to the
Legislature, to adopt the most spec
ldy and eflectual measures towards
the same end. H
These resolutions and the address
we're made the order of the day for
The third days proceedings when
they were adopted.

A Sign il the Times.

The louisville Democrat, copying
q recent article from the New York
Herald, in reference to the present
aspect Of the affairs Of Mr.. Fillmore S
administration, gives the following
comments upon the IIerald's state
ments:
He gives out that there is trouble
in the camp; that Webster is Insecure
in his berth, and must soon give way
for some one more flexible on the
compromise. The equalizing Of the
Seward men was a bold measure, and
not little hazardous for Fillmore
He hesitates, and shows symptoms OF
faltering, contrary to the advice Of
the great expounder Of constitutions.
Webster must, therefore, soon give.
or take a notice of leaving Ben
nett, Of the Herald, is the Barnum of
the newspaper press-with more tact
and talent than half a dozen Of his
contemporaries. He is always upon a
hobby, which he rides while it carries,
and then abandons it and mounts an
other, with scarce q word Of sympa-
thy for the past services of his cast
off steed. Bennett saw the rising
fortunes Of General Taylor, pitched
in, and played the demagogue for the
hero Of Buena Vista equal to any
partisan editor in the Union. He
saw, however that Taylor's cabinet
would not answer, and was the first
to run it down. There is no better
judge of what will do in politics, and
of what won't pay. He has never
mounted the old black pony, and
hence we infer that he thinks it short
winded, Notwithstanding its exploits
Oh the turf Of New York and some
other States. There is something in
Benefits Judgment on this subject.
He is smarter than half q dozen
Fillmores or Websters, and ne are
not sure he couldn't beat Seward in q
long heat. We give his surmise
about what's to happen at Washing
ton; and have no doubt there is some
thing in them. Poor Fillmore is
bound to break down even lower than
he is. There is not virtue and con-
sistency of, purpose in his party to
sustai him. His political opponents
will have to sustain him and the poll
icy upon which he has staked
his fortunes, but if he throws himself
into the arms of Seward and the
higher law faction, he need not ex-
pect mercy He ought to have sa-
gacity enough to see that he has
gone too far to get back; that he has
committed the objectionable sin with
the freesoilers, and that he will only
ruin himself, and forfeit the respect
of all parties by changing front now.
To dismiss Webster will be to de-
moralizc the cabinet, to cashier the
Lieutenant General, whose reputation
holds thousands to their allegiance.
We have no business to give advice;
bnt at present Webster is wanted to
make a respectableshow. Still, there
is no guessing what Fillmore will do.
He is a timid man, and no doubt
feels bad when be reflects on the awk-
wardness of the act of turning a
man out of Office who is only practi-
cling what he himself taught to obtain
the power he now holds. It's a mon
strous task; no wonder he finches.
It's that or ruin to him now, however,
so he had as well make up his mind
to ii.
