Later from Mex,ee.

BY the arrival last evening of the sehooner
faustina from Vera Cruz. we have received our
full files of papers from the city of Mexico to
| the Sd inst.
| For some days good deal of excitement was
| caused in the city of Mexico, by reports that
party of Americans had landed on the Isthmus
OF Iehuantepec, and taken forcible possession of
all that section of country. One of the papers,
the Sinceridad, reported that there had been a
hight, and that fifty men had been killed on each
side. Another rumor had it that the number of
Americans was 1000 and upwards. These re-
ports originated in the landing of the gold hun
ter at Ventosn, and the difficulties consequent
thereon, an account of all which we have already
given in letters from the Isthmus. The cores
pondence of the Trait d'Union says that the
Americans were treated in the most shameful
manner by the Mexican authorities
Some persons say that by the terms Of the
concession to Garay, the Americans had right
to land at Ventosa, and that although the SEN
ate has annulled that grant, its decision il not
defnifive, and that the question thus becomes a
national one. On this subject the Trait d'Unon
remarks:
I've will not now trent the subject in this
point of view; but we will cav, that If the An.
thorities Of Tehuantepec have. acted As they
ought, those of Oaiaca have proceeded with great
want OF tact and courtesy This 10 the result of
the evil course, which for some time has been
pursued by portion Of the Mexican press In
stead OF cultivating the friendship of the United
States, neighborinp Republic, whose evident in,
terest Is to remain on terms of amty with Mex
leo, the press Of which we speak, on the con- I
trary, endeavors to spread injurious reports of

They seek to cherish among the Mexican peo-
pie a hatred which, perhaps, may one day be

founder, aAd RosxsslEHRE the 1T exponent--A
PHILOSOPHY that teaches that sin Il but the con-
sequence Of suffering, and crime the creature OF
socisty, which IL alone responsible for it. Let
any man, whose brain has not been bewildered
by these new revelations, read the speculatlons
OF the Tibune on these riots-a passage only OF
which We copy--and he will cease to marvel at
the excuses Of the ignorant and deluded vota-
ries, while witnessing such proofs Of frenzy, or
of folly, on the part of the bigh-priests and
preachers of this new Eyaugel of universal
equality-which they term :" The Cancellation Of
freedom and ordsr!' a" freedom" that would
make San Domingo of the South: an "order'
founded on rape robbery, and murder.
Thus speaks the Tribune
For our part, while we admit the full extent
OF the evil, zoe cannot regard Il as other than IN
cidsntal 10 purely transitional social condition.
In America, the great problem which thinkers
elsewhere speculate upon, the Cancellation OF
freedom and order, is receiving gradually and
progressively practical solution, and that on
the ground that the two may not merely be har-
monized, but are essentially identical. Prepare
toIy W IL, as ny the hanu Oh TFoVuoncc, t'c re-
straints, such as respect for mere authority, gu
perstitious obedience to tradition, regard to cas-
ses and persons, which do so much, and indeed,
often do all to keep the social machine in equi-
librum in older countries, have here been re.
moved. Our democratic experiment has, of ne
cessty, dispensed with them, and as we advance
in career their absence is felt in this irregu-
lar and violent action of elements in our popu.
lation for which the requisite culture and sphere
Of useful activity have not yet been provided.
1t is certainly conceivable that these wild ener-
gies, which now so often rage with brutality
commensurate with their native force, should in
another and better state of things be absorbed
and employed for their own and the universal
good.
The editors of the Tribune have evidently
been studying the speeches of Anarchists
COotz, and his brother Anarchists in the
French convention, for its jargon is precisely
similar to that used by those friends of man
whose motto was, +" fraternity or Death" -" BE
my brother, or / toiN kill you."

H Commenting on the recent elections, the
Boston Journal "a Compromise Wing paper,)
says:
"The Wings have good reason to rejoice owe,
the result of the election in the vacant districts
Two staunch and reliable Wings have beer
elected to Congress, giving as the majority OF
the Massachusetts delegation, and securing the
vote'of Massachusetts for the Wing candidate
in case the next Presidential election is thrown
into the House of Representatives"
The same print also adds:
at is significant fact that pure, unadulte
rated Free soilism finds but little favor in Mas
sachusetts. OF the whole State delegation O,
ten members, but one, Mr.. Allen, was elected
purely as Free-soiler."
AS the Abolitonists elected by the coalitions
we have exposed are not to be regarded as "pure'
Free-soilers, we suppose we are to consider
them az impure ones. but their votes count the
same way nevertheless.
OF the two "staunch and reliable Wings cleo.
ted" the New York Tribune thus vouches for
one ofthem, while UPHAM the other was charged
with being Free-soer, and the charge not
uttileu Ny HIS lTlenuS
The Tribune says:
ain the seventh district we were startled by
the report that Henry w. Bishop (Loco) had n
plurality over Col. John Z. Goodrich (Free.soi
Whig) This seemed impossible, but in these
days one is ready to believe in anything in the
way of political treachery and blindness Sub
sequent and perfectly reliable accounts, how
ever, put the right face on the matter. Col.
Goodrich is elected by not far from 400 maiori-
ty. We congratulate him and the true-hearted
Massachusetts, Wings who have worked zeal
ousy to secure his election"
TheIDemocrntic vote polled against RASrouL,
in the second district was six hundred and eigh
ty-eigbt out Of over fourteen thousand voters.

R The Mobile Herald and Tribune, speak
ing of the insolent threats of the Northern con-
solidationists, who have been embodened by
the "acquiescence" Of their Southern allies
says:
"Many Of the papers at the North seem to
think that the federal authorities will put down
practical secession at the point of the bayonet--
under the strange belief that State stands re-
lated to the government as Mobile or Choctaw W
county does to the State Of Alabama Their
ideas Of the nature of the system seem to be AZ
much in the dark as those Of some continental
papers Of Europe"

" Stealing Thunder"

We find the following in the Boston Post. The
passage italiciscd contains the gist of the CON-
plant made by the Abolitionists against the Free
soilers in the first place, and by the Free-soilers
against the Compromises in the second, and
pics rersa. Will those veracious organs that
used to pirate so much about "coalitions :" ex-
plain this curious squabble over the "thun-
der" between GARRISON and SEWARD in the
first place, between WEBSTER and WILMoT in
the second. Can it be that the difference is one
of men not of measures?
New ENGLAND ANTI-SLAvERY CONVENTION
The Garrisonian Abolitionsts from the several
New England States, and some from New York,
organized their annual convention in Boylston
Hall yesterday, Edmund Quincy presiding The
usual series Of resolutions were reported, the
only new matters therein relating to the refusal
Of the mayor and aldermen to allow the use Of
Faneui Hall to the Abolitionists in the first in
stance, and to the friends of DIR. Webster in
the second, and the delivering up of Sims. In
the speeches there ,oas much complaint that the
Free sellers had stolen the thunder of thea BOLTON
isis, and pere making base and selfish use Of it,
There was also much argumel ton upon the
question, whether the anti-savery sentiment in
Boston equalled in purity and intensity that of
the country In the evening, the convention
met in Cochituate Hall, the admission to which
was by ticket at IS cents. The old speakers
held forth during the day and evening, namely,
Garrison. Wendell Phillips, G. w. f. Mellen,
Parker Pillsbury, S. S. Foster, Daniel Foster,
William II. Burleigh, and Edwin Thompson.

it is therefore, the most shallow hypocrisy
to seek to shift the odium and the RESPONSE

No such organized bands of rufiians exist in

Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Boston riots, have
ever stained the records of Southern cities No
where within the bounds of saveholding terri

brief statement we subon from New York
letter to the Baltimore Sun
II is a disgraceful fact that but single man
OF the rowdies that commenced the affair Is in

passions being aroused by the unprovoked as-
sault upon the pic mic party, chased the rowdies
rather farther than was necessary.
The originators of the riot were actually per-
mitted to assist the officers in making arrests,
and il is said that most Of the females they en-
countered were robbed of all the valuables about
their persons"
Yet in the face of facts 40 strongly stated
in its own columns, the Tribune has the

Of course we shall be accused of Section

But who is the Sectionalist and the Clopist Is

grand national parties at the North may attempt
this imposture, but the South at length has an
organ, and if they expect to impose their
schemes any longer on the South, they must
rely on degree of ignorance, folly, infatuation
imbecility, and weakness in the Southern peo-

Africans in slavery, but would qualify them for
becoming the slaves of the North, and justify
the North for treating them as slaves.

THE ADVOCACY OF TRUTH-The advocates
Of any cause that rests upon truth as basis,
can afford to be dignifed. We are always inclin-
ed to the belief that there exists, with those
who stood to personalities and vulgar slang in
defending or advancing their pet theories, a
restless and annoying doubt as to the truth Of
what they so confidently affirm The man
who loves a truth for his own sake--which
means, for the good that truth, when reduced
to practice, will do to his fellow men--never
gets angry when his doctrines are opposed or
denied. He is too wellt aware that nothing is
received as truth except when the mind is in a
free and rational state and that to insult an
opponent, is to close up, for the time, the ayen-
ues of reason. But the man who promuIgates
new doctrine Of medicine, philosophy, Or
some other theory in the reception Of which he
has personal or pecuniary interest, very nat
urally grows impatient at everything that real
ly or seemingly oppose for all such opposi-
ton touches his self-love--and the activity Of
self.love so blinds him as to destroy his percep-
ton Of what, in common juctice and decency,
is due to others.
The instances of Incorporate and abusive
advocacy and defence of favorite schemes by
editors and writers for the press, that every
now and then attract our attention, have sug-
gested these thoughts and we jot them down
for the benefit of those whom they may con-
cern.

The ART OF FLY1NG.-A French Journal
has letter from Madrid, giving an account OF
successful experiment with new apparatus
for flying. The flyer was Miss Juanita Pc
rez, who, though rather fat and corpulent,
moved through the air by the help Of wings,
with great ease and rapidity. She was adyer-
tised to fly distance Of above 1900 feet, RI
sing in the air above 600, but exceeded the
programme both in height and distance. No
description of the structure of the wings is
piven. They have spread offifteen feet, are
fastened by ligaments of great fexibiity, and
arranged SO as to move with great rapidity;
they make noise like windmill. The as
tonishment Of Madrid at so novel phenome-
M. is described as immense A MI. Thomas
Daryille, at Paris, also announces that he has
invented complete apparatus for flying, and
he proposes to exhibit it at the Champ de
Mars il the course Of the present month, when
he win fly from the Military School to Challiott.
He will be accompanied by his two sons, one
&c TWENTY-FIVE and the other Of seventeen
years. The preparation Of three sets Of wings
has DELAYED the exhibition until now. The
inventor has tried his apparatus privately, with
complete success, having flown across the
Seine with it at o'clock in the morning. His
wings have spread Of Is feet, and by their
help the fiyer can move up and down IN the
air with all the facility of a swallow, skim
ming along near the ground or mounting up
right to the sky at his pleasure. ~ Z 1r,-
