doubtedy the most pleasing feature Of the news to
a majority of our readers is the announcement by

the Vice President elect, reached Washington last
evening in his usual health and viii take his seat
at the head Of the Senate to day This puts to rest
the vague rumor Of that gentlensn's death, which
MAS circulated throughout The country On the day
previous to the meeting Of the electoral colleges Of
the different States. Whether this story was fabri
Gated for the malicious purpose Of leading the cleo

rebellion. In Tamaulipas the revolutionists had
captured Victoria, the capital Of the State, and

Acapulco to blockade the port OF Mazatlan, had

will set Up government for itself Under any cir.

to hold together a great while-even though Santa
Anna be recalled. he is cunning intrguant, but
past experience has established the fact tina. he is
utterly incompetent to rule successfully.
