Recall OF sea2ta Anna to Mexico.

The Panama Star of the 22a ult., contains the
lowing important article to relation to the recall
of Santa Anna =
We yesterday, for the first time, learned from
gentleman who came passenger on the New
Orleans, which arrived here last Sunday night,
that a revolution had broken out on the Western
Coast of Mexico, having for its object the recall
of Santa Anna, to again take hold of the reins of
Government.
How far into the interior the revolutionary
spirit had spread, was not known at the moment
of our latest advices from Acapulco; but from
previous indications and intelligence from the
Atlantic side, we cannot but suppose it to be
general throughout the country.
1t is well known that General Santa Anna has
been living, since his exile from Mexico, near
Carthagena, on the Atlantic side of this Repub-
lie. A late paper from that city, brings in
formation that intelligence had reached the dis
tinguished Mexican as to the feelings of his
countrymen; and that he ''acouLd sail for Nerico
in a fer days." to assume the new powers con-
ferred upon him.
While awaiting, by California steamer, and
papers from the Atlantic confirmation and fur
ther particulars of this new revolution we may
express our belief that under late and present
circumstances of Mexico, Gen. Santa Anna is
the only living Mexican, of whom we have any
knowledge who is qualified in the least degree,
to be at the head of her affairs And from even
him not great deal of real good is much to be
expected by outsiders.
His recall to his country at this present time,
we think is mainly due to the emergency in
which Mexico finds herself placed in her rela-
tions with the United States, in the Tehuantepec
and other important matters. Santa Anna is
probably the only man who can ward off imme-
date collision between the two nations, short of
an actual and immediate abandonment of the
grounds hitherto occupied by Mexico, and it re-
mains to be seen whether not even he
long defer the ''manifest destiny which awaits
his country.
We hold our breath for further information.

Distressing suicide in Reading.

On Sunday evening last, says the Reading
Gazette, Of Saturday, Coroner Keen was sun.
moned to hold an inquest on the body ofa stran.
ger, about As years of age, named John X Jones
who was found about O'Clock, dead in hi,
chamber at his boarding house. in Seventh stree,
below Bingaman, having committed suicide BY
suspending himself from the bed post with silk
handkerchief. He had come TO this city from
New York, only few weeks ago, and obtained
employment in the Boiler Works of Messrs No
bic & Sons. From the facts ascertained az tie
inquest it appeared that ever since his arrival
here, he had been laboring under great mental
depression, and it is supposed that this led hin
to commit the fatal act A verdict was RENDERED
accordingly. Papers found upon him disclosed
that he was one of the Trustees of the Welsh
Baptist Church of New York and had been fore.
man of the Novelty Works in that city for Pc
riod of nineteen years. His discharge from tha.
situation, without any reason being assigned,
had prcyed seriously upon his mind, and doubt
less occasioned the melancholy mood which
brought on self-destruction. He has a brothC
living at Minersville, and leaves an afflicted wife
in New York. The Coroner telegraphed to tie
clergyman of the Church in whiclR her husband
was officer, who broke the sad news to her,
and she Immediately came on, in company with
a male friend. The body and effects were mean
while taken in charge by the Coroner, to await
their arrival. They reached here on Tuesday
morning, and the same afternoon at 4 o'clock
the body was inferred in the Baptist Cemetery
Of this city.

Mr.. " bSter.

The London Nescs closes its comments upon
the death of Mr.. Webster, and the effect of his
decease upon this country, as follows;
'.It is a characteristic of American institutions
that the removal of this robust and infexible
soul would not even for moment be felt in the
progress of political events His place Will be
flled-mOre or less ably-and things will go on
as if he had never been removed. This is the
consequence Of popular institutions-self gov
ernment-that statesmen are the agents, not the
masters, of popular opinions and wishes, and
that there is always redundant supply of com
petent public servants. Hence steadiness and
consistency in the policy of popular govern
ments. individuals may be tickle and changea-
bic; but masses are ever drearily monotonous in
their aims and efforts As children like to hear
the same tale told over again, so the multitude
like to see their rulers go necessarily through
the same routine. The watchwords of popular
party change slowly. This reflection places in
strong light the fatuous folly of those who
dream they see the resuscitation of the empire
guarantee to France for the surcease of revolu-
tionary changes. By vesting all power in the
hands of an autocrat, the French render their
national policy liable to shift and change with
all Lis freaks and whims. Nay, they render
that order and tranquility for which they yearn
dependent upon the continuation of his life, GER
tain to be interrupted with the interruption of
its frail and precarious tenure. In the Demo
cratic Republic Of America, the survival or ex-
tinction of a master mind like Webster does not
for moment shake the public tranquility
does not perceptbly effect the steady course Ell
ther of domestic or foreign politics. In the
French Empire, now, in progress of Inaugural
ton, the death of even a Louis Napoleon would
restore anarchy Everything would be inter
rupted till the rivals for his inheritance of pow
er had fought it out. This is the inevitable con-
sequence of the people leaving the management
of their affairs to a few, instead of keep
ing it mainly in their own hands. Popular gov
ernments among civilized people are more truly
conservative than despotism or oligarchies.'

A Circular from England.

A number OF Ladies of Great Britain, belong
ing to the aristocracy of that country, have for
warded an address to the women of America, in
which they alude to the evils of slavery, and ex-
press the hope that the American ladies will

pose of ridding the land of so great an evil

County Poor House.

A number of persons have lately spoken to Us
concerning the erection of Poor House, in
this county, desiring to know if such would
lot be the cheapest and best method to support
our county poor. We will examine the subject
and give our views. Such a institution has, We
believe, been a saving and benefit in many
counties where they have been founded, and
would likely exhibit the same result here. When
the building and ground are paid for, the ex-
pense should be nOthing-the revenue, in fact
ought TO exceed the expenses,

Billy BoyyIegs i'm Florida,

The Newark Mercury states that a gentleman
in that city, who has a son in Florida, has re-
ceived a letter from him, dated Fort Meade
Florida, from which we make the following ex-
tract 1t would seem that Billy has very little
disposition to leave Florida:
Billy Bowlegs, Grand Sachem of the Seminoles
in Florida, has returned to Tampa, and taken
passage for Fort Myers His joy on embarking
for Fort Myers knew no bounds. He leaped and
yelled, cursed and swore, like crazy man, and
during his caperings, he tore a new suit of citi-
zen's clothes into thousand ribbons. About
this time, a soldier at Tampa said, ''Now, Billy,
give us the war-whoop." Billy stood as if riv;-
ted to the spot his eyes seemed to send forth
sparks of fire, and drawing himself up to his
full height he exclaimed in a low, yet passion
ate voice, s'By blood aohen you do hear the aoar-
tchoop, your blood acH curdle IN your Ueos % In
reply to question put to him by an officer at
Tampa, "So you are going to leave Florida, are
your" he answered, with very knowing look
ssOh, yes, told them so in Washington, but
id if do it, though ~ If he don't go, and
that very soon, too, Uncle Sam will find a way
to make them leave-either by steamboat or
"by bloodP' They can take their choice.

Dangers of Brandy king.

In the last number of the Irish Quarterly Re
rieC, the weakness of poor Maginn is thus al!u-
ded to -
''Ie now turned for comfort AMI inspira ton
to the foul fend, brandy, which has been the
cause Of misery and death to many men Of

Steele, we sigh at the recollections of poor More
land the painter working at his last picture,
with brush in one hand and a glass Of brandy
in the other for he had then arrived at that ter
rible condition in which could visit him
only through intoxcation and Maginn, al
though not fallen this, sunk deeply. The
weary hours of lonely watching brought not re-
source, but that which copious draughts of the
liquid could supply. Health was fading away,
the brightest years of life were passed forever,
and as the dim future lowered, he gazed upon
it under the influence of that demon which en-
thralled the brilliant souls of Addison, of
Sheridan, of Charles Lamb, and which sent the
once stalwart form of Theodore Hook, miser-
able, wretched skeleton to the grave. Maginn.
we know, felt his position. He was neglected
by his own party-he was forgotten by many of
his former friends, and as we looked upon him
in his pitiable condition, and compared what we
then saw him with what he might have, and as
we hoped would have been, we often recalled
the fearful passage of Charles Lamb :-''When
you find a tickling relish upou your tongue, dis
posing you to a witty sort of conversation, es-
pecially if you find preternatural flow OF ideas
setting in upon you at the sight Of bottle and
fresh glasses, avoid giving way to it as you would
fly your greatest destruction. If you cannot
crush the power of fancy, that within you
which you mistake for such, divert it, give 1t
some other play. Write an essay, pen a char
acter or descriptiOn-but not as L do now, with
tears trickling down your cheeks. To be an

mirth which procures hatred; to give pleasure,
and be paid with squirting malice; to swallow
draughts Of ife-destroying wine, which are to
be distilled into airy breath to tickle vain audi

Cheap Ocean Postage.

L. j
pamphlet, in which he urges the policy and pro-
priety of cheap ocean postage His facts and
| arguments are of the most persuasive and con-
vincing character. This indeed is a reform that
! is greatly needed. 1t must come sooner or later
| The age requires 1.-THE wants OF the people OF
both worlds demand it. Why not apply the
| same doctrine to the ocean as the land? Ihe
| present rates enormous. MIR. Bates says
that the postage on single letter sent In mali
steamer is twenty-four cents. If 1T weigh over
half an ounce and under ounce forty-elght
cents-if over an ounce ninety-six cents. A
letter conveyed by a sailing vessel to Great Bri-
tain will cost sixteen cents, and when brought
from thence to the United States, the postage is
twenty-five cents. But this is not the only tax
On the continent of Europe there is an addition
al inland postage, varying according to the
rates exacted by the different governments, so
that a letter sent to- or from France or Germa-
nv. before it arrives at It's place of destination
is liable to two or three additional postages. By
a recent treaty with Prussia, the postage to that
kingdom has been fixed at thirty cents, which
| is at least six times more than it should be-
The postage to France via England, is enormous
The charge on a letter weighing half an ounce,
between Dover and Calais, two ports within sight
of each ether, is thirty-one cents, which added
to the charge from New York to Liverpool is ff-
ty-fve cents.
According to recent information the number
! of tran-e tlantic letters conveyed by steamers
and sailing Tessels, during the past year, was
about four and IdLf n.ilIion, and the postage
collected on them, nearly ore million Of dollars.
One-fourth of these were mercantile or business
letters, the other three-fourths we're letters Of
! friendship. Here then we tax of three
quarters Of million Of dollars is levied on the
exercise of the social affections and paid by the
most inGigent classes of our community. 1t
now costs a laboring man nearly the price of
days work to send letter and receive an answer
to it, from his friends in Europe
Let US contrast the difference between inland
and ocean postage. In Great Britain letter is
conveyed to any part of the United Kingdom for
taco cents and in the United States any distance
under three thousand miles for three cents, but a
letter carried three thousand miles by water,
from one country to the other, is charged twen-
ty-four cents, and if it weigh fraction over an
ounce it must pay quadruple this rate, or ninety
/ six cents
These are indeed Startling and telling facts,
and they cannot be too widely circulated, or too
earnestly commented upon. The subject is one
that appeals to the best feelings of our nature.
According to the official returns, there were up
wards of two millions of foreigners in this coun-
| try in 1850. The number OF the relatives and
| friends on the other siGo of the Atlantic may
also be counted by millions. How important
then, that the postage on letters should be redu
ced to the lowest possible point.

are the beauties of winter; who would not suf-
