those that use them. One poor family sold
eggs enough, at FIVE cents q dozen, 10 buy

man who could not read, but was blessed with
good wife who wanted books, was at the
trouble Of putting up few cords Of wood aud

cents per bushel, and thus procured the means
of supplying her with a library. And now

From Mexico.

Our latest dates from the city of Mexico
are those of the 14th ult. The country
seems not yet quieted, from the many insur.
rectionary movements which had been made
before our former dates. That at Cordova
had acquired an Importance and strength
which proved so fearful to the Government
that cessation of hostilities, and the
yielding of certain rights and privileges.
were agreed upon, on the 2Sth of July, in
the hacienda of Cuautlapa, between dele.
cation of the revolutionists and the officers
of the Government. The armistice was soon
set at naught, however, and the hostilities
began anew with increased vigor The in.
surgents are charged with having violated
the agreement. and the Government is, in
its turn, accused of not having followed the
condition of the treaty. Certain it is, now.
ever, that the city of Cordova was soon in
the hands of the insurgents, who next di.
rected their attack upon Orizaba. The Re.
bolledo movement was in StdtH quo: and
it was hoped, that the rebellion would not last
long.
A new movement is now being made in
Mazatlan, with the purpose of declaring it a
separate and independent Federal District.
The insurrection in this pace has been
lasting for some time, and the Government,
in spite Of all its proclamations and threats.
has not been able to suppress it. 1t is about
to be joined, in this movement by Tepic, an
adjacent port.
The insurection at Gaudaljara is also
gaining importance, and the municipal au.
thorities have called on the Federal Govern.

Very Cute.

The confidence of success manifested by
the Democratic schemers, at the very COM
mencement Of the campaign, proceeded,
no doubt, from the belief in the cuteness
and invinclbility Of their plans. To secure
the South, the nominee was to be brought
cut by Southern men, was to be regarded as
devoted advocate Of Southern interests
But he must not be Southern man. He
must be taken from portion of the country
as far away from the South as possible, so
that at home he may not even be suspected
of being friendly to its institutions or in fa-
vor Of the inviolate maintenance of the Fu-
gitive Slave Law. Being brought out by
Southern men, for the alleged reason of his
safe views in regard to the South, it was
calculated that he would make clean sweep
of the South. And being well known at
the North, it was as strongly calculated that
he would get the vote of the Free-soilers,
and of the scraps and fragments Of the va
rious bigotcd sects and parties which infest
New England.
The scheme was well laid, but it will
turn out, we think, an entire failure The
South, although jealous of her rights, and
watchful of her interests, is not to be fooled
by such an attempt to arouse her prcudices,
and to control her vote The people see
through the scheme, and are beginning to
exhibit their contempt for the scheme1s, and
their indignation at being thus trihed with.
Permit us here, in this connection, to re-
late an old anecaote:
Two relatives had flock of sheep be-
queathed to them 4 day was fxet upon
to divide them equally in value htween
them. The one who had charge Of the
sheep had them divided off into two pens,
and thinking to practice a trick upon the
other he put all the poorest, shabbest look
ing sheep, together with an old bltcb ram,
which be knew was great favorlte with his
relative, in one pen. And having put all
the finest and fattest in the othe pen, he
called upon his relative, and toldhin in his
dis;nterested generosity, to take his choice
Of pens. The relative looked FIRST at one
pen and then at the other He saw the old
black ram. and his heart vearned towards
him. For while he was perplexed-he
doubted but at last, with sorrowful deter
mination depicted upon his countenmce, he
exc,aimcd-"Oh, Reuben, Reuben I hate
to give you up--but | find you in such bad
company that | am bound to forsaks YOU
So the Democrats of the South, although
they dislike to 50 against the Democratic
candidate, Will be very likely to do SO when
they see what company ne keeps.

DISTINGUISHED Testimony.

1t may be edlfying to the Democrats
throughout the country, whom the vire-pul-
lers would persuade that Gen. Scott is an
Aboitionst, and any thing but a suitable
person to be made President, to hear what
Gen. Cass thinks of him. The Piercite
plotters, Forsyth, Soule, and Co., may be
so much encros3ed with their new candidate
and so anxious to defeat Gen. Scott, that
even the opinion Of Gen. Cass, who stands
50 deservedly high with the Democratic par
ty, will be regarded as unworthy Of notice,
when opposing the interest Of their New
Hampshire pet. But Forsyth, Soule and
Co., happen not to be the whole Democratic
party, as they will be apt to find out in
November next; and there are thousands
of Democrats with whom General Cass'
opinion has great weight although he has
been set aside to make way for an obscure
individual, magnifed into greatness and
fame by few selfish schemers, who have
undertaken to speculate in President-mak-
ing
Here is what Gen. Cass said of General
Scott in speech delivered in the Senate of
the United States, on the 9th day of Au-
gust last.
Il believe that Gen Scott is an honora-
bic and patriotic citizen, and that he has
written his name and his deeds on one of
the brightest pages Of his country s history
and not one breath of calumny from me
shall ever wither single leaf Of the laurel
that encircles his brow His wreath was
fairly won, and will not be one to prevent
it from being fairly worn. | have enjoyed
his personal friendship for a long series Of
years, and do not mean at this day by any
calumny to prove myself unworthy of it,
The WAY THE MONEY GoEs.-The late
DEMOCRATIC Congress passed an act appro-
priating one hundred and twenty thousand

themselves They also passed bill for the
relief OF Father Ritchie,-giving him $780,
900 for having agreed to do the public print
ing at a stipulated price, and falling to make
the job as profitable as he anticipated An
other bill, giving A. Boyd Hamilton, another
loco-foco, $4,000 on similarly trumped-
up claim was also passed, and yet the very
men who aided in passing these bills-such
men as Senator BoRLAND, who pocketed
$1,S0S, for services he aaeuer performed
