risans. They esteem them as peculiarly dangerous,
well knowing the entcrprisng and energetic charac
ter of the Yankees, as they call them and aware of
their tendencies to extend the grant of an inch to
tho length Of an ell by their own voliton. Another
reason for this hostile sentiment to foreigners is that
the Roman Catholic clergy Of Mexico are tremb-
lngly jealous Of both English and Americans, and
of their being permitted TO establish any central
point of influence power within the limits of the
Mexican republic. The clergy may be said to have
the great controlling power and chief influence in
that republic. They possess two thirds of the land
ed property, and at least large a share of the
financial abilities of the country They are landed
proprietors, bankers brokers, and money lenders
as well curers of souls aud superintendent of the
gate of heaven. These priests, as we have said,
have a strong jealousy Of foreigners, both English
and Anercan on account of their religion, knowing
very well that the Protestants of both countries
possess an energetic, progressive spirit, and always
endeayor, wherever they circulate money and in
trade, to put FORTH at the same time, their
own sentiments on human liberty, and on the mode
of salvation and getting into heaven. Every Con-
gress and Executive in that republic has to study
the pleudicessof this powerful class, than any
other element existing in the country The mass of
the people are ignorant, and entirely led by the
priests and may well be eonvnced that, possess
ing this vast influence, and impelled by such mo-
tiyes, the priesthood will exercise their power to
prevent their government making treaty with Mr..
Sloo any other alien, which would tend to the in
PRODUCTION into Mexico Of that class of foreigners
50 hostile TO their vested rights and privileges and
the propagation of whose sentiments would be so
detrimental to their interests
There is no power at present in Mexico antngo-
nisc 10 that of the clergy, except, in some degree,
the military and commercial classes. But the COM
mercal interest is feeble and isolated, and the mill
tary political interest has far less popular inu-
encs than tina. welded by the clergy. Every
government, therefore, though it may owe its
existence to military pyo'uneianentos-whieh are, in
fact. species Of military ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
nevertheless, for its popularity, For its success, and
for its continuance, on the good viii Of the great
clerical body, which exercises the prime pal power in
the Mexican republic
With these views, and knowing from the best
sources the history Of the recent proceedings in
Mexico, we strongly tempted to doubt the story
that Mr.. Sloo has now succeeded in procuring
from the Mexican government grant for the con-
struction of railroad canal across the Isthmus
of Tchuantepec. as the New Orleans journals rep
resent. Our information is altogether Of diff
feren character, and We have as yet seen nothing
but vague assertions to the contrary thereof.

MEssRs. EDITORS Your impartial and indie
pendent course, as editors of the Telegraph, en-
courages constant reader thereof to ask a space
i'll your columns to say few words in answer to
the writer's of the pieces signed "A Taxpayer"
and "One Of the People" Those writer's have
given US a horlid picture of our police system.
According to their showing, Tor rather to his
showing, for have no doubt that the toaia are
one,) the system is a horrid, misshapened mon
ster, and the treasury of our Corporation about
to be ruined, having to pay "three dollars to get
one come in" but few facts will refute all the
gentleman's special pleading, and show that he
is wrong in all his calculations and not to he
depended on to teach the principles on which a
police svstcm should be formed Perhaps there
are some persons who think a police system
should not be SO arranged as to produce reve-
nue.. If this be so, then all the astounding facts
Of ''One Of the People" about bankrupt trea-
sury, and his resolves not to pay taxes for any
such purpose as to support police system, can
be properly estimated. | thought that the peo-
pie did pay taxes for the very purpose of sup
porting municipal government, part of which is
the police system.
] have seen the account OF one officer only,
and that account exhibits the following facts
This one officer has paid into the treasury in cash
upwards Of $500; unpaid judgments on hand,
nearly Si0O more; besides the expenses paid by
him for conveying persons to the workhouse,
nearly all Of which are returned and in many
cases with three dollars additional to the treasury;
besides, the labor Of those who remain their time

RICHMOND, Va, March "a, 1862.
The State convention of the Democratic party

Hon. Henry A. Wise, Of Accomac, moved that
committee of seven Ire appointed to present
names for permanent organization.
| Governor Floyd moved to amend it so as to
make the number fifteen, to correspond with the
Congressional districts; which was accepted.
Mr.. Claiborne, Of Franklin, moved to amend
the resolution SO as to vest the appointment Of
the committee in the chair; whereupon long,
exciting, interesting, and very eloquent debate
ensued, principally between Mr.. Wise and Mr..
Claiborne, in which the Accomac orator paid
just tribute to the Tyler administration for old
Johns vetoes Of the bank, tariff, distribution,
&C., which raised the Democratic standard from
the dust whore it trailed
At o'clock an adjournment was effected till 4,
at which hour the convention again assembled

The Police System.

l venture the assertion that the communica-
tons over the signature of {" 4 Taxpayer" and
:" One of the Citizens which appeared in the
American Telegraph, giving an exposition of the
present police system, have met with a hearty re-
sponse from all who read your valuable paper
as well as the citizens generally. The ineficiency
Of the present system of police has met with de-
cided dsapprobation the part of the citizens,
and it is presumed Also the corporate authorities.
Previous to the reorganization of the old sys-
tenn, it was contcnded by the officers, and others,
that the compensation allowed was inadequate to
enable them to render efficient service, from the
fact that it frequently cost the officers more
than their pay to convey prisoners to a place Of
safety; consequently, strong and successful
move was made to increase the number Of police
officers with such increase Of their compensation
as it was thought would insure faithful per-
formance of duty on the part of that body. The
present organization has proved failure, either
from the fact that the officers have disregarded
their solemn obligations in the discharge Of their
duties, or that the compensation allowed them is
still inadequate. 1t is an admitted fact, that the
present system, involving the Corporation in q
heavy expenditure of their funds, has given less
satisfaction than the old one did. II vas in
tended ond 50 bcitcrcd, that under the present
organization, by allowing liberal compensation,

magistrates Offices, would give their pcrso"q at
