THE TEHUANTEPEC AFFAIR.
CORRESPONDING OF THE p1cArusE.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PIcAYuNE.
MEXICO, JUNE 49, 1852
You sometimes msled by verbal information re-
pectng Mexico where you have no opportunity to Judge
of its correctness For instance in your paper of the
30th May you say: "We informed on reliable au-
thority that the Chamber of Deputies of the Mexican
Congress has passed the bill granting the right of way
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec worthy
COL A. G. Sloo" SC. This is mistake on the part
of your informant for had such bin passed you would
have the published in all the papers here The
fact is, bill passed authorizing the Minister of the
Interior to make contract for opening the Tehuantepe
route, 10 be submitted The Congress for ratification
This is the bill which COL Soo and several other COM
panies in this country desired to have enacted and which
has given rise to much competition Col Sloo has made
his proposition, which well received by the Minister
and is still very favoraby entertained Should he be
successful may partly be owing his being too san
guine Others representing companies have also SUBJ
mitted their plans the department. and they all speak
with the same confidence of their prospects One COM
s ens o s 70 @ the
wealthy and influential is said to be in the ascendant at
present is supposed that the New Orleans Tehuante
pee Company will make proposition Independently of
1 Garay but OF this l am not informed
One thing is certain, that the Government will carefully
weigh the advantages offered by each company, and in
all probability, that which makes the most favorable bid
will be accepted but any proposition which has for its
basis alienation Of soil sovereignty requires the in
terposton Of any foreign Government to give it validity
by treaty, win be rejected The grant, when made viii
not differ much from which would likely be made by
the United States Congress for the right of way through
public lands Mexico has become very sensitive on
the subject Of her national rights and sovereignty and
will be very jealous Of any foreign interference More
if any foreigner receives this grant he will be
qured to all claims of protection from his Gov
eminent in all that pertains to the enterprise.
After all this the grant has to be revised by the Mex
can Congress- and approved by that body before being
valid This will consume much time, and lead q new
contest Indeed, il seems to have been something like
folly in Congress authorize the Minister to act and
then require appeal to the Legislature for confrna
ton The Minister could have done much without the
act Of Congress.

BELL, of Ohio, who in defending the character and
conduct of his friend, Enthusiastically assailed and
blackened by political and personal enemies, has
acted in strictly just spirit-such as becomes one
who recognises the duty Of indicating the fame Of
one of the most honorable and high-minded men
that the West has sent to represent its interests
at the Capitol: for such Mr.. CoRwIN must be adj

character OF the assault which has drawn out this
vindicaton is sufficiently stated in the body of Mr.
CAMPBELL's remarks to make the Speech perfectly

THE WING CAUSE IN PENNSYLVANIA

Extract Of a Letter wriuea By prominent er-
Member of Congress from Western Pennsylvania
to a friend IN his city.
The fires Of 1910 hndling up in Pennsylvania.
We had yesterday at Monroe grand and most enthu-
sasc meeting and torchght procession from thence to
Unontown at night number Of Cass come out
and declared themselves for ScoTT while every Taylor
is ardently for him. You may set down the old Key
stone for ScoTT by least twenty thousand His majo
rty must from every present indca ton greatly exceed
that Of Gen. TAYLOR.
"As Pennsylvania goes, goes and has gone every
Presidential election And should be surprised IL
the Democratic candidates known hostility to river and
harbor bills and other internal improvements should
give ScoTT all the Northwestern while his British free
trade tendencies will the Middle and manufac-
turing States. This viii leave him sixty seventy
electoral votes Fortune favors the brave" seems to
be true saying Independently Of all this, the same
that elected wAsHrSeroS Jackson, HARRISON and
TAYLOR, would elect ScoTr Human and the prin
cpes Of human action have been the throughout all
the ages Of the world and you might well attempt TO
control the winds and the resist this the Off
spring. not Of phrenry but gratitude the part Of the
people 1t is the honest discharge Of obligation they
owe TO those who have rsked their lives and lin ScoTrs
easel shed their blood in their countys defence con-
slider scorrs election fixed fact Nothing but his death
can prevent it."
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERICAN, AUGUST IT,
The prospect for scorT and GRAHAM in this State is
exceedingly cheering correspondent who Is now on
business tour which brings him into contact with large
number of the people, and upon whose intelligence and
honesty entire reliance may be placed, writes under
date Of Lancaster August 10TH that his observation and
inquiries in the county Of Lancaster induce the belief
that Scott win have thousand votes than the
people of that section gave to Gen. TAYLOR in 1913
Tayors majority $780, and the most intelligent ct-
zens on the spot confident that Scott will receive
majority Of 5000 or $500 Many meetings are to be
held in various parts Of the county during this MONTH
and the people said to be waking up and moving with
the right spirit.
We are also told that Chester county may be certainly
depended upon for majority of at least 900 for Scott
The masses represented to be pervaded with
husasc desire for the election Of the hero Of Chppe-
wa and Niagara all the talk and all the excitement run

A British historian, speaking Of celebrated G,

A British historian, speaking of celebrated &C.
neral, says No man can be great soldier unless
he possess great administrative talent; and this
talent is more likely to be brought forth and fos-
tered by the business of war than by the manage
ment of cases at aisi priuS; yet, because of the
/" habit of speaking, the lawyer is deemed capable
of governing, while the soldier, whose life is spent
in action, and not in talk, is considered IMMERSED
" in what are called the affairs of State" We
quote this just remark not because we have any pre-
objection for military chieftans, merely as SUCH
unaccompanied by other recommendations, but be-
cause we think General ScoTT is unfairly dealt with
in the present contest, in undertaking his qualifca-
tons for the Office for which he is now candidate
If he had no experience, no virtues, no mind, we
should not expect nor wish the people to support
him. But when it is known that in every situation
in which he has been placed he has performed his
duty with distinguished ability, the fact that he is
great commander is an additional argument in his
favor 1t shows that he possesses that g admins
tratiye talent spoken Of, which is al-important in
the Chief Magistrate Of this country. He who il
|" profoundly skilled in the difficult art of leading
and controlling armies, of directing campaigns
of educing from his combinations success and tr
umph, has the capacity to do his country great ser
vice, and if patriot, is sure to be honorable and
useful. Such man, we believe, is Gen. ScoTT.

will be placed the names Of Mr. WEBSTER and Mr.

adoption of resolutions for the appointment of COM
mttee of twenty-four members, being three from
each Congressional district to report matters for the
action Of the Convention, and authorizing them to
confer with the "Scott Convention" which was to
assemble at the same place on Wednesday, in order
to endeavor to harmonic the action Of the two diy-
sions Of the Wing party of Georgia.
Wednesday came, but the parties could not re-
concle their differences, and they therefore nomi-
mated separate Electoral tickets-the one being
pledged to the support of SCoTT and GRAHAM, and
the other supporting WEBSTER and JENKINS.
