LATE AND INrEREsTiNG FROM New MExI-
co.-Iadian Troubles .-Advices from Santa
Fe to the LIST ult, have reached st. Louis.
Difficulties have again taken place with the
Navajo Indians. They had killed one citi-
zen, and run off a bout 5000 sheep. Gov.
Lane demanded that the murderers should
be surrendered, but the chief prevaricated,
and asked until the "full ofthe moon," (the
2lst Of June,) to answer the demand. So
well satisfied was the Governor, of the in
te ntion Of the chief not to give up the MUIR
derers, that he notified Colonel Simmer OF
the facts; and that officer Immediately plan
ned an expedition against the Indians
They wero ready to move as soon asthe In
dams failed to give up the murderers. and
are now probably on their way to The Ma
vajo country. Col. Summers departure for
the States was interrupted and delayed by
this expedition, of which he was to take the
command.
The Nevajoes, up to the time of these out
RACES had been quiet for nearly two yearsf

bus on the gath o August for the purpose
Of nominating a candidate for State Com
missioner Of Common Schools, and the at
tempt TO create the impression that the
Wings have always beei hostile to Com
mon Schools, says our present Common
School system was commencednearly thirty
years ago, and has been amended and i'm
proved from year to year until il came into
the hands Ofthe Democratic Legislature
last winter, and those ''lOadhg, gambling,
spreeing 'clever fellows" undertook to
make il better. AS soon as the result of
their labOrs reached the light, the Statesman
P%ounced upon it, and was particularly saw
age upon this very Office, Of State School
Commissioner, as they had created it.. We
will venture to say that the wise and
wholesome provisions Of the present Law
have almost invariably been taken from the
old laws, while the crudities and absurdi-
ties which il may contain are the legitimate
offspring Of that extraordinary body. What
makes the pretension that the Democratic
party 'has thus far successfully nourished
our Common school system, more absurdly
impudent, is the fact that scarcely a prom
inent Democrat has ever been heard of as
an ardent and earnest advocate and friend
of our Common Schools.
We do not claim that the Wings have
been the exclusive friends OF the Common
schools; for we would have no one believe
we held so poor an opinion.of the people of
Ohio. II will be a sad, day for our State
when it can be said ~truthfully of any great
party in it. that it is hostile to the education
of the people, or "iercely ~resists" any wise
plan for promoting their education. We
claim no merit for the Wing over the DEM
ocrat party in this respect; but we do assert
as a fact, which requires no argument to
demonstrate it, but which we believe can
easily be proved, that the most ardent and
active friends of the Common schools have
invariably been Wings.
The great and unnecessary pc wers given
to the State School Commissioner will ena-
BILE him to do agreatdea Of mischief,ifh he be
elected under improper influences and for
improper purposes. We greatly fear that
1t is the intention of the Democratic party
to prostitute this Office to the accomplish
ment Of party ends, and to transform our
Common school system into a great cleo
pioneering machine. II they succeed, they
will soon render the Common schools worth
less, or worse than worthless, and thus in
aict upon the community a double curse. =
Their plans now have every prospect OF
succeeding, but we hope the intelligence
and virtue ofthe people of Ohio will be suf-
fcient to defeat them and preserve the
fountains of learning in their purity, what
ever other ones may become corrupt and
dangerous.

FOURTH oF JULY.-The following remi-
niscence occurs in a sermon entitled "The
Footsteps Of God" preached on the last
national anniversary by Rev. J, N. McJil
ton:
Cali this and more this day of freedom
tells. 1t tells hat the footsteps Of HIN
whose way is in the sea, and whose path is
in the great waters, have touched it, and
lett upon it the marks of their mysterious
tread. 1t is wonderful; il is providential
that John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and
James Monroe, three Presidents Of the Re-
public to which it gave existance, that was
declared free on the fonrth of July, should
have been taken from their labors to their
rewards on its anniversary. And the won
der is increased and providence rendered
more mysterious, in the fact that two OF
them-Adams and Jefferson, the principal
authors 81 the Declaration of Independence
-were taken on the same day, and that the
Gtieh. the j~ubilatic year Of the indepen-
dence, for the securing Of which they per-
lied their lives and fortunes. and pledged
their sacred honors. Surely these strange
ly coincident events could not have occur

proUtdentiGt. And as providentia coinci-
dents in relation to the anniversary of A.
merican freedom, they call upouthe patri.

IMPORTANT PoLITGcAL NEws.-The His
PIANO Merican Lagw.-A special despatch
to the N. Y. Daily Times, says il is rlmored
that Government has bean advised, from
quarters entitled to the highest credit, Of
the celebration of treaty between Spain
and Mexico, for the remuneration Of the
latter to the former. The treaty, It is sta
ted, was solemnly signed by Gems. Canado
and Santa Anna, while the latter was at
Havana-subject to ratification by tho
Court of Madrid, and by the Mexican as
soon as he should be firmly seated in the
dictatorial chair. These notifications have
been received, and an expedition, it is said,
is organized on the Northern shore of Cuba,
destined to carry six thousand Spanish
troops to Vera Cruz, where they arctic sup
port the coup d'etdt which Santa Anna ha s
resolved to attempt.
1t is likewise asserted, that the departure
of the expedition will be the signal for a
general insurrection on the Island The
Cubans are resolved not to let SO capital a
chance slip, without attempting their eman-
cipation; and, if we may believe reliable
authorities, the movement will certainly
prove triumphant.
A gentleman who has had the best oppor-
%tunities Of acquainting himself with the Sc
cret drift of things in Cuba, and who pos
sesses the confidence of Government,
writes: ~ am lold, Judge Crawford, the new
ly app ointed Consul at Havana, does not
propose to enter upon the duties ofhis Office
until October. Ifthis is SO, depend upon it,
he will never act as Consul. The fate of
the Spanish authority will have been seal
ed ere then"

OUR nat Is III a strange
infatuation, says the Stduaton Messenger,
seems to have seized upon the minds Of the
people of this country in regard to its "man-
ifest Destiny The opinion has obtained
among the mass, and spread itself through
the various ramiications of society, that it
is the destiny Of this country to free all
nations Of the earth. The voice Of treason,
of experience, and Of history is unheeded,
and passion and fanaticisn go brawling over
the land.
Well, we are a great people, no doubt
about it. With the germ Of a population
in l776 ofthree millions of souls, spread over
a comparatively small territory, we have
grown to be a great nation of t~wenty-six
millions Of people, occupying a territory al
most boundless in extent. And this, too,
in the short space of twenty-seven years!
Was there ever before, in the history Of the
world, growth so rapid! History tells US
of none, and tradition stands COMPOUNDED.
1t has sprung up as if by magic. The fla
bled Aladdin's lamp never produced such

But great as it unquestionably is, free as
we all acknowledge it to be, is there no dan
ger! is there no tear that by recklessness
we may plunge our country I'M Its free IN
stltutlons INTO utter and l'retrleVable ruin!
"ethink thereis. Does not the voice OF
