Spring showers-BY u1DEswsRTH.

March winds and April showers-twas always said
Bring forth the flowers that deck the bowers of earth
The rain down, upon its mission sped,
And birds and leaves springing into birth.
The germs shoot briskly forth. the old trees wave
Their branches in the air with seeming pride,
The grasses of the ground grow greenly brave,
And smile luxuriant every side.
Oh! bless the vernal showers so kindly given,
To fructify and beautify and cheer;
That show the love for man by bounteous heaven,
Written in vcrdure on the opening year!
But, though 'tis pleasing on the theme to dwell,

TIT FOR TARA correspondent OF the Washing

moved from the Department Of the Interior were
notified of their dismissal by printed letters which
he considers an ominous circumstance, indicating an
intention to carry wholesale business. To this
the Union replies
If there is any improperly in using printed cir
culars for such purpose, the responsibility must
rest with the late administration, inasmuch as the
Identical blanks made of in the Interior De-
parment were printed four years ago fer the use of
Mr. Ewing and when they were found few days
since: proper regard for economy required that
they should not be thrown away, but be made SER

therefore, say whether the supply will equal the de-
mand but surely no good Wing will object to a

VIVA. Can Santa Anna Do :

Tho late return of Santa Anna to Mexico. accom-
an;rd az it is by his restoration to power, affords
the subject matter for any amount OF specnlatons'
having even oyersaughtered the discussion OF that
great and important question" Have we Bourbon
amongst us % It is evident that the restoration OF
Santa Anna is regarded the last chance tor Mex
ico-a desperate remedy, only resorted to for the
treatment of case believed to be equally desperate
and that if it fails all hope must be abandoned OF
any reorganization Of the Mexican Republic upon
the basis of its own inherent strength, and that 1t
must either go to pieces and be absorbed by its
neighbours, or be sustained by power from
without, to which it will be, to ali intents and pur
poses, subject. AS an independent nation, Mexico
we think is in artcuIo mortis: and not even Santa
Anna can avert, or even seriously delay its fate.
The great want in Mexico seems to be the absence
of all authority. There are plenty of resources
which iudicious laws might develope. and perhaps
there are statesmen of sufficient Judgment and pa
triotism to understand this and to desire the enact
ment of these laws. But how they to be en-
forced. No law is supreme, no power in the State
beyond the reach of pronunciamento. There is
no starting point for improvement since there is
power which can be relied on to effect anything fo1
good. When State has reached this point its re.
succitaton from within is next to hopeless. 1t must
submit to some power from without, which sup,
ply it with what it has not itselfa permanent legal
sanction, with the certainty of enforcement.
With us the supreme authority is the law, and
however mild in its operation it is irresistible as
the edicts of the most arbitrary potenate and it is
this certainty and irresisbilty which secures the
permanent prosperity of the country. and gives Sc.
curity to all adyocations. Of course, this state OIL
things has its foundation in the character and hab
its and training of our people, none of which are
shared by the citizens of sister Republic. Used
to braws and revolutions, they look to such means
and not to legal remedies, for the abatement of any
nuisance, WHILE at the time, those interested
in the maintenance of any abuse just likely
to create revolution for the purpose of defeating
reform az reformers for the purpose of removing
abuses.
Before long, Santa Anna will either become Flu
ropean agent exile for take it for granted
that he is too cautious to place his head in any dan
ger of following his leg Should he attempt to re
duce Mexico to the position of the virtual Colony

will be driven out as he is certain to be within
limited period of time, and the confederation will
solve itself into its constituent elements, being bro
