The New Orleans Picayune, in speaking of the
Mexican Chief says among olher things, :. San
ia Anna is a man possessed of some positive
traits and qualities. He may be liar, a rascal,
a gambler, an assassin-he may be whatever
bis enemies proclaim him to be-and we are in
clined to think they not far from the truth
But he allows no one else to ROBBIE strings up
means that are reprehensible, tor ends that are
selfish, through tools that are dyed in rascality
but he maintains government, makes wars
and treaties quells Irevolts. and gives to the ma
tion nationality she has never possessed under
other rulers" 7-aF8 FfesEs.

10 invitation to attend, he comes out plainly
and unequivocally in defence OF the National

and, IN their recognition of the Van Buren,
Free Soil faction he says he cannot forget that il
was that faction which traitorously deserted the
Democratic party in 49, and that whilst the
