have been arrested; among ths IN Don
Juan Mujice, late Governor of the
State of Puebla, Gen. Turlon, and
Mr.. Inzunea, attorney.

the exile of his political adversaries.
General Manol Robes, minister OF
war under the administration Of Arls-
ia, Don Luis de Ia Rosa, minister to
fereign affairs under the administra-
ton of Herrera, and formerly minis
ter plenipotentiary to the United
States, have been ordered to quit the
country.
Bishop Monjia, who since the
death of Don Lucal Salaman, presi.
dent Of the council, has retired to bis
diocese, before leaving, predicted the
downfall of Santa Anna in case the
latter should not change his present
policy
Mr.. Haro is no longer minister oil
finances; his place is now filed by
Sierra Erosa.
The army is far fiom being strong
partisan assertions to the contrary
Notwithstanding must state, how
ever, that Santa Anna has commits
stoned more generals and officers
than any army Of FIVE hundred thou
sand men would require.
There is not a centin the treasury.

gloomy account Of the condition O.
a fairs in the Mexican Republic
lie says-and in This he agree.
with other writers -that Santa An
ma has failed in all his efforts to
raise revenue, and his government
like its predecessors, is bankrupt, aud
without resources. He raised six
millions from the church by a
forced loan, but failed in second ef-
fort to raise money from the same
source to the amount Of SI7000,-
900, and now he las undertaken to
raise funds by heavy Taxation, which
in Mexico always pr owes very un-
prod uctiye and unsatisfactory. His
scheme Of raising an army OF 3d.

can Sc rcely raise 100000. Rob

The Elections.

/.
From every direction, wherever
elections have been held, with hardly
an exception, for the last few months
the result has been most cheering
the democrats sweeping every thing
before them; giving an earn est OF
their confidence in the admilistra-
ton Of President Pierce. The mat
ter is summed up briefly by the
Union & American. The returns
show, that however a few office
seekers may rail, the. great heat It Of
the people is true to democracy.
Our own Tennessee, one of the
four whigStates last fall, is redeemed,
and a radical de ocrat fills her Gu
bernatorial chair.
Kentucky, Mother Of the four,
has divided Cong ressional delegation
Vermont, for the first TIM e in
thirty years, fails to have whig ma
jority in her Legislature
Massachusetts, only, is thoroughly
whig.
OF the elections this fall, we hive
carried Georgia, in fair fight, agh inst
all the elements ofwhiggery comb led.
/ In Ohio, where Governor and 9TH
er State officers have lat ely been
elected, the victory is overw helming.
Democratic majority about sixty
thousand!i The wings will have
doz en- or So members to the Legisla-
ture, out Of an hundred
] n PENNSYLVANIA, the tt umph of
the democracy is almost as compl ete
as it is ID Ohio. Majority about
twenty thousand!
California adds her name to the
bright list. The last news from that
golden region says that Bigler (dem)
has been reelected Governor by about
1000 majority, and the rest Of I he
State ticket by from 5000 to 10000
majority. Both branches of the
Legislature will be strongly den 10
cratic.
So much for the. fall elections! II
Such has been the practical and ia a
gible refutation Of all the libels viii CHI
the whig party have heaped up on
Gen. Pierce. They charge him with
having done nothing but blunder in
his policy, and that he has thus rup
tured and disaffected his own party.
A deafening contradiction comes up
from all those States which haF We
held their elections.
Referring to these results, t be
Louisville Democrat we'll says, TIL at
'fthe wings had as we'll give it up. II
The democrats may quarrel as much
as they please; it does the wings no
good. The Seward abolition party
in New York MAY succeed in getting
a few State offices, but their succe IS
will only involve the wings in troq-
BILE; particularly in the South. The
disreputable dodge of all national is
sues by these Sewardites, shows the
cloyen foot too plainly to deceive any
one. There is no national whig or
ganization able to make a stand, e4
cept in Kentucky, and even her e
some distinguished wings have bee
known to travel, get into bad compa-
ny, and come home with damaged
