Mexico.

The lais news'fom Mexico is highly important
The people Of that Inflated country, after trying
every kind of government have proved them
selves utterly Incapable of conducting aRepubllc,
and are now, probably, under the dominion OF an
absolute ruler. For months past, all the acts Of
President Santa Anna have tended to the estab-
lishment of an Imperial Government. He has
imprisoned or banished every man OF influence
that was opposed to him, and on the LIST instant
the preparatory proclamation OF the Empire was
uttered from the Palace, with great military dis
plsy. The 10Th was the day on which 1t was
supposed he would formally assume the title and
office Of Emperor In the meantime, the hnances
and affairs generally of the country are reported
ia be in most deporable conditlon-the civil and
military expenses exceed the revenue by more
than eight million of dollars. Under all the cir
eunstanc.s monarchy is perhaps the only gov
eminent that will restore order and give any
measure of repose and prosperity to the people,
II is matter of considerable Importance to the
United States that some permanent government
should be established in Mexico. There are sew
eral questions pending between the two countries
which it is time should be settled. The MesiIla
Valley question is one of the first and most inter-
ostinr. That slip of territory lies on the route OF
one of the proposed Railroads to the Pacific, and
its possession by the United States is regarded as
desirable. Another open question IS, the con-
s,ruction of the Treaty of Guadalupe. Mexico
claims that we are required to restrain the Indians
ON our side of the boundary line, or to indemnity
E,r fossps sustained from them. This construc-
ton will hardly be acquiesced in by our Govern
nent. The remaining subject of difference IS,
the Tehuantepec affair. y committee OF the u
pjted States Senate reported last winter In aVor
essustaiuing the claim Of some OF our citizens 10
rioht of way across the lsthmus-whlch is denied
nv Mexico-and such is understood to be Ihe posi-
ton Of our Government.
Recent reports state that our Minister at Mex
leo. MIR. Gadsdon, was endeavorIng to ADJUST all
these difficulties, but was much retarded by the
absorbing nature ofeyents in progress there ne
Government of Santa Anna, 1t is said, entertained
with favor the proposition to concede to the Unit
tad States right of way for Railroad to the
Pacific south of the boundary line, but rejected the
suggestion of grant of land for the purpose
or . removal of the line southwark. In conside-
ration ola session of this right, the demand OF a
specific performance of the Garay contract Tor a
way across the Isthmus, will be abandoned.
NJ Since the above was put in type, we nave
observed that the Washington Union denies by
authority that Mr.. G. islen has had any negotla-
ton with Santa Anna in which the recognition OIL
the Garay grant was demanded.

Ministers, salaries.

We understand that the Episcopal congregation
of,b;s place and the Presbyterian congregation oil
Auous,s Church, have recently determined to IN
crease, by two hundred dollars each, the salaries
of their respective Pastors. These are gOoo
movements. and we hope the example VIII DC
rererally followed 1t has been estimated BY
some one that the dogs in the United States coS
three times as much, annually, as is paid to MN
listers of the Gospel of all denominations com0ia'
od We do not vouch for the correctness oil the
calculation, but that clergymen OF all denoih'ua'
lions, with very few exceptions, are most mad
eouately paid, must be admitted and felt by al
who will give the subject moments considera'
ZION Yet ministers are precluded by the very
nature Of their office from uttering word OF com
nlsint. Let a minister Intimate anything OF INT INT
kind to his people, and he is forthwith accused Q
..striking for higher wages" and tainted with De
;no creedv Of vain. Other professional men,mer
chants. mechanics, and laborers OF every deScrip
lion may demand compensation and prices &C
eordiug to the circumstances ofthe times; but TN
CLERGY must toll on year after year without
,ourmur. however inadequate their salaries may

table appearance in society AT the present 'il'
he market prices generally are greatly enhanced
and il is specially important that the people shoul'
act now in reference to this matter. No clergy
man who is fit for his Office has entered 1t VIII
the view of making money, but "the laoofer Il
worthy of his hire,' as well in this as IN o'he

The Sentinel and the Enquirer.

The Washington Sentinel and the Richmond
Enquirer, two leading organs of the Democracy,
have recently had some severe bouts, originating
in remarks of the Enquirer upon the election of
Mr.. Tucker as Printer to the Senate. So far as
we have observed, the Sentinel has the decided
advantage of its opponent 1t makes full expo
sure Of the Euquirer's inconsistencies. In refer
ence to the election of Printer, the Sentinel says
Gen. Armstrong received democratic vote be-
cause he was good old man who was intimate
with Gen. Jackson. CHAD the Washington Sen
tinel ,it says, sheen presented to the two Houses
of Congress, without outside influences and with
out personal considerations, the Sentinel would
have beaten the Union in both Houses three to
two, and that without the help of whig votes.
''But the Enquirer says that the publisher OF
this paper was elected by coalition between wings
and abolitonists Our good temper induces US to
attribute that spiteful remark to silly passion
The Enquirer knows, as well as we do, that we
have made unceasing war against free sellers and
aboitionists. The Enquirer deals it's blows like
shaved headed madman-blindly and without
knowledge or reflection. Some of the wing Sena-
tors voted for u.s. Why should they not do so?
We had rather have the votes of such men as Ed
ward Everett and John NJ. Clayton than the coun-
tenauce and support Of the whole tribe of Van Blu
rem Buffalo platform freesoilers, with whom the
Washington Union and the Richmond Enquirer
are now cohabitng under the lash of federal dlca-
on OF from the hope of federal spoils."
