M e xico.

BY the last Geographic dispatches it would
appear that there is danger of collision be-
tween the United States and Mexico in refe-
renee to the occupation of the Mesilla valley.
In the unfriendly attitude of Russia and Tur-
key, England and France, Austria and the
United States, and the United States and
Mexico, there seems a fair prospect of "gen-
eral row. Santa Anna would undoubtedly
like to find pretext in the acts of this coun-
try to raise a large standing army, but he
must be cautious that he does not play too
deep. Another war with the United States
would engulf Mexico and himselfin the yearn-
ing bowels Of the American Union. Santa
Anna and his countrymen should be thankful
that they escaped from the late contest with
the loss of California We may be COM
PEELED, in the event of another struggle, to re-
lieve Mexico entirely of the cares of self-go-
vernment, andto compel her to enjoy, through
all her borders, the blessings of genuine fber-
ty and civilization. Let Santa Anna ''stand
from UNDER nor precipitate the manifest
destiny which will come upon Mexico in Its
own good time.

N..;ans do .ot 90 TO war in hurry IN THESE
aars We do not suppose that the spirit OF
Xvar has ceased. or that the period mas qai'e
.rr;vea for the lion to lie down IN peace
.-;.h Tho lamb; but the "last argument oil
.,,;s not now. as formerly, the first ar
r,o,t II was the fashion, in former times,
% hac;n with knock down, and discuss the
,,.r;ts of the quarrel afterward, But times
md manners have altered. 1fmen have not
become better, they have, at least become
more civilized and decent. The highway
man may be still upon his walk, but instead
of peremptorily bidding You stand and deli
yer. he resorts first to what is called moral
suasion, politely informs you of his neeessi-
ties. and, in the blandest tones, requests an
equitable division of your property. And it
Is not until this courteous proposition is met
by churlish and positive refusal that he
feels constrained to put his pistol to your head
and relieve you, at the same moment, OF your
brains and your money The Northern Bear
undoubtedly has not lost his appetite for a tat
and delicate Turkey; but our Bear now
-scorns to go upon all.fours and rob a poultry
ward, like his forefathers. He is trying, at
present, to walk upon two legs, and initiate
gentleman. He makes, it is true, the most
unheard of demands upon Turkey; but hisre-
quests are couched in most courtly phrase,
aud his rough paw is encased IN glove OF
velvet. Here, now, we have had the Gear
and the Sultan at issue, for months, upon
quarrel which former Cars and Sultans
would have adiudicated in ten hours by the
sword, yet not dropof blood has been spilled
up to this date The great potentates OF Eu-
rope have interposed their powerful media
ton on the side of peace, and thus far they
have succeeded in combining the contest to
the peaceful arena of diplomacy and negotia-
ton.
1t is idle to expect that wars will altogether
cease until human nature becomes entirely
transformed; but even the pride, revenge and
destructiveness of the human character may
be overcome among nations as well as indi-
viduals, by an enlightened self-iEterest.-
Commerce, railroads, and works of public i'm
provement are every day making families of
nations, and preparing the way for the ulti-
mate determination of the whole race. Wars
may occasionally occur, for there exist politi-
cal evils which will admit Of no other remedy;
but, like the great commissions of nature, they
will be of rare occurrence, and leave behind
them purer atmosphere and a more serene
sky. These volcanic eruptfons Of human pas
sion will prepare the way for new
I'll ;oh with both
the moral and physical laws of its great Ar
chitect and reflect with unclouded lustre the

Excrss,vr T.xAr1os-The extravaeant

EXCESSIVE TAxATIoN-The extravagant
price which poultry vegetables and fruits OF every
character sold in our markets induces us 20 pc
lieye that the producers, in great measure, have
abandoned the practice of attending the market

Southern Periodicals.
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.

The October number of the Southern Lite
rary Messenger sustains the usual interest and
variety of that valuable monthly. The bril-
liant and pungent article ON Representative
Men" is concluded in the present number
Whilst the Messenger continues to present
such contributions as this, and others that
might be named, to the literature of the coun-
try, it win be slur upon the taste and intel
ligence of the South, if this Southern periodi-
cal does not command hearty and universal
patronage.
We have often wondered and lamenfed
over the strong infatuation which leads the
people of the South to pass by the Claims
of their own periodicals, and lavish the dews
of their patronage upon the exotics of North,
ern literature But it is so with everything.
Southern men send their SOFAS to Northern
Colleges, and their daughters to Northern
Boarding Schools they furnish their man
.ions from Northern ware houses, and pur-
chase their supplies at Northern marts; they
lavish their treasure annually by millions up
on objects which might be easily obtained al
heme, and then raise prodigious outcry
about the growing strength and aggressive
temper of the Northern people. What right
have we to complain We are voluntary
contributors to that strength; we have 'nurs.
ed the pinion which impels the steel;'' we
have forged our own chains. live would be
powerful and secure, we have the means h
our own hands But we have never used
them yet and we fear it win require more
monstrous wrongs than we have yet suffered
to ind6ce US TO encourage our own industry,
and evince Stat ride in practical and sub
stantial manner.
The encouragement of Northern literature
at the expense of our own meritorious home
productions is the most perilous and suicidal
of all our follies. By such course we shut
the mouths of the sentinels upon our own
ramparts, and admit the enemy within the
very citadel Of our strength OF what use
are statutes and resolutions in defence of
Southern Institutions, when from the very
school books placed in the hands of Southern
children, to the magazine with which the
head of the family begniles his leisure hours,
we find the insidious poison of a false philan-
thropy, weekly, daily and hourly diffused
through every nook and corner of the South
ern States. All over Virginia, and We have no
doubt it is so in every Southern State. Won
win see, not only in the larger cities, and the
fourishing villages, but in the retired coun.
try dwellings, Northern magazines, which
ever and anon contain covert assaults upon
Southern institutions, and huge weeklies
teeming with tales and anecdotes and iests OF
acharacter little in harmony with the pure
and modest virtues ola Southern household
These are huinilisting facts, but it is the
duty OF the press to call attention to them
and to invoke the South most solennly tc
sustain its own literature. We see by the
October number of the Messenger, that Mr.
Wm hacfarlane one of the proprietors, il
