MISCELLANEOUS.
An ably written paper the pol teal stuat on OF
Mexico under the admin tration of Santa Anna is
given in to-day's issue. The writer, evidently well
acquainted wi the topic upon VIII ch he treats, at
tributes the resent demoralized condition Of that
country to the undue nfu, Of the priesthood in
governmental affairs the intrgues of the cotton
manufacturing interest and the military power.
These thee important influences, united to the un-
scrupulous ambition Of Santa Anna, stimulated by
Spanish gold and Spanish intrigue, have at last
ceeded in placing upon the necks Of the Mexi-
can people yoke Of tyranny to which we
fail to find parallel. But the cunning OF Santa
Anna has fooled the Vaccinations Of the reigning
family of Spain, which had for their Interior object
the erection of throne whereon to seat the daughter
of the Queen mother and daughter-in-law of Louis
Phppe Having made catspaw of his royal
friends he has long since turned them and their
schemes adrift assuming all the prerogatives that
absolutsm confer in his own person. To sus
tain the unstable fabric which he has reared none
but the most unholy means have been resorted to.
After lifetime Of the blacklist crime and treachery
he is rapidly tending 10 the end Of his iniquitous
career, and when he goes hence it will be amid the
universal excavations of his own countrymen. We
commend the article alluded to as worthy an atten-
tive perusal.

The Boston Fugitive Case-Trlumph OF Il
Constitution and the Laws.
The extraordinary and exciting proceedings
at Boston yesterday, consequent upon the de-
livery of the fugitive slave Burns to his mas
ter, will attract the especial attention of our
readers to-day. 1t is the most striking and
determined example of abolition resistance to
the constitution and the laws in the history of
the country, and the most complete triumph
of the law over the most formidable mob ever
collected in this Union to trample the law and
the constitution in the dust. Boston has never
witnessed such pageant, for never did a Presi-
dent Of the United States leave that promising
city with such display of the military and
the populace, and with such distinguished
honors, as those of The fugitive Burns return
ing to the service of his master.
Another chapter in the history of the anti
slavery agitatons of this country will be dated
from this premium fugitive slave case The
first conclusion suggested by the issue in this
instance, is this, that if fugitive slave can be
taken away from Boston in the middle Of the
day .na IL, Tho .oosL vr TIE combined forces of
the Massachusetts abolitionists, the daw can be
enforced in any other locality throughout the
North. The abolition traitors made this case
of Burns the test question between the consti-
tuition and ''the higher law" and they must now
fall back to the rant and cant of abolition
speeches and resolutions, for fixed bay onets and
grape shot are constitutional arguments with
which they are wholly unqualified to grapple.
PROFESSIONALLY we shall have a tremendous
abolition uproar against the Fugitive law, from
Boston to Nebraska, from this time for six or
eight months to come We doubt whether the
fire can be kept up longer. And il is likely the
elections for the next Congress, in the Northern
States, may result from this renewed anti-Ne-
braska, and anti-Fugitive Slave law agitation,
in the election of a majority of Northern men,
bers tinctured with anti-savery sentiments or
hampered with anti-slavery pledges or bar
gains. But the history of the agitation which
followed the adjustment of 1850, will, we be-
lieve, be substantially the history of this new
abolition crusade, opened so ostentatiously in
the city ofBoston.
With the passage of the Fugitive law in 1850,
a general howl Of execration went up from
every abolition and free soil convertible in the
North The leaders of the Van Buren, Buffalo
party were as prominent in their threats of
repeal as the most inveterate allies of Seward,
Garrison, Parker, and Greeley. The excite
ment by hard exertions was kept up for q
whole year, with fits and starts of spasmodic
agitations, upon an occasional Jerry rescue, or
the shooting of STAKEHOLDER in the law
full recovery of his servant But the trea-
sonable spirit of these anti-slavery agi-
tators, and their avowed doctrines of inf
