GERMAN EMIGRATION TO MExICo-Santa Anna
has spent six years in puzzling his brain to dis
cover the reason why he was beaten in the war
with the United States. He has at length made
up his mind that our victory was due to the
foreign sqldiers-especally the Germans-who
served in our army. Accordingly, Mr.. Rafael,
late Consul to New York, has been directed to
proceed to Germany to procure large German
immigration to Mexico: and q considerable sum
of money has been placed in his hands for the
purpose No one, we presume, will suspect
Santa Anna of importing farmers or manufac-
turers from Germany. Fighting men are the
article he requires. 1t is quite rational that
while Messrs. Ames are manufacturing the two
hundred guns with which the future Emperor Of
Mexico intends to take the field, he should send
to Europe for men to work them. We wish Mr.
Rafael every success in his task. And before
he goes, we put it to the common sense of the
American people whether it be not the climax
of impudence and wickedness to ask us, at q
time when we are hourly exposed to be involved
in the European imbroglio, to take twenty mil
lions out Of our treasury and give them to Santa
Anna in order that he may buy cannon at
Springfield, and import German soldiers from
Bremen

IMPORTANT FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL MOVE
MENr-CuBA COPPER MNEs-A .oini stock as
ISOLATION has been, as we are informed, or
ganized in this city, under the corporation act
of this State Of February II, 164s, with a
capital of several hundred thousand dollars,
with provision for its increase to millions, for
the purpose Of working the famous copper
mines of the island of Cuba, SO soon as it is ac
quired by the United States; and which asso-
citation will, doubtless, render "active and ma
terial aid " in attaining such acquisition. The
association has been kept somewhat secret
from the public generally, lest the representa-
tive of the Spanish government at Washington
should interpose his efforts with President
Pierce to enforce the neutrality acts in such
manner as would obstruct its operations. We
learn that q large amount of the certificates of
stock are being disposed of in neighboring cities
and throughout the country, and that even in
Washington, under the nose of the President
and Secretary Of State, and whilst Congress is
in session, some have been offered for sale or as
security for loans sought to be obtained. 1t
may be that it is one of the financial bubbles or
swindles SO often got up about Wall street.
The following is copy of one of the certifi-
Gates Of stock to which we refer =

New YORK MONEY TO COUNTRY POLITICIANS
Mr.. Breckenridge, a member for Kentucky in
Congress, compelled Mr.. Cutting, during the
recent squabble in the House, to disclose the
fact that at the last election in Kentucky Mr..
Breckenridge was hard pressed and procured
aid from New York in the shape of purse Of
$500 which was made up for him by political
friends here. Mr.. Breckenridge did not attempt
to deny the truth of this statement We have
q regular practice for country politicians to
send to New York for money to help them in
their contests Black mail has been system
atically levied on New York politicians by
democrats, wings and abolitionists in every
section of the country; not single Presiden-
tial election has taken place within the last
quarter Of century that these country gentle
men have. not sent here humbly sueing for the
sinews Of war. And it has happened more than
once that the first thing these recipients of our
bounty do when they arrive at Washington, is
to abuse New York. to fight tooth and nail
against every measure that is calculated to
benefit our interests and to say all the ill of us
they can in order to curry favor with their own
constituents. This having now become the
settled practice, we ought to consider whether
it would not be well for us to alter our con-
duct. We might either close our purse alto
gether, which would be very well in its way;
or we might follow the example of the late
John Jacob Aston who seldom refused begging
petitions from politicians, but gave with equal
the former, being, as he said, rich men, his
donations were usually moderate; but to the
poor democrats he always gave handsomely
John Jacob Astor was wise man in his day
and generation.
