The Democrats of Northampton county, held Their
convention, at Easton, Pa, on Monday 1t had been
supposed the friends of Gov. Reeder would take this
occasion to make a demonstration in his favor, and
pass resolves against the administration on account oil
his removal But it did not happen So Senator
Broadhead, being invited to attend the meeting
made long and forcible address, at the conclusion
of which the meeting passed the following resolves
RESOLVED, That as Democratic citizens Of North
ampton county, we adhere to those republican ana
constitutional principles under which, in the state
and nation, the democracy have so often achieved o
victory, and which have made our country the price
and wonder of the world, developed her resources
increased her commerce, extended her flag, cemeneI
the bonds of her Union, thereby attaining polllca
and commercial position second to none in the rank
OF civilized states.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor of the compromNs
measures of 1850, including the fugitive slave law
and in favor of the Kansas Nebraska acts which re-
peal the Missouri compromise, and which ProVinlEs

It will be remembered that DR.. Mott, distinguish.

Whether the prediction of DR.. Mott was predics ted

p SANTA ANNA AGAIN A FUGITVE.-That most per-

Their There is no inherent power of seIfgoyeInmen in
that miserable country which is fast drifting to bar.
barsm It has already reached that of anarchy. The
real question which the state of our neghborng Re-
public presents to the United States, is very much
like that brought forward by the Emperor Nicholas
in his conversation with the British Ambassador
with regard to Turkey. Mexico is beyond question
a " sick man, and will soon be dead one. Who
is to administer upon his estate? This country does
not want it, and prudence would lead her to avoid 1t
if possible. But is it possible? Will the current OF
events permit her to avoid it? May she not have to
choose between European Protectorate' over Inc
Mexican Territory, or that of the United States
Mexico cannot be governed from within She must
fall to pieces Who is TO pick up the pieces
Will we consent that Louis Napoleon or some other
European despot jealous of our growth shall do so
We think not If the fate of turkey constitutes the
Eastern question, that of Ne xco must soon come to
be regarded as the Western Question, the solution OF
which cannot long be postponed is time that pub
lie attention was directed to it, and that were pre-
pared to look it in the face.

Yesterday we did not know what to make of the
" Gen. Carre," who acting as provisional presi-
dent of Mexico, since the abdication of Santa Anna.
1t turns out to be General Carrera. 1t seems that
while Alvarez is advancing rapidly from the South,
the Northern States also moving but not in unison
with the South The object of the Northern States
appears to be the formation of separate federal
public, with the view to ultimate union with, or
annexation to, this country. Connected with this
North Mexican or Sierra Madre project, are several
volunteers or flbusters from the United States, es-
peciay from Texas, who take the view that the on
ly safety for slavery in Texas is in the organization
of slave States the other side of the Rio Grande
This movement may succeed, OF it may not. We do
not think that under existing circumstances there is
sufficient power in the central government to offer any
efectual resistance to any such scheme, energetcay
undertaken. Nor have we any doubt, that it would
be of advantage to the portion of Mexico to be an
nexed. The question would be whether such annexa.
ton would be to advantage, and whether it could
be effected without danger to the Union. 1t really
seems that instead of annexing new territories we
find it hard enough to get along with what we
have, since territorial government cannot be
organized or new State admitted without excite
ment almost tending to revolution. The Sierra Ma
DIRE States may be annexed to the United States OF
the South" but hardly TO the present Union.
