PREPARING TO WELCOME THE GOVERNOR
The citizens of Easton, Pa, have been making
preparations for hospitable reception of Gov.
Rceder, on his return from the "border ruff
fans" of Kansas. On the occasion of his re-
ception we may expect another speech, and if
Reeder has half the pluck of SoulG he will
make the fur fly from the back of the adj
ministration. Let Marcy be spared, for his
organs say that he is innocent as lamb Of
any hand in the removal of the Governor.
Send an invitation to Marcy.

LITTLE Too FAsr.-The Washington Union
is regaling its readers with series Of disser-
tations on the glories Of the democratic par
ty. The writer is a little too fast Why can't
he wait the results Of the hard and soft con-
ventions at Syracuse? Perhaps they will give
him glory enough for one day

The MEXICAN Observation-Disclosures OF THE
AFFAIR OF SALTILLo.-The news from the Rio
Grande, published in another part Of our pa
per, shows that, in spite of the attempts made
to disguise the fact by the Dictator's journals,
the revolutionists are fast making head in the
North. The defeat at Saltillo is much more
important one than we were first led to sup
pose-two-thrds Of Santa Annals forces under
Guitian and Cruz having been either killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. The battle COM
menced at about eight o'clock A. NJ, on the
22d and lasted until II o'clock A. NJ, next day,
when the Plaza fell into the possession of the
insurgents. The remains of the government
forces consisting of about 200 infantry and
about 250 of the Dragons Of the Guard and of
" the Guides, fled towards San Luis Potosi,
but were holly pursued by mounted riflemen,
who succeeded in completely dispensing them
and in capturing about $50, 900 in specie be-
sides large amount Of stores and ammuni-
ton.
The moral effect of this victory will be dis
astrous to Santa Annals arms 1t will rally
round the standard Of instruction all those
who are wavering and undecided. The fede-
ralists seem to have men Of energy and capa-
city at their head, whilst the Dictator's minions
betray all the weakness Of purpose and vacil-
laton which usually accompany the conscious
ness Of a bad cause. In such state of things
it is impossible that the struggle can be of long
duration. The government forces, instead of
being able to assume the offensive, are every
where driven within the protection of strong
holds; and too weak even to hold these against
the valor and impetuosity of their enemies,
there will soon not be an adherent of the Die
tator left in the whole Of the Northern de-
partments
As to Woll, his case seems hopeless. Shutup
in Matamoros with a force of only LOO or
$500 men, and rendered hateful to the sur
rounding population by the unnecessary harsh
ness of his measures, he cannot possible resist
the overwhelming numbers with which vi
daurri is advancing against him. Should he
be taken, the nearest tree will probably end o
career marked by but too many incidents of
sanguinary brutality.

is a wide difference in popular government
