such good material from which to make a

WE have often observed the change
wrought in character by sudden elevation
TO fortuue, Office or the attainment Of notorie>
ty. For some reason, the editor Of the
Shasta Courier, since the publication Of the
first number Of shis paper, has been unceas-
ing in his praises Of the Doctor. lie has re-
presented him az possessing the learning and
skill Of "A Galen in his profession; the polish
Of Chesterfield in his intercourse with the
world; the rare gift Of an elegant and correct
taste about things generally; and above all
sounded the praises Of 1rask for lis eminent
convivial proeliyitios. It is true, the Doctor
is the prince Of good fellows; but we really
think there is more partaty in the Coufier's
account Of him, than a neutral pepper should
indulge. The readers Of that paper, who are
unacquainted with our grave editor, and have
noticed the thrilling eulogics by his contem-
porary, must certainly regard him as one Of
the most remarkable characters.
We fear that compliment and ranecyrc
have been 50 frequently and cztravacantly
layished rpon him Of late, as to excite unne-
cossary vanity, ard induce him To tarsl
doubtless expecting his widespread fame
viii ensure an enthusiastic reception and a
tremendous sensation wherever he may 90.
and that he will be feted, petted and honored
as George -. Prentice WAS. during 2 recent
visit to Arkanfas. We hope he may.
Ia announcing the names of Douglas ana
Bigler as our isvorites for the next Presidon-
tial struggle, we have not been influenced
by partisan motives, nor pecunary expeeta-
tons. Editing paper independent in
everything ahd neutral in nothing, we feel
at liberty, and consider il cur duty, to sup
port the best men, without regard to what
political sect they may belong. The fact that
they are both democrats, good aud true,
should not be an objection, for experience has
taught US, that members Of that party are
much oftener elevated to Office by the dis
eliminating ror Populi, than Of any other po.
liiical organization. Could We have fallen
upon name among the Wings, deserving, in
cur opinion, the same confidence. and pos
sessing equal qualities, fitness ana merit, our
desire to eoncliate, aud our love Of harmo-
ny, would have induced US to select one from
that party Bot unfortunately, we know Of
no such individual. Some may think pro
per discretion has not been used in bringing
them out SO soon. To this we reply, delays
breed dangers should be taken by the

BALTIMORE, Wednesday, Aug.

BALTIMORE, wednesday, Aug. /, 1879.
New Orleans papers of Thursday have been re-
ceved here and give the details of a months later
news from Mexico.
The principal feature of the intelligence is propo-
sition by Santa Anna to grant Constitution or or
anic law TO the people All the papers were discuss
ing tie question, but only in abstract. One of the
resolutions adopted by the Council of State on the
subject declares that the Republican representative
form ought to be adopted.
senor Don Luis Rivas il stated 10 have been up
pointed Minister to Washington, and he was to leave
Yea Cruz shortly in the steamer ltIrbide
Doubts, however, expressed a. to bis destination
being Washington.
The relations between the American Minister and
Mexican Government continued sus )ended, owing to
Mr. Gsdsden quarrel with the Mexican Minister for
Foreign Affairs
The news Ia relation TO the movements OF the Revo
lutionsis is contradictory usual and quite unrela
bic.
In the case Of the illibustering bark Magnolia
seized at Mobile Judge Gayle has decided that the
bark end on board are not forfeited TO the Gov

MEXICO, Tuesday, July 10, 1855.

The "Oriziba" has not been announced, aud
following.
For the last few days we have observed indi-
cat. rs of change in political affalrs here, and
have little doubt THAI the cloud which has 20
lopg been gathering over Santa An.a's head is
about to burst. HE fall appears nov selr at
hand, for toe Revolution has extended to chs
town of Orizabs, State of Vera Cruz, where the
garrison of 400 men is headed by one of sc-
knowledged courage asd perseverance 1t is
said that a near relative of Mrs. Santa Anna Is
engaged in favor of Revolution there
Santa Anna is anxious to leave this city, and
probably will do so soon; 10 which case Ge neral
Csrrera will take charge ad interim of the affairs
of Government, or possibly General Vega. All
who have business with tAe Government are
hurrying to get their affairs settled. II by any
accident Santa Anna should be able to resist the
impending storm, his eventual foil is certain
and not far distant, because the present STATE of
things is too violent 20 last much longer. The
papers, however, still coatlnue 10 speak of the
organic iaic, and we are in doubt as TO whether
Santa ANA wishes to make his escape or desires
to get away to avoid the responsibility that will
attend the making of the said organic law or
Constitution; but it is fair TO infer from the
existing state of affairs that he is at last forced
to acknowledge he has no head TO govern
though he evidently desires to save the one he
has.
Don - Vidal has been appointed Mexican
Minister at Washingto in place Of Mr.. AlmOnte,
who has been recalled. Mr.. Vidal is the step
father of Mrs. Santa Anna, and we hear he has
received $50, 600 in advance on account of his
salary and expenses. a brother Of Mrs. S. A.
has been appointed Minister to Paris.
The military executions published amounted
in June last past to 40 persons, but the real
number is much greater.
