voted republic. There is no mistake in this
fact So, among the first acts of the new Gov
eminent win be, in all probability, to throw
open wide the door to indiscriminate emigra-
ton from the United States Of the North.
Those who were bent on sacking Cuba, and
those who would have joined Kinney's forsy
on Central America but for the frmness Of
this Government, and tens of thousands on
thousands more will not be slow in accepting
the invitation of the Alvarez party, to Ameri-
canize Mexico.
Under such circumstances, there is no Law
which makes it the duty Of or grants the power
to the government of the United States to lift
a finger to prevent such emigration as we de-
scribe; and those who know the history of
Texas may safely come to conclusions in ad
vance, as to what is likely to be the grand
finale Of all these things in spite of any and all
wishes to the contrary which may ill the
breasts Of the President and his constitutional
advisers.
Experience has proved that Mexico cannot
exist as Spanish republic, or indeed as a
Spanish American despotism; as the govern
ment in the latter case must rely on its troops,
who, officers and men, cannot be prevented
from deserving any side for ono that promises
to pay better. Thorough and interminable
anarchy can only be prevented there by its
Americanization. This fast doubtless stares
the leaders of the revolution in the face, and
they will act on it speedily, or they have
changed their views of the fitness of things
amazingly since General Quitman held the
capital of the Atzecs as the United States
military governor thereof.
The difficulty of knowing what to do with it,
almost alone prevented its being held when in
our possession during the Mexican war; The
indisposition Of our people to 20 vast pro-
consular acquisition of course had its weight,
also, in turning the scale against keeping Mex
leo as dependency of this Republic, which
we well know was being balanced in the minds
Of the American Government at the time to
which we refer
We can see no other solution of the problem
than that indicated above-first, an indepen.
Dent government there under the auspices of
our countrymen, somewhat like that of indie
pendent Texas, and eventual absorption by
this government. All this is to be the work OF
fate-of Providence--against which it will be
useless to struggle, or no lessons of wisdom are
to be drawn from the history of the nations
that have gone before us.
A Change Of Proprietors.-We hear that
the Hon. Bayard Clark, of New York, (now in
this city, has, perhaps through others, pur
chased out all the shares in the Organ news
paper at Sl00 per share cash down, and the
balance, about $500 per share, in months
without interest. Our impression is that the
papers in this transfer will be ready to be
signed this afternoon. At the meeting of the
Organ association on Tuesday night last,
Messrs Ellis and Busey are said to have op-
posed the transfer earnestly, but were voted
down.
II is our opinion that the money by which
the purchase was made came originally from
the pocket of George Law, who figures SO ex-
tsnsively in political financiering-his fingers
being at the work in the recent Hard conyen-
ton at Syracuse, ON the 2Sth and 10Th inst,
in the Binghamton Know Nothing convention
on the 10Th and Both inst, and here in this
matter Tuesday last, yesterday, and to-day
We congratulate the city shareholders on
getting out Of their speculation without loss-a
rare occurrence, indeed, with those who buy
stock in newspaper enterprises without being
actually engaged in conducting them. We
hear further that, by way of inducing the
transfer, it is agreed that the old stockholders
may buy back at par, if the Organ wins the
public Printing-in horn, we fancy
An Erroneous Rumor.-Information to be
relied on reached Washington this morning
fatty contradicting the story that the yellow
fever had broken out ON the u. s. Ship St.
Lawrence, the temporary receiving ship at the
Norfolk station to which the recruits collected
there for the service were sometime since
transferred from the old and unseaworthy ship
of-the-line, Pennsylvania.
Commander Ellison, U. s. n, who went
out not more than three or four months since
to the coast Of Africa, in command of the
sloop-of-war jamestown, has returned to the
United States on account of ill. He brings
dispatches from the Commodore of the African
coast squadron.
