of his place, and would most willingly part
with it if he could find proper and authorized |
hands into which to surrender it. The great !
objection TO him is that he is too much the |
antipodes Of Santa Anna. In other words, he
is too humane, too gentle, too unselfsh to
please the tastes of the Mexicans, now trained
to the highest seasoned condiments in the way
Of despotic and sanguinary government. Car
rera, it must be said, has SO far acted faithful
ly, and discharged honorably the trust reposed
in him. He has convened the chiefs of the re-
volution to meet on the 10th inst, at the town
of Dolores, and he avows himself ready to
abide by their decision.
There are several candidates named for the
Presidency. The most prominent among them
are Carrera, Ceballos and Comonfort. The
latter seems to be the most popular, and to
combine the most chances of success A new
revolution has been also projected, with the
object of raising Gen. Blanco--Salta Annals
minister Of war--to the Presidency; but it was
discovered in time, and Gen, Blanco has been
recalled to the capital, and deprived Of his
command. Altogether, our sister republic is
at the present moment greater object of
sympathy than she has been since the revolu-
ton was initiated.
VINO DESERTED THE OLD WING PARTY FIRST !?
1t is about as dangerous for modern politi-
clans to run backwards as it was for the cars
on the Camden Railroad. Mr. Seward said in
the Senate in 1850: q" will do the whig party
the justice or the injustice to say that l have
been member of it all my active life; and
will do it the great disservice to say, that no
matter what may happen, and who may put me
under the ban, shall be the last to leave it, how
ever individuals may disown me or the princi-
pies l maintain" Strangely enough ex-Go-
vernon Hunt is still smarting under the bast-
ing he has received from the Seward organs
for adhering to the wing party-the same par
| ty that Mr.. Seward was to "be the last to
leave" George Evans, of Maine, who was
once the financial organ of the wings in the
Senate of the United States, and who predicted
that the tariff of 1916 would not yield reve
nue. exceeding twenty-five millions of dollars
|
by the Tribune, is now, for clnging to the old
organization, to his old friends to the princ-
pies of the wing party, an old fogy, an ab-
stractionist, a doughface and rumite."
In 1850 Mr.. Seward, besides avowing his ad-
hesion, for all time to come, to the wing party,
from which he would not be driven, with Hale,
and Wade, and Chase, and Sumner, and all the
abolitionists, was opposed to the Missouri COM
promise. They would not have the arbitrary
line of 36 deg. 80 min. as the boundary be-
tween free and slave territory-now, they look
upon the restoration of the compromise as the
saving ordinance of their creed, and upon the
wing party as adjuncts of the slave oligar-
chy." Being the first instead of the last to
leave it, it does however, seem very cruel in
Mr.. Seward to compel his organs to castigate
Washington Hunt and George Evans for re-
naming true to the faith But converts are
always enthusiastic, and very imprudent too.
They are permitted to wipe off the past in
consideration of the new and better life into
which they are born-and this is great privi
lege to the Seward politicians, who can't pass
year without being disturbed by the appari-
i
speech, like that Of Seward noted above. Pub
lie sentiment too, towards such men is very in
dulgent; mainly because neither the people
nor themselves believe word of what they
utter.
On a previous occasion Mr.. Seward was
thoroughly welded to ant-masonry, and in the
| Senate of New York made his last will and
testament, bequeathng to his children the
blessed fruits of his early political labors in
that vineyard. He then seemed to doubt
whether he should have anything else to give
but was consoled by the glorious reflection that
such patrmony was sufficient to enrich the
progeny of any one man.
He labors now to disnter the Missouri CON-
promise, and to form joint stock company
for that purpose, of all the odds and ends of
the old parties, and especially of the one he
was determined to be the last to leave"
We fear this operation will scarcely turn out
better than his anti-masonic enterprise. The
| signs of the times indicate rank rebellion
against the projected restoration. Practical
men believe that if the body of the old thing
is exhumed it will stink in the nostrils" of
all not favored with an immediate association
with the negroes, besides requiring miracle
even greater than that by which Weed trans
formed Timothy Monroe into ga good enough
Morgan till after election" to give it vitality
and energy And then, again, the form and
the life being restored, how is the illegitimate
bantling to maintain character outside of
the Tribune office and the free love circles and.
perhaps, in bigamatc Mormondon? These
things ought to be thought of, for if the Mis-
souri, bastard gets back into the world only to
be neglected, and the object Of scorn and con.
tempt, the poor thing will surely end its life
by violence, or be laid aside as before, by its
present friends, by putting another California
