LATER FROM MExICO-Ne1c Orleans, Dec.
by the steamer Texas, from Vera Cruz,
on the 8th, we have dates from the city of Mex
leo of the 9Th. A conspiracy had been discov-
cred, having for It's object to displace Alvarez.
and make Uraga President. Uraga, Padre
Miranda, and Col. Ossollo, have been arrested.
This affair caused great excitement. Col. Ro-
BILE has been appointed to succeed Gen. Al
monte as Minister to the United States. 1t Was
rumored that Gen. COmontort will retire from
the Ministry. The church is opposed to the pres
ent Government, and things are in general con-
fusion.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
After the reading of the Journal,
Mr. Walker, of Alabama, rose to personal
explanation, called forth by comments upon his
course in the Hall, by the Mobile Aaegister,
wherein he and the Southern Know Nothings
are charged with triaing in the Hall, and be-
ing anxious to get an equivalent in some way
for sustaining the South.
Having read the extracts to which we refer
above, Mr.. w. remarked that his small party
had been universally maligned, and that it had
been said that the Democrats were the only
party acting here on principle. He thought
their principle q bad one, and explained that
the enactment of their caucus resolution had
forced the Southern Know Nothings from union
with them. He thought that Mr.. Richardson
richly deserved the compliment of the nomina-
ton he had received. The position of the
Northern Know Nothings had alone prevented,
so far, the election of an Abolition Speaker
as, had they voted for Richardson, the union of
the North against him would be more complete.
He did not admit that the Democrats are the
only national party here; as but fifteen North
ern men, only one of whom came from North
of Pa, and portion of the Southern men, did
not make them the exclusively national party.
He claimed that the American party are equal
ly national, and explained his understanding
of the manner in which the Democrats had
achieyed their late victories at the South. As
long as the insulting resolution of the Demo
cratic caucus Stood he could not see how it
could be fairly expected that the Southern
Know Nothings would vote for Mr.. Richardson
Mr.. Jones, of Pennsylvania, held that but
for the fact that Know Nothingism was uni
versally understood in Pennsylvania to mean
Abolitionism, Mr.. Richardson would now be
receiving seventeen instead of six votes from
that State. The resolution of the caucus was
not intended to be insulting to any party, but
merely as an expression of Democratic national
sentiment.
Mr.. Allison said that he endorsed the implied
idea OF Mr. Jones, of Pennsylvania, that the
popular sentiment of Pennsylvania, as represent
ed here, is in condemnation of the Nebraska
act and he declared Mr.. J. to be right in say
ing that the Know Nothings of that State are
as much opposed to the Nebraska act as the
Free Soil party of that State, and had united
with them to send here Anti-N ebraska members
instead of National Democrats
Mr.. Walker, resuming the floor, argued at
length to show the injustice of the position of
the Democrats in mounting their caucus plat
form, which was done as a mere party move
ment, without designing thereby to get the con-
troll of the organization OF the House.
Mr.. W. also commented with great force on

from the country planters, or country resi-
dents. We quote
fhere IS no danger, and in fact those who
oppose the change know well enough that there
is no danger. They are not thinking Of that,
but they say it would be lowering the crest of
the State, TO change law at the request Of q
foreign Government, that somebody would say
we were backing out, &c.
There is another side to this argument. that
it is well not TO overlook. This being forever
fretfully upon guard when there is no apprecia-
BILE danger, this seeming admission that we are
always on the tenter-hooks Of expectation OF
some mysterious and terrible catastrophe Is
it not sort of justification of the everlasting
fear of the enemies of Slavery, that We have
no confidence in the stability of our institu-
lions, and no trust in the loyalty of cur serYile
populations?
" Yet we do not believe that there is on the
face of the earth dependent population more
trusted or more worthy to be trusted than the
slaves of South Carolina. Why should we.
then counterfeit fears that nobody really enter
tains? Why enforce harsh laws, where the
harshness is equally repugnant TO those who
suffer and to those who witness the iniiiction
TO counterfeit fear ought certainly to be the
last resort Of brave and magnanimous peo-
pie"

A telegraphic despatch from Berlin, Novem-
Der 10Th, gives an extract from the Kings
speech at the opening of the Chambers.
"Gentlemen," said he, "the conflict between
several European Powers is not yet AT an end.
Our fatherland, however, continues to be the
abode of peace. | trust in God that it will remain
so, and that shall succeed in preserving the
honor and standing of Prussia without inhicting
upon our country the heavy sacrifices of war
/ am proud to say that know of no people so
well prepared for war or more ready to submit
to sacrifices than my own, wherever their honor
or interests are really in danger. This proud
consciousness imposes upon me the duty, while
abiding faithfully by obligations already con-
tracted, not to enter into further engagements
the political and military liabilities Of which are
not to be estimated beforehand. In the attitude
assumed by Prussia, Austria, and Germany, be-
hold valid security for the maintenance of
that independent position which is equally con.
lasting peace, and compatible with well-wishes

Painful rumors reach us every day oftbe seiz-
ing of emigrsnts and travellers by the Indians on
the plains, and we should not be surprised if ter
minated in a long aud bloody war. The United
States troops passed this place on their way mp
the river to Fort Pierre about six weeks ago.
but Notwithstanding this, rumOr says that their
entrance instead of alaying the excitement has
only tended to increase it.
Nothing short of 10 coo men can do anything
with the Indians on the plains; an army which
could only be supported here at an enormous
cost
II is generally rumOred that Fort Laramie is
in the hands of the Indians, although there are
contradictory statements ahoat The belief at
this time is that il is not in their possession.
company of Norman emigrantS who crossed
the river at this place some few weeks ago. en-
route for Salt Lake, are said 10 have been all cap
tured, as pioneer informed us that he saw party
of Indians returning to camp, and they had in their
possession number of horses and mules, beside
some prisoners, consisting OF acomen and eattdren,
all corresponding with those who crossed here
few weeks ago.
There is also some stir south of the Platte re-
garding the discovery of gold which has lately been
made on a small stream called Weeping Water.
We learn from most authentic sources that it has
been found in number of places on that stream,
and also that party discovered place where 1t
had been worked for number Of ycarS bcfere. Who
can tell bu, we may yet have California right in
our midst, or something richer The future can
only answer.
Ii has been very dry here this Summer-so much
so that the crops are suffering very much, and
there will not be grain enough in the Territory for
the immigration if we do not soon have rain. The
corn is suffering more than the smaller grain. and
the leaves are drying and rolling up like segars.
The Missouri River is getting very low at this
place. ard it is feared that the Government Boats
which carried up the troops few weeks ago viii
not be able 10 return again this summer How
ever if they do not they will have fine time while
sojournng with the Indians at Fort Pierre;

SYRACUSE, Tuesday, July 81, 1855.
The Agricultural Society of this County has
this day taken step which will give perma-
rency to the organization and increased eff
cheney to its operations for many years to come.
The matter TO which | alude is the formation
Of Stock Company, consisting of members OF
the Society who have made subscriptions to q
fund for the purpose of purchasing suitable piece
Of ground, in q convenient location for the uses Of
the Society. To effect this object, frequent meet
ings have been held IN this city for several months
past and the contamination so deyOutly wished WAS
to-day attained. The Committees deputized to
canvass the towns Of the county reported that
they had procured subscriptions as follows:
Camilus, $500; Cicero, $3.50 Clay, 81
eco; DE Witt, $500; Elbrdge, 81 100; Geddes,
$3.50 la Fsvette, $500 Onondagua, $500;
Ctisco, $500 Pompey, 800; Salina, $3.50 skan-
eatelas, $500 City of Syracuse, $500. No re-
turns were made from fabius, Lysander, Manl:us,
Tully, Van Buren,, Marcellus, and Spaford,
but it is thought that considerable amounts
have been raised in several Of them. The
amount reported Gas abOve) foots total of
S9,050-beside promises for several hun
dred dollars if needed. The amount wanted
was $4,000. The reports from the towns were
received by the meeting with much satisfaction,
and Committee was Immediately authorized to
select a location in pursuance Of the plan. This
Committee, during brief recess of the meetings
concluded bargain with Mr.. Rand for ten acres
Of land at $500 per acre, located just without the
southern bounds of the city, in the town OF Onon-
daga and a mile and half from the Central Kali
road Depot. The site is very convenient aud
accessible one, and is estimated TO be worth one
third more than the amount il costs the Company.
To thorough understanding of this plan, 1t
must be known that this Stock Company retain
possession Of the land, and give the Society tho
privilege of buying il Of them at the purchase
price with taxes and interest added at any time
before the expiration Of five years. If the Society
do not purchase within FIVE years the Company
will be at liberty to sell the lard and divide the
proceeds The Society agree to pay the taxes and
interest on the purchase money for FIVE years for
the use Of the land.
TIE Society to-day resolved to raise $1,000 to
build fences and the necessary structures for their
use on this land these they are to be allowed To
remove in case they do not purchase the land
Members from the towns pledged themselves tn
raise twO-thirdf Of the $1,000 needed by procur-
ing 200 liie-mem bers TO the Society at $40 eaeh'
