was written four or five weeks previous to tn
presidential election, and hostile, cynical ant
contumelious spirit pervades the entire article
NJ. Gaillardet does not think that the hour O
separation Of the Union has yet sounded TIL,
people of the western States would not suffer it
for them it would be equivalent to continental
blockade. The separation will not happen I'm
til '*the Unsuitable republic shall have absorbed
all, or part, OF Mexico and Central America
He says 'tsacerdotal influence is no where il
the clvillsed world more active and potent thar
in the United States,'' and thinks ssthe repub
lie is as much a theocracy as a democracy
Rousseau said, democracy is engy," and this
truth has, of late years, been exempfed three
times in the United States, in the choice OF
Harrison, Polk and Pierce" The writer ap-
pears to be confirmed fatalist, as lie informs
his readers that, sit was great idea that of the
Egyptians, when they figured humanity as a
serpent biting his own tail; blind instruments,
as we are, of an unknoam Almighty power we
nave in vicious circle, and frequently when
we think that We advance, we only turn" We
do not know but that Mons. Gaillardet, HIM
self, is living illustration of the Egyptian the
DRY. Many years ago, becoming disconnected
with the manner in which France was govern
ed, he emigrated to the United States, where
he in few years grew fat and realised a for
tune; but not being pleased with republicanism
as it is practised in this country, he returned to
France when Louis Napoleon got possession of
he government Still he was disconnected,
Kings would not work exactly to suit his fancy,
md he hurried back to the United States, where
lie can unmolested fret, growl and grumble at
republican institutions as long and as loud as
he pleases: and when another revolution takes
'lace IN France, perhaps the Bourbons will be |
ecaled to the throne, and he can return and
nd his days in happiness under the rule Of
hose he former detested.
A Washington letter-writer states that the
resent precarlous state Of affairs between Spain
nd Mexico, together with the unstable condi-
on of the latter government, has of late en-
aged the serious attention of president Pierce
i'd his cabinet, and that it is more than proba-
e that secretary Marcy may be called on for
lie exercise Of all his skill. If Spain, aided
Y Great Britain Or France, should take a no.
IN to commence hostlaities against Mexico,
ey might attempt also to bring her back to the
nbraces of her ancient mother, and found up
the ruins of the present puerile republic P
onarchial government, to the utter Inhibition r
the hopes of our 'progressive' friends of ex- il
ldlng the area of freedom, and of civilisino il
d christianising the land of the Montezumas. c.
view of the probability of an attempt being p
de OF planting monarchial institutions upon O
+ south western border, it becomes the duty tt
the executive to keep most vigiant watch O.
ar the tlicksters of the old world and the re- W
utionists chieftains of Mexico, and stand pre- til
ed to nip all such projects in the bud Mex &C
in the hands of Spain and France, or of CT
lin and Great Britain, would be used up in W
C less than no time, and the question with G
Americans would be whether to stand by tif
see two old and powerful nations on one es
t is both poor and powerless, or consider the it
1t free affair, and allow the flibusters bv
axe hand. We perceive that ''Ion,'' the wi
informed correspondent Of the Baltimore of
i, also alludes to the same matter. pc
