GEN. BYNuM's WLMiSGroN SpEEcu.-The Will
mngton Journal thus notices the extraordinary
speech delivered by Gen. Bynum, one evening last
week, before the X. Ms of that place:
"The meeting addressed by General John Gray By
mum, who spoke length WcundeStaud that Cen
era Bynum referred to Free Suffrage "buggaboo"-
charged President Pierce with the responsibility the anti
slavery cxcnent-endorsed word and syllable of his
celebrated Western Addresslad confidence in the hon
esy of Democratic leaders, and repeated the talk thereon
that has been talked by opponent of the Democratic
party from the first The General did not to take
thing by his motion, generally speaking"
The General no doubt suffered his zeal, and his
disposition to create sensation politically, to get
the better of his discretion. The last place in the
State to endorse such doctrines as those contained
in the Western Address, is Wilmington New
Hanover is one of the largest saveholding Coun-
ties and the largest tax paying County in the State
Gen. Bynum has damaged his party in that commu-
nifty, as the vote in August will show. :
The General says he "has no confidence in the
honesty of Democratic leaders," Such a declara-
ton, from such quarter, is distressing.

rxSsxss PROM SPAIN AVID ENGLAND.


And not only ia the integrity OF the Mexican 70
public thus neRaced by Internal foes, but y
u also menaced by enemies from without. Spain
is preparing another armada to land upon her
shores and 20 destroy her nationality, on the pre-
tence that she does not pay her debts; and Engani
has manifesteda disposition TO conpcate affairs still
more on the oretence of an outrage committed oy
the government on British subject Thus is poor
Mexico torn, distracted and menaced on all sides.
now THEY ARE TO BE NET.
Comonfort, however, is not blind 10 the dangers
which threaten the country and ia said TO have pre-
pared scheme which win not only carry the war
into Africa but also is certain to involve this coun
try in the contest as an ally Of Mexico. This plan
is, as we indicated in an article Friday last to
throw an invading force into the Island OF Cuba,
and wrest it from the Castilian crown. The plan
appears feasible for the garrison of the faith
full island is to be used to operate against Mexico
and few thousand flibusters in concert with the
disafecsed Of the island, would therefore suffice 30
overthrow the existing order Of things.
Comonfort is existing troops for this pur-
pose on both sides Of the Rio Grande, so that
descent upon Mexico will be followed by counter
descent upon Cuba. There are now in this city
number of iustrious MISUNDERSTANDING General
de la Vega, General Blanco, General Uraga, Senior
Rafael Rafael, and Others who, though some Of
them may have been exiled for their hostility to
Come Mort, are now cooperating with him in helping
him to accomplish that master stroke Of policy
which we have just alluded to. 1t is therefore quite
evident, as we stated in the first paragraph Of this
article, that Mexico is approaching another crisis in
her history We can see but one grand result Of it,
and that is the annexation Of the country in whole
or in part to the republic Of the United States And
for that the times are propitious.
