MExICo-Accounts from Mexico state that the Government firmly adhere to the plan of disposiug of the estates of the Church. If the present occupants of the land do not choose to take it, it will be sold to the highest bidder. The value of the landed property thus taken from the control of the clergy will, it is sup posed, exceed three hundred millions of dol lars. The discussion of the new constitution is actively going forward

Buchanan and the New Orleans
 Delta.

We are not accustomed to quoting the opin- ions of paper whose principles we think so little of as we do of those of the New Orleans Delta Its course towards the democratic can- didate for the Presidency is unaccountably strange! While it thinks MT. Buchanan is the only candidate who can stay the onward march of black repubicanism, it still never suffers an opportunity to pass to give him and his friends thrust. For southern paper, its course is unaccountably strange.
 | But since the Gazette has quoted the Delta in behalf of Fillmore, we will give an article 1 from it upon the same subject To this article we invite the attention of all Know Nothings- particularly the Arkansas State Gazette and | Democrat In 1t will be found the truth in re- gard to Buchanan, Fillmore and Fremont's chances of success-wth this single exception, the Delta gives Fillmore chance for Delaware Since Senator Claytons public opposition to Fillmore, he has lost all chance for Delaware Fillmore will not, and cannot, carry sirgle State in the Union.
 The following is the editorial of the Delta will the editors of the Gazette read and pon- der if?

 The Missouri democrats have triumphed over both the Know Nothings and Bentonites, and so glorously have they trumphed in the State election, they have forced the Benton electoral ticket to abandon the feld The Ben ton ticket has withdrawn and declared in favor of the regularly nominated democratic ticket for presidential electors.
 Everything seems to be working to the ad vantage of Buchanan and Breckinrdge Eve ry State contes. in the south has been decided for the democrats, while in the north we hear nothing but the din and tread of busy organi- zation. All over the country the talent and patriotism of the land are rallying to our stan- dard. In our opinion, next November will record a democratic triumph scarcely parallel ed by that four years ago of President Pierce.

1Iopement and Stupendous HA.ol SM indie in Nadisou O. Ala

"A
 The community of Madison county was sud- denly startled by the elopement of John E. Townsend with the tep-daughter of his over- seer, on Friday night, the 25th of July. and the discovery of the extensve frauds he has commit ted--taking with him, it is supposed, cash funds to the amount of over one hundred thousand dollars belonging to the assets of the estate of his uncle Edmul Townsend, of which he was the O. -admlnlstrator as also funds obtained from two commission houses in Huntsville, in drafts to the amount of S35,OOO or S4O, OOO-besides contracting sundry debts about Huntsville, leav- Ing hls wlie and childen, and all his property. growing crop etc, except two negroes Attach ments up to Monday 18th, to the amount of SlZo,OOO, had been placed in the hands of the Sher1t, and had been levied on his property. It has been matter of much speculation. as to the motive which influenced Townsend to thus abscond He was not in dcbt-his proner- ty that he has left is worth, it is said very near the amount for which it has been attached and he was the heir, in prospectu of all of Sam'l Iownsend's property-(es estimated at S2OOOOO) -besldes other legacies in prospect. So that the only advantage he has apparently gained Tn his situation by the operation is the "gal''- boon rather costly to him anyhow, as it is said he bought $7OO worth of jewelry to deck her of with, Tn Huntsville, a day or two before he started. Apparently to the public there is no motive for his elopement, nor is it known which way he has gone. If he had intended to pursue planting, the only business he knows anything about, he would have taken his ne groes and gone southwest But we incline to thnk his object is some secluded spot, where the chances for discovery will be very few, and where he can live on his money in seclusion.- Ahtens Herald Auq S.

Know Nothing Tricks

The Know Nothings, aware of the desperate condition of the "order,' are trying to dignify Mir. Fillmore with a whig nomination. For this purpose they meet together in conventions, style themselves old line whigs, and proceed through the farce of indorsing Mr. Fillmore- This trick to deceive the honest old line whies and to whistle them off from the support of Mr. Buchanan, we have before exposed We now call attention to what the Louisville Cou- rier, an able od line a0hig paper, says of it, Read it, old line whigs and then act for your- selves:
 "Some of the whig Fillmore Know Noth ings at the east are hard at work trying to get up whig national convention at Baltimore in September. Its ia Know Nothing trick through out and will fail to do Fillmore the good hoped for. Consistent and honest old-line whirs have nothing to do with the movement It is the desperate resort of adesperate set of scheming political rascals, who would, if they could. tie the revvins body of whiggery to the defunct and sinking carcass of Know Nottingham

Gov. Conway Leads the Ticket.


 Gouer1aor Cona0ay leads tbe democratic ticket in Arhansas. As he was the one against whom the opposition directed all their efforts-as he was the candidate whom they desired and hop ed to defeat most, this fact will be gratifying to his friends as well as mortifyng to his ene- mics.
 Gov. Conway's majority over Yell, 12,723 Greenwood's and Warreu's combin- ed majority in the northern and southern districts over Thomson and Fowler, 12372 Conway leads the democratic ticket by 351 What a commentary is this upon the abuse heaped upon Gov. Conway during the last i've or six years. The people know and appreciate him. They have reelected him to fill the ex- ecutive chair four years longer, and they have reelected him by majority unprecedented in modern political contests.
 As for Gen. Yell, he has made no run at all he run worse in those counties where he made his speeches. From the outset, it was the determination of the people to sustain Gov. Conway, and wherever they listened to Gen. Yell theirdetermnation was only strengthened. Nine times nine cheers for Gov. Elias N. Conway

Fremont and Fillmore.


 The followisg brief letter from a subscriber contains some very pertinent queries and sug- gestous. Our correspondent is no doubt right in supposing that there are persons in the south who really prefer Fremont and Buchanan, and would be perfectly willing to to come under the despotsm of the "nigger worshppers,' ,'' no matter by whom led But for the sake of south crn manhood and decency, we trust they are | few and far between and we will not let our selves doubt that those traitors and cravens amongst us who "could not be kicked out of the Union,' will, if the occasion come for chat event, be kicked vigorously and expedIously out of the south. w. would suog~ot to the writer that tbfs i,' e@ia!e e..as tbeir ooI9f5AWth ' certas changes from de,uocracy to Llack re- laocanism is to strengthen Mr Fillmore in the south; but the tendency of such a course is unquestionably to enhance Mr. Fremonts chances of election by detracing from the strength of his only formidable opponent, Mr. Buchanan. Whether this is really the object oi such journals Is for the conscences eff they have any) of their conductors to decide: but such IS clearly and indisputablv the only effect that can come from deliberately magnifying the strength of MT. Fillmore, who has not even a computable possibility of election by the peo- ple-who can count on not one State in the HolCl anu on Houe WllH certainty Tn the south, unless it be little Delaware. Mir. Fillmore is the candidate of party which has already been shown to be in hopeless minority in the south, and has scarcely perceptbe splinter of fragment left in the north He save the country at this crisis! He stay the tide of black republicansm. Bail the ocean with sieve-turn back the Mississippi with pitch fork.

May God guide us in his wisdom to rally around that party which will avert such a calamity, say I.

 T The democrats elect their entire State tlcket by large majority. The Texas State Gazette says:
 All the returns we receive confirm our pre- dictions. The triumph of the democracy in Texas IS complete. We have no desire to boast of our glorious victory. Overwhelming as it is, we will say in the words of friend in Burnet "we have only given foretaste of what may be expected for Buchanan and Breclirrdgc in No- vember." Let the Fremont men of the north look at this picture and lay not the fatterng unction to their souls that Filmore's little guer- rilla band can divide or distract the souih.- Texas is awake to the great issue from the Sab inc to the Rio Grande.

We Won't Boast!


 Friend Scott, of the Traveller thus, in mercy declines to boast over the rout and ruin of Know Nottingham; to which he contributed so largely by his able defence of democracy -hear him:
 "We had thought of boasting little this week-of giving one loud, strong hrrrah !. for Conway, Warren, and the Arkansas Democra- cy-but we can't, positively we can't find it in our heart to exut over political foe, so con- pletely prostrated. We well know how the opposition would have boasted, bragged. crow ed, whooped and shouted, had they been suc- cesstul; but we will not pay them in kind- They are disappointed and dispirited, and we would rather pour oil upon their wounded feel lngs, than to exaSperatc them. l Yet we are proud of this election-proud that the democracy have so nobly sustained Gov. Conway, and vindcated his policy con. corning the banks, and hurled back upon his reviers the false and ridiculous accusations they so lavishy heaped upon him,-proud that WE have borne some humble part in this great con- test for right and justice, and that our exertions and influence have not been altogether thrown aWay"
