SOuANnERING

1-Our friead of the Gazette, seems to
forget that during the adjournment of the
Legislature, from the 18th to the Goth of last
month, there were few members Of both
Houses who remained in Harrisburg: and
that during that time the Senate and House
were warmed and lit up at the same expense
as If all wore there, and that number OF
subordinaies are there, and paid in every
respect as il both houses we're in fall ope-
ration. OF course this little expense, in
Cured by .hs present corrupt f."cofoco Le-
gisla'ure, is nothing to sts Peop!e. A few
thousands squSsdered is right, AMT it.

MEXICO.

Numerous communications from the land
of revolutions show state affairs strange
and stormy even for Mexico. Pronuncis-
mentocs were abundant; Vera Cruz on the
18th ultimo was bonbarded by the Castle
Of San Juan d. Ulloa; IN the 18th an en-
gagement ,ook place between the Castle and
fhe steam frigate, Guerrero. The Castle
then became the object of attack by the for
tress Of Santiago. The shots of the latter
we're we'll aimed and q magazine exploding
at the same time with the attach. oon
brought il to terms. The result Of the ex-
plosion was, two men killed and sixteen
frightfally wounded
Il appears thata number of convicts in
the Castle of San Juan led 90 by one Sal
ccdo rushed upon the officers, overpowered
them, took possession Of the guns end turn
ed them upon the city. We clip the follow
ing from, Vera Cruz letter; Of Feb, 22nd,
to the n. Y Times:
AT daylight, (13th) two shots we're fired
over this city 20 notify the Governor that the
castle had pronounced, aud an order Was
soon after sent TO the city 10 surrender by
! IL O'Clock, threatening to lombard the place
if it did not join with them. The city did
not surrender and at llA o'clock the castle
| opened fire in earnest. The forts on shore
returned the fire. The cannonade lasted
| for about three-qArters Of ala hour, during
which time considerable damage was done
to buildings. The only person wounded
that have heard Of, was Il waiter in the
| hotel am 81 opping at. The first shot fred
/ from the castle passed through thick wall
of brick, across the dining room, breaking
in its way th. legs off the thr chair occupied
| by COL Piekest, T. s Consul at this port,
and the leg of one of the walters. The
| ball ID to be forwarded to the East by the
Mexican express, as n trophy of this event
ful day.

volt of small band Of desperadoesf but in
Puebla, Haroy mamariz has fortified him
self and made that place the stronghold OF
his armed opposition 20 Comonfort- From
the mass of contradictory information which
VIC have read on Mexican affairs, We have
been able to gathsr this which we believe to
| be true, Wig that Cothonfort desires to do
his best to regenerate tho country; to build
up its trade; encourage manufactures and
to give stability to and inspire respect in its
laws The majority of the people are de-
sirous that he may saccced, but the dema-
gogues are determined to defsat his benevo-
lent designs, and with gangs of robbers from
the mountains keep the country continually
| In state of confusion.
To return again to tho affair at Castle e
San Juan; it appears that after the ATTACK
upon the city revolt sprung up among the
convicts themselves in which the more
peaceably inclined oyercame and made
prisoner of Salcedo, hoisted the white flag
and submitted to the Governor of Vera

Bowman need not try to deny that he VIII
fled and abused the Methodist and Luthe-
ran congregations and clergy, at the late
Locofoco meeting, for he did. as many
members of these churches who we're pres
snt will testify; and in his paper of week
before last hs has commenced on the Pres
byterian clergy. Indeed, Locofoco leaders
just at this time, while they arc trying to
secure all the Catholic vote, seem to think
they can't 90 too far in their abuse of all
Professionalism. They will secure the pa
pist vote which they arc after; but may
they not lose the Protestant, by this courses

The PRosPEcT IN VIRGiNrA.-The Rich

to the prospects Of the American party, its
nominees and principles, in Virginia:
From every quarter of our Common

with the names of our chosen candidates.

gle, and determined to meet .he issue AS

That voice sounds as the prophets word,
And in its swelling tones are heard,
Tho thanks of millions yet to be.
What will we dol Why we will organize
in every county, city, town and hamlet OF
our proud old Commonwealth. We will
plant our banners upon the hill-tons, and
erect our aliars in the shade of every green
tres convenient for purpose; we will
cry aloud and spare not, until we have
shown TO the people the transgressions of SO
called Democracy, and the sins of the cor
rupt faction it has brought into power. We
will proclaim the patriotic principles and
| purposes of .4mericanism, and make the nj

makes these just remarks:
'Millard Fillmore is to day tho star to-
wards whose cheering light thousands ofeyes
are turning for deliverance from our present
troubles. He is statesmen of high iD-
tellect anu hsrn resolve patriot pure and
incorruptible. We have tried him in the

worthy of his trust. Like the heroes OF

Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-02-21
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS

We notice in the La Porte Times Of last
week, an editorial on the subject of calling
a Convention at Plymouth, the last of May,
to nominate candidate for Congress for
this District. We think the suggestion a
good one. The last of May would proba-
bly, be as suitable time as could be selec-
ted. The farmers could attend at that
time with less sacrifice than at later day.
We have been casting around the Dis
trIct, to see who would likely be aspran;s.
and, who in our humble Judgment. would
be tho most suitable man, under all the
circumstances, to be put in nomination
We are at no loss for good timber. 1t
might be proper to run n man at one
time, and not expe1ient to run the same in
diyidual under other circumstances. Mr..
CoLFAx will unquestionably be the Know
Nothing Candidate. He is sprightly; a
good editor; an able correspondent; atten-
tive 10 the interests of his party, and will
receive their entire strength n the polls.
