the company, they win head off the flibusters
from Mexico, but ct the same time our Indian
Empire loses none of its vitality. 1t is a thing
to be, because it exists in the essence of things
We recommend the Spanish philosophers Of the
Cfonica to study the ideas we have given them in
this article. They will find grave fact +" be-
hind every one of them. Let them study the
true position and condition Of the flibuster sen-
timent that now prevails, not only here, but all
over the world. England is filibustering in Per-
STA, India and Southern China-Russia is flibus-
tering in the Caucasus and Northern China
France lie filibustering in Africa, and is already
within three leagues of the Spanish possession Of
Chafarinas on the Moorish cOast-Spain is fill
clustering with Alvarez in Mexico, Morales Rada
in Central America, and Segovia in ST. Domingo.
In order to preserve Cuba, and keep up the sup
ply of sugar, she must be brought into the Union.
Let the Spanish philosophers consider it.
Wecommend, also, to their perusal the letter of
our Mexican correspondent, published this morn.

correspondent states thatit is loan. Perhaps
it is, with Sonora as collateral security. Santa
Anna refused to sell us port on the Gulf Of Ca
Gfornia, but got fifteen millions for the Mesilla
Valley, less three millions for American claims.
ComOnfort succeeded Santa Anna, and now gets
his fifteen millions less the customary three for
claims, and cedes the State of Sonora, with sun
dry ports on the California Gulf.
Meanwhile, preparations are evidently making
in Mexico for severe struggle for the Presidency.
The election is to take place in May next. In
the meantime Comonfort hopes to get the twelve
Millions which will strengthen his hands for the
coming contest. The fight is likely to be
between the two sections of the liberals,
for some Of whom Comonfort is not quite fast
enough. They have accordingly left him, and
are going to nominate Senior Lerdo for the Pre-
sidency. This gentleman is the author Of the
Church Property law, and was one of the strong
est men in Comonfort's government up to the
time Of his resignation, which occurred short
time SINCE We commend the study of all these
things to the Spanish and Mexican philosophers
generally. The price of fifteen millions, less
three for claims, is rapidly taking the form of
precedent, and the only discussion is how much
territory shall be given for it. How much of
Cuba will the Cronica consent to give for that
price?

To see two rational beings in the glow Of
life and youth and hope, which invests all
with the halo of happiness, appear together and
openly acknowledging their preference for each
other. voluntarily enter into league of perpe-
tual friendship, and call heaven and earth to
witness the sincerity of the solemn vows-to
think of the endearing connection, the import
ant consequences, the final separation, the
smile that kindes to ecstacy at their union must
at length be quenched in the tears Of mourn
ing!-but when life continues, they are to par
ticipate in the same joys, to endure the like
sorrows, to rejoice and weep in unison. This
is the most interesting spectacle that social life
exhibits
"Don't put too much confidence in lovers
vows and sighs," said Mrs. Darlington to her
niece; '.et him tell you that you have lips like
Strawberries and cream, cheeks like tarna-
ton, and eyes like an asterisk, but such things
oftener come from tender head than tender
heart"
