Smyrna times., 1857-11-04

n, "Nque"tIy COIhpeIIeu 70 anlmadVert upon. In
>, Chambers of the Mexican Congress are calle
r. upon to discuss and decide the question of tn
. creation of q Dictatorship, instead of Presi
dent, as is the case at present. The Congress
has been in session month already, and has
:. = done nothing but develope the existence O.
Il warning factions and the claims of opposing as
plrants to the supreme power. 1t seemed Ger.
tain, from the latest accounts, that the supreme
dictatorship would be conferred upon some one,
but whether upon ComonFort or some one else,
was not decided
President COmonfort had entered into very
extensive land speculations, in which number
OF Americans are said to be parties. Lands to
the amount of several millions of dollars are
involved. He is also reported to have made
contract with some American bankers, by
which he is to raise money on lottery
scheme.
The whole country was in a state of frghtful
disorder and anarchy. In Yucatan the Indians
were driving out the white races; in the South
a civil war was raging with great violence, be-
tween Alvarez and his opponets. The Spanish
races, both in Mexico and Central America 4
have already demonstrated the fact, often
enough, that they are utterly incapable OF self |
government 1t is matter that deeply con-
Germs the American people, and cannot be well |
overlooked by the present administration at
Washington.

better than the sub oined:
ADvERTIsE.-DuIl times are perhaps the very
best Tor advertisers. What little trade is 90
ing on they get, and whilst others are prum-
ping, they pay their way, and with the news
paper as lie preserver, swim on the top ofl
the water, while others are sinking all around.
Advertise literally, and you will hardly smell
hard times.
Every word of this is true, and it will be
worth money to any business man who will act
lpon 1t. R'dnce your prices to suit the times. t
Small profits and quick sales are much the best Il
ust now. 1t will be no advantage TO stick to
he rates asked in prosperous days, and thus |
all to sell. Retrenchment is the order now !
Therefore, advertise your goods literally, and q
ct The people know where cheap articles
AN be had Advertise, aud let the people !,
ee that your head is still above water, ana I;
hat you 90 on selling on advantageous terms >
There are plenty OF cash buyers who make
heir appearance about these times. B
