S says: The ailusion in the Inaugural to the pur.
chase of territory by the United States, will re
cieve an early solution in all probability, in the
acquisition of Lower California and Sonora. Tn.
der the peculiar position Of affairs now in Mexico
there is no doubt those possessions could easily
be purchased, and while they are an expense to
Mexico, they would be of immense importance to
the United States. Mr.. Buchanan's policy in this
e respect is decided, and the purchase, if within
reasonable bounds, will be made.

Is The Legislature of Missouri has passed o law
giving drunkard's wives the power to take care of
