NEWS FROM MEXICO.

We have given such reports in our paper to-day
in regard to affairs in Mexico as are within our
reach. The public will agree with US that there are
no people the globe about whose present action
there is little certainty, and about whose future
there is earthly doubt Mexico has enjoyed the
dignity of a national government for goody NUM-
Der of years but it has been changed in even its
ganic features we had almost said by each recurring
change of the moon. The people continue to dem
onstIate the greatest extent of folly to which ma
ton attain. The present ndicationsa that the
government which succeeded Comonfort whose ten
ures have really never been fixed, is about to give
way to another. 1t is not possible, under the cir
cumsances, to feel any great interest in people
who do 30 little for themselves and present always
spectacle Of anarchy. They are guided by neither
example nor principle. With abundant natural re-
sources "a fine climate, rich soil, bomdless mineral
wealth. sea coasts and harbors on both oceans, they
present themselves to the world spectacle Of weak
ness and vaciaton without any parallel in history.

II was to have been expected that the great country
lying between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
and stretching to the NORTH south, and west to the
settlements recently sprung into existence on the
Pacific coast, would, later, be inhabited.
The acquisition of Texas and New Mexico on this
side, and California land may say Oregon) on the
other-for Oregon, as political community, is an
oubrth Of the settlements to the south of it--have
undoubtedly opened the whole interior country to
the movement of population. 1t is but q few years
since il was the settled policy of the United States
governmental policy concurred in by the whole
American peoplethat the territories lying west of
the Mississippi should be set apart as the perma
rent residence Of the Indian tribes, 1t is seen
how utterly impossible it is even under the opera
ton of federal laws and the covenants of treaties
set limits to the progress of superior in
ferior race for no sooner were the tribes sent to
their allotted homes than an overwhelming neces-
sity, which no power of the government could con-

TIE LATE AFFAIR HoSon IN THE UNITED STATES SEN
Unwilling to stir the ashes OF past per-
sonal controversy do not how public journal
ists could well overlook the letter which quote
elsewhere from the ST. Louis Republican, in reference to
the ARRAY between Senators Wilson and Gwn at the heel
of the last session of Congress. The Republican is a
partisan paper and very strongly preudiced against all
republicans, but especially against Senator Wilson, and
we should not have thought of appropriating much
space the communication referred TO- did it not bear
unmistakabe evidence of having been prompted
less directly by Senator Gwn himself
The facts here reported could not have been coined
by reporter and they put such face upon the whole
transaction Mr. Gwn might naturally desire ii to bear
before the public The writer represents Mr. Seward Of
his own motion, seeking Gwn. and begging him to ac-
cept an apology from Wilson, and Gwin consenting to
suspend his wrath two hours and longer for the apo
ogy to be prepared. This plan of settlement falling
through the perversity Of Mr. Wilson's advisers he rep
resents Seward calling jefferson Davis INTO the council
a mediator and his recommending Wilson to fix time
when he would be upon the bank of the canal, armed
and ready to be whipped and presume thrownnto the
canal by win The merit of this recommendation that
it saved Wilson's scrupes about accepting challenge
though Davis kindly warned Wilson that in such a
conre would ensue win would have every advantage
of Wilson, accustomed he to frontier life, and
would probably kill him Gwin is then represented as
asserting the reference which finally made after
much solicitation by Davis and upon the ground that five
previous affairs Of honor had given him reputation for
bravery which enabled him to be generous to his adver
sarv Blessed are the peace-makers always, and per-
sonal collision between two United States senator's is q
spectacle which no American can witness without mort
fcaton but il such versions of this affair find in
the Republican have responsible currency whether
true or false we can only say that in opinion the
peace makers arrived too soon, or tarricd too long
