He speaks of Mexico as in a condition
of civil val, with scarcely any hope of a
restoration to a permanent Government.
He refers to the causes which tend to a
rupture Of the diplomatic relations there /;
speaks we'll of Mr.. Forsyth's efforts, and
if it were not for the hope of obtaining
Justice from the liberals, who now APP
pear approaching to favor, he would re-
commend the taking possession Of a por-
ton of Mexico sufficient to indemnify US
fer all our claims and grievances inthe
North of Mexico bordering On our Ter
ritorv. But there are other considera-
tons.
We are interested in the peace of that
neighboThoOd. Lawless Indians affect
our settlements IN Arizona, and there is
no other way that this difficulty can be re-
moved than in establishing military posts
in Sonora and chihuahua. He recon-
mends that this be done regarding Mex
leo, as in a state of imbeeiliry and anar-
chy.
AS to Spain, he refers to the causes
which delayed the appointment of a sue
cessor to Mr.. Preston who will go out with
powers to settle the difficulties with that
Government if possible. He says Cuba
ought. to belong to the United States, and
recommends that steps be taken for its
purchase. As we acquire allnew Terri
tory by honorable negotiation, this should
not be an exception.
He reafirms his former opinions in ia
vor Of specific duties on certain articles,
and submits the whole tariff question to
Congress.
He calls attention to the Pacific Rail-
road, and refers to the overland mails, as
showing the practicability of the route.
Among other subjects, he reiterates
the recommendation to establish a Terri
torial- government for Arizona

Had the Desired Eject.

We are glad to see that our article on
the subject Of annexation, which we pub
lished two weeks ago. has had the desired
effect, viz: to elicit thought and discus
sion upon that subject among those inter-
ested. In to-day's paper will be found an
article by "Judex;" and we have others
from Falls City, Plattsmouth, Peru, and
this place, which are unavoidably crowded
out this week. Nextweek we will publish
them all, and have something more to say
Ourself. We hope correspondents will
condense as much as possible. Aside from
the fact that brevity should be a studied
point with newspaper writers, our limited
space prompts us 10 make this request.

The C0HnfT Convention.

Owing to a want of interest, the bad
roads, cold weather, or something of the
kind, the county convention at Peru yes
terday was slimly attended-not over
twenty-five persons were present. The
proceedings viii be found in another col
umn.
A vote taken merely to ascertain the
sense of that meeting on the question was
taken, which resulted: 10 against annex
alton and 8 for-but 10 persons voting.

We cannot find room, in this number at
least. for the Presidents Message entire.
Indeed we doubt the demand for the pub
LEGATION of such engthymessages in weekly
papers. Few except politicians read them.
The following is a synopsis of President
Buchanan's last message:
The President, in his annual message,
especially congratulated the country on
the contrast of the agitation which exis-
ted IN Kansas year ago with the peace
and quiet which now prevails. He refers
to the Lecompton Constitution, and re-
afirms his position on that subject, and
thinks that if Kansas had been admitted
with that Constitution the same quiet
would have been secured at an earlier
day, bat being perfectly willing to acuui-
esce in any other Constitutional mode of
settlement he signed the English bill,
and probably when Kansas again applies
for admission she will have the population
required by that bill. He goes at length
into the subject, and recommends the pas
sage of a law so that no new State shall
be admitted unless she has a population
sufficient to entitle her to one represen-
tative.
He congratulates Congress on the set
Element of the Utah affair, without the
efusion Of blood. He compliments the
officers of the army there, and expresses
satisfaction with the course of Gov. Cum.
ming, and honorably mentions Colonel
Kane.
He refers to the Importance of the
treaties recently negotiated with China
and Japan, and thinks the result in the
former case justified by ourneutral poll
cy.
He congratulates the country on the
abandonment of the right of search by
Great Britain, and in reference TO Cen
trail America, says that negotiations are
still progressing, and he has not vet aban-
doned the hope of success. He refers
to what was stated at the last session Of
Congress in that connection, and that his
views on the subject of the Isthmus routes
with the policy heretofore announced BY
Mr.. Cass. His only desire is to keeI
the routes open, and he wishes no other
privileges for the United States than we ex.
pect other nations to enjoy, but will no
consent that they be closed by the imbe.
cllity of nations which reside near them
He regrets that the Nicaraguan route ha:
been closed. He speaks Of the necessi
~ of enforcing our claims against Cost;
RIGA and Nicaragua.

THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. ls, 1853.
Nebraska Gold Mines. ,

.NcDEaSkd UUIu MInCcs
So far, we Lave been extremely careful
as TO what we have said or written in re-
gard TO the gold mines Of Nebraska, for
the reason that we were not satisfied in
our W minds as to the reliability of the
thousand and one reports afoat, and did
not wish % deceive any one by giving cur:
rency 10 what we ourselves were not sat
isfed Of When the reports first began
circulating. we were quite sure, from The
sources from which they came, they-w> re
greatly exaggerated for the benefit Of GER
tain localities, and, indeed, we have no
reason to change our opinion in that re-
spect yet. That there was gold all along
She foot of the Mountains west of this
place, we have never doubted; but wheth-
ler ID, an extent warranting attention, was
the question with US. That additional
explorations, within a few months, have
been Of the most satisfactory character,
there is no longer doubt. We have
been perfectly satisfied Of this for some
time back, but being fearful that great
suffering would be the lot of those who
spent the winter in the mines, we would
rather discourage than Encourage going
before next spring.
Quite a number hereabouts being de-
sirous Of going to the new Ell Dorado, but
not being sufficiently satisfied as to the
correctness of reports, a company left
this place on the 9Th of October last for
Abe purpose of exploring and reporting.
On Saturday last letters were received
from them, which we Immediately placed
before u readers in an extra, and which
are 10 be found in another column of our
present issue. II viii be perceived they
are Of the most hattering character, and
have caused in this community a relapse
and spread Of gold fever to in alarming
extent. Many are making preparation;
TO go early in the Spring, both on trading
expeditions and to labor in the mines.
Without fear of disappearing to oul
readers here, or in the States, we nov
say that there is no doubt but that golt
exists in the western portion of this Ter
ritoFy, to an extent almost or quite equa
10 that Of California.

Opinions OF Distinguished

Advertise your business. Donot hide your light
