MEXICO.

In the midst of the general anarchy
which now reigns in this unhappy country,
it is no easy matter to obtain clear idea
of what is going on, or what the respective
factions are really contending for. Indeed
it is doubtful whether they themselves
know any better than we do. Neverthe-
less, it is certain that the cdds and ends of
the opposition to the Zuloaga administra-
tion are uniting to overthrow it; and, with
that end in view, are organizing what Is
called the Unconstitutional Party" At the
last advices, Gen. Parrodi, the Command
er of the Constitutional forces, was at Gel
aya-a town situated some forty miles
from Queretaro. All the avenues leading
to the place had been thoroughly fortified
and manned with artillery, SO as to enflade
the approaches. The two armies are about
equal in numbers-6000 on each side
Parodi has q battery of 80 pieces, and
Osollo, commander of the government
troops, one of 2s. The calvary of the Con-
stitutionalists is the more numerous and
better equipped. Parrodi was very advan-
tageously posted. His position cannot be
turned, while he can readily keep the en-
emy in check until the arrival of reinforce
ments. The government has nearly ex-
hausted its means in raising and equipping
the troops under Osello, and there seems
to be no question that, should the army
suffer serious defeat, the fate of the Zu-
loaga administration will be sealed.
There will be nothingsin that eatastre.
phe to regret. Zuloaga is weak man, it
not superstitious fool and bigot. In
stead of trying to redeem his country, and
to lift her up out of the Slough of Des-
pond into which he has helped to fling her
what is he about now! Why, sending
off letters to the Pope of Rome, full of pi-
Gus sentiments, entreating him to bestow
his benediction upon the people of Mexico,
and assuring him that the Catholic relig-
ion should be properly reverenced and OBJ
served, and, the clergy reinstated in sill
their rights Rome, and not the Republic
IS thus nearest the heart of this model pa
riot.

Executive Patronage.

1t is well understood that from the COM
mencement of the present session of Con-
gress, all the powers of the President have
been used to force the Lecompton Consti-
tuition through Congress. Mr.. BucHENAN
is said to have limited himself TO thirty
days, "to put that Constitution through or
bust" The immence patronage at the dis
posel of the President has been used, not
to carry out the will of the people, but to
thwart that will,-to enable him to ride
rough shod over the people, by corupting
our National Legislature. The struggle
has become one between popular sovereign
ty" and Executive patronage" Nobody
believes that but for the seventy or eighty
millions worth of"patronage," in the shape
of offices, at tie disposal of the Federal
Administration, that the stupendous impo-
sition known as the Lecompton Constitu-
tion would have corporars guard to de-
fend it, in Gather House of Congress.
And nobody can believe that were the Ex-
ecutive not holding back for special aud
now well understood, purpose, his distribu-
tion of the most lucrative aoffices" of which
that patronage is made up, that iniquitous
measure would have received its death blow
long ere this. Hence, instead of the Pres
ident being-as the constitution intended
him to be-the executor only of the laws,
he is come to be, in the point of fact, the
maker of the la1 or, in other words, a
veritable Dictator, whose wishes and whose
will, it may be said, the Representatives
of the people are coerced to obey-no mat
ter how long, or how earnestly, or how
unanimously, the people themselves may
protest.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAs.-The case
of State of Ohio VS. S. C. Cheney, wen: to
the Jury about noon, on Friday last. The
Jury towards evening, returned verdict of
Guilty under the Sd count of the indict-
ment of concealing stolen goods. Motion
for new trial and in arrest of Judgment,
were Immediately interposed by defendants 5
counsel, and argued at considerable length.
The motions were ultimately overruled by
the Court and bills of exceptions taken on
behalf Of defendant. He has since been
sentenced TO the penitentiary for years.
A rather exciting scene occurred between
Judge Sample and Mr.. Given, on Satur-
day afternoon, but good feeling was short
ly restored.
The liquor indictments have all been
continued on various grounds, some BY af-
fidavits, and some by other means. No
trials by jury of civil cases at the present
term have been had, though large amount
of business, not demanding the interven-
ton of jury, has been disposed of. Court
adjourned Tuesday.
EXCITING ScENE.-The Ladies of Fred
ericksburgh, who had been indicted for
riot by the Grand Jury, for abating the
doggerries in that village, came into Court
on Saturday last and entered into bonds,
with surety, in $500 each for their appear
ance at next term of Court. So large an
array of Crinoline created quite an excite
ment among the babitues of the Old Court
House, so that it was Immediately filled to
sutfocation. The local could not even find
a place for the soles of his feet. The bail
was promtly given and the ladies returned
to their homes, we presume, with new de-
termination to war upon the tyrant alcho
hol. At the next term of court, they will
have their places for trial at the Bar as
criminals Wooster Republican.

Kansas Arithme,ical Fact,.

As the Administration organs would
confuse, and thus confound the Public
Mind, upon theories,-and abstract theo-
rems,-we propose for their digestion the
following facts:
The Lecompton Convention which
created the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, was voted for by only 1900
The January 4th vote, against it,
taken under the Law of the Kan
sas Legislature, (the authority
that created the Lecompton Con-
stitution.) Was over .-- 10000
The Democratic theory, and theorem,
now is, that the $500 Lecompton making
men ought to subvert and govern the 1O,-
900 anti-Lecompton voting men! In the
face of these figures, the Administration
assume the sovereignty of the Convention,
and deny the sovereignty of the people,
The Lecompton Constitution thus, is not
the constitution of the people of Kansas,
buff adopted by lCongress-to be an i'm
position upon the people of Kansas by the
Federal Government.
Now, Congress has no such constitution
al power of imposition as this. Congress
''nay admit new States" but it has. no
power to make constitution for State,
or to adopt one made by others and i'm
pose it upon the people of a State. The
question is not upon the admission of Kan
sas, but upon the imposition upon Kansas.

L1ouoR Prosecutions IN YouNesrowN.

LIQUOR PROSECUTIONS IN YoUNGsrowN.
The good people of Youngstown have
taken hold of the subject of enforcing the
liquor law in earnest. Mayor Carroll has
bound over Anthony Howell in the sum
of $500 on complaint Of Mrs. Brannon
for selling liquor to her husband, and
Enoch Smith and another grog-seller un-
der like bonds, also on complaint Of Mrs.
B. same offence. The REGISTER says:
Mrs. Brannon, who brings suit in the
above cases, alleges that defendants and
others have sold liquor to her husband !;
that he has been intoxicated for days to-
gether, and unable to work, thereby de-
priving his family of support and subsis-
tence. Finding all other means unavail-
ing, she has been driven to the course she
has taken, for the protection of herself
and family. Her husband will testify to
the purchase of liquor from defendants, to
be drunk upon the premises, in violation
of the statute. We understand that other
prosecutions are in progress.
A citizens meeting has been held, and
the best people of Youngstown have re-
solved to sustain Mr.. and Mrs. Brannon,
and to aid in the suppression of an illegal
traffic which is curse, and curse only.

LEcoMPToN SHIvERING IN THE WIND
Appearances have not, until now, warrant
ed any sanguine hopes that the Lecomp-
ton Constitution will be defeated in Con-
gress. The speech of Senator Crittenden
seems to have sounded the death knell of
this abomination. The probabilities now
are, that Buchanan and his forces will for
pride sake "put it through" the Senate,
and then tender some compromise
The douglas men are taking up the cry
that the Democratic party must not be dis
membered, and the Lecompton country
press is echoing that cry. Both factions
are in tremor, and almost any compro-
mise will be thankfully received by both.
Such will probably be the sup shot" of
the matter, as the Douglas wing will be
content if enough concession shall be made
to save their party uecks, and the Buchan-
an wing will only ask to preserve their

Ohio Stocks.-It will be remembered BY
most readers of Locofoco papers, how
they predicted last fall that in the event of
Mr.. CHAsE's re election, Ohio stocks would
be worth nothing and the credit of the State
ruined. To prevent so fearful catastro-
phe, MIR. PAYNE would have to be elected.
Although that party has ruined everything
it has lain hands upon, yet, strange enough,
they claimed that Payne's election would
preserve the credit of our State. How re-
diculous claim for a Locofoco to set up.
They were never known to preserve any,
thing, except their reputation as slanderers
oftheir opponents. But what came of their
predictions? Gov. CHASE was reelected,
and Ohio Stocks which were worth last fall
go cents, are now worth los. What do
you think of that, you that were humbug-
ged into voting for Payne in order to pre-
serve the credit of the State? Ohio Stocks
instead of depreciating in value, are worth
eighteen cents more than they were when
Payne was travelling over the State calling
himself "Goverpor." And to find out what
the credit of the State would have been
worth year hence, had Mr.. Payne been G.
lected, find out what the credit of any State
where the Locofocos have had the power
for years, is worth. That will tell the sto-

Henry b. Payuc,s Speech.

l cordially approve the proceedings of
this day. Many who agree with us tell me
that division and distraction will ensue to
our party by these meetings. We stand
by the Administration as long as it sticks
by our principals. Iregret that Mr.. Buch-
anan has condescended to 7isit with pun
ishment his own appointees for difference
of opinion. 1t is unworthy of him to in
jure Mr.. Douglas through his personal
friends. 1 am opposed to retaliation but
if prescription is preserved in, Mr.. Buchan-
an may drive the Democrats of Ohio and
the Northwest to measures of retaliation.
If l go out from the party, there goes
out with me the great body of the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio. All of the nominees of the
state ticket of last fall are with me. The
Sterling portion of the Democratic party
who have been faithful for twenty years,
are represented here to- day. More than
four-fifths of the 10000 Democratic vo-
ters of the State are against the Presidents
policy towards Kansas. There is then no
great fear of my floating far outside in such
company. With Douglas, am willing to
60 where Popular Sovereignty, logically
and legally, will carry us. If the Democ-
racy repudiate this doctrine, will go out
with it.
Six out of eight of our Representatives
oppose Lecompton, and one of the remain
ing two will, no doubt, finally vote right.
l have no doubt that our Senator (Pugh)
will vote as he has been instructed. Un-
less those Anti-Lecompton instructions are
obeyed, not Congressional District, not
an Assembly District in Ohio, will send
back their present representatives. l thank
the members of the Legislature, for their
early, wise: and prompt action in relation
to this subject.
The seeds of distrust and division are
being sowed by those who are sustaining
the President in his wide departure from
the Platform. Be of good cheer-let wis
dom, intelligence and firmness characterize
your opposilion-be fearless in advocating
the right-in condemning the wrong and
put your trust in Providence will be we'll
founded.
The meeting was about adjourning, when
Mr.. D. O. Morton said they must give
three cheers for somebody, and having pro-
posed that they be given to "Steve Doug
las" the shouts were given, and thus ends
the Anti-Lecompton Democratic State
Convention of Ohio,

EE- The New York Herald, which has
been laboring desperately for the success of
the Presidents Leeompton scheme, in its
leader of Saturday says of the Democratic
party:
APART from the administration, all the
signs of unity and power in the party have
ceased to exist. Its exponents in congress
are as discordant rs the tongue of Babel.
Neither in the House nor in the Senate is
there anything of fixed discipline or order
in the ranks. Sectional disorgauizers,
plotting conspirators and desperate dema-
gogues have entered upon their work De-
fections, corruptions, imbecilities and fac
tious trickeries have utterly demoralized the
camp.
The end will probably be first the ruin
Of the administration, and next, the total
rout the final dissolution and dispersion Of
the party, never to rise again, These are
the signs Of he times.
