PRENTICIANA.

We take the following paragraphs
from the louisville Journal;
Some of the Southern Democratic
papers express the utmost confidence,
that as there was q majority of only
three in the House Of Representatives
in favor of Mr.. Harris's resolutions,
the administration will be able to car.
-ry its Lecompton policy in.that body.
We think that this ia altogether like

than three men in the House who are
none too good to be bought, and most
certainly the Administration is none
too good to buy them.
We see that several of the caster pa.
pcrs are publishing Mr.. Grows biog-

not to know he was Knocked down at

The Revolution in Mexico.

On the morning of the 2lst of Jan
uary, President Comonfort, abandoned

ing, left the city Of Mexico, when tho
Pronunciados entered the Palace and

The whole country was in confu-
sion. 1narez, Parodi, Doblado, and

fighting is inevitable.

Monroe Stewart.

We regard it as on, dvfy. not TO be
Stunned or escaped, To urge attention
upon the part of the State Executive to
the case of this man. He was convict.
ed, it is true. by an impartial jury of
the highest offence known 10 our laws,
and stands now under the utmost PEN
atty in the power Of anyCour, to impose.
We do not propose therefore, nor do
we think it necessary, 10 pass an inGi-
vidual opinion upon the merits of the
verdict rendered by that jury. But The
question forces tselfupon US, under The
solemn declaration Of the innocence of
Stewart made by the unfortunate per
sons, who have suffered death for the
commission Of the offence. for which
with them he has been jointly convict
ed, is il safe to permit the execution Of
the sentence of tho law, now resting up
on Stewart to be carried out ?
Both Henry Fife and Charlotte Jones
while upon the scatluld, na only an
nounced in their written statements, that
Stewart had had neither pat not lot in
the murder Of The Wilson family, but
they repeatedly proclaimed it in the
most solemn manner, with their eyes o.
vertlowing ~ith ieats, aud laboring ap.
parently under the most severe mental
anguish. While Fife s arms had bee n
Pinioned, and nothing remained. but the
adjustment Of the fatal cord he stepped
forward and declared, that if Stewart
died upon the scafold he would die an
innocent man
II is well known that the declarations
Of a dying man 10 the immediate con-
temptation of death, ara received in
courts of law to fix tho crimes upon
the guilty. The ground Of reception is
that the prospect Of immediate dissou.
ton gives the same assurance Of the
truth of the statement, as does the sane.
tiiy and solemnity Of on oath, If tho
law receives such evidence to prove
guilt. will it not receive il in favor ofin
moccnce ! No jury would have convicted
Stewart in the face of declarations Of
this character-he shomla not he csccu.

Wo de not regard it as the dnty Of
the Governor, at this time, To grant
more than respite, ant. await any fur.
TIER facts that time may reveal, but
his, humanity tmperdtioeiy eracts tram

are properly placed before him by tho
proper authorities that respite will be

loan of 100000. He spoke at length,
and would always add to the impress
sion, that he makes, ifhe would allow
a little good humor to mingle with the

his cause. TO morrow Mr.. Johnston

The Richmond Enquirer, the prin-
clpal Buchanan organ of the South, is
decidedly of the opinion that it would
be well to get up war with Spain in
order to settle the distractions growing
out Of the Kansas question. I Gays !:
Il War wtM Spain, Just nor, wou1d
not, ne Mink, be an unpopular moue-
ment, on the part Of tho Government
of the United States. And we doubt
exceedingly that the Inconvenience ~
rising from it would be at all adequate
to counterbalence the advantages,
which would perhaps prove to be al
most incaIculable.
The Democratic party is great par
