ANOTHER PARTITION OF MEXICO IN
PROSPECT.

The next attempt of conquest to be undertaken
by flibustering extensionists seems now likely to
be upon Mexico. Her weakness and The anarchy
now prevalent, invites assaults of conspirators from
this country. Colonel Locktidge, n Nicaraguan
flibustor was to start from Galveston, Texas, on
the first inst. on an expedition for the invasion from
Northern Mexico. For this purpose he has been
raising recruits in Texas, where be represents that
he has been furnished with funds OF the North
The invaders are to 20 as emigrants their arms and
munitions of war having already preceded them.
The New Orleans Delta looks to this movement
as the beginning Of the enterprise for the con-
quest Of the whole OF Mexico and it's annexation
20 the new Southern Republic which is to be. Or
should the southerners conclude to remain in the
present Confederacy, the conquest Of Northern
Mexico will furnish a number of new slave states
TO be added to the present Union. The Delta
discusses the su inject in this wise
1.-The late President Polk, a man Of far more
mental power and progressiveness than his success.
sUr unce remarks to an English woman OF some ce-
lebrity, that Mexico was q pear ripening for a
fail into our lap" There can be no question that
the pear is now nearly, il not quite ripe, and that
the very best thing for that unfortunate Republic
would be annexation.
..Tho annexation Of Mexico would give to the
people of that country, what they can never have
otherwise. peace. security, and commercial and
agricultural prosperity. Its soil is peculiarly
adapted to Slave labor, and Slave labor would
bring out those inexhaustable riches with which d
5ene6cent Providence has endowed the land. The
presence OF IA race so indomitable as ours, and
the existence Of of an institution such az lies ut
the root Of the prosperity OF the South. would
make that lanG. now fer the most part wild and
uncultivated, one of the most fruitful underneath
the eye Of Omnipotence.
In view Of the revolutionary condition of Cen
trail Mexico, and the distance of the inhabitants
from the central government, and the benefits
arising from a separate existence, overtures have
been made by prominent citizens for assistance to
build up u new republic. We learn tina, u move.
ment will soon be made to give practical import
anee to these Overtures. Undoubtedly this move
ment will soon embrace all Northern Mexico
The prominent citizens of these states are willing
to administer the new government in common with
capable Americans. The republic once formed,
there wpu,d be but little difficulty in the way of
annexation. And should the South cut loose from
the North, as the movement to which we allude is
Of Southern origin, she could readily extend her
domain by the annexation Of the new contedera
ton, finally possess herself of central and south
ern Mexico.
The power of the Federal Government, backed
by its PiuldingS, its special land constables and
it's Northern army officers, will be unable to check
This mOvemen when made. There are no ST
Juans To prevent American citizens from passing
into this part of Mexico. Unless Mr.. Buchanan
can send enough bayonets to protect every NILE
Of the banks of the Rio G-ande, the game would
be up. Hands off, Mr.. President the South will
have something to say when her citizens desire to
~emigrate % the Promised Land across the Rio
Grande.
So the President is directed to hold hands off,
while the New Republic of Sierra Madre is inau-
gursted. Doubtless he will be ooedient as is his
wont. to instructions from that quarter.
