"There is Mexico now disrupted by dissen-
sions at home, and in state of anarchy, lying
prey, ready to be seized by any Power which
may wish to do so. To-day, some of the press
are charging the Government that, dogin-the-
manger-like, it will not take charge of her, nor
allow any other Power to do 80. But if bill
should be offered in Congress to acquire it, he
should cote against 1t. Some of the press are
also urging the acquisition of Sonora. To this
he was also opposed, because Of its position.
There acds no more chance Of making STARE
State Of IL, than there tcaS to form one la the
moon and amer al, WiH SldreJy. He was also
opposed to the acquisition of Nicaragua. In
expressing these opinions, he was accused of
being unfaithful to the South; but if his opin-
ion on this subject made him so, let him be SO
called.
Slavery, said he, should precede Gcquisi-
tioR-it cannot now go to Mexico for by the
law of'that country the slave would be free as
soon as there. But some say that we will take
1t there after the revolution. This, too, is i'm
practicable, if not impossible; for, by the acqu-
sition, there will be necessarily annexed a peo-
pie opposed to it, brought up to despise it. Them
where could be found the spirit necessary to
foster the institution in that country? And
while the right to the property in the slave
would at all times be in Jeopardy, the man from
the North, who owned no such property, could
go there, and be perfectly safe

for service in cities, and the institution Away
decreases relatively, if not absolutely, as th'

and Richmond can never become great cities
or even respectable III size, while they cherish
Slavery. They must slough it off, as Baltimore
st. Louis, and Louisville, have done, or be con
tent to remain unimportant provincial towns.
! But whatever be the policy or the wishes O
Virginia, she cannot remain IN statu qsto! The
march of events is gradually preparing her fol
Freedom Her prosperity, her soil and Climate
and her system of railroads, invite free labor
| from abroad and the invitation will be ac
cepted, even against the wishes of her ruling
class. The tide of European and Northern i'm
migration has already set in, and will continue
to rise with increasing force, until population
within reaches the level of population on the
northern border. Slavery will be gradually SUI
perseded and crowded out of the State by free
labor and the State, in spite of ITSELF is des-
tined to have greatness and wealth forced upon
it. Baltimore and the northern counties OF
Maryland have never resolved to abolish Sla-
very, and yet they have become practically free,
while they supposed they were cherishing the
peculiar institution. st. Louis was practically
free before it voted for Free-Soil Mayor, and
Richmond and Norfolk are now slowly and
noiselessIy following in the same career. 1t is
not a question of volition, but law of civic
growth and the working of the . rrepressible
conflict between Freedom and Slavery.
I European immigration to the United States
has been checked for the last three four
years by variety of causes. The Russian war,
the succession Of good crops and general pros
perity ON the other side of the Atlantic the
Know Nothing excitement, and the financial
revulsion, have all conspired to this end But
in the nature of things, the tide must turn again
with renewed force. Our prosperity is reviving
the excitement against foreigners has abated
and the circumstances On the other side Of the
water which have kept population at home, may
give place to others Of an opposite character
1t is hence reasonable to expect as great an
influx of foreigners within. the next five years
as IN the similar period which preceded 1854,
if no more. The demand for labor, and the IA
cilites now afforded for travelling in almost all
parts of Virginia, will draw a much larger share
of this emigration than has heretofore taken
that direction. The European or the North
erner will not go to the plantations of Alabama,
Mississippi, and Louisiana, in search of EN-
ployment, while he can find it in the genial lat
itude of the Potomac and the James river; and
the repugnance Of the planters in the Gulf
States to free white labor, which is much greater
than it is in Virginia will at the same time OPP
crate TO its exclusion. The demand for labor
in the Gulf States will therefore be supplied by
slaves from Virginia and Maryland, and for
eigners will take their places in these more
northern attitudes.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr.. SCENARIOS ROCHESTER, SPEECH N rnt
SoUrH.-Any base coin issued by the SLAVERY
propagandists readily passes current in the
Gulf States. The MiSSissippian Processes To
quote as follows from the Rochester speech OF
Senator Seward;
Having supposed these facts the incom-
patibihty, in the long run, OF free and slave
labor, he Senator Seward then proceeded 10
prescribe line of action for the North, rs fol-
lows:
az Let as anticipate tie Llo,c By jaradiHg the
States If South Carolina and Georgia, and
eDlancipatimg the labOrer ichO IS toiiiHg on the
plantations there. The two principles cannot
live. Either Slavery must triumph and become
universal. or emancipation must he carried into
ereJy State. If the South lives, the North must
die Then, dozen ,cih tie South Dele7,da
est Cdrthdgo.' And if the compact of the Con
federation stands in the way, tear IL 10 pieces.
There is no faith TO be kept IChh shareholders.
In politics, that only is obligatory which is ex-
pedient
The great majority of the readers Of the Ms
sissippidn will be ready to swear to the genu'
ineness of this forgery
In the border slave States we are gratiied 70
perceive growing spirit of candor. Slavery
fanaticism in that section has exhausted itself,
and the public mind has begun to revolt at the
excuses of the fire-eaters. Among the indca-
tons of this hopeful change, we quote the fol-
lowing remarks of the Frankfort (Ky.) Com
mOnirealh, in reference to the same speech;
" But where is the violation of the constitu-
tional rights Of the stakeholder which is said to
be Swallowed forth in this speech? We have
not discovered it. All of his previous efforts
have repudiated the idea, The speech is sim

- REPrELICAN PARTY.

We are gratliicd 10 perceive that the propo
sition Of leading contemporary to abandon the
Republican platform. and adopt one more
agreeable to its enemies meets with no favor
in any quarter. lts terms are rejected by the
parties whom il was intended to conciliate, for
not going far enough, aud repudiated by eenu
inc Republicans for GOING too far. 1t is TO
the Jews a stumbling block, and 10 the Greeks
foolshness." The leading opposition journals
of the South ridicule the idea of cooperating
with Republicans upon any such terms. They
viii not consent 10 support an avowed Repub
lican for President, or 10 stand upon Free
Soil platform, for the simple reason that they
could do neither without selfdestruction. Pub
lie opinion in the South is not yet ripe for so
important step. Republicanism must tr-
umph in the election Of President before it
can make any considerable Roadway in the
South. Ii must have the countenance and
patronage of the Federal Government, in order
TO withstand the long established despotism OF
the slave oligarchy.
Among the Republican papers Of the North,
ave have not met with one which favors the
proposed abandonment of the platform and
we are gratifed that the proposition has only
served to develop the fixed and firm purpose
of the free people of the North 10 stand by the
Republican party.
