BSg@ A correspondent of the Petersburg Press says
that Judge Douglas has done everything in his power
to secure Bococks election as Speaker by reasoning
with the few refractory Democrats. His want OF sac
cess has not been from lack of cxeron The fact is,
the Forneytes have been using Judge Douglas name to
promote their own ends not out of love affection for
him. When Haskins goes back to Westminster county,
New York, with this plain Republican vote recorded
against him, he will fall cold as wedge. How Hick-
man and Schwartz may fare is more than we can say.
The latest accounts from Mexico leave little doubt

The Juarez government hardly claim to any de fac
to character and the affair the CENTRE has no inter-
course at all with u.s. and refuses to listen to any of
recamations or demands. W had we'll have war at
once Naturally this Mexican question must occupy
considerable space in the next Presidents Message,
hen that document sent IN. Congress will most pro-
baby squabbe the slavery question and neglect
every hing else.
