BenitO JuRrt L.

When in 1919 fernando COrteZ took his first step to-
wards the conquest Of what has since been known as
Mexico he found that country inhabited by different
tribes and peoples but paramount among these yas the
nation or tribe of the Aztecs, whose seat of power
then in Tenochtitan, the site Of the present City
of Mexico. In the ancient Aztec City were situated
the vertablc Halls of the Montezumas in which our
volunteers were to "revel during the Mexican war
that is to say, fgurativeIy.
Nearly three centuries and q half have now passed
away, and with them the dominion Of the Aztecs and
their Spanish conqueroIs The " Halls of the Monte
zumas arc too far forgotten to be mentioned without
ridcule even by the most inflated of stump orators
The Of the conquisadors-thc blood of Cortez and
Cordova has sunk 50 low that none will do it reverence
the wrongs of centuries are bringing their reribuon
and the degraded Aztec and Casian call for help upon
Benito Juacz pure Indian Of the aboriginal race
Aztec, no CaSt!ian, bnt descendant Of one of the
subject tribes, and the government of this man is ac-
knOWledgCd by that OF The great ADgIo-SaXOn remb-
lcan conlederacy, whose wise men of the East pirate
so much about their SaXonsm and attempt to ignore
the Celtic and Romantic clements in their own national
life and civilization.
We trust that the new government OF Mexico may
succeed in fully establishing itself and in establishing
and maintaining some toeraby fair rulc-some rule Of
law and justice instead of that of force and fraud which
has so long obtained among southern neighbors We
must confess however, that our trust is rather weak
one. The antagonism of race is hard to overcome
The Spanish and their descendants in Mexico although
they have lost the proves and the energy that
made them formidable still abate not one ot or one tit
tie Of the insane pride of their pamiest days, and will
not rest quiet under the rule of the race they once
quered and abused
We hear good deal about the Church party in Mex
ico We rather think that the anim,s of this party as
we'll of nearly every other party in Mexico can be
best understood by reference to this antagonsm Of
races. The higher clergy are, think generally Euro
peans, men of pure white race whose sympathes are
rather with the Spanish and their descendants than with
the Indians. We mean of course their sympathes on
matters of government. A good many of the secular
clergythe rural priests belonging to monasc order
side with the popular cause, and with few changes
exceptions this will generally be found Identical with
that of the aborgnes and their descendants people who
do not lack intellect but sadly deficient in education

Fight among the Black Republicans.
Left for q moment to themselves, the Black Rec
publicans have got up very pretty quarrel in their
own house. The case, as stated BY the Washington
States, is this: The Black Republican organization
was recruited mainly from the Puritan population
of New England, aided by portion Of the German
population Of the Northwest. Between these class
es there is no eonmon sentiment except faustieal
haired of slavery While the sectional Issue was the
dominant political question before the country, they
co-operaled with sufficient harmony; but the instant
that controversy was suspended the original antsg
onism between the bigOtry Of the New England Con-
gregatiOnalist and the skepicism of the imported
radical began TO operate with consuming intensity
With that memorable logic by which the Puritan
people have ever expressed their inward convictions
in the practical affairs Of lfe the black republicans
in Massachusetts have pushed their resentment
against the free-thinking foregnertO the point Of
political Acknowledgement, By an amendment Of
the State constitution the alien born inhabiant is
denied the rights Of citizenship uail he completes
probationary residence oftwo years after natursli
cation.
Naturally enough, The black republicans Of the
Northwest indignant at This prosoriplive enact
ment and there is pleasing pros 7ect of an mex
tnguishable eud between the chief divisions of the
anti-slaVery organization The leaders Of he allied
army discern the danger, and the solicitude with
which they exert themselves to smother The flame,
furnishes The most gratifying assurance of an inn
minent outbreak

7. SEEFD Esq, at present the Attorney Genesl and
Reporter for the State, having filed in the office of
the Secretary of State his resignation of that office,
to take effect on the 9th of June next the inquiry
now is, who shall be his successor? Were the de-
cision Of that question left alone TO the members Of
the bar, selection, think, could be made almost
without dissenting voice; at least, sirs far as
have heard the matter csnvassed, there seems to
be universal desire that ". F. CooPER Esq, of
this city, shall be Mr.. SHEDS successor. Young,
active energetic, industrious and laboriOus and
having added to a mind naturally strong and Wig
crous large store of information as we'll miseel-
laneous as judicial Mr.. COOPER st Inds pre-emin-
entity qualified for the position But aside from
this Alr. COOPER (although yet young man. has
large experience in the practice of the law and
may now justly be placed beside the foremost of the
first lawyers of the State.
In 1868 Mr.. Cooper was a candidate for The Of
fee, but owing TO the fact that there we're other
members Of the Democratic party, besides Mr..
COOPER, who were candidates for that oie, between
whom the Democratic vot was divided, while Mr..
SNEED was the only Opposition caEdidate-and the
additional fact that meagre vote was polled on
the day of the electiOn-NIr COOPER was defeated,
although at the time doubtless the choice of large
majority Of the people well as of the members of
the bar. How then is the public sentiment to be
elected in the future Let there be called Dem
Ocrstic State Convention for the purpose of nomna-
ting a Democratic candidate. Let that Convention
select a man its nominee Clike Mr.. CooPER) pre-
emineaty qualified for the position, and let the par
ty rally to his support In that way land that only)
can any approach to full vote be drawn out
trust then, Messrs Editors, that the Democratic
State Central Committee will at once call cORven-
ton to be held at this place at the earliest day
deemed proper, to nomi at candidate for Atto,.
ney General and Reporter; and that Mr.. COOPER
will ann ounce himself candidate for the office,
subject to the decision Of such convention.
