WASHINGTON NEWS.

Voluminous dispatches were received 1T the
State Department this morning from Mr.
McLane, our Minister in Mexico. The aspect
of affairs had not materially changed since he
last wrote to tie Department. The high
handed acts committed by Miramon were dri-
wing even the few who have heretofore adhe-
red to him in opposition to him. and his rule
was considered near Mt end. He characterzcs
the seizure Of specie by Gen. Rolles rs one Of
the boldcst and most high handed robberics
ever perpetraled in any country. Miramon,
before the condncta left, had taken eight per
cent. which was considered very large. Mr.
Mcl.nne bad sen; Il naval "iliceI to negotiate
with Robes, but had not learned with what
success when the steamer sailed.
lie had, atter long conferences, formulated
project OF a treaty with the Juarcz govern
ment, and had laid it before the Mexican
government for consideration, but had not re-
| ceved any answer when the steamer sailed
1t covers the ground Of material aid both in
men and money from this government to Mex
leo. in return for which certain commercial ad-
vantages are proposed to be granted to our cit
| izens, and II right Of way through the State of
Sonora to a port on the Gulf of California
No sale of territory is treated for, as the con-
| stitution strictly binds President Juarez that
| he cannot treat for a sale
Mr.. McLane having ascertained the utmost
that the Juarez government can do and what
| it asks for, has judiciousIy declined to sipn a
full treaty, but has reduced the propositions
to a treaty form which will be submitted to
the government here. AS nothing can be done
till Congress meets. and there are many press
ing questions for Cabinet consideration, these
Mexican propositions could hardly he taken
up nj present. if here, and there will be plenty
| Of time for their discussion.
The British Minister'S recent course at the
city of Mexico was severely condemned by
British subjects, and it was understood move.
ment was on foot by them to petition for his
| immediate recall
Senor Atochn has arrived here, and has
communicated with our government in regard
to the condition of affairs in Mexico. He has
just returned from Vera Cruz, where he spent
some time. He expresses confident belief in
the power of the Juarez government to sustain
| itself 81.
The United States is very popular in Mexico.
The liberal party regard Dir. Buchanan
course as friendly and statesmanlke. They
desire to cultivate the most friendly relations
with this government, and would like to ob.
tain material aid also, for which they would
be willing TO make large concessions.
There is such information in Washington as
warrants the belief that the reoent change o.
the British Ministry will not affect the present
positions Of her Majesty's' Representative,
abroad. with the exception; perhaps Of Lord
lCoWHy at Paris So iis+s. 81, .,y., 80.

MR.. RHETT'S SPEECH.

We have read with much interest the late
able speech Of the Hon. II. B. EnErr, deliver
cd TO Il portion Of his old constituency at Ora.
hamville, S. c. 1t presents clear exposition
Of the nature Of the Government. and the mo.
tivcs which established it, reviews the progress
of sectional agitation, and the unlimely c"r,-
ccssions which have kept it alive, and coun-
sells a united resistance rs the only means Of
securing our ust equality i'll tho Union. And
whatever difference Of opinion may exist, MS
to the irnminency Of the peril which the
snenker thinks to be impending, all must agree
with him in the proper spirit in which it is to
be met.
1t matters not to the South whether sectional
domination be consistent with the Constitution
or not. In either case i, constitutes dcsrotisn
which every consideration of duty and patriot,
ism should lead us to resist. Whether the pol
icy Of the Black Republicans is to be the car
dinal policy Of this country the next Presi,len-
tial election will determine, and the speaker
urges upon the South the necessity of meeting
the crisis by frank avowal and rigid adher
ence to its principles. lie thus concludes:
And let us meet it unitelly. The North in
rcpublicans-unted to exclude us from the en-.
j"ynent of our rights in territories. We
have no other alternative, il We would be faith
full to ourselves, than to unite for their vind-
cation. The prospects are cheering that the
South will harmonizc more than she mas ever
done on this great question. Our frontier
States, from present Indications. will not he
much behind the central States of the South in
their fidelity TO our rights and institutions.
And above all, let no question not Immediate
ly connected with the nggrcssions OF the North
divide us into parties against each other. This
will be fatal to all resistance redress. Our
first great duty is to place the South above or
beyond the power Of the North. First make
our property safe under our own control be-
fore we divide as to measures for its increase
and extension. After our safety is accomplish
1t will be time enough for the South to deter
mine On measures most eXpedicnt to promote
her agriculture! interests or advance her gen
eral prosperity. BY policy thus marked Jy
union. the result cannot be doubtful. If our
rights are victorious in the aext presidential
election, we may consider it as n kind augury
Of n more arspicions future. If they are over
thrown, let this election be the last contest he.
tween the North and the South ; and the long
weary night of our dsho nor and humiliation
be dispersed at 'ast by the glorious day.spring
