quoted from that the president will perseser
during the present session Of congress in til
course marked out last winter and declare
that he is assured Mr.. Buchanan will nc
shrink a hairs breadth from The position he la
taken, but will take another step in advance.
This avowal, which should meet with unqual
flied approval from men Of all parties al th
south, astounds Mr. Foote, and causes him Il
frantically exclaim, in accents Of horror, Ora
cious heavens! what does this mean? VIVA
further pledge has been dragged from PAM,
stricken president, the execution Of which, APP

southern men, is still more to lower The mora

The south plausible pretext 70 break up tile
eonfederacy" We are rather at.a-losset o CON
ceiYe how any southerner can find fault with
the president for wanting 70 cub 4he sapnting
ambition Of the black republicans; but it is
apparent that Mr.. Foote sinks the southerner
into the petty politician, and would, through
motives ofexpediency, immediate the south and
her institutions TO preserve party organisation.
In plain language, he fears that if the south
should contend for her constitutional rights in
the Union, it will e'break down still more fatal
" the strength Of the democratic party in the
free States" but, of course he has no objections
to breaking up, root and branch, the institutions
OF the south and trampliEg under foot her ina
llenable rights 10 apPease 'the democratic par

or he must be. Mr.. Fooe continues his cir
cular by declaring that president Buchanan
cannot possibly do any thing worse or more
than those things he has already
done; for can scarcely imagine greater enor
mites than attempting to force through congress
the Leconpton bill. The defeat by executive
patronage of the Crittenden amendment-the |
notorious passage of the English bill by the
same dlscreditable means-the indecent public /
fejoicings over the accomplishment ofthis high
handed fraud at the White House itselfr' No
one can accuse US Of being in the least degree
friendly to the present administration, but we
cannot perceive why at this time it, should be
denounced for the attitude it assumed while
he Lecompton constitution was under discus
ion in congress. On that occasion at least the
Executive was with the south. We can but sup
,ose that Mr. Foote is anxious once more to
Jet into public life, and believes the surest plan
# accomplishing that end is 10 join Douglas
nd his party.
MExIco,-The steamship Quaker City at n
Orleans, brings intelligence Of another reyolu-
ion in Mexico and the overthrow of the gov
mment. 1t appears that DogolIado (beral)
vas defeated in Guadalajara BY Miramon, with
he government forces, who marched into Mex
90 without interruption. A new party sprung
p, headed by Robes, and Ecbeagaray ia gov
rnment ofieeri pronounced in his favor, while
he scattered constituencies came to his sup
ort. Thus Robes derived strengthfrom both
factions. Zuloaga, tie president,
t first declared the city Of Mexico to be in a
tate Of siege, and announced Ills determine
on to defend it.against the rebels: but on d (
sober second thought he dispatched in am /
assador4o Robles and Echeagaray to propose |
compromise. Nothing could be done. Ii (
w days the forces Of Echeagaray were attack |
and defeated BY his old companions in arms. c
nd he became prisoner TO Zuoaga: but, un- i
for the latter, a fresh. revolt breaks
ut among the government forces in tie city in t
,yor Of Robes, by which zuloago was depos-
and forced to fee for safety to the house Of
re British minister, where he remains being |
fraid to venture out. Robes being thus adj q
anced to the head of affairs has opened a cor !
sspondence with Juarez' friends, and the re- t
alt was the election Of Marmon to the pres- a
ency. The next arrival viii bring us another I
Gene from this farce on free governments. 5
Great dissatisfaction was expressed through i
ut Mexico at the tone assumed in reference 10 i
lat government BY president Buchanan in lis t
nnual message. All parties and ciques con t
emn it; but the self-styled liberals are The !
udest in their denunciations. Poor fellows! .
e rejoice that they have at last found at least
ne point upon which they all agree.
