sons intelligence. SEch We regard
some OF the assertions in an article
under the caption OF political Par
ties" which appeared in the Register
of the 18th. Its declaration that the
Democratic party died in 1852, along
with the Whig party, is one 50 evil
IDENTITY untrue that we are astonished
any sane man should give it utteranco.
Again, it says that the Missouri
Compromise was repealed against the
will Of the people," 1t would be well
for the Register, when making such
broad assertions to accompany them
with modlcum OF proof. No party,
save a wing of the American, has ey-
er advocated restoration Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, to our knowledge.
The democrats don't want it restored,
neither do the Republicans. Ii re.
pealed against the will OF the people
in 1854 Gt was virtually repealed in
1850 why has it not ere this been re.
enacted ? Other assertions of the Reg
lister in the same article are also un-
sustained by the truth of history; and
its attempt to palayer democrats and
old wings at one and the same time,
is positively laughablo.

Highly Important News-NOrIh-
ern Mexico to be Seized by the United
States,
BY reference to another column, it
will be seen that our Government has
determined to seize the Northern
States Of Mexico. The Inhabitants of
those States, comprising Tamaulipas,
New Leon, Coahuila, chihuahua and
Sonora, are completely at the mercy
of Mexican brigands and Indians,
who murder the people, levy coutri-
buttons and destroy property atpleas.
ure, without fear of chastisement. II
this were all, however, it is likely our
government would not interfere; but
the brigands and Indians mako incur.
sioDs into Texas, and after numbering
and robblng all they desire, flee back
to Mexican territory, where Govern
ment troops have had no right to pur.
sue them, The Mexican Government
is too weak to enforce the treaty with
this country, and can neither chastiso
brigands and Indians nor deliver them
up to the United States. The seizure
Of Northern Mexico, therefore, is jus.
tifable on the ground of self protec-
tion-the first law of nature and of
nations. We have borne with the
outragcs of the Mexican petty chiefs
quite too long already. The whole
Rio Grande frontier is now reported
to be oyerrun with robbers, belonging
to the band Of Cortinas, who ayows
his purpose to reconquer Texas. The
American population have mostly fed
toward the eastern part OF the State.

In New York part Of the Democrat
ic State ticket is elected. In 1856 the
Republicans had Il majority over the
Democrats ofnincty thousand.
In Illinois, the local elections show
an increased Democratic majority in
tho State, and the Democrats carry
the Sixth Congressional District by
five thousand majority, thus securing
that State to the Democrats in case
the election Of President should 20 to
the uouse.
In Wisconsin, which usually gives
from seven to fen thousand Republi.
can majority, the race for Governor is
very close, showing large Democratic
gains, and leaving the State doubtful
IN the coming contest for President.
iu Ohio and Pennsylvania the op-
position majority has been greatly re.
duced from last yeas.
On the whole, We see nothing dis,
cOuraging in the late elections. The
overwhelming nlajoritioS against the
Democracy IN 1856 in New York, Ohio
and other northern States, have been
gradually rodnced. With wise selec,
tions for our standard bearers next

JOnN L. MARTIN, OF THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WoREs.-We copy into the
Statesman of this morning an article
from the Piqua Enquirer, in relation
to the letting Ofthe Dayton Aqueduct,
which will attract the public atten.
ton. Mr.. Martin admits that the job
was let at sum Of $3,402 O9 higher
than the bid OF holland & Berting, who
were prepared to enter into bond for
the performance OF the work. The
reason assigned in the letter of Mar.
tin is ludiclous indeed. The fact is,
the job was intended for a political ia.
vorite. What has been done in this
case will no doubt prove to be the
general practice in the lettings OF the
Board. From the fact that there was
an apparent attempt to shield this
Board in the last Legislature by those
who should have exposed its miscon.
duct, it seems to think it can act H0y
with impunity, and violate it's doiy
aud justice whenever it pleases. The
Piqua Enquirer promises to give the
history Of another contract which Mr..
Martin awarded to political favorites
in that city.-COIumbus Statesman.

1--WE continue to receive the
most cheering news in regard to the
prosperity Of Ireland. Crime and
pauperism are constantly diminishing
as the necessaries and even comforts
Of life are much more easily attained =.
Thousands ofthe middle classes in the
country are becoming rich, and are
ouying mp the estates Of English ab-
sentee owners. The Dublin CORES.
pondent Of the New York Herald
states that Of the sales in the concen.
trated Estates Conrt, six thousand two
hundred and eight lots, out of nine
thousand two hundred and lhirty.Eine,
were bought by Irish purchasers. 1t
is predicted, within five years Ireland
will become, from causes now in opor-
alton, one of the most prosperous
countries in Europe. This state Of
affairs will materially reduce the Irish
emigration to the United States. We
shall not, probably, witness in q long
time the scenes OF 184S-9-50, when a
quarter Ola million OF Irish, mainly in
consequence OF the hard times at
bome, abandoned it forever and came
to the United States.
