prndcdence plainly Was 10 keep close
mouth on lie matter Of slavery, which he
Gid. Things went along very well under
this rule fer short time, when a new and
unexpected test was applied 10 bis SYM

failed 10 tuild as good fire from green
wood as the overseer wanted, the slave
was ordered to be thrown down by the

Juarez, tho President The Mexican re
public, with whom The Nc Lane treaty
was made, is thus described:
The copsttntiounal President Of Mexico
IS a pure Ihdian Of that Toltic race, 81
who's history we have some account az
la back as the seventh censArg. Pres
ident Jaarez Is as much sesf made man
rs ex-President Var Buren,, Coy. Banks
or Senator Wilson. lie WAS torn ii THE
State Of 0ajacs, aud when running about
the streets Of Oajaca, ragged urchen
selling fruit, his Intelligence and good
nature attracted the notice Of a Mexican
who took him into his house
as a servant. The young Indian eyinced
80 much fidelity and capacity in bis new
position, that his patron sent him TO sch0ol,
and finally gave him til best educa-
ton tho colleges Of Mexico afforded. The
Intian Juarez rose TO pe Lawyer and
BY the sutffages Of the people vas made
Judge of the Supreme Court Of the Rep
ubiic, in virtue Of which be became Pres
iden' under the constitution when Com
fort abdicated. Ia private life Juarez
is without reproach, and as a patriot he
is without tain.
Though in favor Of the sequestration Of
the church property and the suppression
Of the monastic houses, Jaarez is a Cath
olic.
From Washington.
