LARGEST CRY IN TIE WoRLD.-If the following
account is true, London is no longer the metropolis
of our planet That distinction belongs to the ia
pancse city of Jeddo which correspondent of the
Boston TrdrGIer thus describes:
But what shall | say Of this greatest and most
singular of all cities? volume is needed to de-
scribe it, without attempting to give its history
have read of old Nineveh and Babylon 6elOU the
ground, and seen ard handled the works of arts
which have been diSnerred and created so much
admiration on both sides of the Atlantic; but one
living Jeddo above the ground is worth hundred
oil fOgy cities below it. | cannot give you an idea
of it. it is so unique so unlike everything except it.
self, and so Impossible as you will think. | have
seen several places Of interest and maintained a
cool head, but | was bewildered and conlounded
when | saw this. 1t is situated on the western
shore of this charming gulf twenty miles wide by
tweny-iour long, TO which the Lake liberals is
nothing except in the sacred feet which once trod
its shores. 1t stretches for twenty miles and
along beach of semi-crcular FORM with Its
horns turned outward, and along which a street ex-
tends, crowded with blocks Of stores and houses
and tecming with moving crowds, while shop
keepers, artisans, women, and children equally
numerous within doors and at the doors. Indeed
a dozen fifteen miles might be added to the length
of the city III this direction since there is nothing
but an unbroken succession of towns and villages
for this distance which are as pOpulous and well
built as the city>itselE
"In crossing the city from the shore to the west
ern outskirts | have walked two miles and hall,
and then proceeded on horseback for ten miles more,
making twelve miles and half in the whole while
in other places it may be wider still According to
the lowest estimate the city covers equal to
seven of the New England farming towns, which
were usually six miles square. And all is traversed
by streets, usually wide well constructed perfectly
neat and crossing each other at right angles streets
lined with houses and stores as compactly as they
can be built, and crowded with moving and station
airy masses as thick as in our Washington street
New York, Broadway, at least for considerable dis
tanccs. The population is estimated generally at
three millions, which Mr.. Harris, our minister,
thinks is no exaggeration. For my part, judging
from what have seen when have gone into the
the heart of the city, and crossed the city from side
to side, should be willing to add as many millions
more; for the living moving masses seen from sun
rise to sunset, and everywhere the same, fairly
seemed beyond computation"

INSTABILITY OF GOVERNMENTS IN MExCo-A re-
markable fact was stated by the Hon. Mr.. Cox, of
Ohio, in his recent speech in the United States
House of Representatives, illustrative of the civil
dlscord to which Mexico has been prey since 1925.
From that period to the present time Mexico has
had thirty five governments and seventytwo execu
tves! Only two of her executives have ever served
full term-Vittoria, her first President and Herra
ra at the close of our war with Mexico. But these
happy exceptions can hardly be called such, when
we remember their perils and troubles their antag-
onists with pronuncamentoes and their wars to put
down insurgents. Nothing can more fully and con-
clusivey demonstrate the Incapacity of the Mexican
population for sefgovernment than the above Yet
with all her internal feuds and her foreign nvasons
her marauding Indians her thieving leperos, Next
cos energy has been wonderfully recuperative, and
resources seem inexhaustbly bountiful What might
she not become under liberal protection given to
her industry, her commerce, and her property.

Mr.. HOLDEN: In your last paper there were two
communications on the subject of appointing
ElectOr TO supply the place of Mr.. Cameron. On
the whole the writers may be correct, perhaps are.
But is it matter of any consequence who makes
the nomination, provided we have the right man,
and one acceptable to the District? We claim TO
know the feelings, and think, the wishes of
the people, and we hazard nothing in saving (whle
there may be others quite fit for the place. Henry
W. Miller is the man for the occasion. lie was, in
days gone by, Wing, (when that party claimed to
be conservative) opposed to all constitutional
form-holding all compromises sacred. What
are the opposition now-radcal in the extreme
trying to make an important change in our State
Constitution, and to break down the Democratic
party in their contest with the black Republicans,
whilst they well know they have no more chance to
elect their man, than they had in the last contest
to elect Fillmore Let the Convention nominate
Millcr-the counties will with acclamation confirm
the nOminatiOn-and we shall have Sampson
amongst the PhilliStncS.

TO THE VOTERS OF NASH B'l COUNTY OF SI11f'''

fELLow-CITIzENs You will soon be called on to
select by your votes at the ballot-box suitable per-
sons to represent you in the General Assembly of
North-Carolina l feel exceedingly grateful to the
people of the County for having twice shown their
partalty for me, in eecting their representative
IN the Commons. 1t is my duty however, to say to
you that my private interest at home forbids that
Should again be candidate for a seat in the next
General Assembly. And although | regret to part
with the gallant Democrats of Nash who have fought
galaEtly for the good of the party, yet l know
that We have host of Democrats in Nash who will
make good and faithful public servants-and to you
will say, let us not differ and divide upon any
State issue which may be agitlted before the people
These vehement appeals made by the Opposition
party of the State to go for convention to change
the constitution of the State sink into insignfence
when compared with the great Importance Of pre-
serving the union of these States We have par
ty at the North known the black Republican par
ty, protesting principles at with the Constitu-
ton and anagonstic with the interest Of the South.
The Democratic party is the only party in this Union
that can overcome the higher law party Of the North
and that is TO he tested in November next and up
on the result of that election may depend the per-
petulty Of this Unon-so let us not divide upon
State issues but go the polls in August next and
give our hearty support to John W. Ellis, our able
Democratic candidate for Governor; and in NOvem.
Der next, we should all, as true and conservative
men, unite on the nominee of the Charleston Conven-
ton, and in this way may defeat the black Re-
publican party of the North and save the Union.

THE LEMON SLAVE CAsE-We learn from the AL
bany Atlas and Argus that the celebrated lie non
slave case has finally been decided by the New
York Court of Appeals, affirming the judgment of
the court below-that is to say, denying the right
of holding slaves in New York, though merely in
transitu. Justice Clarke, Comstock, and Selden
dssented. The matter presented to the court by
Mr.. John Jay-viz: that as Mr.. Lemon had been
compensated for his property he not entitled to
a judgment-was rejected as irrelevant. We con-
TESS that had anticipated that the decision of the
court below would be reversed and the actual judg-
ment rendered accordingly disappoints u.s. Wash
