Senior Mata, the Mexican Minister of
Juarez, has resigned his post, and will leave
Washington within few weeks. This step
is supposed to have been taken in conse-
quence Of some difficulty between Juarez

ed the latter not to come here as IL Special
Minister, according to an understood arran-
cement. Mata is son in-law of Ocampo.

The Republican" presses at the North,
praise without stint, Senator Seward'sspeech.
They seem to think it is the ne PITS ultra of
eloquence, philosophy, calm reasoning, and
patriotism. They scatter it al over the
country on their pages, and exhort to its
perusal, every body who can read. They
call upon their friends to adopt It's deelara

The New York Herald discusses the chan
ces of nomination by the Charleston Con-
vention-who is to be the man-and who is
not to be the man--and finally comes to the
sage conclusion, "that it is impossible to tell
exactly, from present indications, how the
cat will jump.!" Undoubtedly, the Herald
is correct for once.

The Baltimore American speaking OF the
late Virginia Wing Convention says:-"Al-
together, the meeting in council Of the Fir-
GINA Opposition, has resulted in great good,
not only TO the State itself. but to the whole

to conservative men throughout the Union,
which they will not be slow to initiate"

pondent, and in theregular synopsis from the

Let it be borne in mind-and let the
Northern Sectionalists, be held to it,--that
their leaders, whose speeches they endorse,
whose sentiments they adopt, whose opinions
they avow-not the Garrisons, Phillips and
other such fanatics to whom they profess to
hold no allegiance-but the Stewards, Ii
coins, and men of that stamp, declare that
with Slavery IN the States they have and
can have nothing to do-and that John
Brown committed murder and treason, and
his course is not to be defended. We repeat,
what we have said before, that it is impor-
tant to reeollect that, in 1860, this was
the Republican, authorized, creed. 1t is i'm
material what faith we may put in it--for
the purpose in view. We want TO see if in
1862 the same creed will be acknowledged
by the same party-if it is in existence.

Hon. Jere. Clemens, formerly Senator
Of the U. S., and now editor of the Memphis
Enquirer, in reply to some remarks touching
his consistency in politics-as he is now a
Wing, says:-.'We have never taken any
pains to vindicate our consistency. After
voting for Martin Van Buren,, in 1910, and
for Frank Pierce, in 1852, we freely concede
that the record is indefensible, and we place
our whole reliance for forgiveness upon the
Christians hope-repentance."

The Republican party, we see, is for adopt
ing the free home" platform in its creed
for putting stop to the sale of the public
lands, and for ''dedicating them" to use its
own language, ''to free homes for free men,"
The Democratic party, have had, from the
force of circumstances, and the overpower-
ing necessity of yielding at last, to political
truth and political justice, to take up more
than once, WIG doctrine, in the practical
administration of the government, and we
should not be surprised, at all, to see. yet,
the great Wing measure, of a distribution OF
the proceeds Of the sales of the public lands,
urged and advocated by the leaders of the
Democratic party. Some of the best men OF
that party, already, admit that to that
complexion it must come, = if the old States
are to enjoy equal rights and equal benefits
with the new corners. The Republican par
ty are prepared to deprive US of all our
rights, in this particular, as in many others.

Several slaves who had been emancipated,
and who according to law, would have to

Corporation Court of Norfolk to remain,
preierring to return to slavery rather than
turn their backs upon old Virginia.

We are not the political friends of sena-

We are not the political friends of Sena-
tor Douglas, but we cordially endorse some
of his senti ments in reply to Senator Sew
ard. He asked-'what is the Union worth
unless the Constitution is preserved invio-
late?" Sir" said he, Il have no faith in
the Union loving sentiments OF those who
viii not carry out the constitution in good
faith, as our fathers made it. Professions Of
fidelity to the Union will be taken for naught,
unless they are accompanied with obedience
to the constitution upon which the Union
rests. Then am ready to insist that the
constitution shall be maintained inviolate
in all its parts, not only that which suits the
temper of the North, but every clause OF
that constitution, whether they like or dis
like it."
