phens. R. M. T. Hunter and Judge Camp

Abraham Lincoln the honor OF becoming a
peace commissioner aud give him further
notoriety for having taken The first oppor,u

A ehieftain and soldier Of another gene
ration has reaPpeared on the stage of Mex
lean politics. General Santa Anna, whose
name is famous 10 Newspaper readers of
twenty years g as the leader Of the Mex
lean armies who resisted the c~onquering
progress Of Generals Scott and Taylor in
the Mexican War, has issued an address 10
the Mexican people, from his exile at st.

milan of the imperial purple. This docu-
mentI though its authenticity yet lacks con-
frmAtion, bears the marks of emansting
from the old chief sirce he has ever
shown his determination to be mixed up
in all the troubles of his country. Having
met 8 rejection of his proffer of feslty from
Macmillan on the Inauguration of the m
pire, he has finally, according to this proc
lAmation, after a seclusion of several sddi-
tional months, put himself erect again on
his one leg, and come out in favor of the
republic. He alludes to his early recogni-
ton of the empire, and apologies for it by
saying that st the time it appeared to be
the best form of government for The coun-
try but events have shown him the error
of this belief; that the nstionsl dignity
has been condemned, justice denied, though
enslsved, the mcst holy rights trodden In
der foot prostitution elevated and virtue
vilifed; and now he calls upon liberals
and conservatives TO unite TO drive out the
invaders, and to join in the cry of Liberty
or Death The manifesto concludes with
the motto, "Down with the Emplrel Live
