Our Relation with Mexico.

A leading paper La Sociedad publish.
ed at the Mexican capital, has the following
article in reference TO the attitude of the
United States:
We do not believe in the imminence of
declaration Of war against Mexico and
France, nor in the immediate danger Of on
American invasion. But that which seems
to us scarcely less offensive is that neither
can one confide in the protestations Of neu.
lrality by Mr.. Johnson-that there is room
for presumlng that, although he might be
sincere and we'll disposed, he would per-
ceiSe il impossible TO exlinguish the confa,
grafton whose elements accumulate OH the
frontier. That in fine, in the actual state
Of affairs and Of feeling, The menaoing atli-
tude of the American Government cannot
do less than retard indefinitely the pacifca.
ton Of Mexico depreciate its credit, para
lyze enterprise, encourage the disaifected,
and discuncert all calculations, military, po.
litcal, and financial. We know that the
Cabinet Of Washington finds itself assailed
and besiegsd by grave internal occupation
| that it has 10 reconstruct the Union, organize
the labor of the negroesn and sustain grand
parliamentary struggles. But also it is
known that il views with an evil eye the
French standard in Mexico and the found
ing Of a Monarchy on this continent, and
that while it maintains in reserve this i'm
portanl question, it will endeavor to resolve
il IN accordance with the sentiment of pop
uIar impalience and republican traditions
| It ia possible TO foresee, therefore, that ever
if it does not openly combat the interven'
ton and the empire, at least il will endeav.
or to agitate Mexico, TO weary, by means OIL
continual alarms, the expeditionary forces
to lei the French army exhaust itself, to en-
ervate the empire, and excite the interna
enemies, with the purpose with greater safe
ty, Of precipitating itself when the day o
official rupture shall arrive.
This dissolving policy cannot be tolera

honor and the safety Of the expeditionarl
flag will not permit her TO remain long un

We hope, then, that before the year eX

will be placed under the necessity of fling

A Good Promise We'll Kept.

We find in the New York Evangelist
the following:
A quarter of century ago faithful minis.
ter Of the Gospel, of Northern birth, was
preaching in Florida and was called 10 SET
tie over one of the best churches in that
State. The salary offered was large, the
people were united, and the position most
attractive and inviting in all respects but
one. He could not bear to bring up his
family under the influences Of slavery, and
so, in spite of their entreaties, he declined
the invitation. But when leaving this at
tached people, he said that as he was q
young man he did not despair Of OUTLYING
Slavery, and if ever that day should come
he would return and preach to them once
more. With that purpose in his heart, he
came North, and for more than twenty years
has labored as pastor in the State of Ill
inois. At length he sees the desire of his
heart accomplished, Slavery is dead and he
is now on his way back to the South, there
TO spend the rest of his days in preaching
the Gospel, where now there will be M
restraint upon his liberty.

ACCESSIBILITY Of continuing its existence un-
Ill provisions are no longer needed by either

American and English capitalists talk Of

TO produce cotton in India, proves discOur-
aging. To remove upprehcnsions of secu.

late Of the Freelmens Bureau of Louisiana

Mr. King, one of the pilots Of the Inflated
Niagara, arrived here this evening, and fur
nishes the following additional particulars:
TIC loss of life is fifty to seventy. five, and
those principally negro soldiers. A few
deck hands are supposed 70 be drowned
No officers are missing. The boat is lost
The cargo consisted of 200 tons, including
loo bales Of cotton. The cargo was con-
signed principally 10 Memphis and Cairo
The accident occurred about 8 P. N. on the
oath, eight miles above Helena. Each
boat gave the proper signal when sufficiently
far apart to easily pass. The Post Boy
struck the Niagara amidsbips. Being deeply
laden, she passed under the guards. of the
Niagara, and passed through her hull TO the
h',rger engine. The Niagara sunk in from
three to five minutes after being struck to
| the boiler deck. Mr.. King says when he
left she lay straight, and thinks if the bell
boats reach her in time they can sage her.
The Post Boy was uninjured.- Republican,.

And awaits my spirit too
For oil human ties that bind me,
For the task my Goo assigned me;
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that can do.

Who suffered for my sake,

And follow in their wake;

Whose deeds crown history's pages;
And Times great volume make.

With all that is divine,
To feel that there is a union

To profit by affection,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfil each grand design.
live TO hail that season
BY gifted minds foretold,
When man shall live by reason,
And moi alone by gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be Ighted
AS Eden was of old.

For the wrong that needs resistance,
