| Wnlcn Is perennial; OF the coffee eS-
tates, upon which ninety acres will
produce $15, 200 annually; of the ex-
traordinary profusion of fruits which
are planted to shade the coffee, which
pay the expenses of culture, and
which were so varied that one indi-
vidual could have q different fruit on
his table almost every week in the
year. Of course, you hear nothing
of fevers, reptiles nor insects. Cue
rillas and Indians are nothing. The
Mexicans no longer object to heretics
and Northmen. Whenever you hear
the American speak in this manner,
it means expansion. Some new coun-
try is destined to be the sixteenth
Mrs. Shuffleton. 1t is inevitable.
Now, when these people shall have
begun to extinguish the Camanches,
| lynch robbers, build railroads, and
open trade with the mother coun-
| try, we shall behold the national
brow relax. It will be said, ''These
men are of the old stock; behold how
our institutions and language are ex-
panding." These men, like Sam
Houston, will revisit their country,
IN q part of which they have boon
once so unpopular, and will be re-
celved with pride rs men who have
carried civilization and progress into
new regions. Their overturcs for a
political connection will be listened to
with attention, and it is not impossi-
bic the whole Gulf curve may look to
New Orleans as it's New York, and to
Washington city as its seat of Govern
ment. Quie.s srbc
Humboldt says the climate of
Mexico is in layers. You ascend
from eternal summer to perpetual
snow. It is in the temperate and
fertile valleys, which represent the
climate most acceptable to the North
crn races, that these men propose to
mako their homes 1t is where the
heat does not enervate, nor the cold
chill. It is where the world-staples
grow with little labor, and enable the
planter to command with their price
all the luxuries of modern civilization.
Now, q climate of scventy-cight de-
grees average, with little fiuctuation; "a
valley fertile as the Delta; snow-fcd
streams glowing through fertile fields;
orange groves and pine-apples as
cotton, with quiet and content, are

the exodus of these disobcdicnt chill

it. But c'est cgal, it will I'LL come

but we shall go to them. If they
stand fast, the progress of their race
will cover their position; they will
again be reunited with those they
love. Open land, with buildings and
enclosures, may DC rented cheap in

San Luis Potosi, seventy-fivo acres in

Labor of the natives is said to be
worth from eighteen cents to fifty
cents per day. The laborers arc
docile and sufficiently Industrious.
At the same time, however, that
these Inducements are held out to the
people of the Southern States to I'M
migrate, is it wise on the part OF the
more extreme men of the North to
drive them away by the impolicy of
confiscation and exclusion? The
staple question is now of great impor-
tance to the laboring and consuming
millions of the North Cotton
clothing is very high. Groceries
have perhaps quadrupled their price,
whilst exchangeable commodities no
longer purchase these Indispensable
articles to the same extent as for
merly. Massachusetts is of opinion
that labor should be organized to pro-
duce cotton for the good of the coun-
try. Why then pursue = policy cal
cnlatcd to discourage and cxpel men
who would willingly and gratefully
accept the situation and renew their
original relations? Why cannot they
enter into competition in the produc-
ton of important staples? These
are questions time and returning
