~ The Secretary Of State, Wm. Sew.
ard, has seen proper to write long let.sr
On the SANTA ANNA question history Of the
country 80 far as our connection With Mexico
Is concerned, Stewards letter is very non.
oommittal, as is usually the case with the
state papers Of that wiley politician bu.
the purport Of i. is, that he has been inform.
ed tha. Santa Anna left New York in the
Virginia, United States vessel, for Vera
Cruz; az a passenger that. after arriving
there be wss forced to 60 aboard of another
U S, vessel, the Lacony, the commander of
which, in the word Of Seward, roughly
laid his hand or the arm of sencr Santa
Anna" and that he was finally surrendered
TO the Mexicans, in whose hands he now lie,
II alive. His fate is uncertain. The ques.
.ion is disagreeable one SO "a. as the gov
ernment' is concerned, in fact rather dis.
graceful; for that this old and decrepid man
should be surrendered into the hands of his
inplacable enemies, for no reason, from the
deck Of q u 8. vessel, is unaocountahle
But the Government" seems prepared to

Why Congress Meets.

The real reason for the ascembling Of
Congress in extra session is to vote away
more money to carry on the campaign among
She negroes in the South. It is only since
sickles has written to Washington, stating
1ha. he could not get along in the Carcllnas
without more money than was appropriated
for tie whole South, that it became certain
.ha: majority Of the Radicals would be
p.ssen: in July. The u.ore money is e1.
pended the greater the chances for their
friends to enrich themselves BY stealing. In
the meantime the masses Of the North are
taxed until they are little better than slaves,
bu. wha. do those who asstme to be their
masters care for that2 The negroes must
all Be t.o..ed.o the polls with Radical tickets
IN their paws, 90 ms!tar koT many millions
1t may cost.

PROSPECTS.

The Democracy Of the country were never
more on the alert than they arc now; and
the feeling among them 10 Of that wholesome
character which presages ultimate success
The day Of spasmodic effort has passed,
and there is q growing disposition to march
on under tho old banner, turning neither to
the right hand or the left, until victory is
accomplished This is the spirit which
must actuate the party in order that its
misaion shall be accomplished and in our
judgment this spirit is spreading 80 rapidly
that not much more time will elspse
before We shall have restored to US the reign
Of Jetfersonian and Jacksonian principles.
The public mind moves slowly, except in
times Of extraordinary excitement; but this
very slowness adds to it's sureness, 60 to
speak, on the principle that the sober, Sec
end thought Of the people is always right.
Therefore let not the true friends Of Freedom
dispair, or halt on the way, casting about
for staff here Or prop there; but keeping
the eye on the casket which contains the
Jewel Of Liberty, albeit it may secm distant
and dim, press r.eadily forward, and our
euocess is as certain as the ultimate triumph
Of all truth.
And to accomplish this desirable result
the sooner, let us treat the Democratic Party,
a, party, fairly; that is, let her have
chance to show her inherent purity, at all
events, BY keeping her clear Of the factions
Of the day. Thus she will manifest her
real strength, and that very manifestation
will have the effect Of bringing to her ranks
the proper minded men Of the country,
thereby leaving the various factions and
;sns to devour each other, as they invari
ably do when not encouraged by the adoption
Of falae and time.serving policy. Let the
Democratic Party be party to itself

psy- The execution of Maximilion, by the

death Of this unfortunate young man, shot
in cold blood, lies at the door of the United

have received from that Supreme old ass,
Seward, no such disgrace to civilization
