In presenting this work to the Public, the Pub
fishers actuated by desire to furnish a cheap
and convenient vehicle for the transmission of light
and instruction to the masses upon subject con-
cerning which, there is both doubt and misappre-
hension in the minds Of all classes of our country
men, This has arisen as much, perhaps, from the
heretofore imperfect sources of intelligence ccncern-
ing that unhappy country as from the influence of
our domestic politics upon the questions growing out
of the consideration of It's History. The Revolution
through which our own Country has just passed has
not been without its influence though indirectly up-
on the fortunes of the Mexican Nation, and while
we contemplate the wonderful changes wrought in
the United States by five years of strife are nat
urally led to inquire the results achieved by the
revolutions OF our Southern Sister once the Repub-
lie and nowth Empire of Mexico. Our Author
has answered this inquiry in both satisfac-
tory and conclusive, in the Volume we have Just is
sued from the Press, and we commend it to the cti
Zens OF the United States as an invaluable contr-
button 10 cotemporaneous History. Mr. Flint clear
y demonstrates among other things, that the Maxi
milan Government in Mexico is firmly established
that the people have abandoned Juarez Whose troops
ere said to consist of but few bands Of guertl-
las) and Joined Maximilian and that the popular
preJudlces IN this Country against the establish
ment of an Empire IN Mexico are wrong because in
asserting the Monroe Doctrine we are running coun-
ter to the wishes of the Mexican people and taking
from them their exclusive right to settle their own
affairs in their own way and to their own satisfaction
Facts and documents presented to show tha the
Empire is maintained now withouH the aid of France
and solelyby the Mexican peope-the merchant
clergy, and better sort of people generally The
book gives good insight into the policy which our
own Government has pursued in Mexican affairs as
well as many facts and statistics of interest and val
ue.
Ii the Mexican people have chosen a constitutional
monarchy as cure for the anarchy which for so
many years convulsed the Republic, and if their
ohpraa kr,rnc
say to them Put away peace, law, prosperity and
the Empire, and take back faction war; lawlessness
ruin and the Republic;

time their reputation has extended until They have
a sale in excess of all other Cathartc and Purify

civilized nations who have not personal evidence OF
their beneficial effects. Their great success is ow-

Their combined effect is, to regulate the impaired

A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICISE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paraly re the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ueerat-
cd and eruptiye surfaces of the skin deluged
in vain must give place to the who restores
his health and appetite with from to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
DR.. Maggiels Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiels Pills rectiies
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact MaggicTs Bilious. Dyspeptie and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fair While for
Burns, Scalds, Ghibains, Cuts, and all abrassions
OF the skin, Maggiei's Salve is infailible.
