The news from Mexico continues of thu

The news from Mexico continues of the
tenor that has prevailed through all tidings
from that wretched country for forty years.
Recently there was infused into the ruling
authority something of humanity, virtue,
and wisdom, but with the cooperation of
these United States these virtues were ex-
.tinguished in the murder of MACMILLAN,
whose blood is upon the Federal Govern
ment. Now all is confusion, and the coun-
try is torn by the rivalries and feuds of the
bloody and brutal military aspirants.
Nothing can end this national misery but
the interposition Of the Federal Govern
ment and the annexation of Mexico to the
United States. 1t would seem to be nothing
more than o measure of common prudence
that peace, order, harmony, and prosperity
should be secured to these States before our
Government should attemptt to bring order
out of chaos elsewhere; but, really, we
should be glad to know that these blessings
were sent to some other people, although
denied to US

one Of the objects Of the postpone

conviction Of the President. The impeach-

The AuTHoR.-The prevalent opinion is
that. old THAD is on terms Of ciyility at
least with the devil. BY some it is be-
heyed that the relation between them is
governed more by fear than love on the
part Of the devil: insomuch that the dream
of the editor in THAD's principal town
seemed natural, as it represented the Prince
of Hades. Directing to the admission Of
THAD into his dominions,s and ordering
fuel to be furnished him outside, that he
might set up q hell of his own1 There was
no surprise, therefore, when, in speech
to the General Conference Of the African
Methodist Church in Washington, few
days since, he made the following frank
admission: = That it was in measure
through the agency Of the internal re-
gions that his colored friends had be-

Mr. JEFFERsON's LETTER.-The letter of
Mr.. JEFFERSON, which we publish in
another column, more than iustifes MI that
Mr.. JOHNSON has done in contempt of the
tenure of-ofice act. The right doctrine is
that the President must respect his oath to
preserve and protect the Constitution, and
therefore should not execute laws which he
conscientiously and intelligently believes
to be unconstitutional, but that he acts
upon his convictions at the risk of impeach-
.ment. We say "intelligently," for it is
clear case that it would never do to entrust
such a. discretion to all men. For in
stance, HORACE GREELEY is one of the most
successful editors and effective partisan
writers in this country. On politico-eco-
nomical questions he writes powerful and
convincing articles sometimes. Yet no
LAWYER could read the editorials which have
appeared in that journal during the last ten
days upon the subject of the impeachment
trial without perceiying that Mr.. GREELEY
is not one whit more capable Of understand
ing the constitutional or legal questions in
volyed in that trial than blind man is of
between colors. He cannot
see the points inthe case. He is absolutely
incapable of comprehending how senator,
acting on oath, could, in the Senate, de-
nounce Mr.. JOHNSON, and yet vote against
his conviction of high crimes and INSIDE
1t is not given to all men to un-
constitutional questions. There
fore, while it is the Presidents bounden
duty to protect the Constitution by disre-
garding unconstitutional laws, he does SO at
the risk Of punishment if he make mis-
take. rs -l.s sa&

General GRANT is pressed with a per-
sistency by the Herald to speak out which
with one who did not know the Herald,
would indicate belief in that paper that
the pressing would bring him out. The
Herald has no such idea, and General
GRANT minds it not at all. Next week the
Herald may urge him to keep his mouth
shut, and then there would be ground to
anticipate that the General would become
garrulous, and let out all he knew and all
he intended to do

LoGAN's sPEEcH.-Of all the speeches by

The Massachusetts, Z" General Court" as
the Legislature of that State is called, is
entitled to much credit. One House, by a
vote of 100 to SO, postponed the considera-
ton of resolutions condemning all inter-
ference with the action of the United States
Senate in regard to impeachment. The
other House referred to.a committee SINH
lar resolution. Very good for such State.

AS one vote would have changed the re-
suit in the senate-thirty-six to eighteen
would have removed the President-it is
unnecessary to attempt to give any better
reason for our belief, entertained to the
last, that Mr.. JOHNSON would be convicted.
Only one vote out of fifty-four stands be-
tween our prediction and the fact. We
credit that one to our apprehensions, and
rejoice with them that rejoice over the
event.
