The editorial eYcursionists from Ala

1llden, at his residence in Grammercy
Park, to-day. The Governor addressed
them, expressing his pleasure at bidding
them welcome to the North and the hope
and trust that hereafter there will be
more intercourse between the two sec
tions, and that we shall stand thoroughly
united with the common purpose Of
establishing and perpetuating good 60
vernment everywhere. Hon. r. II.
Powell, of Union Springs, responded,
returning thanks to the Governor for his
cordial greeting, and agreeing with him
IN a remark that if the people of the two
sections had known each other better,
the devastation of the late war would not
have occurred. Everywhere, he said. in
the North, they had been received with
open hands and open arms, and they
have found that the people of this Sec
ton OF country entertain for the South
the most kindly sentiments, which are
most cordially reciprocated. They have
determined for the future to co-operate
with gentlemen of the North in securing
and perpetuating our common country.

prehensive that unless prompt measures
be taken with regard to the continued
raids on the Texas border, the United
States and Mexico mny become involved
in serious difficulties. There is no doubt
the Mexican Government, MS it has re-
peatedly informed our own in reply to
frequent protests, is anxious for the re-
moval OF all causes that could possibly
produce conflict of arms between the
two countries; but the border being far
from the capital, it cannot exercise it's
desired control over the Northern States
