NEW YORK HER New Vork, Sunday, ™ 1, sas, ——— = The Crisis in our Mextcan Relations, Weawait with much anxiety the developments of events among our neighbors of Mexico. Since the assumption of the chief power by Paredes, we have been constantly kept on the qui vive, by a suc- cession of rumors of various kinds, speaking of re- volution and war; but nothing certain or decisive has happened since the event referred to. Mean- time, the disposition of the ruling powers in Mexi- Co is no secret, and enough ot their acts has appear- ed to show that they are in earnest, so fur as they canbe. They have positively refused e!! our overtures for the establishment of friendly relations, and have sent back our Minister, Mr. Slidell, without even allowing him a passportas an accredited agent cf our Government — By our last advices from Mexi- co, via New Orleans, and from Washington, we learn that Mr. Slidell left the city of Mexico the 17th ult., under an escort from the Goverament. We commend the course of Mr. Polk in endea- voring to open negotiations, and avert, if possible, the necessity of war; and although hitnerto his et- fort has been unseccessful, it is the no less com- mendable; and should this wfliir eventually result in war, it will never be a cause of regret or reproach to us that we did as much as in us lay to avert such a calamity. We do not wish to be understood, in thus speaking, that that war is to be the end of this difficuliy. It may yet be determined without an absolute rupture, and we hope it may; but the prospect is warlke, and the promises of peace are overshadowed by the dark and sinister forebodings of war, perchance a small one with Mexico—perhaps a terrible one witha portion of Eu- Tope. It was observed sometime ago, in an article we published on the matter of Oregon, that it ap- peared asif, in the warlike clamor raised on that question, we had becn, to use a popuiar and sig nificant figure of speech, “barking up the wrong tree,” and that the shell was likely sooner to burst ina very different quarter. It is by no means im- probable that our prediction may soon be veri- fied. It will be seen by @ reference to the ac- counts we last published from Mexico, that a dou- ble and simultaneous movement has taken place. Our army is reported to have advanced, and that of Mexico preparing to advance, to take up an hostile Positions. ’ This looks something like invasion, and the ac- count is corroborated by our private information. Our cabinet has not been idle, nor will the Mexicans find us unprepared It is, indeed, tobe believed that the late Cubinet Council, mentioned in the Herald of Friday, as being summoned almost at mid- night, related in part to this matter~ The meeting was no doubt relative to Oregon more than to any other question, but the affairs of Mexico probably came in for their share of the debate. It is probable that the rash and foolish impetuosity of the Mexican leaders, and the pledge under which Paredes is held to recover Texas, and maintain the integrity of the nation, may have precipitated this movement. Nor is it, atthe same time, improbable that some encouragement by British assurances, and, perhaps, some aid with British funds, have gone hand n hand with the operations of the Mexicans. And to show the extent of the folly of the present government of Mexico, we need merely refer to the communications that have lately been published ia our columns, relating to the policy and influence of Almonte in the action and tendency of Mexican diplomacy. Almonte is now the master spirit of Mexico, and his ‘views have been fully developed in the Herald. We believe the time is arrived when these views, thus emanating from him, will be pat in execution, or an attempt made to do so. Ithas long been the desire of our government to bring the difficulties with Mexico to some definite conclusion. We have given proof of this, by being foremost, to offer the hand of peace ; but while in view of the menaces thrown out, we have not neglected the preparations for war. Mexico alone has held back and threatened, end her course has: been marked by duplicity and concealment.— But while our government has been all along anx- ious to lose no time in bringing Mexico to settle the difficulties between the two countries, yet following the dictates of a just and prudent policy, we believe we may affirm that the United States, though on the watch, and not to be caught unprepared, will not become the ac ual aggressor in a war, which may be of long duration; nor wi'l she be the par- ty that will strike the first blow. We may, and it 18, indeed, likely,’ however, that we shall blockade all the Mexican ports. Hitherto we have not committed ourselves by any hostile de- monstration, and itis to be hoped we sha!l con- tiaue to preserve the attitude and disposition of @ party in the right, and place our neighbors in the wrong,by the prudence and decision of our measures Meantime,while the Mexican army is on the move, our fleet is collecting in the Gulf of Mexico; and General Taylor having received orders to advance toward the Rio Grande, has already brok-n up his quarters at Corpus Christi, and by this time is no douot entrenched in @ more advanced position. While the movements now taking place on the | Mexican side are undoubtedly hostile, those on our side are, at present, only precautionary. We have our frigates in the Gult and on the Pacific, and our army on the Rio Grande, not to make war, but to prevent it ; not to attack, but to prevent attacks, and to secure our people on our frontiers from molestation and disturbance ; but, at the same time to show to our neighbor, the absolute necessity of an immediate settlement of all troubles with ua. If Mexico attempts to strike, then Mexico will nave begun the war; and the United States will not be found backward in meeting an enemy, wherever he is to be found. Oar relations with Mexico, it thus seems, are now reaching a crisis, and itis necessary for our government to act decisively aud energetically with her. The difficulties berween the two nations must be settled, and the sooner the better, tor all concerned. Action oF Inpivipvat Minn —It was observed by somebody—some grave philosopher or other—we can’t just now remember his name—that ail young men are radicals, all old men conservatives. That this is true in the political world, as a general rule, no one can deny. To be sure, old leaders may be pointed out among fhe radical parties, but in them ambition overcomes the tendency of age, which is to make men timid and fearful of change—of pro. gress. Itisthe bold inspiration of youthful blood that prompts men to practise severe surgery on the diseases ot the State. As in politics, so in religion. No old man ever begins religious reform; it is the young man, whose high aspirations have never been checked and dampened by the cold experience of the world’s sluggishness. In religion, the case of Brownson, lately converted from Protestantism, is a striking illustration. Io youth an ardent reformer, a zealous man of progress, a bold advocate of experiment, as he grows older he becomes a calm conservative in principle, tarns his back upon the future, and holds fast to the old state of things. Be he right, or be he wrong, we do not pretend to determine. As an illustration in the political world, we point to the young “democracie”—it is they who pro- grese, while their more antiquated brethen cling to the past. The sum of the whole matter is, that the action of individual mind 1s retrograde, while that of nations | and the world is onward. This may seem para- doxical, but it is none the Jess true, Snow Sroxm—This has certainly been a most remarkable month for snow storms. ft came in with a storm, and seems determined to go out in the same respectable manner. lLeommenced snow ing again yesterday about noon, and continued through the day and most of the might, accompanied by ahigh wind, which made very disagreeable tra- velling. This will make most excellent si lowever ellent sleighing, ALD. | INDEPENDENT aND Srvup NomivaTions.—At the | Tammany Hal! meeting, a few evenings since, phrase was used in the remarks of one of the speakers, which we apprehend has deeper meani: than perhaps either himself or his hearers under- stood at the time. He spoke of secret caucus no- minations as “an inferaal incubus which had been fastened upon the dimocratic party by wire-pullers and tricky managers.” The evils of these nominations, made by gene- ra! commitees, and directed by all the secret trick- eries and chicanenes of party, ere becoming very plain, and must inevitably work out their own cure. By the present system of nominating our city, Sate and national officers, it is plain that every op portunity in the world is given tor bribery acd cor ruption. We would not wish, by any meaue, to impeach the character of the commitiees and cou- ventions who take upon themselves the power of foisting upon their respective parties whom they choose. We merely wish to speak of the maaner” of doing the business. This is well known and | understood. Bat there has been so much trickery practiced 80 much cheatery made—so mai didates for various offices have bought their way through cau- cus—that we doubt not a very general system of stump and indep-ndeot nomiaauons will ere long take the ploce of the present aode. In our city, State end national »ffiirs men who “ have done the State some service,” and are favorably known to the people, will offer themselves as candidates for the various offices. The popular man wil, be the succesful candidate; and that wi hout any of the ‘bargain and sale” corruption to whieh the present system is liable. Appewling directly to the people, th y must be men known to the people, and known for their real merits, and aot made popular by party influence This system is practiced to a great extent in the Sonth and West, where the self appuinted candida’ takes the stamp, and talks and acts himsell ivto office, it he is the proper man for the people. We nouce, also, that it has been commenced in New Hampshire, and promises to be equally successtul. This is the true republican mode, and it it is practi- Theatrteals. Tang Tneatee —Notwithsignding the unexpected ill- ss of Mr Vandenheff, the beautiful comedy of the ‘Road to Rojo,” was performed lost night with unsur- passable brillianey—Mr. Bland baving kindly consent- ed to aseume the part of Harry Dornton.

Al*bough the ebeerce of Mr. Vandenhoff was of gretied, we cannot well see how Mr, Biand’s representation -f young Dornton could have been amproved.

The Haytien Admiral, witb 114 of the prisoners, including thirty four offi- cers, were in custody at the city; the others were at Puerto Plata. One of the cfficers among the pri. soners is brother-in law of President Pierrot. Capt, Valon, also among them, beinga deserter from the Dominicans, had been tried by court martial, and condemned to death. He appealed to the President tor mercy, who had referred the matter to Congress, | which was to have been convened on the 2i of Feb- Tuary. According t :the El Dominicano, of the 18h of January, some of the officers declare that their | instructionsfrom President Pierrot were to theeffect that once getting possession of Samana and Puerto Plata, all males, without exception of person or age, ‘ and all females under five, were to be massacred, (“pasar a cuchillo.””) Women over forty yearsto be | tied back to back, and conveyed to the Cape; the | I younger women to be left to the discretion of the | captors. The Dominican sloop.of-war Cibao, (for+ merly the Alert) arrived from St. Thomas on the 15th ult., and would soon proceed to Puerta Plata. The American schooner J. W. Failer, and Danish | brig Carlota, both lately purchased by the Domini- | Can government, were being equipped as men-of- | war. The Dominicans appeared to be settled in | their policy, and quite anxious for peace, that they | might enter on theirnew career, founded on the en- { couragement of foreigners and a liberal system of | } government generally. | Twe New American Tarirr Birt.—The new | tariff act sent to the Committee of Ways and | Means by the Secretary of the Treasury, has not | | yetbeen presented to the House, from which we | | would infer that it was undergoing come material al- | terations. Jt is possible that it may be kept back un- | til the Oregon question 1s disposed of in the Senate, | | as much depends upon the determination of that bo- | dy. Should the Senate pass the notice resolutions, as they came from the House, we have no doubt a | bill making appropriations for fortifications, and an | inerease in our navy, will be immediately intro- duced into the Lower House, which will arrest all further efforts to modify and reduce the tariff. The necessity for a larger revenue than we now | receive from imports, in ihe event of extensive pre- | parations being made for defence, will require a ta- | riff full as high as the one we now have; aud it might be considered premature to reduce the ave- rage rate of duty, when the expenditures of the go- vernment were likely to be so much increased. | The Oregon question will, without doubt, be | | brought to a focu: very soon, when the way will be | | clear for any action on the part of the Lower House | upon the tariff.

Mr. Can you explain by what code certain journala learn it is t in the Union to take the revenue, ships, and all other public property of Texas, but wrong to take with them the half dozen naval offi- cers, to whom that republic had d her sove- reign faith when they entered service? Did Texas merge her national independence by act of reciprocal obligation in the Unipn, or was she sub- Jugated vs Bee and, as a conquered vassal, reduced to accept whatever terms may suit the victor’s plea- sure? Opdjection is made by some to the admission of the Texan officers to our service, on the ground that it would be uojust to those already there. To this it may well be answered, that the increased ter- ritory, seaboard, reveaue, and political importance which Texas brings, without care or cost, to the Union, justifies her in claiming, the sligit addition which she brings to the «t the common navy. The Convention tor prepa> ring the Constitution of Texag, inumated an expec- tation that Commodore Moore would hold the rank | of Post Captain under the combined governments, | re A a not to be believed this expectation will be | talsified. For thirty years our navy has rusted in the idle- | ness of a continual peace. “ Not so with the infant fl-et of the Lone Star. Hardly had the energy of President Lamar given it existence aud form, pb it entered on one of tae most perilous and unequal cruises recorded 1n naval history. In the very har- bors of Mexico—under the guns of the fortified towns—the gallant Moore triumphantly maintained nimselt fur fitty seven days, against ten times his furee. Tne enemy’s)force included three armed steam | these odds ag sinst him, Commodore Moore beat off the enemy, and held the command of Campeachy, which he reheved trom a seven months’ blockade. On another occasion he penetrated a Mexican river, aud levied such 4 contribuuon trom the suthorit 18 enabl d him to supply and tranquillize his se | mea, to whom the government was in arrears ©! | wages. f The charge ot inefficiency, therefore, can- | not be laid against those officers ; neither can it be | said they have been dismissed the Texin service, tor the contrary is expressly the case. Least of all can it be truly said, that Lexas has no part or inter- eetim tne c mmoo navy, or that her own faithtal servants have not the first and only right to repre- sent that interest Montcomery.
