Some of the ablest statesmen and hommes des lettres of the Mexicans were natives of Campeachy.

Travel and freight are | compelled to take an expensive and circuitous route, and nearly all the evils of non-intercourse with the interior during the winter months are ex- perienced. All this we realize year after year, because there has not been sufficient publie spirit exhibited to construct a railroad direct from this city to Albany.

Men of all parties have for a long time seen the evil, but those who have never made politics their trade, dislike to meddle with the dirty work, even though it be to bring about a needed reform. Never so patiently have our citizens borne other abuses; but they have at length moved, and it is to be huped that the car of reform will be steadily butsurely moved forward, The speakers who addressed the meeting at National Hall, complained of no one party, but Whigs denounced the party wor- ship of the officers who had administered the go- vernment under favor of whig majorities, as wel! as like administrations of other parties, under like favor of their political friends ; the expression ‘was unanimous against National or State politics being introduced into our municipal affairs at all. It will require nerve, perseverance, talent and energy to get this good movement started ; but in the view of all the evils resulting from the malad- ministration of our government success must re- sult from action. Every man who pays taxes— every person who pays rent—every one who pays board, or a grocer’s butcher’s or baker’s bills, in short, every man above a pauper, has a direct in- terest in this matter, and it only requires that a respectable number of voters should throw off, so far as the city is concerned, the shackles of party, and, in simple justice to themselves, muster courage enough to defend their own rights against the trickery of political usurpation and cliquish chicanery. Our beautiful island, which ought te be built up with double the rapidity which does really mark the growth of the city, is lending to neighboring cities and villages, out of as well asin our State, the strength which ought to increase its own bulk, and add toits beauty.
