If the soil did not originally belong to the said King it cannot now belong to Col. Kinney, though he has bought it. What next? Col. Walker complains that Marcy is seconding the designs of the British on the Pacific side against the interests of American colonization; and if it be true that Col. Wheeler is authorized to discountenance the purchase and gubernatorial authority of Col. Kinney, our Premier is as decidedly against American iaterests on the Atlantic side of the isthmus. We apprehend that the Accessory ‘Transit Company have a great deal to do with this imbroglio, and that they are considerably suspicious of the growing influence and ulti- mate designs of the three Colonels—Kinney, Walker and Fabens, But what next? According to the drift of the late news we should advise Marcy, Marcoleta and Mr. J. L. White to compromise their difficulties with Kinney, Walker and Fabens as soon as possi- ble, for there is no telling what may happen from the start-which these three Colonels have taken for a new republic. They only want a few hundred men to make a clean job at once of the whole of Central America. n Santa Anna’s FinaNcteRInc—ScavyLer No- ‘wHERE—Bap‘News TO THE Movey Lexpers.— Our last advices from Washington inform us that the Secretary of State has decided (and he could decide no other way,) that those per- sons who have been foolish enough to lend money to Santa Anna upon the security of the three millions still owing to Mexico under the ‘Gadsden treaty, need not look to Washington for relief, but must depend upon the Mexican government. Secretary Guthrie is required to pay over the money, when due, to the existing government in Mexico, and Mexico is the place, therefore; for these confidence men of HSH. . We are further informed that there have been quite a number of lawyérs (including Prince John Van Buren, as chairman,) occu- pied with Marcy of late upon this unfortunate business, in behalf of the anxious capitalist who ventured to lend Santa Anna a few thou- sands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thou- sands, upon the basis of those three millions aforesaid. It may be that Santa Anna has thus secured one, two, three, four or five mil- lions, and made off with it, and we very much fear that these discoveries will raise a breeze in Wall street. The Bible says, “Put not your trust in princes.” Oh! that our Mexican financiers would read the Bible. Tur Cuevauier Wess Caves In.—Our vene- rable cotemporary of the Courier and Enquirer, the Chevalier James Watson Webb, informs us that it was not himself, but his associate, that proposed “to think over” the question of joia- ing the Syracuse negro-worshipping fusionists upon their platform of the Wilmot proviso. Without needing much time “to think over” the subject, our flexitte Chevalier, in his own right, says that— In this state of the case, there cap, we think, be no doubt among hoxest and right-minded inen as to their duty.

Newsparer Nomivers.—A Sunday paper enumerates the individuals connected with the press who have obtained office of late years, includizg among the number “ Baker, police reporter forthe Herap.” It adds that “ the Heratp is doing its best to force upon the peo- ple the nomization of Dr. Connery, the’ fore- man of its jeb office, as one of the Coroners.” It is hardly worth while to contradict a state- ment in such a journal as the one from which the above extract ia made. But it may be ob- served that it is not fair to class “ Baker, po- lice reporter for the Heratp,” with Noah, Webb, Herrick, O'Sullivan, the Brookses, Ray- mond, Briggs, and others, who have obtained political offices through their position on the press. Mr. Baker created his office, which is not political, nor in the gift of the people: he obtained it without aid from this journal, and ought not to be displaced from it by any politi- cal intrigue. It is admitted on allhands that he has rendered signal service to the public. As to Mr. Connery, it is true, we believe, that he has obtained a nomination for Coroner; but this journal has never said a word to recom- mend him. If he was nominated, it was because the parties who had the matter in hand thought him fit for the office; and if he is elected, it will be because the people concur in that view. If parties will elect good practical men for office we shall certainly interpose no objection.

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE FINANCIERS—SECRETARY GUTHRIE AND THE $3,000,000 MEXICAN INSTAL- MENT—MARCY AND THE ALBANY ATLAS, ETC. Wasmxatoy, Oct. 2, 1855. ‘There has been of late quite a number of distinguished individuals here to ascertain what disposition is to be made of the three million dollars to be paid by our gov- ernment to Mexican and American capitalists, on ratifica- tion of the Gadsden treaty, which has beem negotiated by Santa Anna. The Secretary of State, it is understood, has decided that the assignments of Santa Anna cannot be recognized, and that the three million must be paid to the existing government of Mexico. This decision has caused great excitement and fluttering in certain quarters. Mr, Marcy, through the columns of to-day’s Star, at- tempts to explain the recent abolition article which ap- red in the Albany Atlas. He intimates that Van Pyke has taken advantage of the absence of editor Cas- widy and inserted the aboliiion article—therefore, it is not of the slightest. political importance—which, when translated, means that the Union must not reply to it. Massachusetts Whig State Convention. Worcusrer, Oct. 2, 1855. The Whig State Convention assembled here to-day. About 750 delegates were present, principally from the eastern part of the State. Hon. J. T.. Stevenson presided, and made.a speech against fusion. Letters were read from Hon, R. C. Winthrop, Hon. Rufus Choate, and others, in opposition to fuon. Hon. 3. H. Walley, of Roxbury, was nominated for Governor. ‘The resolutions declare that the whig party should now more {ban ever keep iteelfaloof from entangling alliances; that they are now, as ever, the party of the constitution; that the pending election is a State matter; repudiate the Personal Liberty bill, andedvocate its erasure before a collision ensues; that the present Liquor law is a failure, |. and that we go for a law which is constitutional and will promote the cause of temperance; that the organization ofa Northern national party on the single issue of oppo- sition to slavery, would endanger the existence of the Union, and the defeat of it would paralyze the Northern sentiment; that ifa unton of parties should ever become necessary, it must be a union of national patriots of all parties of the Union to resist the aggression of fanati- cism. Hon. Samuel H. Walley, of Roxbury, late whig member of Congress; was nominated for Governor unanimously, and being present accepted the nomination for Governor in a briet speech, Moses, Davenport, of Newburyport, who declined the liveral party nomination, was nominated for Lieutenant Governdr., W.-T. Davis,’ of Greenfield, was nominated for ecretary of State; Rouben A. Chapman, of Spring- field, for Attorney General; John Sargent, of Cambridge, for Sinte Treasurer; and Joseph Mitchell, of New Bedford, for Auditor. Mr. Choate, in his letter, said that the paxty of fusion is, in the worst sense, a geographical party, and that the whigs will not join any party that does not carry the flag and keep step to the music of the Union. Hon, Gxo. 8. HittaRp, of Boston, made a lengthy speech in which he styled the “fusion” the rag baby party. He also alluded to the speech of Senator Wade, Of Ohio, during tho late Maine canvass, and said that its disuniom sentiments were calculated to wake Washington in bia grave. As to the Personal Liberty bill, others might call it nullification, but he called it treason. Alter speeches from Professor Fowler, of Amherst, and others the convention, with loud cheers for the candi- dates nowinated, dissolved. Anmiversary of the Jerry Rescue. Syracuse, Oct. 1, 185.

The Prohibitory Liquor Law Again Pro: nel Unconstitutional. Burro, Oct. 1, 1855.

Mveic aNpD THB Drawa.—There never was a period within our recollection when our theatres presented such a variety of attraction in the character of their enter- tainments, or such really first rate talent in their casts generally, as at the present moment. We have now here some of the finest vocalists and actora of which the world can boast. Where, for instance, can be found a more inspired exponent of high tragic art than Rachel— a more correct and graceful defineator of the modern as well as of the Shaksperean drama than Davenport—a more charming interpreter of the merits of our newly fledged school of American music than Louisa Pyne—a droller or more irresistible low comedian than Burton ? If we seck for a perfect ensemble, such as we are accus- tomed to behold on the #rench stage, and of which har- mony of talent is, of course, the basis, it is only to be found at Wallack’s, where the star system is frowned upon. In tragedy, in the serious drama, in high and low comedy, and opera, we have therefore a choice of Those love classical forms and severe and power- Metro- their blocd chilled by her fearful energy of passion, but she will fail to enslave their sympathies by softer in- Those who love tragedy in a less intensifed form, or who delight in the sentimental melo-dramatic abstractions of the French school, will go to see Daven- port at the Broadway Those whose ears are tuned to melody, and who love to patronize exquisite vocal gifts, although unallied with an Italian patronymic, will as- suredly help to swell the throng which nightly pays the tribute of its admiration to Louisa Pyne at Niblo’s. Here they will find, besides the attraction of the little divinity herself, a new piece, local both in its subject and in its origin—the first American opera, in fact, which the critical juégment of our music loving public has ever re- cognised. Those whose tastes do, not incline them to- wards the asthetic in art, and who are given to laugh at the broad side of things, will, of course, all rush to Bur- ‘There they will find sufficient to drive away dull A hearty laugh isthe best physic that a bypocondriacal subject or amusements to suit all tastes and capacities. who ful declamation will visit politan, Their souls will be Rachel at the shaken and fluences. ton’s, thoughts and dispel all their morbid humors. a dyspeptic can resort to, rassed in their choice. give them:all turn, thanked the audience for their patronage:— Mr. George Christy. ever looked favorably upon our hum! liberal «bare of your | heh de!
