General Sania Anna’s proninciamiento to his countrymen, which we publish to-day, brings among the leading actors in the Mexican drama, His objects are to define his position, what it has been and what it is; to vindicate his public course in and out of Mexico as that of a faith- ful Moxican; to make it known that he has emerged from his place of exile in order to serve the cause of the republic, which he first proclaimed over forty years ogo, and to do what he can to heal all dissensions and anite all pwties among the Mexican people in the expul- sion of Maximilian and his whole foreign es- tablishment from Mexican soil and in the re- establishment of the republic “in the halls of the Montezumas.”’ The vindication advanced by General Santa Anna of his conduct in reference to the tripar- tite intervention of England, France and Spain ought to be satisfactory even to his Mexican enemies. In the matter of the French inter- vention he has, in the simple fxct of his expul- sion from Mexico by Marshal Bazaine, a good answer against all who accuse him of infidelity to the republic. What other ambition than the good of his country could have influenced him in coming at this time out of 5t. Thomas, when all the political and military honors and dis- tinetions which a generous country could give have over and over again been conferred upon him? But there is a little Mexican clique at Washington (the Romoro-Juarea) clique) and 2 Mexican clique in this city that have been raising a considerable outcry against General Santa Anna as a tyrant, usurper and most treacherous Mexican. These men have a good deal of presumption; for as the founder of the Mexican republic General Santa Anna holds, if not to the same extent still, the relation to Mexico of Washington to the United States or of Bolivar to Colombia. As soldier and states- man, and even as politician, if you please, Santa Anna by all odds has been the ablest man that Mexico has ever produced of whom we know anything. Nor do we know of an- other living Mexican whose name and presence now would be half so powerful as his in uniting the Mexican. people and in giving system and efiviency to their war agaiust the “Austrian adventurer” and his French supporters. We have no doubt that in his presont under- taking in behalf of the Mexican republie Gen- eral Santa Anna hae had and retains the good wishes of the adminis'rat‘on at Washington ; and we believe thet, as (ov os is compatible with our international gations, President Johnson and the So State are ine clined to aid n rather than to throw any obet the mon the Mexican om at this evisis:: the m : the lost forty 1 ty OW back ofier the other man and © ars the alwove he trying this all thetr jlo and reforms to nop ne t iy other Mexican I Ju sensible man his fi rep resent him to be he will lose no time in avatl- ing himeel! of tie profered services of General Santa Anna, and in puting him ot the head of the armed forces of the Mexiean repodlie, He can bring experience, generalship, concentras tion and financial and material aid to the re- publican cause which no other man can bring.

The New York Yacht Club—Annaal Re- gutta and Review. The annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club will take place to-day. The annual re- view of the Yacht Squadron will be held at the Horseshoe next Tuesday. By this arrange- ment, which was unanimonsly approved last year, the yachtsmen will enjoy an ocean race around the lightship to-day, instead of skim- ming over the smooth water from Hoboken to the Southwest spit, and next Tuesday the ladies and other friends of the Club will be conveyed to the Horseshoe in a chartered steamer, and will there witness the manceuvres of the squadron, sail about for awhile in the yachts and partake of a collation. Of the two gala days, therefore, next Tuesday will be the most generally enjoyable, although to-day will be the most interesting to yachtsmen. We hope that there will be a good breeze, a lively sea and a spirited contest at the regatia and that crowds of ladies, who need no longer have any fear of sea sickness, will be present next week at the review, It will be noticed in the list which we pub- lish elsewhere, that the number of entries for the regatta is unusually small, Year by year the yachtsmen seem less and less inclined to participate in this contest, and now it seems almost entirely confined to the smaller yachts, In view of the fact that the Club is now com- posed of very active, enthusiastic members, and that several new yachts have been added to the squadron during the year, this decrease is all the more remarkable. We look in vain for the names of such fast and splendid vessels a3 the Palmer, the Flectwing, the Widgeon, the Alarm, and many others that might be men- tioned, among the entries for to-day. Why do the owners of these large and sw'ft yach’s de- cline to participate in the regatta? Is it be- cause the allowance for size tells so severely against these vi s in the short race of forty ' miles that they do not have a tair opportunily to display their sailing qualities? We are in- clined to believe that this is the correct expla- nation; for certainly there is no lack of enter- prise upon the part of the owners, and they are always ready to contribute in any way to the prosperity of the Club. Let us suggest, then, that, in the sam? spirit which separated the regatia from the review, the Club should institute an annual ocean sweepstakes for the large yachts, the course to be around Block Island and return, That the yachtsmen are ready for such an addition to the Club programme is evident from the hearti- ness with which they engage in matches to be sailed upon the open sea and in which the sea- manship of the captains and tho discipline of the er¢ws can be tested, as well as the excel- lence of the yacht models. Only the other day two small yaclits, the Whitewing and the Bonita, sailed an ocean race to Cape May. In a short race like that of the regatta to-day the first ten minutes decides who is to be the win. ner, and good seamanship, tact, knowledge of the coast, the winds and every expedient for fast sailing goes almost for nothing. Such races may give us, and have given us, good yachts; but the long ocean races alone can give us first class yachtsmen like those with whom we shall have to contend when the English muster up courage enough to come over to redeem the America challenge cup. For these reasons we urge the New York Yacht Club to provide officially for an ocean sweepstakes next year and thus to operations of the Club, improve its practical efficiency, and revive the popular excitemont upon all classes of people in regard to its por- formances. The Present Political Situation. No period in our history has been s9 re- markable for sudden changes in the phase of political affairs a3 the present. One qnes- tion after another has acisen until we now have a combination of issues bearing upon the poli- tical silmation to such an extent that the one idea politicians will be curiously puzzled to know how to shape their course. The quis. fion of reconstruction which absorved so mach attention during the past winter has been so compromised by the action of Congress that the subject no kc tieacia the attention that it did « few months since, Watle the excilomen in regarlito our interaal aifiies is thus sub- siding our foveign relations are tesmulag an importande whic eannot be overlooked by any of the ficitous secking forthe coutrel of the prineipls o. 1 t wv as Mexico is con 1 ta 1 poll+y fa ret 1 the Fenians, have o wv tons of the day and form erence to England a become the grea’ an essential fev in the arsangemeat of the party platforms for the feluce emmpalgns. The pndlic ave watching the movements on the political chess board at the national capital with annsual interest, to see w nb side takes hold of these questions with the greatest energy. But while it is trae that these qrestion destined (o become the great make weights ia our political situation there is still another fea, tare which has thus far been overlooked by the politictans on all sides in preparing their plans for the future, That f+ the power that will be wielded by the original anti-slavery faction in the coming elee commence] to loom up a® soon clusion of the Reconstruction Congress was made known to the poblic. It fs a Well kuown that Wendell Phillips, Garrison and the leaders of the old party bnve time and time again proclaimed to the world that they were deterwined to plan themselves upon the plaiform negro seffeage, and upon thai continue their are fact libeviy of universal ‘ things, and among them that | | tions, This is 9 feature that { «the eon- | Committee of | agitation before the people wih the ramo | trians in Mexico. in this view, ne a champion | earpostnons that they formerte did their an of the Mentee dootviue and of the Mexican re- | alovery erasad The failure of the Rewon public, General Sania Anna, we tity enti- | struction Chmmittee in Congress to mike tha led te som a) recognition by the ecili- | qneation the paramount issue in the re ation aeons of Now York who believe in the speedy | of the Southern ee furnishes the 1 mid and permanent removal of Moximitian, crown | and exeute for Phillipe and bie factton to ente and throne, hag and bagynge, French, Aus | the feld in every Northern State.

The such an extent as to entirely absorb those issues, We all know how the old liberty or anti-slavery faction managed to draw a sufficient number of votes from the whigs to defeat them in every closely contested election in which there was no other overshadowing question in the con- test. This negro snffrage party is destined to take the place of the old auti-slavory faction, and will, under like circumstances, bring about the same results. If, then, the democracy have any leaders with sufficient sense to ekilfully manage the affairs of the party, they can regain political supremacy in national polities and hold it for # series of years, There is no question but that the radi- cals will be forced to bring forward General Grant as their candidate for the Presidency, in the hope that his prestige in bringing the war to a close and his positive position on the Mon- roe doctrine will enable them to surmount all the difficulties, The democracy, on the other hand, are preparing to bring forward General McClellan. Thus the direct issue will be made, with neither candidate satisfactory to the negro suffrage party pure and simple. Under this state of affairs, with the uncompromising negro suffrage vote cast for a third candidate, the result will turn upon the skill and tact of the democratic leaders in grappling the great ques- tions of the day. The chances will be in their favor, and their defeat can only be brougit about by mismanagement. Thus it will be seen that the constant changes in the phuse of political affairs is daily complicating the issues and opening the way fora complete revolu- tion in the ruling power of ihe nation. Working of the Freedmen's Burean. The official reporis of Geneials Steedman and Fullerton on the Freedmen’s Bureau and its agents, the last of which we published yester- day, have created no little consternation among the radicats. The high character, impartiality and kind disposition of the commissioners to the negroes make their testimony unimpeach- able, Both these officers stand high in the estimation of men of all parties for their honor and devotion to the Union, and, we may say also, for their regard for the welfare of the frecdmen. No more brave or trucr men in the service could be found. General Stecdman, if we remember right, was among the first to raise negro troops tor the Union army; and he com- manded them during the war. Ai Dalton, it will be remembered, one of the regiments of ne- groes under his command distinguished itself by driving the force of the famous rebel cavalry leader, Wheeler. A man like this conld have no other than the best foeling toward the freed- men, General Fullerion was expressly chosen by General Howard, the chief of the Bureau, as his chief of staff, and, a3 a2 officer of tho Burgou, to superintend freedmen’s affairs in Louisiana when an efficient band was needed to put thom in order. These genile- men, in fact, were considered by the radicals and the Bureau as the very. beat friends of the negroes, and as their most effi- cient agents, until lately. Now all is changed. Generals Steedman and Fullerton, as honorable men, felt bound to tell the truth abont the vil- lanous practices of the agents of the Bureau and the flagrant evils of the system. As a con- sequence they are now bitterly denounced by the vory party that formerly employed and praised thom. Their statements of facis cannot be disproved, General Whittlesey even, who way pnt forward to shake the evidence they gave, wasunable to answer the charges against himself and others in North Carolina, The radical press of this city is savage at the ex- resizes made and attemp-: ' desirey the force of them by impugning the motives and impar- tiality of both the commissioners and the Presi- dent. But the evidence is too clear and the character of the men ioo high to be damaged by such assaults. People will see thai the con- tortions of the radicals arise from the infamous practices of their pet institution being exposed. We need not be surprised that General Saxton had no records or that they could uot he fouad. Thore will be « great many other records of the Bureau missing if ever a thorough iavestiga- tion of i'4 affairs should be ordered. It is unnecessary to recite the details of frand, corruption, cruelty and wickedness gen- erally revealed by the commission: These have been laid betore onr readers very fully both in the official reports and through our cor- respondents. We may add, however, that formation we posesss from other and the most in- reliable a fully corroborates the statemenis published.

Shall we ever be reliered of such disgusting cant and hypocrisy? May we ever hope to see the day when the manly conmon sense of our people will no longer tolerate such hypocr ay? We heve at least the satisfaction to know that it does not escape exposure. of slev Ocr Froxtizn Derexces.—We perceive that Congress bas just appropriated over @ milion and a balf for the improvement of rivers and harbors the different This large amonn’ is probably set with a render our frontier defences mo case of any diflentty with foreign Tre civil war bas tangbt us in States, down view to Powers, a good many we were almost wholly defencclese against foreign aggression.

This state of things indicates that there isa good deal of insecurity felt in Eng- land, probably in consequence of the large quantities of gold which are going to the Conti- nent to meet the coming contingencies of war. It is evident that the financial storm is not over yet, despite the reports to the contrary, The first blast only has passed over. There are difficulties yet to be contended with in England, and people might as well be prepared. for them. The withdrawal of so much specie from the country may be but a premonitory symptom.
