Taz Prince or Wares is to visit Ireland immediately. The Princess of Wales will accompany him.

Tag Largest News FROM Mexico announces a victory of the national troops, under General Escobedo, over the rebels in the State of San Luis Potosi. Tue Press News Associations in some parts of England think that the telegraph, service is ‘‘mismanaged” by the government. Premier Gladstone and the people of England differ with them in opinion, and they ought to know something abont it. A Pruss News CaBLz Tevecram, which bears the date Paris, March 7, says “M. Renan has been restored to his professorship in the College of France.” This despatch reached us last night. We had the same item already in type, having received it by mail from Europe yesterday evening. Which is ahead, steam or the electricity of the news agency? Tas Bermsn ParuaMent debated the grievances of two of the peoples subject to Queen Victoria yesterday, the Maoris of New Zealand and the Irishin Ireland. It ia the old story—discontent, land tenure and poverty on fertile soils. Mr. Gladstone moved the second reading of the Irish Land Tenure Reform bill. The Irish members monopolized the greater portion of the time of the debate, which was very proper in this case, and the discussion was adjourned at ‘an early hour this morning. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. Demeralized Democracy and the Pree- pect ef Parties. Only the other days future full of power find promige seemed possible for the demo- oratic party. Its success had spread from the city over the whole State; and as it was advised with no emall sagacity, and hed a general harmony of purpose, it appeared pot rash to forecast its possible triumph in the next contest for the Presidency. But what a bubble all that promise was! What hag become of the hope that the democracy might once more act on the nation as a great, united, harmonious, honest, liberal party? As the hope was built on the appearance the party presented in this State, what is left of it even here? Only four or five snarling factions. We have “‘the ring,” or recognized Tammany leaders; the silk stocking would-be leaders, under the general direction of Mr. Sammy Tilden; ‘the boys’—that is, the Jimmy O'Brien and Mike Norton party; the union democratic organization and the country democracy. The countrymen know and care all about the jobs in tle rural and frontier dia- tricts. Canal jobs, for instance, are their specialty, Only leave them the manipulation of all the little bits of profit and plunder .to be made on the canals, and there will be harmony so far as relates to them, for they relinquish even opinion with regard to the city. But with the city factions it is quite another story. They all want everything, and the simple reason of this is because not one of them sees anything nobler or better in success than that it will give the spoils to the winner. There isno pure motive, no exalted purpose, no national spirit, and, therefore, no great mind; no organizing, conquering brain, for great intellect is not produced in a party whose struggles are always the same mean, mercenary scramble, Mr. Sammy Tilden, itis true, in declaring to the contrary, calls our attention to his own elegance; but, alas! for Sammy’s argument, it has been known that men have worn silk stockings who yet had very empty heads. It is the same with his reference to the ‘“‘libe- rality” of the august Belmont. Something else is necessary to consolidate a great people around a party platform beside the habit of tossing cash to the groundlings, though one can hardly expect men of Sammy's calibre to understand this. We even think that Sammy ought not to drag his ‘‘liberal” democrat of the past into the arena again; for we do not doubt that our former Minister to the Hague would now distinctly concede that ‘‘shent per shent” has fairly failed in American politics. Ata time when « country is standing in the very atmosphere of heroic achievements; when the women still wear crape for the hun- dreds of thousands of gallant fellows who died for the flag; when the people have freely made illimitable sacrifices in their persons, in their comforts, in their very liberties—all to secure the supremacy of an idea—at such a time It seems to us a little less than decent for a party to come forward with a financier as its head man and to announce that this gen- tleman is ready to make the most liberal terms. Cannot they refer us to anybody but their banker? Before a people pulsating with areinvigorating sentiment of nationality it is scarcely handsome to present even the silk stockings of Sammy Tilden as the finest things extant, Yet what else does the democracy proffer? Is it the noble disdain of law, order and honesty that characterizes ‘‘the boys”— that young peers which is sowing its political wild oats in the city by breaking the windows of the temple of Justice, and present- ing the.statue of the poor old goddess standing on her head. Alas for the democracy! Is this really all there is of it in the country? There were weak points in the republican party. It presented some signs of decay. It was the instrument through which the nation asserted its purposes ia the recent great con- test; but its vitality seemed eaten out by the corrupt traders who had abused it to their selfish designs. It is still, however, most in sympathy with the popular heart. It has the advantage of appearing to the country in the person of a man nobly identified with the greatest phase of the nation’s existence—a soldier, ahero, apatriot; simple-minded, pure, without other ambition than to serve the coun- try well. This is better than for a party to appear only in the person of its financial man. Grant does not dazzle the admiring eye with the brilliancy of his statecraft; but that is not what the American people want. Who is ft that.is carrying the nation onward in its straight course of peace and prosperity? Who directs the policy that puts money in the peo- ple’s pockets? Under whose government is gold coming to par, and the debt growing perceptibly smaller month by month? Such points as these are the ones that are vital to this nation, and they indicate that the truest glory and best safety of the republic are in the continued supremacy of the party that governs with men like Grant, ets Franco and the Holy See, Our letters and our cable news are full of trouble so far as France versus the Council and the Holy See are concerned. The Sylla- bus and the dogma of infallibility have aroused France from one end to the other. A gable despatch assures us, as our letters from Rome had warned us, that France will not have the Syllabus confirmed or infallibility declared. The one and the other will compel France to reconsider her position and in all likelihood to modify her concordat with Rome. Count Daru, who, though a good Catholic, is aman of sense and imbued somewhat with modern ideas, plainly speaks out and warns Rome that if the Jesuits who now surround and govern the Holy Father carry the day France will have no choice but break off from all her ebliga- tions Romeward, and that it may be necessary to withdraw her troops from the Holy City and, indeed, from the entire Papal territory. For some such result we have long looked, and, although it is not yet absolutely certain that France is committed to this policy, we have every reason to believe that under their new conditions the French people will not submit to any Roman tyranay. France is not unwilling to protect Rome; but the day has gone by when the French people will sub- mit to be governed by Rome. Another cable despatch is thus made intelligible. The Coun- cil, we are told, is to be suspended during the months of May, June and July, The suspen- sion is no doubt justified by the weather; but it is unquestionably convenient. After the suspension will the Council resume its sittings ? If it does, who will be present? All the Italians and all the Jesuits, of course. If the “rump” of the Council endorses the Syllabus and sanctions infallibility will the world sub- mit? This last question covers while It pre- sents the real difficulty of the situation. We again sound e note of warning. We await the issue, but itis for the Catholic world to be on ite guard. A Striking Movement ta. Congrese~The Coal and Iron Intereste ef Ponnsylvania in Array. Simultaneously with accounts of striking among the miners in the Pennsylvania coal regions comes an elaborate speech delivered in the Senate of the United States yesterday by Senator Cameron in favor of the largest protection to not only the coal, but to the iron, railroad and manufacturing interests of the Keystone State. It is not a little singular that the movements of these Pennsylvania coal and iron monarchs appear conjointly, like spectres of the past, to warn consumers that the vanguard of the power that will abolish reasonable prices for fuel and annihilate all light local manu- facturing business in which iron forms & part, is approaching. That power comes by stealthy pathways to concentric pointe. At one time it appears in the shape of tumults in the coal regions caused by the suspension of business. Such suspension, based upon frivolous or groundless pretexts, causes great suffering among the miners, and the country, naturally sympathetic, hopes that something will be done for the relief of the destitute and suffer- ing. Then the tireless coal and irom monopo- lists collect their forces, raise money by the hundreds of thousands, and, appealing to Con- gress for protection for their interests, point to the deplorable condition of the workmen that such protection is absolutely required. It is needless to say into whose pockets the money thus raised finally goes. And by a “new reading of an old line members of Con- gress generally become Meddling with the duties on coal and tron. Senator Cameron in Congress and the organ of the Schuylkill monopolists in Philadelphia centring upon a similar issue the same day— the one in favor of high protective duties on coal and fron, and the other portraying the strikes and distress among the miners in the anthracite region—foreshadows very interesting action in Congress in regard to the tariff, and members and the people should be on their guard. ‘The Lenten Season Among the Theatres. The depravity and wickedness of New York is fertile theme with our country cousins, and a sort of prize essay subject for juvenile aspirants to editorial honors in the moral vil- lages of Chicago, Boston and elsewhere. Jemima warns her beau before he comes to town against the numerous sharpers who go about the streets, seeking what pocketbooks they may devour, and speaks with dread of the many unknown horrors which her village journal assures her beset the path of the visitor in our highways and byways. Yet, notwithstanding all this, we are happy to record « fact which shows that religion flourishes in the metropolis, and that we are not quite so bad as we are represented. All the theatrical managers complain that the season of Lent has withdrawn from them a large proportion of their patrons, while clergy- ™men equally rejoice at a marked increase in their congregations. Many of the pieces now running at the principal theatres, which a month ago promised to have a long run, will ‘be withdrawn on account of a seri- ous falling off in the attendance. Before Lent set in ‘‘standing room only” was the nightly announcement at these theatres, but since the penitential season commenced an ominous array of empty benches greets the manager's eye each evening. We trust that our country friends who delight so much in expatiating on the ‘‘wickedness of the modern Babylon,” and in drawing comparisons between New York and the “Cities of the Plain” will credit us duly with this proof of religious sentiment. In @ cosmopolitan city like this such an exhibit speaks well for the deep-seated respect for religion which per- vades the community, all denunciations of rural editors to the contrary notwithstanding. The managers look forward to the approach of Easter with as much eagerness and anxiety as ever did Wellington for Blucher at Waterloo, or the federal army for Phil Sheridan after the firat day of Cedar Creek. Easter to them will be indeed @ season of joy and festivity. Mr. Sgwarp’s RgOEPTION—ALDERMANIO RerTRENcHMENT.—The reception of Mr. Seward yesterday by the City Councils in the Gov- ernor’s Room of the City Hall was a very neat affair, and in the matter of expense a great improvement on the Aldermanic festival to the Japanese ‘‘No-Kamis” and “Little Tommy,” @ retrenchment for which the thanks of our tax levy paying fellow citizens are par- ticularly due to Mr. Seward himself, who would not consent to be made the excuse for a costly corporation feed. The day was fear- fully inclement, with its storm of snow and rain, but singularly appropriate for the occa- sion, as representing the prevailing weather of Alaska, Mr. Seward’s crowning purchase, where, when the sun does shine, “the eagle delights to soar and the humming bird does not disdain to flutter.” Gotp 112}.—Yesterday gold again went off and at its lowest price freely sold at 112}, to the great pecuniary loss of the “bull” party, who formed a combination last week to ad- vance the premium in spite of the great popular movement to specie payments, It is a pity if we cannot reach resumption now that we are so near it. The premium, being only about a ‘York shilling,” seems so trifling that Congress ought to assist the operation by passing a law requiring the constant sale from week to week of the surplus gold of the government. Noraine sur Capets.—Congress is giving full attention to the subject of the corrupt practices of its members in the sale of cadet- ships, and its indignation at the low price for which members have soid themselves is splendid to see. Will bribery lose half its evil by losing all its cheapness? Doubtful, Spain—A Ministerial Crisis, The real intentions of Prim are becoming more and more mysterious. For some time past he has been hob-nobbing with Mont- pensier—at least so has said thecable. Some- times we have to correct the cable, but some- times, too, we have to bow to it, We have already commented upon the Spanish situa- tion from a Montpeusier standpoint. It now appears, from a cable despatch, that Montpensier, so far from coming to Madrid as & messenger of peace, has come as an emblem of sorrow, or rather a¢ a brand of fire. Prim, who has been toying with Montpenster and toying also with Spain for his own selfish purposes, has been compelled by the Cortes to declare himself. Spain now knows that Prim is not for Montpensier, nor is any member of the Ministry bnt one, and that one the only honest man among them—Admiral Topete. We are not surprised that Topete has waxed wrathful and resigned his portfolio; for but for Topete there could have been no revolution to begin with, and but for Topete once again the reign of Prim would long since have been ended. Weare glad to know that Topete has ceased to form part of the Ministry, and that a ministerial crisis has arrived in Spain. Prim’s ambition is now no longer doubted; his cunning has become apparent to the world; Serrano, a no- torious unionist, so longas he remains Regent, is a nobody. In such circumstances it is agreeable to find one honest.man at the head of a national movement, If Topete defini- tively retires from the Cabinet we shall regard the Regency as at an end, and we shall look for a fresh movement, which must result in one of three things—Montpensier’s triumph, Prim’s success or general anarchy. Without Topete, Serrano, the sworn friend of Montpensier, cannot much longer remain @ mere figure- head. A crisis bas now come in Spain. The only question is, what is to be its character? { “sntehieeashaniantcnertev Tass The Woes of the Women of Wyoming. The question of female suffrage in Wyoming is likely to result in an amount of female euf- fering that is woful to contemplate, especially as the women of that Territory have not made any demand for suffrage, and probably did not want it. There are not enough of them to carry any vital female point in politics, and the suffrage is merely a costly bauble. As soon as they have got it they find them- selves liable to all the onerous duties of suffragans. The judicial authorities of the Territory, and even Congress, * ap- pear to be aiming their hardest blows at them. They are already serving in the jury box, and probably will be compelled to shoulder their domestic broomsticks as militia, facing right and left, charging, retreating, sup- porting and presenting arms and being drilled in the school of the soldier by some infamous militia captain in the guise of aman. The discipline of the militia is strict and severe, and they will probably have their spirits so ground out of them by some martinet in office that they will come in time to obey all his commands demurely, even with their natural weapon of offence and defence—the broomstick—in their hands. They have already gone to the jury box like lambs to the slaughter, not one of the panel drawn yesterday asking to be ex- cused. As the times progress they will also be added to the volunteer fire departments in the promising towns of Wyoming, and be compelled, under the penalty of a fine, which some hard-hearted husbands won't pay, to run with the machine, carrying big leather fire hats on their heads, which will make them prematurely bald, and yelling themselves hoarse through long trumpets, and getting wet and consumptive from bursting hose or misdirected hose pipes, and becoming utterly wretched altogether. What harder fate can be reserved for them if they have mot the suffrage ? Now, we hold that the women of Wyoming are being badly treated in this matter. They certainly ought to have the right of declining the suffrage ifthey wish. Itis nota thing of their own making. They have'not voted upon it. Ithas been brought about by the hard- hearted men of the Legislature and by the agi- tation of other women of the country, who would have some show of legislating in their own interests if they were granted the privi- lege. But the privilege, with all its incon- veniences, has fallen upon the women who did not agitate for it, and apparently for no other reason than to deter other women from wishing for it, the hard-hearted legislators of the country seem bent on piling on the incon- veniences, while the privileges are showered down very scantily, We insist upon it that the women of Wyoming shall have a chance to refuse the suffrage before they are all drilled into mere militia machines or have gone into a hopeless decline through their exertions on some Territorial ‘Big Six.” Tax New Hampsnire Erzotion To-Day.— The first State election for the present year takes place in New Hampshire to-day. There are three or four candidates for Governor in the field, and it would not be surprising if, in the muddle among all the political elements, the old democratic party should be thrown into power for the first time, we believe, since the days of President Pierce. The chief struggle between the two principal partles—the repub- lican and democratic—is to gather in the vote of the labor reformers and the temperance men. As these factions go so will the State. Being the first to lead off the political ball, it will be interesting to see how the administra- tion of General Grant stands before the people— whether his personal popularity still exists, and whether, relying upon the strength of his name, the republicans in the State still remain sufficient ly united to carry their banners once more unto victory. A few more hours, how- ever, will decide the question, and in the meantime our readers can patiently wait for its solution. Tre MuRpER STATEMENT, as we may call it, is about as follows:—John Purcell, who was sentenced to be hanged with Reynolds on the 8th of April, has been granted a new hearing; Chambers, who murdered Voorhees in Brook- lyn, will be tried to-morrow before Judge Gil- bert; the third trial of Edwin Perry, who killed the watchman Hayes, is set down for April, when he will have his third and probably last chance in the jury lottery; Mcfarland, who killed Albert D. Richardson, Is to be tried in the Court of General Sessions on the first day of the April term, and Reynolds’ case re- mains as last reported. ‘The Fifiy Millions Currency Biti—Coaaross ia a Muddle. The vote of the House of Representatives, by the large majority of 110 to 78, instructing the Committee on Banking and Currency to report a bill for an additional issue of fifty millions of currency, has not only puzzled the committee as to what it should do, but has created some surprise throughout the country. This measure is known to be in opposition to the financial policy of the administration. There is reason to believe, too, the Senate is Opposed to it, The resolution appears to have been rushed through the House without much consideration, for the Committee on Banking and Currency is in doubt whether the House intended an increase of legal tenders or national bank notes, The majority of the committee itself, it seems, do not favor this inflation, though the committee may report a bill in obedience to instructions when it shall have decided what kind of currency is proposed to be issued. But looking at the financial policy of the administration and the probable views of the Senate, this measure is not likely to become law. The movement to increase the currency was made by the Westera and Southern members chiefly, with a view to place their sections of the country on something like an equality with the East and North with regard to the circulating medium, There is no doubt that tho West and South are not equally privileged in this respect with the East and North, and it would be but just to give them more banks and banking facilities and whatever advan- tages they might derive from these in the way of ourrency. But, after all, the cur- rency will flow to the centres of capi- tal and trade, and the distribution of it depends in « great measure upon the course of trade. If banking were made free on the basis of a uniform national cur- rency each section would get as many banks as it needs and as much circulation as it could hold under the natural laws of trade; but the daily and steady approach to a specie basis now may obviate the necessity of any change in the volume of currency. Indeod, the cur- rency would be largely increased by the ad- dition of gold and silver to the circulation, and, asa matter of course, it would become more equally distributed. Although it is evi- dent that the amount of currency in circula- tion has not affected the price of gold—for it is as large now as when gold was thirty per cent higher or more—yet an increase of fifty mil- lions might retard for a time specie payments. Any such disturbance just now should be avoided. Let well alone should be the motto of our legislators at Washington, Let the present movement towards a specie basis have @ fair trial. Let us see where we shall land before any other currency or financial experi- ment be made. England’s March to Democracy—Sceoues in the British Parliament. By a special letter from London we are enabled to note in the Heraxp to-day the first advance step of England—politically enfran- chised—towards the attainment of a complete: citizen democracy. The words of ‘‘Ready— advance!” which were given in 1832, have been followed by the popular com- mand, “Forward!” The British nation obeys and is already in the line of march. The progress is of quite a constitu- tional character, for although the English people really love liberty they dislike even its attainment by means of violence. The Par- liament is still their centre of rally. The opening of the Parliamentary session on the 8th of February was consequently a consti- tutional event of more than usual importance. Queen Victoria was absent on the occasion. All the elements of coming change, all the guarantees of the throne, with all the force of the gradually fading feudal aristocracy were to be seen in either house of the Legislature. The first was strong, buoyant and hopeful under consid- erable discouragement ; the second toning itself down asan intermediary power, and the last named, although forewarned as a class, proud, exclusive and, if it dare, defiant, At the very initial of such a position of public affairs in the British kingdom the communication of the Heratp special writer becomes of very par- ticular and general interest on this side of the Atlantic. The American people dislike political and foreign surprises, Knowing this fact, we have taken pains to ‘‘post” them specially as to the state of affairs which exists on the other side of the Atlantic, so that they may not be astonished if a Heratp special cable telegram from London should speak at some early day of a Watt Tyler No. 2 in the British metropolis, or the advent of Macaulay's New Zealander to the new London bridge. Tae Exgotion Fravps iy Brooxiyn.— District Attorney Morris has a hard work to perform in bringing the parties charged with election frauds in Brooklyn to trial, but he is determined to perform his duty in the matter and is working with a will. His last oppo- nent is Judge Pratt himself, who has rendered a decision requiring him to give a list of the witnesses before the Grand Jury to the counsel for the defence two days before the trial. The motion to proceed with the trial was made yesterday, and this decision seemed intended to delay it for some time. The plucky Dis- trict Attorney refused point blank to furnish the names, but the Court held to the decision, and put off the cases, It remains to be seen if there is not some means of putting a stop to this trifling, and District Attorney Morris will doubtless see to It, Tue Cask or Gottapay.—The House yes- terday decided that the action of Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky, in refusing to accept Mr. Golladay’s resignation as a member of the House was invalid, and they declined to con- sider Mr. Golladay any longer a member, They held that the Governor could not force a member to remain against his wishes, nor could his resignation when once accepted by the House be withdrawn. The question whether a member could resign at his own will to evade his responsibilities was finally referred to the Judiciary Committee, Senator Revers, the colored man from Mississippi, in addition to his other Senatorial duties, now lectures in public. He evidently intends to pattern after Senator Sumner. It would be well for the two to travel together, Sumner to deliver his lecture on ‘‘Caste” and Bovels to officiate as the “‘bright example.” Women Suffrage in Massachusetts. ‘Tho women succeeded in voting in Hyde Park, Mass., yesterday at the town eleetion. They put a separate ticket in the fleld, and about sixty of them voted for It, They came in a body to the polling place, with bouquets and cotton umbrellas in their hands and modest determi- nation in their countenances, some of them old and gray-headed and many of them young and pretty. Their presence, which should have cast a benign influence over the unhal- lowed precincts which heretofore had been accessible only to men and the vile odors of rum and tobacco, was the occasion of hisses on the part of some of the disorderly men ia the crowd. But the women had a stanch defender in Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., who stood up for them with the gallantry and daring of tho old Spanish knights or Muscovian gunmakers that he writes about in the Ledger. He cast upon the disturbers ono look of his eagle eye. “Base rufflans!” he cried, in thunder tones, “think ye to bar the way of these fair dames to yonder ballot box? By my halidom, these women shall vote or perish in the attempt!” These brave words had their effect and tho gallant women voted; and, more than that, although their votes were counted out their ticket was elected. The Enropeau Mails. The French transatlantic mail steamship Pereire arrived at this port yesterday after- noon from Brest. Captain Duchesne, her commander, sailed from the French port on Saturday, the 26th of February, making the run to New York within nine days—a wonder- fully fine performance, particularly when we come to consider the season of the year and the weather reports which have reached us during the past week from other Atlantic voyagers. By this service the Pereire enables us to present to the readers of the Herat to-day 5 very ample and interesting correspondence, embracing mail details of our cable telegrams from Europe of an important and attractive character. We continue the report of the Mordaunt divorce case trial, including the testimony given by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Our readers will not fail to observe the distinct manner in which Lord Penzance conveyed the judicial and legal cau- tion of right to the Prince to the effect that he need not criminate himself. The French Legislature enjoyed a rather serious reference to the memory of the men of '48, Imperial and official balls were still in order, still brilliant, largely attended and bountifully and profusely supplied both ia Paris and Vienna. The representation of American beauty was numerous and main- tained its high standard of refreshing sweet- ness even among the most noble, royal, native elegance. Our European mail budget is again, and as usual, attractive at all points. Qursapa’s MAniFEsto.—General Manuel Quesada, Commander-in-Chief of the republi- can army of the island of Cuba, who arrived in this country about ten days ago, has de- ‘livered an address to the people of the United States, which will be found on another page. The General speaks hopefully of the future and boldly avows that the Cubans fighting in Cuba have resolved that their country shall soon, be a free and independent nation. A tabular statement of the strength of the liberating army is contained in the General’s manifesto, and it no doubt will afford food for reflection by those who seem to believe that the Cuban’ rebellion amounts to nothing. Not only have the Cubans an organized army, but they have also, according to General Quesada, in the district ocoupied by their troops, churches, schools and manufactories for the supplying of war material, The manifesto isa calm, can- did and earnest document, Tas Missive StRaMERS—STILL a CHANOE.— A despatch from London states that sailing vessels which left here before the steamer City of Boston are just arriving at Liverpool, and the managers of the line are thereby en- couraged to believe that the missing steamer may be making her way slowly to port under sail. As she was not fully supplied with sails the theory is very well borne out. Even with ® full supply of canvas she would go very slowly—much slower than a regular sailing ship, for the reason that she is much heavier and her propeller would be a drag in the water, She may yet be drifting slowly and tediously, but safely, into port, The same theory will hold good in regard to the Smidt, which is much slower than the City of Boston. AwotHEr Bririsa Gop Fierp, Pernars.— It is reported that back in the Rocky Moun- tain chain, in British Columbia, a gold field hae been discovered as rich.as the original Cali- fornia, with Australia piled on top. We have had some such reports heretofore from British Columbia and Oregon, and even from Alaska ; but the gold hunters drawn into those regions thereby have invariably come away impove- rished, half starved and disgusted. Soientifi- cally considered, however, there is no reason why gold should not exist in the same chain of mountains, of the same geological strata, north of Colorado, Idaho and Montana as well as in those territories, and if British Columbia has the rich mines reported California will soon supply the diggers. Senator Sumner’s Ipgas,—From the re- port of the late political interview of an intelli- gent woman with Senator Sumner, which we published yesterday, it appears that he would prefer the annexation of the Canadas to the absorption of Mexico, because the Canadians are of our own white races, while the Mexi- cans are a mixture of inferior colors.

March has made a good beginning to bring up the deficiencies of December, Janu- ary and February, and St. Patrick's Day has still to come. Wuirremore announces himself as a candi- date for re-election to Congress, and says that Logan and the members who voted against him want him to come back. But the more vital question to Whittemore would be, does his constituency want him to gome back?
