Mexico AND THZ WHIGS.—The correspondent
of the New York Express, writiog from Washington
under date of March 15, concludes an article intend
ed to alarm the people about the anger t.f Mexico, with
the following sentence: •• All the accounts from that
country agree that both the Government and the peo
pie are united in feelingto re-conquer Texas." It has
'been the the fate of fisderalwhigs to be in the oppa.
anion since 1801, nearly all the time, and it has been
theft invariable fashion to sympathise and encourage
any nation which has real or imaginary cause of quar
rel w i t h o urs. Whether it is the natural tendency of
parties opposed to the administration of the govern
ment to take sides with the enemies of their country,
we know not—but we know that the federalists sym
pathised with Britain in the last war—the whigs sym
pathised with the French when .1 scarlet: had the brush
with theta—and now theynre disposetito patch° Mex
icans on the back. It is very evidentthat the wish of
the author of the aboveprediction was the father of his
thought. It is impassible that he multi know any
thing about the disposition of the Mexicans to "re
conquer" Toms, as manifested since the passage of
the annexation Resolutions. And what act of the
Mexican people previous to the passage of these reso
lutions should iaduce belief in the truth of the sup
position of the correspondent of the F.xpress i It is
well known that one of the most darling of of
Santa Ana's ambition, indeed, after stealing and
hoarding money, the great purpose of his life was to
bring Testis once more under the Mexican yoke. To
this object he was incited, not onls by the hope of ob
taining political glory, hut by a feeling much stronger
in a mean and malignant heart like his—the desire
to obtain revenge for a stinging personal disgrace.
Tens had not only been lost to Mexico during his
administration of the government, but be himself hod
been shamefully beaten by the Texans, who won their
liberty from the tyrant himself on the field of battle-
With all these incentives to urge the "re-conquering"
of Texas—which he did on all occasions—with abso
lute power over the pecuniary means and military re
sources of Mexico, Santa Ana found it impossible
induce the Mexican people to second him in his de
sire to gratify at once his political ambition am his
personal revenge.
While still full of tke project of acquiring Texas—
while talking largely of preparations to subdue it—
be was deposed from the Presidency, was for a time
a bunted end a hated wanderer, and at this moment is
confined in a gloomy dungeon, awaiting a trial, which
those with the best means of information suppose will
result in his condemnation to he shot—a sentence,
which, considering the exasperation of his cout.trymen
against him, would be more merciful than otherwise,
as it might save him from death in a more revolting
form.
Under these circumstances, is it not fair to presume
that Santa Ana's policy with regard to Texas was
disapproved by his countrymen, and was one cause of
their furious rage against him? la it not reasonable
to suppose that if they wished to "re-conquer" Tex
as, they would have sustained him in his repented at
tempt to accomplish its subjugation? There can be
but one answer to !hese questions in the minds of
impartial men. But it would seem that our whig
friends are suddenly smitten with a preference fur the
Mexicans, just like that of our federal predecessors
for the British people, and they undertake to predict
that the Mexicans are "united in feeling to re•conguer
Texas." If the Mexicans should realize the prophetic
hopes so freely expressed, and again attempt what
they have failed or neglected to do fur 9 years past,
why wo do not see any thing in it so very alarming.—
If they do DOC, ale whig politicians Mill be very likely
to denounce them for their want of spirit. • I t would
be a sore disappointment to them, if their Mexican
friends should decline the efforts to "reconquer Texas."
CARAL CostatsatosEa.—The State Central Corn
mitts:o, at their meeting on Buehler's on Thursday
last, fixed on Thursday, the 4th of September next,
for holding the State Convention to nominate a Cana l
Commissioner. It would have been better, we think,
to have held the Convention before the adjournment of 1
the Legislature. Many counties could have been rep-
resented in the convention by their members of As
sembly, who will not take the trouble to send dele.
gates to the Convention on the 4th of September.-1
The consequence will be that there v ill not be a full
convention, and the wishes of the people may not be
fairly ascertained nor carried out. We have heard it
suggested, that the State Committee might have the
saktction of candidates for Canal Commissioner, in
those years when a democratic state convention is not
held. And when the Gubernatorial convention meets,
41 candidate for Commissioner could be selected.
THE REVEN Costwissioatns.--This board cont.
pleted Its labors on Saturday last. That those labors
will prove very beneficial to the State we are some
*het induced to doubt. We do not call in question
the disposition of the Board to perform its duties
properly, but, we do not believe that the advantage
derived to the commonwealth from convening it will
ho commt , nsurate with cost of calling and maintuin
ing it.
FROM SANTA FK.—By the arrival of a party of
wane from Santa Fe, at Independence, Mo., news
from that region to the Ist of January had been
.received.
As. Santa Fe, at the tome et their departure, news
had been received of the revolutions which had taken
place in Chihuahua, Senora, Durangc, Zacatecas and
Guada'exam and an attempt at revolt was daily an
ticipated by the Governor of Santa Fe, Martinez. It
is supposed that Armige, the foimerGovernor. will be
the leaderin the revolt. Martinet, it is said, has al
ready made his arrangentemts to make his escape.
That Martinez knows the first duty of a Mexican
officer, is sufficiently proved by this cunning foretho't.
THE NEW YORK PoLtcx.—The following is the

MEXICO.—We bare received, says the New Orleans
Bulletin, by the brig Leopold O'Donnell, Capt. Davit,
from Vera Crux, papers up to the 27th of February.
The Nati anal Congress were occupied with tbs discus
*ion of the new constitution, which very nearly resem
bles that of the United States. The pti`ncipal sections
have already been adopted. M. Gornec Faris, who
has been received with the greatest enthusiasm at
Vera Cruz, proceeded to Mexico. Santa Anna was
still a prisoner in the Castle of Perote, and the gene
ral opinion is that he will neither be put to death nor
banished, but will la 3 imprisoned fur the remainder of
his life.
NEW EUMPSHIRC—The Boston Post of Saturda
gives returns from 143 towns. The Post concludes
that BTEst.a, dem. will be elected by 1000 or 150 ff
votes over all whets. The Maryland Patriot thinks
he will have but about 500 majority. The Patriot be
lieves that it is "extremely doubtful" whether WOOD
BURT is elected or not.
ALABAM• M. E. Coign:RN CE.—The Alabama
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Chorch, which
recently met at \Vetumrka, adjourned on the sth in
stunt. Biehor Andrews presided. The proceed
ings nl . the Conference, we learn I rom the Mobile
Register, were marked by a spirit of perfect harmony
and concord. Resolutions were unanimously adopted,
approving of the action of the southern delegation at
the General Conference, in view of a division of the
church, and appointing representatives, as recom
mended, to the Louisville Convention.
-
THE RASDALPH FAMILY.—There has been much
speculation about the remit of the great Randolph
Will Case. It was said, at one time, that St. George
Randolph, a jeer neyman printer in Kentucky, (and who
was, many years ago, employed in this city) had re
ceived a large share. This, unfortunately for the
poor typo, is a false rumor. The Baltimore Clipper's
correspondent at Washington cit; , has the following in
relation to the Randolph family. It would seem that
the poor lunatic has the largest share of the estate of '
his uncht
"John Randolph's father was named John. 1114
mother %Vasa daughter of Col Theodorick Bland, well
known in Virginia Revolutionary History. He had
two brothers, Richard, older than himself, and Them
dorick, I think, was the youngest. Their father died
when they were mere infants. John and Theodorick
were never metaled. Richard married Judith, the
daughter of Cut Thomas Mann Randolph, of Tucka
ioe. One of her brothers was afterwards Governor
of Virginia, and married the daughter of Thames
Jeffeisen. Richard Randolph, the brother of John,
and Judith his wife, had two children, Tudor and St.
Geotge. Tudor died many years ago St George is
still alive, and is the tenant of a Lunatic Asylum
either of Baltimore or Philadelphia. He has been
deuf and dumb from his birth. He is the person who
iaherits the larger p rtion of John Randolph's estate.
His father left him and his brother a very large estate.
When Tudor died, John Randolph, as the guardian of
St. George, had the management of his estate
When his nephew became hopelessly insane, he of
course was the person designated by law as his suc
cessor, and would have inherited the whole estate had
he survived that nephew. In all his wills he has will
ed away St George's estate as well as his own—it be
ing clearly his andel the circumstances. Without any
will, St George would likewise be his heir. John
Randolph's mother, after the death of her first hus
band, married St George Tucker, Eq., from Bermu
da. He died a Judge of the Court of Appeals of
Virginia. Beverly Tucker, Professor of Law at Wil
liam and Mary, and Henry St. George' Tucker filling
the same Chair at the University of Virginia, are the
sons of this gentleman, and the half brothers of John
Randolph. Ile had, also, one half sister, (Mrs.
Coulter.) John Randolph has no living nephew of
the whole blood but St. George Randolph, spoken of
above. 111 ETltoroL IS.

THE WHEAT INSECT. — We find a letter in the N.
Yolk Mirrut, from Mr li S Pell, dated March 7th,
which gives the following facts as having occurred on
his farm near the city. It is, no doubt, a matter of
much interest to the agriculturists:
"In the apring of '44, I placed a bag containing
half a bushel of white flint e heat, in a seed drawer,
under gloss, and near the furnace of my green house.
On the 6th of March, 1895, 1 opened the bag, and to
my surprise found thousands of living insects, such as
are now presented you—some we on rise point of leav

through, and many were perfectly formed, and run

"Six years ago I was in the habit o. soaking my
early grains in 58h, brine, for the purpose of destro)ing
the egg of the insect, which I assured my neighbors,
much to their amusement and unbelief, was ensconced
in the kernel. Now, by accident, the fact is made
manifest. This insect would not have appeared until
June, perhaps, had the wheat been. sown. The warm
situation it occupied in the green house brought it thus
early to maturity."

the affirmative. "Is it first rater "First rate, sir,"
was the reply. "I will take a qnarter of it, to try."
He got his powder,

the store keeper pointed to the opposite side of the
river, (which was about three hundred yards) where
there was a goose picking grass. "There," says he,
"shoot that goose!" The boozier leveled his rifle, fired,
and over tumbled the goose. A boy jumped into the
