NHW YORK, October 12.-Intelli? gence from Mexico via Havana, to the 30th of September, states that Lieut. Maury, late rebel official, has received from Maximilian naturaliza? tion papers, and is, therefore, now a j Mexican citizen. The story that Juarez "had passed the frontier of Paso del Norte and ? gone to Santa Fe, was believed in the city of Mexico, on the 30th. The Imperialist organs recorded it as the practical end of Juarez resistance. ' A party of Zouaves attacked a party of Juarezites, under Mundez, and dispersed them, thus re-establishing communication between Tampico and San Louis Potosi. Various other small battles are re? ported as resulting favorably for the Imperialist cause. Volcano in Oregon, cfc.

CARD. ; To ttie People of the Third Congressional j District, composed. of Abbetille, Edge ?eld, Nexeberrg, EairfieU'*,* Lexington, \ Jlicldand and Orangeburg: FKLIXIW-CITTZESS: At the solicitation of my friends, I hare been induced to appear j beforo you as a candidate to represent you in the Congress of the United States at the approaching 'election. In taking such a position. I ant weil aware that your right to kJbw clearly n.y opinion oh all political subjects is unques? tionable. j I now prdceed, briefy, to give you my views on such topics aa, in my judgment, mostly ink-rest you afc this rtime. I intend j to- speak to- you. plainly, for I ?rant to be understood by everybody. Before assuming any .position,' however, or placing myself cn any platform, it will be well for us to take a passing glance and trace, hurriedly, tho deep and woeful ravages mada by the bloody and desolating tract of "cruel war" upon our once prosper? ous and happy land. What a picture hes outspread as we take this backward turn. ""What a picture of contrast, engraved,-as it were, by the iron .wrought pencil dripping with the stream of gory red that has deluged om*. mountains and plains, hil1 sides and glens, during the four past and lengthened years of "cruel war;" then the storm felt lashings, whether of adverse winds, the lightnings sudden violence, or tbj? wailings, in tlraidrous echoes, of many bleeding hearts, do but add new terrors to the terrific scene passing beneath our vision. I repeat again, what a sad picture of contrast, this, to the sunny South of by? gone dayB, blooming m prosperity; whose very mountains and hills echoed their gladest.tone?, and whose lovely vale? and gentle streams smiled with plenteens com? fort and flowed in joyous accents along, and whose light winged zephyrs breath ec but happiness. |- It is heart sick9ning truly to take ever this cursory view of tho picture, but w< must well survey our surroundings befor? deciding to take a future step. Further more, besides the deep regrets for happi ness fled, and loved ones gone, there is ai evil of much? less depth which perhap; may become of wide extension and beariijj upon thc welfare of our nation, and whicl demands some consideration therefrom \ This is thc low state of approaching bank I ruptcy that seemg weighing us downward ? Let thc platform of action of every ma: j ,bo one for the good of tho people, both a a nation and a State. While I am decided ly opposed to repudiation, I am equall averse to compelling the debtor to pay th full amount of debts contracted during th recent war. The practical maxim now wit every one should be, "To'live and let live: I am in favor of a judicious and cquitabl compromiso, and, unwilling to add oppref sion te misfortune, I trust the next Legh lature will enact sonic equitable law to th .general satisfaction of both creditor an debtor, anti save us from the ruinous coi sequences of extending bankruptcy, tin would inevitably ensue from a course favo ing only the few. Tho emancipation of .slavery by the Go' ernment of tho United States, and tl acquiescence in this movement by our ow State Convention, has brought us now to stand of deep thought, as to what mea urea irext to adopt to better our conditio and raise us once a.gain to hope and peae Varjcns are the opinions that have bei suggested as to what shall bo, done wi the negro. I can huggest no other plan f the x?rcac:it than for the negroes toile* a portioned out to each State in thc Unii according to representation, or populatio or colonize them in sarao newly acquir . territory. I am also opposed fco conferring t right of suffrage oh the recently frc negroes, because I know thom to be im pable of exercising snell a privilege, a because I consider this a dangerous ? mont to introduce into the system of c Government. I well know that this qm tion belongs properly to the decision each State, but 1 am confident it will brought before Congress, as the rest Abolition party, flushed with success victories, are ever ready to enter into n fields of agitation. The people of the North have always li some negroes among them, but never, my knowledge/have they ever raised th? negroes to ah equal ?station with thc selves. If one Northern State has ever 1 a colored Governor or Liuutenant-G?v nor, or if ono of this sable race base been honored with a seat in thc Legislat body, either State or Federal, it is unkno to me. In the State of Illinois, tho late hom? President Lincoln, fchere is a law ext prohibiting any more negroes from eetti in that State, and the right of uuffrag withheld from those already there. An similar law exists in Oliio and Indiana, i perhaps other Northern States. "Tri consistency is a bright jewel." If * negro race occupy an inferior station Noi why no* place thom in their right pl South. The very infirmity of thc rac* most- obvious to the mere physiogon and What the Creator has made black, i can never make white. Then, why allow the South thc right they assum themselves? This very innovation n the rights of their brotherhood laid foundation of ?thc recent war deep wide. Yet tho Abolitionists boast lou that the opening of this dreadful hangs not upon their shoulders. Had fourteen ot the Northern States viol; tho Federal Constitution, :.J regards fugitive . slave iaw, the S JUI/HUI.; .S. would not have been driven to Chg sta desperation that has web nigh broi rain upon them. It is true the South iras precipitate ia the secession movement, and my S'i'iMe j adginent^and feeble voice disapproved of the measure. I have ever taken fer my motto, "Equal rights to the South) as well as'to-.the Northland" if tue golden rule, "To do. unto" others, as you ?would have them do unto you," ware- laid down as tho corner- stone of the building of our nation .al Constitution, peace would forever ?well with us, and war btay far, far away. So long as the Government was in the hands of the Democratic party, our country was safe, prosperous and happy; but when the behn was wrested from them by overwhelm? ing fanaticism, the ship of State was badly i wrecked, and well nigh destroyed forever I in the whirlpool of anarchy, j I have great confidence in the Demo ! eratic party of the United States. I believe^ i the success of that party is our only hope in reconstructing the Government with equal right? under thc Constitution. Our loading men, in my opinion, commit? ted a great blunder in breaking up the De? mocratic party, by withdrawing from the Charleston Convention in 1800. And I so? lemnly believe to-day5 that if Judge Doug? las, Gen. Brorkinridge or Mr. Bell had been elected President in I860, we would not have had tho> desolating war through which we have just'passed.. President Andrew Johnson, whom I hap? pen to know personally, always baler ged to the great Democratic party, until he ran for vice-President on the ticket with Mr. lincoln. And now that Providence has decreed, for wise purposes, that he should hold the reins of Government in his own hands, he will no doubt return to his first love, and do all he can for his erring chil? dren, and plant himself firmly upon tho basis of the Constitution for the lasting preservation of that sacred trust. Let UM, then, support the Administration of Presi? dent Johnson in good faith. Let us take counsel together for the good of our com? mon country, and I venture to say, notwith? standing the great mistake made in the act of Secession, we may yet, with the guidance of Divine Providence, become a prosperous, independent and happy people. Li conclusion, fellow-citizens, permit me to remark, that if I am honored by you with a seat in Congress. I will use my* ut? most endeavor to preserve the Constitiition and to promote your welfare, in each and every respect whatever, to tho best of my ability. E. C. GRIFFIN. . P. S.
