COLONEL DENTON?THE PliESIDENCV.
AV e invite tho serious attention < 1'every
reader to what tallows :
The descent from the old lnnarks of the
llepuljlican party to the \vi dest constitutional
innovations, have been so rapid, and so
specious have hern the pretexts under which
these changes are tnarUed, that a generous
people are liable to ho betrayed, and may
iiikl themselves hi chains, oeloic they are
conscious ol the approach of danger.
Mr. lienton, a short time ago was nominated
l?y a Democratic district convention in
Missouri, as a candidate lor the Presidency.
I-e declined tin- nomination liecau.se, ;
lie says, in above Jiffy years flic democrat-y of '
the North has given but one President to the
i'mon, and that one. but for a single term,
and unless that course is changed, there trill be
an end of the parly I these, he sa\s, were
his sentiments in 18-M, and not to be discharged
now, when certain politicians at
t!ie South are presenting a lest which no
IN'orthcrn man can stand. He further says:
" i lie jl resiuenitai election ot is thecrisis
; and if the new teal can bo made to ,
govern that election, L shall consider the
danger consummated, and there must
soon bean end not only to the Democratic
party, butol all parties founded on principle,
and, eventually, an end of the Uuiun itself."'
Now, a new c;test:' are c ertain politicians
at the South presenting which no Xo!h<Tu
man can stand? Is it opposition to W'ilmots
infamous proviso ? This test was pre
sented by Northern, and not by Sonihi-rn
men. The Sotiih has acted on the dellm- i
sive entirely We suppose, then, the great
IVIissoiinan means as much as to say, that
lie wishes a dragoon the Democratic p-irty
inlo the support of the Northern candidate
even though that candidate should he of iho '
AVilinot gang. We shall sec.
AVe know not what instruction the sticklers
among us for 'comprises*5 ;{p uiy unity*'
"concession" and all such fl* vvi I he upon
this declaration of Mr. Benton, but if the
people will take our advice, they will read
carefully ihese signs, and then if tliey know
not what to do, they are hard to be taugtit.
Mocu/i((ia.) 'Jelrgrap/i,
LA VEGA.
The intelligent army col respondent of the
St. Louis Republican writes as follows
from Jalapa:
Yesterday morning I was in the company
of La Venn about an hour, and
whatever others may think, ho is liir from
entertaining the beliel that we arc speedily
to have peace ; and he makes no disguise
whatever of his own feelings, that
so far as his influence or voice can go,
the United States never shall have peace
with Mexico, so long as the Americans
have a hostile loot this side of the Nueces.
Me remarked what was very true,
that thus fiir the war had been felt more
.sensibly by th.j invaders than by the invaded
; that, in one sense, it had proved a
great relief to their nation, by the expenditure
ami diffusion of millions of money ,
among mem. wnue tney una elevated
their national character from prowess in
the estimation of the civilized world. Mr. |
Trist, the quasi Minister J'lcnijioteiUiarf/
lrom the U. S., spent some time in his company.
but I question whether he accomplishes
anything that would have the slightest
tendency to advance the object of his
mission. I also learned, from a satisfactory
source, that the controlling motive that actuated
La Vrega in refusing to accept a parole,
when the residue of the Mexican prisoners
of war did, was not so much thatof patriotism,
but on the contrary a desire to save his property
from the grasp of his own Government:
that if he accented his liberation unon
a parole ol honor, and should, notwithstanding,
refuse to head an army again in defence
of his country, against our forces, his
Government would make it an excuse to
to confiscate his extensive property, and thus
throw him penniless upon the world.

The llueeu of 10ti<4l:imi I. as a consort and
mother, is such an eniexplary lady, that it
would be desirable if she were imitated in
respect to the pcrlurmanee ??i her noble duties
l>y all other sovereign princesses o|" Kurt
?pe, and particularly by the ladies attached
toiler own Court. lint alas! her example
has no ellect in her immediate vicinity.
During each morning she rises at. 7
o'clock, promenades one hour.aml breakfasts
before (J o'clock, while the ladies of the fashable
world are just awaking when the sun
i? at meridian, and enjoy their breakfast
either in bed, ur a morning toilet in their
boudoir.
Through iho entire day the (lueen is incessantly
employed. Besides various government
duties, to which she must devote
herself, she also guides the whole education
and care of her children, and knows at each
time or hour during the day in what manner
they are engaged.

before her every morning after breakfast,
when* she individually ?iives instruction in
Knirlish ami religion. The little princess
is vehement beyond all description, but the
tl'icen is very attentive to her error, an I directed
Lady Lyltlcton (the (iowruess) to
briiif_r into rccpisitinn any punishment she
m iy 1 hinlv beneficial, to prevent her from
becoming eapi ieious.
The children are therefore very polite
and modest towards the persons appointed
over them, and as difficult as their position
in point of strict dccipline and attention is,
none can too much applaud the irenerosity,
jjreatfulnes? and skill of the Clueen.

remarkable courage and boldness on his
ponies, as to elicit universal astonishment.
The children must be daily four hours in

was laying to her anchor, gradually sinking,
! and just before she went down, a gentleman
sought out his wife, who was standing on
the hurricane deck, and thus accosted her :
uWell, wife," said he, "that long mooted i

MVh it do you mean," s:iid the wife, "what
question do you reler to?" "Why," said
h1', ''the question whether that old lied Dragon

said the lady ; "how can you jest at such a

I attended with strikingly successful effects.
In others, whore the subsoil has been thrown
on the surface, the increase in the growth
of wheat has been almost incredible. A
neighbour scattered the earth taken from a
ditch over the surface for many feet on each
side. Afterwards, when the crop of wheat
averaged on the rest of the field scarcely five
bushcis per acre, the portion which had
been thus covered with subsoil, yielded from
twenty-five bushels per acre. In this case,
the soil was light, and the subsoil somewhat
(clayey, and contained a small portion ofcar
bonatc of lime, cHervcscing slightly in the
acid ; the operation rendered the soil stronger,
firmer, and better adapted to the growth
of wheat. Doubtless large portions of our
own country might be thus greatly, and perhaps
permanently improved, by the use of
j such manure, inns lying in immense quani
titics just beneath the surface. But there
