The revolutionary parties have decided w iiuitv.Mwdcr thc.!ei1. ordiip of Alvarez, and j the chances arc decidedly in favor of his suo-1 cow in overturning the existinggovernment.!

It would be difficult tiow w?y what "principles; if thcro be any, are proposed as the ultimate object of tlic prcs. ?nt struggle, aud it would be almost fatuity fc> expect from it any results of permanent benefit to the oouutrv. Corrupt and bad as 6*nta Anna's government is, there is no prospect of an improvement by his successor.? Mexioo has in truth no men of patriotic impulse# or of honest intentions, who can rally the people to the rofonrfation of abuses, the protection of order and liberty, and the establishment of permamcnt institutions.? j. Bankrupt in her finances and crippled in her rosources, she is 6tilL more hopelessly bereft of honest public men and reliable indepen- 1 dent citizens. Money is a primary necessity 1 to the stability of the government, and unless It obtains plenty of it the administration j must fall. Santa Anna has proved an un-1 scrupulous adept in the procurement of means 1 but in spite of his exertions and willingness I to sacrifice everything to tho exigencies of Ikis position, he seem* to bo unable longer to i supply his treasury with the money to purchase the fidelity of his officers and tho subjection of unruly partisans. Mexico will only learn from exeperionoo ' the value of liberty and peace,and the lesson < must be taught through a long course of i turbulent revolutions, which in the end may ( leave her unable to protit even by the school- i . ing which has cost her so dearly. Her great' faults aro inherent in her people?they be- j long to her race?and have been bred into j I strength during the centuries she has suffer- . ed under the desjxjtisni of her rulers and of : the church.

It has heen sonic time since we adverted. editorinllv to the Knnw ATntKino J*? yet have kcj?t our readers, generally, posted I up as to the doings of tlii.s new party.' Every I day dorelopes something now in regard to it, I and if wc were to bolicvc all that is said we would be prone to believe that it will shortly sweep over our entire country. There Kieins to be a spirit of intolerance existing amongst thoso who proffss to believe in the doctrines of the aforesaid party, which must, and will prove in the end, (if it be so) obnoxious to all true Americans. To triumph over their opponents they have instituted a reckless system of proscription, which, while it proves effectual, as to the removal from oflice, nil who are not allied to them, it carries with it an air of oppression and tyranny. which is equ^JUd only by the malignancy of the most fanatical of the anti-Amori can party. If it requires such means as this in purge the IlltJi and seutn from our legislatures and public offices, they must surely be n a most loathsome and cdioiu condition [f they will confine themselves! atone to the . allot box, the palHAfum of tho lights of \mcrican citizens, then will we consent to oin them in their (-flints to destroy the in-f luenee of Romanism in our country. Should ! hey, in their anxiety to crush at a single! blow the object of their organization, and by .heir nets of intolerance, totally disregarding die sacred lights of man, and the still more : acred right of thought, their fanaticismihould meet the same fuio which has awaited he cflbrta of all associations which have attempted simila* undertakings. We are an American?native horn?and mtertain principles which are as strong and mplacablo towards those propagated by apacy, as a just reason and proper regard vill permit us to entertain. But we are lonvinced that there is a far more available node than the one which has been given us >y the present order of Know Nothings.?

NTo matter now unsound and heretical their loctrines may appear, their errors and falseties will most assuredly he overlooked by i ?i nose wnose smypaunes may nave been ex ited on account of their oppression. 'Die history of Romanism demonstrates hat her bishops and priests have always eDleavored to 'usurp power wherever it has >een practicable and possible for them to do o. Moreover, they have attempted toabolih the common school system of 'education, 11 our country, which would be promoting nd furthering their doctrines, for it hasover ecn a principle with them to keep in ignoanec all those who are under their domin>n, especially in regard to the Tiihle, which well known, would he, and is, at the disposal of every child who attends a common clinch All of these encroachments and infringements can he root successfully upon a better >!an.

" .1 iwu cunwiujf tuu iiviii^ ijrro, but upon whom the hand of penury had been laid, and the "current*" of whose noble "souls" had been frozen by the withering touch. For a youth to be unknown to fortune is enough ; the world seek* no farther. What is he? Who is hoi What can ho do!? He's got nothing. And thus is the poor youth, whoever ho may ho, summarily dis missed from further consideration. No one '5 fears his influence, no one expects to make any considerable advantage of him, and what good or ill becomes of him is a matter with which most men have little to do. Many great men, it is true, have risen from obscurity?have overcome circumstances? have made circumstance-1. Hut who can tell j how many, like the flowers that have only! bloomed to dock the desert waste, have been crushed by adversity, for every one who has had the good fortune to rise above his circumstances ? It is an error wliiidi tlw? wm-l.! I has fallen into, that it requite* adrersity to J bring out the true character,-and that it will] in all case* develop the mind. As well j might it be urged that the wild forest is the most fit soil to develop the growth of the grain that beautifies our cultivated fields, o: that the savage state is the best adapted to bring out true genius. Do not all of our j great men who have risen from obscurity, carry with them the marks of neglected! yeuth?the foot-prints of that "chill penury" which deprived them of an early education? No future industry can fully and completely repair the injury occasioned by this early neglect. Somo of the rustic marks of boyhood will still cling to the statesman and the orator. He has not perhaps tho free and easy speech, theologanco and ease of manner, which a cultivated boyhood might have given him. He may no great, he may be powerful, but eaily culture would have added to him grace and elegance, and perhaps have given hiin more extensive views, h greater variety of thoughts, a finer capacity to investigate?a mind which he could have used with more facility, and with which he could have accomplished more for the good > of mankind.

Corn and Cob Meal. Tub grinding of corn and cobs together, which we have heard ridiculed very much by some, formerly, has now become au every day occurrence, farmer* being convinced that tho cob contains too much nutriment to be thrown away. Our experience heretofore in regard to iu use is this: for those animals that chew the cud it is a most excellent provender, but for these that do not it is not so valuable. Thus, for oxen, cows and sheep, it is a capital feed. These animals,after what they swallow in warm vat, called the first stomach or paunch, havo the faculty of throwing it up again in small portions called cud, and chewing it over in a leisurely manner until it is ground very tine, and then after being, thus thorough mingled with tlio saliva, swallowing it again into another stomach, where all its nutritive matter is extracted by the proper organ* created for that purjwsc. * The horse and the hog having no such organs to re-o]bow, do not dcrivo so much benefit from tho ground eob, a* tlio animals above named. Hens derive more benefit from corn and cob meal, t han they do from corn meal alone. * t? 4u i- f *1 -i ? in luwiM in uns cians therein an npparlux an* aiogoiw to animals that chow the cud. First they take dry fool into their crop*, here it becomes soaked as if it were in a warm vat, from this it posse* into the gizzard, which, furnished with gravel Hi ones, acts the part of grinding lino, by aid of strong muscles of that organ, whatever passes into it. Here, the particles of the cob menl, thoroughly pulverized and mingled with the gastrin juices, become dissolved, nnd form nutrition for the laxly. We do not mean to say that corn and cob meal is no', good provender for horses and hogs, but that they do not derive so much benefit from pound for pound, or bushel for bushel, as oxen, oows, dec., do.?Afaint Far* m< r. Good Coffee. Ox course every body makes coffeo their their own way, ami, there aro many different ways of doing the thing, some of which are very g<xxl, nixi others decidedly had. A? good cotl'ee is a very rare production, although every IkkJv thinks they have tho very best, the following receipt from the Scientific American, for making, it timy be worth the trial of a test. The journal says: "Tho best way of making it, is to put the ground eoffee into a wide mouthed bottle over night, and pour rather moro that half a pint 01 water upon each ounce and a half, and then to cork the bottle ; in the rooming , to loosen the cork, put the bottle into a pan of water, and bring the wnter to a boiling heat. The coffee is then to be poured on clear, nnd the later portion at rained ; that which is not drunk immediately is kept closely stopped, nnd heated as it is wanted.
