The Future of Mexico. Comonfort lias either beet) untrue to tbe devolution which placed him in power, or unable to work out the progamme which it comprised. It is likely he committed the common error of mediocre statesmen, and stopped short before th? revolution was complete, compromising the future for the tranquillity of tfie present, and attempting to consolidate liis power, before he !.;;d established a principle, by an amalgamation of incongruous elements. A failure i* the r/uilllf ITn l?no nffn/i*u/l /%* vwm>?* AAV/ MIM vuv\'WM iiv yyj* vii/di ui wnii" roercial reform worth mentioning though tho demand for both?trenchant and thorough?was tho watchword of the revolution. The Church defies him ; iusnrrectien bristles all around him; ho is on a volcano <of reaction and explosion ; England presses the claims of her citizens upon him ; Spain tbullies him, and talks about tho recoiupiest of Mexico ; and, altogether, he is, to use an expressive vernacular phrase, "in a fix." "What is ho to do ? What is Mexico to do to save the remnant of civilization left it, and to secure a future of better tilings? Wo have heretofore, pronounced the civilization of Mexico, as at present organized, (or unorganized,) and resting upon such social elements as now exist in that country, to be a failure, ami have said that the only regeneration for it must come from without. The half million of whites can do nothing, and are gradually melting away in the 'dark tide of mongrelism. The mixed races can do nothing, for they arc incapable of ?..v> V.J VK.J H'llllVI ill- | to tlicir original savagery, ami demonstrating tliat (lie most fatal blunder in Mexican i polilcs lias been (he equalization of (lie Caucasian with inferior races. Regeneration , then must conic from without if it come at all. And it will come, for civilization abhors a vacuum, and the commerce of (he nineteenth century will not leave such an India of the West, so opulent in resources, and so admirable in its geography, to ' flic unoccupied and undeveloped. But ' whence is this kind of regeneration to come? It is a sufficient answer to say that the future of Mexico, like the future of Cuba' ns an American question. ''This is not by any means a new idea with the people of Mexico. When it was j proposed, after the close of the war, to hold ' rthat country under military away, with a 1 \perfect originization of the municipal bod- ' ies, and Gen. Quitman was called home 1 from his position as Governor of the city of 1 Mexico, to receive detailed instructions from our own Government, the idea found many j strong supporters there. It is well known ' that after that plan fell throucrh bv tho ma- i king of the unauthorized treaty of peace, Gen. Scott was offered a million of dollars by , a body of the prominent citizens there, if , he would remain aud organize a Government. At a late date, when the Cuban expe dition was nearly consummated by Gen. Quitman, ho was approached by parties | from Mexico, and an invitation to turn his organization to that country was held out to !iim. Comonfort, therefore, in seeking the aid of our Government, is only following in i the footsteps of former events. ?Tt ;n of oil ft,-?.:..:-- ?;?

There is in | Iier midst a large party of conservative ; ir -and order-loving citizens, who have ever , regretted the day when our army was withdrawn from her borders, and who would 1 hail with delight the advent of a Govern- ! ment directed by, and in close alliance with , our own. Snch an event would be to Mex- j ico the greatest possible guarantee of a !" liberal rule, and the development of her rich ' resources." ^ ? - ? "Annals of the American Pulpit." , Mr. Edilor :?T have had the pleasure ' of reading a work bearing the foregoing title, ' just published by the Ilev. W. 13. Spraguc, j , of Albany. It is composed of two large | ] octavo volumes?the precursors of several j others of the same description, designed to | 1 be a literary monument of the American pul- ! pit, and to commemorate distinguished j clergymen of tho various evangelical denom- , inations in this country, from its early settlement, to the close of the year 1855.

These volumes accordingly, present us with a succinct history of the progress of the American churches. That this important feature of the work may be more distinctly marked, the biographical notices of each # denomination are kept distinct; and each begins witih a chronological and ends with an alphabetical index. The accomplished and catholic spirited author has sought the best accessible testimony concerning the character r?f r>or r - eons here noticed, from living men who fiad knowledge of them ; and this testimony is embodied in letters containing their recollections and impressions. To each of these lotters ia prefixed a short historical sketch by the author. Another characteristic feature, of the work, is its exemption from denominational partiality ;?the author's aim being to present afaithful outline of'the mental peculiarities, style, manner, and labours of each individual whose portraitture is given, without justifying or condemning his opin- , ioiwi , 1 The subjects selected, are the preachers ! most eminent for ability, usefulness, or posi- , tion in their several communions.
