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

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.

should look upon our institutions, and our j
material progress and welfare under them, j 1
with admiration and deiiire. 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 ,

"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.
V What Judge Marshall says of his biogra- '
pby of Washington, is to a great extent
true of the biography of the distinguished
leaders in the several Churchcs?the history
of tllAtr ioKftitn/l t\r\ !n tl?/% '
.MV*< VIUivo ? wvuuu i?|/ 111 vuv2 aiui y ui 1(11?
men. 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. In making.the
selection, Dr. Sprngue has availed
himself of the judgment of the nw.t distin
' gpiished living ministers in each denomination
in the various parts of tho country.

The Stream of Time.
It 19 a silent stream ;
Culm as a quiet sleep :
T .1 strange repose,
The still stream flows,
Where the mourners cease to weep.
It is a wide spread stream,
And every valley fills ;
It covers the plains,
And the high domains
Of the everlasting hilly.
It is a ceaseless stream ;
Forever ilowiug fust,
Like a solemn tide
To the ocean wide
Of the far, unfathomcd past.
It is a mighty stream ;
Resistless in its sway ;
To the loftiest things,
The strongest kings,
It carries with ease away.
It is a precious stream ;
For pearls of price untold
Rewurd the care
or the searcher there,
Anil its sands ure sands of gold.
Through silent realms of night;
Through cuery glorious clinic ;
Jty night uiul day
On its wide-spread way,
Fust flows the stream of time.

and responsibilities of the human weather-boarding
department that just as soon as
lie lays his eyes on a man, he knows what lie
lacks?whether it is food or raiment. lie is
just the same to mankind that spring is to vegetation.
Country merchants would do well to
come in and take a few lessons?charges moderate
for single scholar?classes taken at reduced
rates.
If it is food and raiment, he takes him in,
covers, weather-boards and floors him, and
then sends him over to his friend, H. S. Kerr,
or down to Lotnax it Cobb's, where in a few
minutes, after the patient has renlised the reviving,
healthful inttuenceof the external ap
plication, they Will commence the inside work

then start him home. And it is no wonder, after
taking some of Lomnx <fc Cobb's or II. S.
Kerr'? in'ard filling (which is substantia), no
liquid) then allowing Lyons to give them what's
called the surfaec polish, thut men's wives
don't know them when they go home; the

some city folks have comc to their pa's houses,
young ladies commence fixing up to entertain

A few men of rather ordinary appearance,
who have thrown themselves entirely Into Lyons'
hand*, know the advantages to be derived
from a suit of his Clothes ; it has married them
into rich families, given them a standing far beyond
their expectations, and been the means of
pitching them ius high up asphifty-phour pliorty
in the scale of uppertendom respectability.
There are now in the city of Abbeville, 8

it will not do for a gentleman to make a bad

ir from its cures of every variety <>r pulmonary disease, ;
that it is entirely unnecessary t<> recount I lie evi- ]

and so numerous tho cases of its euros,
? that almost every section of tho country abound:
)f in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
' over every other medicine of its kind is too npp.-ilo

of the pulmonary organs which are incident

their origin in n diseased state of the stomach,

sanction of yenrs of successful application in
private practice. It was not suddenly hit ur- b
os, nor <i reamed of, but id the assertion of facta V
and experiments collected in the doily rounds ?
of duty as n practising physician, and is given
to the public in a popular form, in the hope,
as in the belief, that it will not fail i?* giving
relief to the sufferer from Dyspepsia and all
other diseases having their origin in ther stomach,
in any instance where the directions- ara
properly attended to. It is entirely dissimilar"
