vrry important has occurrerf of late in this republic. Señor Cuevas bos nddressed a leUer to Mr. Shannon, onr minis irr, complaim.ng of the unfiiendly act of the Uuitcd States in profFenñg annexatioti to their revolled province. ond declarnL a detcnnintion to support the honor and sovtigtjty of Mexico. The trial of Santa Anna hns been conClüded, luit sentence liad not been pronounced. An attesnpt to rnise an insurrection in his favor was promptly put down.ttr The Detroit Adverriser, not. hnviiip been ab!e tfl destroy the Liberiy party, and finding itsleadily on the increase Wlth oach ■ucceeding year, has resorted to Balak's expedient qf prophesying it down. It has foand n Balnam ;i the Jackson Patriot, whicli snys that the Liberty party has reached the zenith of ils prosperity, and the Advertiser ís deligiited with the opinión, nnd qtioles a falling off of the Liberiy vote in the township elections of Jackson and Troy asomple evidences of :ts correctness. Nul hing is easier than to find a few isolated instences of this kind, and draw a conclusión from them for o thousand other cases. The argument amonnts to this: ihe Liberty vote has fallen oíl" in tico towns: iherefore it wHl dimiuish in 200 laytaal Q. E. D. The Liberty vote in Troy, the Adverteer says,hns diminibhed eiyhteen votes: e ore informed that in Cemmerce, ín the same coiinty, at the Spring election, it gained lioenlyfive, the Whigs being so reduced that no nomination was made by them. Look nlso at the case of New Buftaln, in our paper of to-day. We mighl tnultiply instance, but we do not predícale gencrul conclusions on one or two cases of litis kind. At thetion Jast fall, the Liberty vote increaíed n every coun!y in the Stnte except one: the spring elections liave also ebpwu an increase of the whoíe vote. But let us tnke tliison a little largor ecnle. What kind of an ornen doos the Advcrtiser find for WliifTgery in the nduclion ot'its volé n New Vork city to abotit aneighih of' the whole numbcr? Or in the fuct liiat nt the last Presidentinl clection the Whig mnjorities veré less m every State bt one tlitrn ihey were foiir yeard ago? Or ir another fuct. that the Liberty vote of New llumpshire has gained l,í00 frince last fall, and that the Lihberty vote is krger than tho Wliig in Forti Two t.owns? dCf All the news we receive from Wisconsin looks righl for tlie progress of Liberty principies. At the charter election for Southport, the Liberty Vote was 75, Whig 65, Democratie 112. In the North Ward the Liberty vote lacked only three of a majority over both the other parties. In Spring Prairie the average Liberty vote was 33: the Union ticket received 6G votes. In New Berlin, 29 Liberty votes, G3 proslavcry. Th is was the first organization.
