ting of the County Locoi Foco Convention,
to liominate Candidates for the Legisla

ano)her beautiful specimen of the unity
of (he " harmonious Democracy." Not
onl bitter heartburnings and disappoint

open and avowed disruption was the con

ly left the Convention, severely denoun
cing toth the manner adopted for choos

! LATER FROM MEXICO.
By the arrival last night of the schr.
Athos. Capt. Worth, from Vera Cruz, we
have Vera Cruz papers to the 4th instant,
inclusive one day later than previous
dates received. The news is veryEscanty.
We copy the following from the Free A
merican of the 4th insr. p ;
v We received dates from the '(city ol
Mexico last night two days latr than
those received by Monday's mail. I
A letter in the Monitor, dated Quereta
ro, April 25, says that nine Deputies were
still wahtmg to constitute a qoorum. The
same letter states that Sr. UfjonJ before
resigning his seat in the House lefi a writ
ten speech against peace; and it is proba
ble it will be published, j Gen. Almonte
arrived at Queretarotp;ae his seat in
the Senate. He is opposed to the Treaty,
and the government look ! upon ni'm with
suspicion. The two Senators of the Dis
trict of Mexico had resigned their seats in
Congress. The writer closes hs letter
saying that he would not be surprised to
see the government, before ratifying the
Treaty, dissolved, and edch one take the
road for home. ' J
The Monitor is of opinion that Congress
would meet on the 1st inst. j
It is reported that Otero is thq leader
of the war party in the House of Repre
sentatives. ! !
Sr. Micheltorena, one of the Deputies,
deserted his post and left Queretairo.
El Progreso, of Queretaro, says, on the
27th inst., that Congress will not fmeet.
The Free American of the 3rd has the
following items :
We learn from the Monitor of he 27th
that the American commissioners were
to leave on that day for Queretaro, with
an escort of fifty men. i i j
A conducta left the city of Mexico on
the 2Gth ult., with 81,050,000 for Vera
Cruz. The duties on this sum amount to
$115,000.
The dlligencia which arrived on the
27th ult, at Mexico from Puebla, was fol
lowed by robbers ; but two accompanied
it, having fired on them, they took fright.
A lettter to the Monitor, dated San Ju
an del Rio, April 23d, represents that part
of the country in a deplorable condition,
and infested with robbers, who commit
depredations with impunity in the face of
the authorities. In the ; course of one
month several haciendas i have beeu destroyed.
I of this morning, which, though from fi pri
vate source, satisfied him that a treaty
had been entered into between the white
and Indian population of Yucatan, which
might render any interference on our part
unnecessary. For this reason he felt it to
be his duty not to press the vote on the
bill to day, and he would therefore move
that it be passed by informally.
Mr. Dix expressed his regret that he
had not sooner been apprised of this, as
the Senate would do him the justice to
say, that he was not in the habit ol in
flicting upon them a speech unnecessarily.
The Senate passed over the bill ; and
so we hope has been put to rest this new
popularity-hunting humbug.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE YADKIN.
WARM TESTIMONY OF AFFEC
TION TO GEN. SCOTT.
The American Star, published in the
City of Mexico, in its number of the 23rd
ultimo, states that on the departure of the
late commander-in chief, the warmest de
monstrations of affection were lavished
onhim by his late companions in arms :
Yetserday morning his friends and
their name is legion assembled on the
street fronting his dwelling, and. as he was
too much overcome to receive them all,
those who had not the happiness of shak
ing him by the hand, were glad to get a
sight of him as he departed. Those who
had not even the chance of seeing him,
mounted their horses and followed him on
the road, determined that he who had led
them from victory to victory should not
leave the valley of his great operations
without one adieu. Around his carriage
for he was too much exhausted by J his
late heavy labors, and the emotions of
parting with his brothers in arms, to ride
on horseback as it proceeded along-ihe
causeway to El Penon, the officers crowd
ed, and as fast as one could give the 'God
bless you, General,' and fall back, his place
was supplied by another, and so the adieus
continued for a long way on the road.
But the most affecting scene of all was
when he left his house. The rifle guard
was drawn up to receive him, and as he
passed they presented arms to their be
loved commander for the last time ; they
shed tears like children, and so affected
was the old hero, that he could scarcely
get into the carriage.

THE FIRE AT DETROIT.
THREE HUNDRED BUILDINGS DE
STROYED!!
Th recent conflagration at Detroit,
Michrgan, is said to have consumed three
hundred buildings, leaving from 300 to
400 families houseless, and occasioning a
losi of from $200,000 to $300,000.
The fire originated ih the large store
houses .between Bates and Randolph
streets, unoccupied, by sparks from the
propellqr St. Joseph, which was firing up
at th(j time, at about half past 10 o'clock,
A. M , and continued lo rage till 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. ' i
Thj? warehouse occupied by De Wolf,
the old Bartlet market, the Steamboat
Hotel, the Wales Hotel, &c, are all in
ashe.
Not a building is left standins: below
Jefferson Avenue, between Brush street
and an alley between Bates & Randolph
streets, except the Warehouse ot Brewster
& )iidgeon, and Thompson's Hotel ; and
maiW are burned above Brush street.
On Jefferson Avenue, every building on
south side is destroyed, from the new Cam
pau tlock, which was partially'destroyed,
to the second building below the Congre
gational Church. AlLbetwcen that and
the Hver is in ashes.
From the National Intelligencer, j
IMPORTANT FROM YUCATAN.
Accounts heretofore received from the
peninsula of Yucatan represented that
Jacinto Pat, the principal chief of the re
volted Indians, was negotiating with the
Government for an jadjustment of their
difficulties, but was regarded with suspi
cion, '. because, while he was offering to
lay down his arms for certain considera
tions and indemnities, Cecilio Ehj, anoth
er ctiifj ws desolating the country. The
Govcrnrnent, however, had gone so far as
to diject ail Indians imprisoned on account
of insurrections to be set at large, and all
criminal prosecutions against Indians for
the same offence to be discontinue.:! ; and,
in an action which topk place on the 13ih
April, between some three! hundred Indi
ans of Ehi's division and the Yucatecos,
the latter succeededjfl putting the Indians
to rout, alter killing and Wounding a third
of their number.
It now appears, by the latest intelli
gence from Yucatanj contained in the
Vera Cruz Arco Iris" of the 3d instant,
that the negotiations above referred to
have resulted, at least, in a temporary set
tlementof theexistingdifferences between
the hostile races. Tbe Spaniards, t seems, I
have conceded every point demanded by
the Indians : yet, notwithstanding this, the
letter indicates that some of the tribes are
much dissatisfied with the treaty
Correspondence of the Vera Cruz Arco Iris.
Campeaciiy, April 25, 1848.
"Dear Sir: I take this: opportunity of
communicating to you the most irpportant
news :
The country becomes every day in a
worse condition; and if, in four months,
foreign aid dues not arrive, Yucatan will
not survive. The negotiations wb)ch have
been concluded with !he Chief Pat will
only serve us momentarily. The treaty
runs in this wise : Pat, ai the instance of
his friends, signed articles jhighJri degrad
ing to the whites and their Government.
Pat is to be Governor during life, of the
Indians. Don Barbachitlo is to )be Gov
ernor of the whites duririg; life. Twenty
five hundred guns, taken from th0 Indians
previous to the war, are to be returned to
Pat. All debts due by the Indians are to
be remitted. The uncultivated lands
which had been sold by the Government,
shall become common property.' There
shall not be any personal contribution in
Yucatan. The right of estola is abolished.
44 The other Indian chiefs, however, de
ny that Pat had any right to make this
treaty. His troops are abandoning him,
and committing the wor$tsort of excess

GEN, SCOTT'S LAST NIGHT IN THE
CAPITAL.
A large assemblage of the friends of
this noble and gallant soldier collected in
front of his quarters tbe night before last,
and bade him farewell by a grand sere
nade. Several very appropriate and
touching airs were played, and at the
close of the spirit-stirring sounds of Hail
to the Chief,' the commanding form of the
General was seen to come to the front of
the balcony, from whence he bowed his
thanks silently, it is true, but hisv feelings
of many a bounding and warm heart re
sponded, and three loud and hearty cheers
were given to General Scott as he disap
peared from the window.
DEMOCRATIC LOGIC AND ITS LEG- " "
1TIM ATE CONCLUSIONS. I CAROLINA
!. . . . r . ;
Times are hard now." l his is a pro
position which will not be denied by any
body. Every jbody feels, to a greater or
less degree, that time? are hard, and there
seems to be a1 foreboding thajt they are
not yet at the hardest. What has produ
ced these hart! times t To answer this
question, we must borrow the logic of our
Democratic friends. To this they cer
tainly will notjbe unneighborly enough to
object, although it may bring them to con
clusions which are unpalatable. Truth
is truth, "and should be followed, no mat
ter to what goal it may carry us.
Twelve months ago the country was
said to be in a! state of great prosperity.
All our products commanded good prices,
and the articles of bread stuffs, in partic
ular, were in great and profitable demand.
Every thing went on swimmingly, and
our democratic friends were rejoicing in
the belief that this delightful state of "af
fairs was solely attributable to the policy
of one James K. Polk and his Democratic
co-laborers. The predictions made by the
Whigs when the policy of the Adminis
tration was broached were tauntingly pa
raded before the public, and the derision
due to false prophets was heaped upon
them without measure and without stint.
In vain did the much derided Whigs re
monstrate and protest that the good times
that then existed had no more to do with
the Tariff of '4G than with the man in the
moon. Their assertion, that the famine
in Europe had raised prices, was laughed
to scorn, and the wailings of the starving
j Irish were drowned by the loud huzzas of
the triumphant Democracy over the won
der-working properties of the glorious Ta-1
riff of '4G.
Well, Time, which, in its operations,
does not wait even upon the Tariffof '40,
passed on another year has gone, and
what is the condition of affairs ? Where
are the golden dreams of wealth and pros
perity where the joys, the hope, the elas
ticity of spirit ? Gone, and in their place
we have bankruptcy, gloom, pressure and
universally low prices. Cotton, which, last
year, brought 10 a 10J, is now a drug at
5 and C cents. -Corn Meal, which, in 1847,
sold readily at 85 per bbl., can now be
bought at Si 75 and 82 a bbl. Flour,
which sold at 80 in '47, can now be bought
at from 84 to 85 Wheat, Corn. Oats, Ba
con, Lard and Sugar, have suffered a like
reduction, and our Virginia staple of To
bacco, which, this time last year, ranged
from 82 50 to 80 50 per 100 lbs., now
commands from 81 50 80 to and 87. These
are the facts, and how are they to be ac
counted for ? Why. certainly, the Tariff
of 4G has produced this revulsion. This
Tariff of '4G is a powerful machine, our
democratic friends say, and they must ad
mit that it has been powerful for mischief.
; GEN. SCOTT AT VERA CRUZ.
The Vera Cruz Free American has the
following i
Arrival and Departure of Gen. Scott.
Sunday last, at 4 o'clock, p. m., the great
est excitement, that was ever recorded in
the annalsof Vera Cruz, existed among the
American population of this city. Hurah !
shquted from mouth to mouth, from street
to street, made every one spring from their
dwellings to the street, as if all were
struck with the same thought. The en
thusiasm was greater than ever we had
witnessed before. Veteran soldiers who
had followed him in the whole course of
his victories, were seen to kneel and bless
the man who had led them to glory.
Even crippled soldiers, disregarding their
infirmities, were seen crawling through
the crowd to see their General.
The General alighted at the custom
house, and there was visited by a great
number of officers and citizens. About
three quarters of an hour after his arrival. !
he left in Captain Landum's boat for the
brig Petersburg, then in the harbor. Yes
terday evening the brig was towed out by
the towboat Thompson, and is now on her
way to New York with her eminent pas
senger We cannot let this occasion pass with
out expressing our feelings and those of
the American citizens of Vera Cruz, in
regard to the conduct of the administra
tion towards a man who has so nobly
fought lor his country, and so gloriously
shed unfading lustre on our arms.
Indignalion is aroused in the heart of
every American, and the nation, without
distinction df party, will reward true mer-
it, and show the administration lhat in
trigue cannbt succeed with an enlighten
j ed people. $
j Since the beginning of the war, our
j Government has committed acts so arbi-
trary, that they will ever be a disgrace to
the Republic. Party principles have gui
ded the Administration in the wrong paths,
and while the people's feelings are mostly

They cannot look beyond the 44 Tariff of
4G, for it is still in force. It is true, that
Europe is convulsed now with political
agitation, but it is not the less true, that
it was wasted by lamine in 1847. If,
therefore, the high prices last year were
not produced by the famine in Europe,
the low prices of this year are not produ
ced by the revolutions which now con
vulse that country. What then has caus
ed our present disastrous condition ? An

ity,) that Hon. Eil ward Stanly, tbe pre
