A Telegraphic despatch dated yesterday at New "Orleans announces that the city of Monterey, in Nor thern Mexico, was taken on the 27th ultimo by a par- . ty of Revolutionists. Gen. Cordova, the Governor of Jiueva Leon, was taken prisoner, together with, his officers and troops, about seventy in number, and a quantity of munitions of war, including twenty-six cannon. The neighboring country was consequently . in a state of great excitement, and business was gene- Tally suspended. - This news reached New Orleans from the Rio Grande, the dates from the Brazos being to the 10th instant. The following extracts from the Corpus Christi Advertiser of the 2d instant will explain the cause: of this sudden outbreak : " The news from Mexico is. important and exciting. It appears that orders from Santa Anna were receiv ed to arrest and shoot, without ceremony, some of the leading citizens of Monterey and Lampasas among them Don Mantiago Vibouri, late Secretary of State ub xxueva jjeon, a man oi great influence.

' Successful almost everywhere before, the result of the Philadelphia Convention has infused new life and energies into the party throughout the whole country. .' GREELEY IN PRISON.. It has been said that ' 'if you wish to get into busi ness, go where you have no business and you can suc ceed." "Whether this be so or not, Horace Greeley re cently embarked for France and soon after his arrival there he met with ft very cordial reception, somewhat after the folic wing style : . It seems that a Mons. .Leschene had sent over to the N, Y. Crystal Palace a piece of statuary of some kind for exhibition.'' Being unable to hear from it, Mon. L. supposed it to have beenlbroken perhaps en route. Mr. Greeley was one of the Board of Commissioners of the Palace, and upon his " distinguished rrival" in Paris, having caused some excitement, Mons. L. recognized the name of Mr. G. as one of whom, he might make available at the end of damages to the amount of $2,- 500 (we believe.) Mr. G. was accordingly arrested, and in default of bail, abundance of which he says he could have given, was conducted very promptly to a sort of debtor's prison, termed the " Clinchy," where he says he spent a very agreeable time for two days, .at least, in a state of better security than at any pre vious time of his life. ' He obtained the best legal as sistance, however, and it was decided that Horace was " hot the man," whereupon he was released. - Horace has written home to his paper an exceedingly amusing I letter on the subject, which we have not seen. - CORRECT THE RECORD.

Add "political supremacy " 33 a matter of intense interest to the Pierce and Forney party just iow, overridfig aH; others. K we have not misappre hended the true meaning of this resolution, it ha at least one admirable quality; and one eiffremel jttintisu al from .that quarter 4 that is,' its candor kt tho sym pathy expressed for its northern brethren. For we weTe not prepared, we confess, for a tender of thanks to northern people ot any party for suehseutiments as are contained from the Ohio resolution quoted above. In fact we must suppose that some of the old experi enced "judicious " wheelhorses of the party slept while this resolution was being passed. ,! But they also ,: Resolved, That it is Our judgment, that the action of the i Know Nothing Convention of New Hamp shire, and of the Know Nothing Legislature of Mas sachusetts and other northern States, in protesting a gainst the repeal of the Missouri compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the fugitive slave law, and pledging themselves to oppose the admission of any more Slaves into this Union, proves, them to be the true enemies of; the South and we deeply regret that a single Southern man . should ' be found, . so t to his interest and duty, as to give open or secret aid and comfort to such and insidious foe." ' Well, we presume it is all natural enough that they should object to the Know Nothing "action" re ferred to. ; It is theMousiness, in the Southj b de nounce them as " enemies to the South," and to shed enormous tears of "regret'' at what "Southern men "will do while the Forney and Pierce party in the same States of "New HampshircuftBd Massachusetts" have ex pressed anti-slavery sentiments quite as strong, to say nothing of the Ohio resolution above, which is nor content simply to refuse to return a runaway slave, according td the fugitive slave act who may escape from his master, but actually proposes to " eradicate " (take up by the roots) the tdhole institution? No " Know Nothing " has "even m Massachusetts" ever proposed'to go so far. . But as the Jesuit is required to assume any doctrine even the heretical, for the ad vancement of ; fte " Holy Mother " at Rome, so the "unterried ' are justified in assuming the most ultra abolition dcKstrines of a given'locality "so tha$ i res tore them to pohtical supremacy .'V Since the adjournment ot tue mew sxra kmvyvut tion, the ' National Convention of the American party have completed their labors, openly promulga ting a platform sound in principle, and highly; conser vative and national in its character, on this slavery question, whereupon these gentlemen of whoia the New Bern 'Convention complain, finding tha Jhey were compelled to leavetor the' reason that the A merican party have no sympathy for, and no compro mises to make with them, and to seek affiliation with those from whom they came, whose principfea re broader, and more ancient, even to the lembrang, of theiravoriYquotation from the Declaration of i lnder pendence that "by nature all men are free and 'equal" (white and blac) " in the sense as used by themn " said, dcoument, as they interpret it. Can there.be a doubt then, that " delusion and deception " have catts-. ed these free soilers to leave their old brethren f tem porarily j but that these ancient and broad platforms " wiH restore" them to the bosom of their natural al lies in " free', open and equal " communion with those Ohio "eradicators." But the 1 Newberne Convention grew, profoundly sensitive on the' subject of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, land' the Nebraska Kansas bill. - Bating any and remarks now; on the fact that freesoflershave supported that bill on account of the squatter sover eignty principle it contains, we will remind our New Bern friends "that this is a matter of taste entirely, and. thai they are rather unmerciful in their denunci ations of the Virginia Democracy who have just re elected a gentleman to Congress having previously, in open convention renominated him, after he had written, spoken "and voted agatnst wis same Jieoras-ka-Kansas bill 1 And is it possible that these Vir ginia democrats, who are the " lineal descendants " of Mr. Jefferson,' are be" denounced as " enemies to the .South," and those OMo". eradicators" receive " sincere thanks" for their kind of " defence of the constitutional rights of the South?" That may all be well enough for politicians in quest of political supremacy " but the people of the second Congression al District" are totally unwilling to endorse any such position.

The New York Tribune, the abolition organ, thus openly declares its opinion of the American party, as illustrated in New York, at the great mass meeting there on Monday evening of ast week. It will be seen that the Tribune agrees precisely with the reso lution of the New Berne Convention, that these free soilers were " deluded " into the order. Hear it : . " The demonstration of the ' National ' Know ifoth ings is given in another part of the paper. It was a regular Silver-Gray affair throughout. The long array of Southerners who aided Barker & Co. in adopting the Pro-Slavery Platform at Philadelphia, to the disrup tion of the National Council, occupied the whole at tention of the meeting, and they were determined to let the dough-faced Northern members of their party know that ' there is a South ;' at any rate the prepon derance of the Pro-Slavery element amng the speak ers disgusted those who have; been deluded into the Order, but who are not yet prepared to be made hew ers of wood and drawers of water for the slave lords of theSouth."

Then show ed that these things prophesies had all taken place, and Mr. Clingman, according to his iwn showing, was not a true American. He was condemned out-" of his own mouth. (We thought he haj him there.) He also read from Mr. Clingman'sjettertto Dr. clilliard, in which he tooITquite a mild yier of the case, and declared himself ready to ' defend himself against ei ther side'--which Mr. Carmichael ihpwcd was a plain confession t hat he was willing and ready to take either side of the question, as circumstances! might seem most politic ; that if the Know Nothings should be- against him,- why he was against them ; but jif they should be for him, why then he was for them and against the anti-Americans. This cut pretty deep, and Mr. Cling man hastily got up and denied that he meant any such thing. But his language was there on record, and many were of the opinion that he ha4 him there also. ' ' ! v J : ;: He then replied to the charge of abolitionism against the Order, and read from many leading abolition pa pers of the North denouncing tlie Order fori its pro- slavery affinities. Said that Mr. Clijigman had called on tne people, to stanu wicn mm and wen bcott. This sounded strange to his ears. How had Scott and he got together o soon? Mr. Clingman had occu pied three positions in regard toaScott within the last few years. First he was for him fo the Presidency, then against him, and now for him and, with him a gain!

Mr.. Car michael concluded by referring to thle old argument which Mr. Clingman and his friends had useif-against Mr. Graham, that he had been in office lung enough.

It was to respond to the Nationar Council in Philadelphia, to be sure; and everybody expected that the stripling would be about, but nv bodyexpectod to see him bring with him men (anT women too) by the square mile. - It was, alf in such a mighty demonstration of the people the reaf Amcricnii people, we mean uch as the Commcrciaf Emporium never beheld before. v The Park meeting ws in a good degree impromptu . no time having Deen allowed for any of the usual pro parations in the wards, or for gathering together the large suljurban population that now syrround thi city. Notwithstanding; however, all that, and the very early hour, 5 r. ai, at which merr of labor and or business -ere summoned from their various avocations, thousands were on hand, and the crowd kept on coiw tinually increasing till after dark. At six o'clock the whole; lower end of the Park was full of rople, and the general estimate "was, that no fewer than twenty five thousand persons were on the ground. , The platform was accepted, with scarcely a dissen tient voiceand the cheers of acceptance were renew ed and prolonged.

DOXELSOX. .'The mention of my name, on this importunt occa sion, in connection with the Hermitage, and tlie hem and patriot that word recalls to your memory, is a sufficient indication of the thought that is upiHJimost in your mind,, and to which I must address myself. You desire to. hear how I, a ohl friend and relative df Andret Jackson his private secretary during hin Presidency, and for more than thirty years, up to tho last hours of his life, enjoying the freest access to all his papers, and maintaining the most intimate and confidential relations with him can defend the prin ciples of the newly-organized American party. Listen . to me, fellow-citizens, and I think I can satisfy yon, not only that I am consistent, but that every motive of patriotism aud public duty demanded of .me the abandonment of a party which no "longer practises the old-rashioncd democracy of. Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson, but has done all that iteould to bring intc discredit the most essential and characteristic featui-c of that democracy. Franklin Pierce came into pbfver, to use a sea-phrase, in the wake of the compromise of 1859. . That measure, carried through by the united -action of such statesmen a$ Clay, Webster, Cass, and Houston, enlisted the sympathies of the American , people, and was welcomed in every corner of on wide- uaiiuuiiv ui 1.1m j iiii:niTu.ii iiri.v u-inmn ininrm .n'nnf labored, urxler the garb ofa State rights, to bring thor Federal and State authorities in- open conflict w ith each other ' , At severaf places iff New England, Mr. Pierce stig matized, the opponents of that measure as mortal trait ors, lie went so far as to compliment me for my ser vices hi- what he called-a battle fo the Union.

The proclajnafion of Gaicral Jackson, denouncing tl whole 'proceeding as unauthorised, rclxilHoos; and traitorous the force bill passed By Congress witli great promptness, enabling tho President to repel by force all the opposition to the execution of the laws'f And then, gentlemen, do youemember the unanimity witkihich not only the Democratic party applauderf Its' President, but how the great body of the Ameri can people, looking above party, and surveying duty the good of the country, came .forward by thousand and thousands to testify their respect for a statesman who faltered not in the performance of a high consti tutional duty? Mr, Jefferson had said 01 Generaf Jackson, after the victory of New Orleans, that ho. filled the measure of his country's glory.' But the patriotic American people proclaimed, when the old hero carried the constitution unhurt through the struggles with nullification, that hij name would hereafter stand by the side of Washington as the pre server of the Union. Yes, gentlemen, it was here, in New York, that countless thousands came forward to greet the old hero, and New England not less than New York saluted with the acclamation of joy and love the man who, when the safety of the constitution was threatened, declared fearlessly that he wonld not . 1 11 1.11 -'1 1 A Lgurvive its iau, dui wouiu upnom 11, come wuaii might. Now, gentlemen, -this was Democratic practice in 1832. . Let us now see how General Pierce has acted " in a crisis which he has admitted to be full. of similar perils to us and to our posterity. "When the compro mise was passed, you all know that there was a party, called at the North abolitionists; and at the South nullifiers, who insisted that that measure was a base surrender of ' State rights, and who set on foot mea sures which, if carried out, would have produced im mediate bloodshed and civiLwar. This party at tho South bad an organ, whose columns teemed with tho dirtiest abuse, of every man' who would not subscribe to its scheme or holding a csouincru vyongrcss, wun powers not only to declare the compromise unconsti tutional, but to provide for its resistance, precisely as South Carolina had done in 1832. When the great and lamented Webster delivered his speech, on the occasion of laying tbe corner stone? of the new Capitol, the response of this Soathcrn rights Democratic sheet was that it was aain cere monythat the people of the South shoM bo patting their arms in - order, A attack theXorth, instead of, indulging hopes for the preservation of the Union.. Gentlemen, one of the first acM of Mr. Pierce was to give the editor of that diniion sheet an important consular and diplomat Office. And if you examine the character of hisppointments generally, you will find that in eve quarter of the country they have been rnarked7 an Ven contempt for his profession as a friend'Oi the doctrines of the Democratic party. Yes. nWtlemen, I assert without tho fear of successful iTefuiatian from any quarter; that the conduct of Pre- T . - x T J ;r sioem .ncrce is uisuiiguisueu, 11 uisiiDguisnea ior any thing, for insidious opposition to the doctrmo always maintained by the Democratic party on the subject of State rights. Mr. Madison has told us, over and over again, that hi3 party in 1798 repudiated the doctrine of nullification as claimed by South Carolina in 1832, and as insisted on by the Southern Convention osscm- bled at Nashville. ' "You remember the celebrated letter of Mr! Madison in which he thanks Mr.' Webster for his able refuta tion of the absurd idea that a State could enforce her own construction of the constitutionality against tho consent of the other States, and the decisions of the Supreme Court. -The records of Tammany Hall will also bear witness that the party supporting Messrs., Jefferson and Madison during the time of the embar go, and up to the assemblage of tlie Hartford Conven-. tion, maintained everywhere, in Congress and out of Congress, that the General Government possessed tho power of removing any and every obstruction to tho jvwuuu vi vLXi laws jiueacu ui pursuance 01- mo COC- ., . i- 4t -1L 1 1
