With a iruuuei ciiouuiuk uvci i,w uiudd between Mexico and the United States, 'and ,lbe business relations of the two ' countries continually growing more m- ( timat6i our government cannot allow the claim of Mexico to punish American , citizens for offenses committed within the United States. Should it do so it would become unsaie ior Americans wnQ hftd eyer haJ ft difflculty with a Mexican on lne American side of the iine to cross over into old Mexico, as in my case. The matter has been brought . . ur u r.. t ,,rum.ueLi,, ue.ute ue utc oUf . nrinor finia t - r c ti n l f 1 t- artlD it fAr. done on American soil, and simply ex-1 presses herself as satistied that the amount of punishment 1 have already suffered will atone for the effenee. The same principle is asserted here as would have been carried out if I had served twelve months at hard labor in the mines of Mexico and pai.l the $600 fine imposed. The court which arrested, tried and convicted mo has been fully supported by the Mfxiran government. Aa far a." I can see, no conceptions have been made by my liberation. I have been punished enough, therefore I am set iree, Dut ine main issue uetweentne j su'ciumrun n't v-.aitutj& uo rignt lo punisa Americaiio ior uiii-uhoh committed within tho United States, and the other denying that right re mains unaffected by my liberation. However. I have full faith in the deter mination of the government to settle this matter at once and forever, as well as to require of Mexico ample indem nity for the wrong she has done mo. In conclusion I can truly assert from experience during a reMdence of "off and on' in old Mexico for nearly two years that the Mexican heart beats with a cowardly hatred of the American, and not until the Stars and Stripes are borne from the border to the gulf will the lives and property of Americans be safe within the lines of this semi-civilised corner of the Northern country.

I" t d cli. i kV 1 1 I re think it rertects upon us, and not to re mind you of the omission of the resolu tion, as the writer would have us to be lieve. The writer says that the resolu tion was "'aimed at certain delegates who stated that they would not support certain candidates in case they were nominated, and certain delegates who were known to be Republicans, or who uut.aiA!U nauiwu uwuiue. il ww iu- tended to bind certain Democrats who had no fixed political principles above self, and who would bolt if their man was not nominated." We did assert that we would not support certain can didates if they were nominated. And are we who have always voted the Democratic ticket to be called Republi cans simply for asserting our right to vote for who we pleased? Do we advo cate Republican doctrine when we ad vocate voting for principle and not for party? Have we no fixed political principles when wo have never cast a yri uit.lUloo w nou Rpnnhlati rnt'J Tf n urtiiln ran A iAat had received a majority of the votes cast at the primaries, this resolution wonld not have been introduced. Delegates. Answer To 'Delegates.'' Editor Journal: An article signed "Delegates and headed "are we Re publicans" in your issue of the 27th inat. in relation to the "rejected resolu tion" by the late Democratic conven tion of Onslow county deserves a pass ing notice. ''Delegates" admits that this did "assert that we would not sup port certain candidates if they were nominated. " Now allow me to ask what busittees had "Delegates" in a regular Democratic convention unless they intended to abide by the result? If they did not intend to support the nomi nees or "certain candidates" if nomi nated, ought they to have allowed themselves to hay e been elected or ap pointed delegates, and when once they accepted the position, ought not their own sense of propriety to have caused them to support the ticket? "Dele gates ' ' had a right to vote for whom they pleased in the primaries. No one questions their right so to do, but when they came into the convention aa ac credited representatives of their people, I 1 there was a great reeponsiDUity resting . i -n l No one has a fixed political principle wno vote8 according to his likes and dislikes , and Democratic principles rest lightly upon those who vote the Demo- cratic ticket and advocate doctrine re pugnant to the tenets of the party, or those who vote one way and electioneer another, to make it plain. Such ought either to be classed with Senator Ingalls' "political eunuchs" or with that class who old Humphrey Marshall, of Ken tucky, said belonged to no "healthy party. " o one acquainted with the tacts ought to say this resolution would never nave been offered had certain candidates received the majority of votes in the primaries, and in the opinion of many gooo ana true uemocrats, ii was unior tunato that it was voted down. Onslow. Prince Alexander Deposed. Berlin, Aug. 23. M. DeGiers, Rus sian Foreign Minister, who is sojourn ing at Fronzensbad, will, it is stated, almost immediately visit Prince Bis marck and Count Kalnoky , the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs. The opin ion is general here that Germany and Auitria. by mutual agreement, sacri ficed Prince Alexander of Bulgaria in order to preserve an alliance with Rus sia at the expense of England. Public opinion in Germany sympathizes with Prince Alexander in his misfortune. The Post, Prince Bismarck's organ, publishes an article on the Bulgarian crisis, which is characterized by amia bility of expressions towards Russia and unfriendliness to England. Vienna, Aug. 23. The news of the revolution in Bulgaria caused a heavy and rapid fall on the Bourse here. One rumor is that Prince Alexander was im prisoned at Widdin. Another is that he was placed on board a ship whose destination is unknown. M. Q. Onkeoff , who is the prime mover in the revolu tion, and tho nominal head of the gov ernment, allows only favorable news to leave Bulgaria. London, Aug. 33. The deposition of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria has astounded the politicians and financiers of England. Consols today have fallen three-eights; Egyptian securities are down one per cent., and Turkish and Russian from one to two each. Other stocks were also flat early in the day. but the market is now recovering. Government Employes at Elections. United States Marshal Gross, of Louisiana, Ky., having asked the De partment of Justice if he would be al lowed, under the President's order, to vote at a primary election for a con gressional candidate, Soliticitor-Oeneral Jenks replied as follows: "The circular referred to in yours of the 14th instant is sufficiently clear to be its own inter preter.
