is it likely that paity spirit would have much more to do with the election than it has under the existing fjsteni. I am inclined lo think a good m.-ny men voted for a Convention and are now urging it on for the purpose of affording themselves an opportunity to figure, in the first place, for a seat in the Convention ; and, secondly, to make a display in the Convention itself. If the Legislature shall authorize the election of Delegates, I expect to see an array of aspirants such as our young and interesting" State, as Governor Ray used to

say, has not often been blessed with. The

amendments proposed w ill he as vat ions as the colors of the ka!eiderope, and a numerous as can well be imagined. Some will deire l iennia! sessions, some triennial, and some annual, some will desire to abolish and some lo reUin the Associate Judges; tome will want one system of

which I have heard more said than about

any other is a restriction upon the LegU

grateful. Our lives have teen preserved, the season hag been one of extraordinary fruitfulness, our liberties and privileges as a free and independent nation are still

continued, and a good degree of temporal piospetiiy isvouchsafed to us. Our religious privileges also, in all their variety and extent, are also continued to us and enjoyed as they are not by any other nation on the globe. So that on the whole, notwithstanding the general sickness of the season, notwithstanding the expensive and as many think unnecessary war in which we are now engaged, and notwithstanding the chilling and withering measures of the National Administration, we have enough to call out all our hearts in

thanksgiving and praise lo the merciful and benignant disposes of human events. The Supreme Court is still progressing with its arduous labors, and I understand that about six opinions are delivered each day. My engagements have been such that I have not been at the Court House since you left. An abstract of the decisions is regularly published in the Journal and Sentinel, to which I refer you for information on that subject. A great deal

has been said and done, as you well know,

in reference to filling the Supreme Bench, and I am not now going to say much about

it. In regard lo Mr. Peikins, I believe, it would be but justice to say that he is fully equal, if not beyond the public expectations in regard to him : but it would be no easy task for any jurist in the State to fill the place of Judge Sullivan, who, to eminent legal knowledge, sound learning, and

industrious habits, added almost unexam

pled purity of moral character. I think I have rarely known so pure and good a

man as Jeremiah Sullivan. The Supreme Bench, as it w as two years ago, was confessedly creditable to our Slate. I hope that qualified and honest men may still be placed there. The subject of a Slate Conveniion begins to be somewhat discussed in the political circles. Many seem lo think that the Legislature will not feel authorized by the vote of last August lo call a Conveniion. There w ere, if I recollect aright, thirty-two or thirty-three thousand votes given for, and twenty-seven thousand

against it. The vote for Governor exceeded one hundred and twenty thousand. A full vote of the State w ould overgo one liHndred and forty thousand. Now it j contended by many thai the thirty odd thousand votes in favor of a Convention, which is but little more than one-fourth of the votes given for Governor, nnd not much more than one-fifth of the vote of the whole State, is the small a basis for so important an operation as re-modelling, in the present agitated slate of the public mind, our fundamental law. On ihe oilier hand, it will, no doubt, be argued that the question w as faiily submitted to the people and notices given by the sheriffs that a poll w ould be opened for that purpos; thai all had a righl to vole; thai a majority of

the voles actually given on that question w ere in favor of lhe Convention; and that ihose who, having the opportunity of voting, did nol do it, are necessarily bound

by all usage and propriety to submit to the decision of ihe majority w ho did voie. I ought lo have mentioned also that many think the Legislature had no right to pass the law authorizing ihe people lo vote

upon the question at any other time than "every twelfth year," according to the provisions of lhe Constitution, i merely state these arguments jro and con briefly, without determining which is lhe better reason. As an individual, I have been opposed to a Convention, and voted against it. I have thought we might beuer '-endure the evils we have, than fiy to those

we know nol of;" but still I have but liule patience with ihose whotalk loud and long now against the calling of the Convention, but who, when they could have aided in ihe prevention of it, neglected or refused to vote. I have had no little exnerience

in politics, and I have met w ith nothing that has so severely taxed my patience as

to see a man making a noise about the result of an eleciion which he made no effort, at the proper time, to prevent. Such men are apt la be very clamorous after complaint is totally unavailing, when silence, if not remorse, would much better become ihem. It is the reneral ooinion I

probable no money could be obtained at

lhe present upon the faiih of the State. But my sheet is full and I must stop.

Later from Hcntcry. Intelligence from the army lo the 2J instant, has been received at New Orleans per steamer Massachusetts, from Brazos

Santiago on the 12ih. We cony from the

Picayune of the 17:h. Capt. Laroatte.of the 1st Infantry, came over on her. He was severely w ounded al Montery, but we are happy to find him in the finest spirits, and he is doing well. Mr. Kennedy, attached to lhe Kentucky mounted regiment, also came over oo the Mississippi. C.ipi. Lamotte left Montery on the 31 instant, and our private ud vices came down to the 21. The gallant Major Lear, of the 3d Infuntrj, has died of his wounds. He was buried on the 1st instant. Gen. Woo! had communicated with Gen. Taylor on two occasoins. It would appear that the foimer had detached 1000 men from his command to take possession

of M onclava; and with the other 2000, pro

ceeded on his march to Chihuahua. It

seemed to be regretted that Gen. Taylor, from motives perhaps of delicacy, refrained from interfering in any way w ith Gen. Wool's plan. It is conceded that the latter' troops can be more serviceable South of Chihuahua, w hich does not require so large a force for its subjection. We have no knowledge of Gen. Taylor's

plans but may state that the prevailing impression among the officers is lhat Tampico is to be the nexl point. The Kentucky Cavalry, still near the mouth of the San Juan, were expecting daily to leceive orders lo march in that direction. The Tennessee Cavalry arrived at Foil Brown about the 9th instant, and were also expec

ted to leave immediately for Tampico.

Common report still assigns Gen. Patterson to this command. From Montery we learn from an au

thentic source, that nothing of a public

interest had transpired since our last dates. There was a rumor on the 2d inst, among the Mexicans, lhat one half the army at San Louis Potosi had declared in favor of Sinta Anna as Supreme Dictator, that Ihe other half had JWlared against him, and lhat both divisions had started for the City of Mexico. A postciipt to the same letter says in brief that Santa Anna is off for Mexico and Gen. Valencia after him. The existence of such reporte as to Santa Anna's designs at so many different points would indicate lhat

Alvaradohas received the compliments of a t-iiv charter, in token of ihe defence

made when attacked by Com. Conner.

From the American Flag, Xut.lth. From Mon'erey. We have advices frcia this post as late as the 2Cih ult. T the politeness of a friend we are indebted fur a few items of news. The health of the troops is said to be rather bad at this time lhe principal complaints being the diarrhoj and chills and fever. It is supposed that the fruit, so readily obtained there increases the sickness. A gentleman recently returned from Monterey, who has hsd a good opportunity of forming a correct opinion of the falure movements of General Taylor, ex-

prt:;-es i. as ins ue.iei mat,auer garrisoning Sallillo,, the main body of the army wil'. take up the line of march for Tampico, where it will be reinlorced prcpatory to making a descent upon San Luis Potosi, which it is generally supposed will be the next battle scene. It teems to be an ascertained fact ia Gen. Taylor's camp, (Mexican rumors in this cily to the conirary.notvvhhstandirig) that Saltillo it not to be defended; the w hole Mexican force being concentrated at San Luis Poto?i, which place is beinjj fortified in the strongest possible manner. Gen. Wool had reported himself to GenTaylor at Monterey, the remainder moving on to Chihuahua; the whole fj.ee being deemed unnecessary for this service. It is also staled to us lhat Victoria an 1 all the principal tow ns in Tamulipas are to be immediiiely garrisoned, and we woulj speculate lhat it is wnh the ultimate object of placing all the country on the cist

or north east side of lhe Sierra Madre. u:;der the Governmcut and law s of ihe U. States, to be held as a portion ofhertrtrttory and as indemnincation of the war. The state of feeling on this subject cannot be misunderstood. Every day it be henceforth to be the dividing line between Mexico and ihe United Slates. It can no Linger be viewed as a vagu-3 supposition such we believe to be the fixed intention uf lhe American Government in no other way can she be idetxinified for the war.

Monterey, Oct. 23. 1SH. Poor Ridgely is dead. lie is deal. He was buried yesterday, and is r.i'.urued by lhe entire Army. Major Lear will nol live twenty-four hours Linger. We lave late news from San Luis P to lhe effect lhat Santa Anna w as there i:!i 12, 000 men and no less thrui thirty syvi-n Generals! He was recruiting d.u'.v, tut his intentions were not knoun. his rumored that Buslamenle has gone ;ior;h i i

Gen. Scoti was to leave in lie mail boat this mornning, and has probably gone. His destination is Tampico. but w iih large additional powers to control his actions when upon thegrouud. Fiom both the Navy and War Departments, I learn lhat every pret atatton is making for an attack upon Tampico. The force commanded by Major General

Patterson will nnrch from Matamoras ' believe, that if there be a Convention, the down by ihe coast through Tjmau'ira. 'elective privilege will le still further ex -

to reach .Montery on Ihe 12ti. Col. McKee's regimerl (the 2d) of Kentucky Infantry, had leftCamargo for M;mtery, tie last three companies setting out onihe4th inst. The ;hio tegiment cf infantry was preparing to follow. The dates from the capital are to the 27th ult. The Slate of San Louis Potosi has pronounced against Gen. Salas. w ho

iinea ine executive chai r, in consequence of the attempts to raise the forced loan,

ana that btate being desirous lhat Santa Anna himself, or someone appointed by him, should fill iheofice. Several attempts

having been made to asasinste Salas, he fled from the Capitol on the 25;h, and sought refuge in Tucubaya, the place where Santa Anna resides w hen al the seal of government. Senor Pacheco. the Minister of Foreign Affiirs, and Rejon, the Mii.i.ter o; Justice, had both resigned, andSenors Jose Maria Lafragtia was appointed in the place ofPi.checo, and Don F.szuin Ladron de Guevcra in the place of Rejon.

Santa Aana in a letter, dated at San Louis Potosi on the 23J, addressed to ihe Executive governmenl, disapproves of Salas leaving lhe capital, and in consequence of this, the lattei returned on the 29:h. Ampndia arrived al Sin Louis Potosi on th 21 si, and on lie 23 J lhe first brigade of his division arrived from Monterey. The urnvvst enthusiasm, it is repre
