The City of Piiobia is fast getting td bo quile a lively place ngain ; it begin* lo look old-fnslii»iiod, thnt is, as it look¬ ed bofore the army loft ; now faces are daily to be scon, and places that were almost deserted a fe.v .cooks ago, has no.v become resorts for the bottCr class¬ es of the citizens—-where then iiij ohe; wheiher Americnn or Mexican, dared tb go. except the Humorous Moxicnn sol¬ diery, Inrgely intermixed with guriller- as and bad men of ull descriptions, you can now see smiling and apparently con- leiilcd fncos ; ihb business man, who' had closed his shop, lor fear of being robbed by his oivii eouhlrymon, coines out in the evening, after tlio fntigubs of the day's labdr, 10 take his evening driVe, ride or walk, ns bost suits his con¬ venience, without the fear of finding, .in' bis return, his doors broken open, his house emptied, nnd himsolf reduced lo the necessity of commencing life unci/; On an evening-ride nround thb beautiful passeo, you obserVe thb coHlfdrtatili fcar- riagos of the triorc optilbut, dash along; as they carry thoir iniiiali:s to enjoy the evening breeze among the fragrance of the half-noglectod und therefore gro¬ tesque shrubbery, under tbe boantiful blue of a tropic sky ; and although the number of visiters at this much fre¬ quented place is not as liirge iis h for¬ merly .vas, yet there lire enbhgh t ; j;ive life and animation to the sceiio. Tho la¬ dies, too—and there are many of theni in this plnce who are truly beautiful— turn out as they were wont lo doj nnd "arc seon in their daily Walks atid rides^ flourishing their fans in the graceful Style peculiar lo the Castilian ; in short, the .vhole biiarilig of thtj inhabitants of this city, whether n majority of them' nre hostile to the Americans or not, ap- peiir tb feel a degree of safely under American protection, which was un¬ known to them, while those that were ready " to cause the rights of this na¬ tion to be rospecteil," remained among them; delighted ttfith ihemsjjves, terri¬ fying others nnd driving a great num¬ ber of those, who love order and fr.'in- quility, from their comfortable homes."
[I3?"IIon. John Reed, Lieutenant Gov¬ ernor of Massachusetts, in communica¬ ting his acceptance of the W'liig nomi¬ nation, observes :
" Southern men nnd Northern men who would acquire more Slave territo¬ ry, may be assured that allhough mod¬ eration nnd f'jrbearance (with few cx- teptiotis) have marked the courseof the friends of pence, nnd those opposed to the further extension of Slave territory, that a deep feeling pervades the mit.dii of the people, and that it is their fi-ACii purpose thnt there shnll be no farlher extension of Slave territory. 'This pur¬ pose comes from a higher source Ihan the Wilmot Proviso. It comes sp. .itr- neously from the honest hearts of mil¬ lions of Freemen, and their seconii so¬ ber thoughts say Amen."
