A SECESSION CONFERENCE.
Not in the United States But in Mexico This Time.
St. Louis, Aug. 9.—The Globe-Democrat prints a special dispatch from Monterey, in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, which says that the Governors of five of the Northern States of Mexico have been in secret council there for several days past. The object of the conference has been kept profoundly secret, but a remark made last evening by an intimate friend of Gov. Cuellar, of Nuevo Leon, to the effect that in the event the English debt in its new form was forced on the people it would be advisable for the Eastern and Northern States to secede in a body. It is believed that the council is considering the financial policy of the Central Government, which is strongly opposed by leading and influential men in the Northern States and that the question of secession under certain circumstances has entered into their deliberations.
