MEXICO.

(Front the Anglo-American Times.)
The accounts of Mexican anarchy are so dePle_f•
able teat the attention of the United States is arle
much directed to that country. After a long
perieuce few thoughtful Americans anticipatel sop
other result to follow the overthrow of the EuVira
and the useless and impolitic execution of MASI.
MILIAN. Yesterday, as the anniversary of that event'
mass was celebrated iu Paris and in many European
capitals for the repose of the soul of the bralf
and chivalric Austrian Prince ; but ere the firs"
year completes its round revolution is ran!:
pant in every extremity of the Republic, plots 31°
discovered in the very palace of the PRESIDE:4I:i
trade is annihilated, communication paralysed, and
no man in Mexico can sow with any prospect e
reaping the harvest, or at any rate of enjoying the
fruits of his toil ; indeed, the mass of Mexicans are
'too lazy to give even the work necessary to gather
up the results of the industry of others. gather
universal panacea for the evils of misgovernmen"
are supposed by many good Republicans to lie in
Republican institutions ; and this is true, if there
be but virtue in the people. It is vain to 00
good laws if they are never enforced ; and it is wore
than vain to place power in the hands of raas3f'
if these masses be composed of idle, lying, de:
bauched thieves. It does not follow Waage°
a man is a man that therefore he should be
ruler ; for, granting his natural right, there are
none so infatuated as to maintain that he cantt
forfeit that right by crime. If nations prove, u/
a long course of disastrous history, their incaP,.3;
city for self-rule, they become criminals in W.
family of peoples, as individuals do by crime ins
society. Few doubt the right of the United Stat%
to put its foot down on Mexico, and enforce
least Some semblance of law and order, for a
tion has no more right to breed misery, disorder::
and insurrection on a frontier than a neighbour hvP
to accumulate filth next door and breed a pestilence;
That the armed interference of the United State;
would be a blessing to Mexico is generally concede'?
but what would be the effect on the United State'
There are higher considerations for Americans tbnoa
even the attainment of the " manifest destinYt..
that is, one sway from the Isthmus up to the FroV:
Seas. The only object of such a rule is to Secniio
the best and the cheapest Government to a whoa
continent ; but it does not follow that because I
introduce good institutions, that therefore you re:
generate the people. You cannot reproduce the Brit.ir.
Government in India, nor, indeed, even in Irelanni;
and the United States will work in vain to establ.s,
any better government in Mexico than the crasll:
despotism of military power. But what would t
exercise of such a force do for the Union ? t
would annihilate all the principles of free governyaePa
upon which it works. If Mexico was annexe& a_ina
a military despotism established, the States vicSale
cease to rule, at least in a portion of their territaJrit
by representative institutions, and would in Pa d
become a conquering Power. If they introduce
their own institutions, adding Mexico as so Ina°
States to the Union, they would bring into CI;
gress a vile foreign element, which would ren43
most injuriously on themselves; and leaving
local government to the Mexicans,the disorders wince_
now disgrace the mongrel Republic would confirm;
and disgrace the model Republic. The fact is tbil
the United States cannot, for these reasons, at pre'
sent interfere in their neighbours' affairs, for 13?;
doing so, though the world would be benefited, it
would be at their loss and perplexity. Mexico 1,5

the United States must eventually solve ; but it S
take brains and time to work out the riddle. MAR QlO
has publicly denied that he betrayed MAxraftLl•l
No doubt he feels acutely the estimation in Which
his deed is held, and he began at once to realizaa
the traitor's doom ; but scarcely less quick has beeci
the punishment of JUAREZ. Despised and abhare4
by all foreign nations, with every province of bi
country in insurrection, with an empty Treasalle'
with clamorous and unsatisfied creditors, with tilt
fate he meted out to his prisoner ever hanging tilfetig
his own head, he leads an uneasy life, and letio
too late the lesson that even bad there been a g:130
instead of loss in MAXIMILIAN'S execution, be
whole prize was not worth the perpetration Of ."0,
pettiest crime, much less a senseless execatlvoi
which proved as great a want of generosity as
judgment. The world looks for nothing
Mexico, and will continue to regard it as the rich v- fl,
country inhabited by the worst specimens of 113,,1
kind, with one chance only of redemption, and t'of
is in its being occupied and held by the Army
the United States.

The Hon. John Jay, as Special Commissionerof
New York, has reported on the Antietam Burial-groelli,
and he shows that the remains of the Confederate SI,
diers who there fell are in a condition discreditable to
nation. His words will have more effect, as he is the of
sident of the Union League, an institution which et 'few;
no one can accuse of disloyalty, nor is the record of 10
Jay one that any Republican, however extreme irj"
in
views, can find fault with. He recommends interrue°:rt;
the same enclosure as the Union dead, in a spot set eP too
and as no appropriation has been made at Washing
for the purpose, he considers New York should bear,
share of the expense. "Itis a fact not pleasant to re',6or
but which, nevertheless, has a significance not to be
looked in this connection, that the remains of the °oil
federal e dead on the battle field of Antietam, for whoseetit?
benefit, as your Excellency has distinctly shown fro ,ni lia
act of Maryland, this cemetery was established, 134”hal'
buried on the battle-field, occasionally at a depth 904,

stated that a skull was recently brought to him whle"

The Senate has ordered 10,000 copies of
Browne's last Report of the Mineral Regions of the
States to be printed for distribution.
