and the brutality and vlllany Of the Mcxcsu en n
made one of the most miserable places for tho resi-
dence of Christian that be found upon the fac
of the earth.
For wears and years-in fact, ALMOST ever since !
was settled by Europeans-the career of its conquer
ors and those descended from them, (cang them
selves par ercenee Mexicans, in contra dlstnctlsr
to the natives) has been brutal, bloody and remerse
less. And indeed constituted as the Mexcans are
by blood and birth, we scarcely see how il can b.
otherwise. They are mixture of the Indian, negro
and S2anard, but the negro blood UNNECESSARILY
predomlnates.
They have all the vile qualities Of the European
Spaniard-all his treachery cunning want of honor
aud honesty, blood thrstRess. and revenerful dspo-
son, without any of the redeemng qualities which
characterize the true descendant of the old Castian.
And added to these trails they have the undnng and
everlasting love of rcvenge and hatred possessed b.
the Indians, conjoned with every vice that is to be
| found in the negro character.
| How them we ask, can the conduct Of the Mexl-
cans be any o,her than il has been for years and
years past and how, let US ask, has it been for a
long series of years? We defy the historian to find
in the united records Of any countries Tor the same
period like number Of Instances Of murder robbery,
rapine, and cruelty which innocent aliens have suf-
fered at the hano Of these pests Of civilized society.
Their ourages have been confined TO partic-
ular country to the citizens of no one particular
nation. The white citizens OF all nations have been
robbed and murdered and their wives and daughters
violated without remorse, almost time out OF mind
Ii was, therefore, with immense satisfaction that we
saw one nation upon the face Of the earth beard this
lnfamoos naten to their teeth, and compel them
t. toe the mark.
The injuries and wrongs and crueltles and murders,
committed on Americans, Eng lshmen and French
men, demanded, years ago, reeress-instant redress
severe Ietribution. But the English had some an
derha nded motive Cor net seeking redress-our own
corrupt government had too many political manoes-
vres on hand TO attend to the base wrongs done ts
their cilizens in foreign land! and it was reserved
for la belle France, our old ally-the country Of La
Fayete TO demand redress for the outrages done to
| her countrynen.
Not being. able to obtain it in any other way, they
sent small fleet and bockaded every American
port According TO the laws of nations, this was in
good keeping and as such was acknowledged by The
British and American governments, and by every
good and honest English and American citizen.
Blu, few designing rascals calling themselves
Yankees--old federal blue light descendants
varab nds-scum of the earth-a disgrace 10 any
land-who look net of the earth and yet unfortu-
nately are on it-have schemed and maneuvred and
openly and basey preferred interest to liberty and
have endeavored to evade the glorious blockade and
have actually supplied the black hearted, blackfaced,
negro Mexicans with provisions because they could
make a few dollars and cents thereby.
And amongst the most notorious OF these aboll-
ton down east blue light sackguards one John Clark,
Delighted and deteses be the scoundrels name for
every the master Of the schooner Lone, by his low
and raseay cunning evaded the blockade, run his
vessel into Matamoras, and supplied the negroes of
Mexico with provisions.
, On his return out iron, Me,amoras with SIS 600,
the i'll gotten gains for his baseness, he captured
by the brig Laurier (Laure) lawful prize. The
base rascal John Cha Ike, begged, like craven, to
| be allowed to remain on beard his schooner, the
Lone, until he reached Vera Cruz, where the French
Admiral was TO decide whether he a lawful prize.
He gave his word of honor (such scoundrels have
no honor TO pledge) that he would remain PASSIVE
until the French Admiral decided his fate.
But on the night of July Sd and 4h, he and his men
basey forfeited their parole, shut the French officer
up in the cabin whilst he was asleep and helpless,
played the part of pfering pirates and took the
eel to New Orleans. Here one of the corrupt admi-
nisrauon, called Breedlove, sanctioned the fellow
conduct and allowed hun TO retain possession of the
Lone.
Such are the simple facts, and tomorrow shall
| treat upon them. But if honor mean any thing-i
| honesty be any thing more than name-if the laws
of nations are be respected, this fellow ought to
be strung up solitary and alo'e," to the yard arm
Of the Lone, "a a warning to all scoundrels, whs
reckless Of truth, of manhood, and their word Of
honor prefer their vile breaches pockets to I'll,
