TO prevent them from running back" II proceeds
10 discrss the chances OF war with her. Naval
operatons do not seem 10 be regarded with much
favor, although, OF course, we could soon DOM
bard and batter down Vera Cruz" the Jefersonian
inclines to the opinion that we mshl get INTO
trouble with some other nation thereby, lnasaInch
as the trade of that port is chiefly conducted by
foreigners and the most valuable properly mere Is
supposed TO belong TO them. In llue of thae' Tue

IL IS not our purpose to offer any comment upon
