The following extract from the Cuu.
fier's correspondence shows political sa.
naciiy and sound sense We cannot con.
Dent TO mar It by abbroyation:
N The country is eternally agialed with
Nihe futile questions Of Federalism and
CentraIi'm, the true germs Of discord
Nhch will precipla,e her ruin. Tney
bount much Oh the new system, as If i'll
could pofduce anything more than the.
Triumph OF new mediocrlies. The men of.
local eminence call for this reform, as i'll
will place them IN the high places of the
eeveral States. But they see not that from
that day the national unity is broken,
snnd the dismembermenl Of the Republic
becomes inevitable.
a 1t requires no great political perspicu.
sity TO perceive, in the dssensions which
agtate Mexico the signs of approach ing
dissolution. As regards the interests of
civilization we ought 10 rejoice, as the
vast and fertile plains Of that country
must pass into your possession. CiyIIiza.
tion is to be extended by the American
people over the immense territory of the
United States and Mexico united. We
follow you with our hopes and prayers in
This gigantic scheme, which has no paral.
lei in either ancient or modern times.
A fertile but desert territory, capable
Of feeding one hundred millions of men
peopled by seven millions, is at your door.
A race, hostile 10 labor and to Improve.
ment, wishes 10 occupy it TO the exclu-
sion of all others. Each day by its laws
and its revolutions, it insults older nations
and outrages civilization. Ii refuses to
the exuberant population of Europe land ,
on which it may live peaceabIe and labo-
rous Surely it is not in the design Of I
Providence that so selfish a race should +,
hold this vas: territory, so fertile, and OF =
which the slightest production would 2
suffice for the whole popuIa ton, when, on 2
the old continent, there are millions Of
families who claim only work and bread.
May this territory pass into the hands OF
q more hospitable and intelligent people
May it form part of our happy Union! T

We have now the reply Of Gen. Morales n
70 this circular, dated Guanajuato, Sept. +
10th 1t shows that these two generals
ire acting in perfect accord, and if one

hey appear determined only to use their =
'rmed forces to secure the peace and
tranquility of the country. They show
themselves determined to maintain the 1
organic Bases, and then to pursue peace "
