INTERESTING FROM Communications
Squares, of the pilot schooner Argus, arrived
hero last night from Campeachy, reports that on
the 9TH inst. Mexican man OF. war schooner
arrived at that port with a requisition on the
Government Of iucatan for troops, and that the
lucatanoes returned for answer, that if the
MexIcans went to war with the United States,
they must fight their own battles, for they, the
lnca'anoes, would not furnish any men.--Nev
Orleans Topic, 19h.
The New Orleans Bulletin thus remarks
upon the refusal of Yucatan, to JON in the war
which Mexico proposes to declare against the
United States.
The refusal by the authorities of Yucatan to
join the Mexican Government in war against
the United States, is an important fact. that
cannot fail to exercise a political influence on
current events. 1t shows at least the feeling Of
hostility, which is so clamorous against this
country at the capital, and docs not extend to
the remote Departments. The province of Yu.
catan has ever been distinguished for its liberal
notions. 1t fought against Santa Anna, and re.
sisted the establishment of Centralism success.
fully. And for some time past, it's position has
been one of almost entire independence of the
General Government. The event is no doubt
within the recollection Of our readers. that dur
ing the revolution which broke out there sever
~ years ago, 1ucatan formed an alliance with
Texas, and co-opera.ed with the Texian fleet
under Commodore Moore, in waging war upon
Mexico. The population, we are told, are su.
perior az G. eat mass to the rest Of the Mexi-
cans The proportion Of whites, of the Europe.
an Spanish blood, amnng them, is greater, and
education is more extensively diffused. The
people OF that province have shown decided
capablllty for self government, but their remote.
ness has prevented the exercise of an influence
that if exerled, might yet redeem Mexico.
Considering the character and the position of
iucatan, it is not at all surprising that the pub
nc authorities have refused their sanction to
noSt'i'tles against the United States. We
should rather expect them TO favor than to CD.

Mexico. They ale conscious of the total i'm

These thoughts, and they are really worthy
OF reflection, are uttered by the editor of the
United States Journal, one of the organs OF the
administration, and it strikes us that the hints
IN the quotation are not without value. War,
we have ever said. is one of the greatest calam-
tiles that can befal nation, and in republic
like ours whose prosperity is dependent on bust.
ness, and whose existence is due to public vir-
tue. war is an evil of incalculable extent.
The Journal hints that the Sempronii of the
day have in view some fat contracts. They
wish to furnish some of the munitions de
oouche," or other requisites. upon which i'm.
mense profits are to be realized, and SO they
would willingly involve the whole nation in diff
hcuItIes. These men are the canker of long
peace--a peace that has been so poorly cultiva.
ted that the weeds of war spirit have all along
been allowed to grow up with it, and often to
oVershadow 1t; and it becomes true Americans
TO look to these dele,erious influences. We
are not of those who are afraid of war. because
a few lives are to be lost ; these lives, and the
lives OF every citizen of republic, are always
in pledge for the safety of the nation. But war
should not be promoted for mean purposes, new.
er for conquest. Those who would oppose a
war on such grounds, would be prompt 10 sus-
