and asserts the obgation oil the government 70 pay
them out of its own pocket" Yet, but few weeks
since, an article appeared in this very paper, in
which the question was put Who, until recently,
heard of claims upon Mexicol We congratulate
the Intellgencer upon the reception Of new light up
on this subject. Upon one point we are now agreed.
There claims Of our suffering citizens" and the
"poor claimants" ought to be paid.
Then comes the question, By whom ought they
to be paid Mexico was the perpetrator of the
wrongs--that very Mexico, whose honor and good
faith in scrupulously adherng to all The obligations
imposed on her by the laws of Nations voluntari-
ly assumed by her solemn treaties, have been the
theme of such repeated and lofty eulogiums in the
columns of the lntelgencer. Mexico is bound to
repair these wrongs. 1t is incumbent on her to
compensate the "poor claimants" This obligation
she has recognised, and agein aud again promised to
fulfil These promises were made and broken
years before Texas became the subject of contro-
versy between the two governments. These are in
conference.-the facts The United States have, in
every possible form and manner, called upon Mex
leo to redeem her pledges and her plightcd faith
This duty has, nevertheless, been omitted-these
promises continually violated.
| Does the obligation continue--or is she dispensed
from its performance Would the intervention
even OF war between the two nations amount
to such dispensationi We address these questions
to the learned editors Of the Intelligencer equally
and profoundly versed in all the re6nements of mo-
raj casuistry and Of public law. Does England, OF
France, or the United States, recognise the doctrine
that public war cancels the debts which the nation
owes to the subjects Of hostile state' Does such
war involve the forfeiture of public funds or Sc
curi,esi II not, Mexico is still as firmly bound as
