who, false 10 the noble impulses which
grow with tho growth and strengthen with
the strength ofevery true American, look
with jaundiced and alien eve upon every
step which is taken, TO resent the arrogance
and resist the threatened encroachments of
Mexico. The present state Ct things is one
well calculated to arouse feelings ofpatrot.
