WAR OF MEXICO AGAINST THE UNITED
STATES

The fact, us officially announced, has at length
reached u.s. that the government Of Mexico makes
war upon the United States. This appears from
the manifesto of Paroles, dated from the National
Palace of Mexico, April %, 1896" and purPorung
to be addressed to the nation. Spanish copy OF
this proclamation was received IN this city yes.er-
day morning, by the last arrival from Havana,
but we obtained its translation at too late an hour
tonight TO be able TO insert it in this number Of
the "Union." 1t will appear tomorrow evening.
Paroles makes a long parade about our annexation
Of Texas, and our invasion Of the territory which
Mexico claims as her own; and declares that "out-
RACES so multiplied, and so hard, could not any
longer be tolerated, and have given orders TO the
generain -chiefof the division frontier Of the
north that he wage hostltes" (in other words,
attack against the army which ia waging them
against US; that he give war for answer to the
enemy who IS making war upon US; and that, in
vokng the God Of battles he vindicate the vaor of
our soldiers, the unquestionable right to terri
tory, and the honor Of arms which are to be welded
only in defence of Justice" And, after making
other assertions he adds: From this day begins
defensive tDdr, and every point Of territory in
vaded or attacked shall be valiantly defended"
And now we see with what propriety the oppo-
nents Of the recent act of Congress object to the
language of its preamble, and how consistent it is
be false, as the preamble states it, that exists
with Mexico, and that this war had been begun by
Mexico.

The President continues to receive numerous of
fers Of service from volunteers. We shall notice
some of them tomorrow. The newspapers are also
teeming with similar notices. Pennsylvania is hold.
ing many meetings for the purpose. The procla-
nation Of her governor IS in the finest spirit. The
"Charleston Patriot" of Friday has the following
account Of meeting in that city:
"TExAs MEETMG.-One of the largest and most
respectable meetings held for long time attended at
the City Hall this morning, owing to the appear
snce of a handful calling upon the people to aid
their brethren in Texas. The meeting duly or
sanized by calling Col James Gadsden to the chair,
and the appointment of DR.. A. g. Mackey secre-
ary. The chairman, in brief but patriotic speech,
explained the necessity of our preparing to lend a
helping hand in the conflict now wagng, and Of i'm
tating the example of Cardinals sons in days Of
yore when their country invaded. Resolutions
were passed appointing committee Of twenty -one
to deliberate on the most appropriate mode of rails
ing volunteers for the relief Of the army in Texas,
consisting of the division, brigade, and regmental
officers; which was appointed by the chair to re-
port The meeting, after being addressed by R.
W. Seymour and w. c. Terrell, esqrs adjourned

Extract from letter recsirsd in this city to-day
"The people of Yucatan it appears now, are in
earnest in throwing off the yoke of the central
government, and determined to invoke the aid of
the United States to effect this. The bearer of the
demand from Gen. Paroles, Il am advised,) upon
the Yucatan government for its quota Of troops to
operate against us, was Indignantly ordered to
leave Merida Immediately, for that the only troops
that Yucatan would furnish, would be to operate
against Mexican tyranny"

THE CHALICE COMMENDED TO HIS OWN LIPS
Did any body ever doubt that the New York
Courier and Enquirer a meek, gentle, peaceable,
prudent, candid, truth-loving iournal Did any
body ever hear suspicion cast upon its perfect pu-
rity? Has not its good name in that respect been
established impregnably, ever since its "business
transaction with the Bank Of the United States some
years ago was proved to be so "fair'" Did any
body ever hear that the wing party of New York
or Of the country, groans un der Its weight of a
milestone hung around the party neck' Did any
body doub, the good taste, the propriety, and
above ALL the prudence of its revelations of
certain especial mission" to Washington to force
upon the Executive the acceptance of arbitration
Did any body detect word of buster and fury
in its language Did any body ever suppose
its character to be happy compound of the Boba-
dill and Pistol of the dramatist' When some UNI
sayory alternative has perchance been presented to
it, did it ever initiate the resignation of Shakespeare
braggart, eating his distaseu leek under the cudge
of Fluellen, and exclaim, al eat and exc swear p
Is it not journal abundantly and scrupuIously
Independent of all improper influence or motive as
justly to set itself up for a morum ? Cato
may surely criticize and condemn, while virtue less
robust and stalwart should be silent. And more
than this did any body ever detect flaw in the
Courier's logic' Holding it does 80 enviabe O
position morally and politically, have mot its
intellectual skill and force became proverb' When
we recently published some OF the leading facts
showing the duty of our government to protect
Texas up to the Del Norte, did not the Courier
with beautiful frankness of ignorance which none
but journal ntrenched in the confidence of the
country could have ventured, proclaim that If the
facts ,uers so, would hereafter hold its tongue from
any further reviling Of the Executive for its course
in regard to Mexico' Are there any Oar t,oor
Citations of recent date in the Courier, which
throw any light on its notion of duty to patriotic
soldiers suffering in their oountry's defence5
Those who will bear all these things in mind
must sympathize with our feelings now, when we
find ourselves charged by the Courier with false
hood and malignant partisan injustice for daring to
print the following violent and savage words; "But
let us be just. We cannot believe that the uohOls
,ohie party in Congress, much less in the country,
will follow its attempted party lead, Such course
to that party--to any party-is sure and swift per-
dition," &c.
But worse even than this: what must be our emo
tons when this most scrupulous and upright jour
nal-the very Cato Of the press-snd the seltstyled
Times Of America to boot--cslls US "the collared
serf Of the Executive" How could the Courier be
so unfeelingl Does il not know something Of the
miseries Of "collsr'n Or does it suppose thai the
collar Of the Executive is less calling than the col
lar Of corrupt banking institution Could not the

"The Astronomer" will be at Washington on
Monday. The following bulletin is the auant cou-
rier Of his approach. Those who wish to consult
the stars for their destiny, that of their coun-
try, may take heed. A silver key unocks the mys-
teries Of the Fates:
OFF GO TO WAR, WILL BE SHOT"
General obserration
The astrologer' to the above depends on the
aspects Of the heavenly bodies at the birth of an ndi
vidua For instance, if born under the sun and that
planet in conjunction with Mars, unassised by fortu-
nate stars, the native born would die on the bat
tie field or the seas, as the case may be. Per-
sons born with the moon in con JUNCTION with Mars,
should avoid the frontiers; but those born when the
uminaries were in good aspect with Jupiter, Venus,
Saturn and Mars, may venture in the stormiest
part of the battle with safety, like Napolen when
he crossed the bridge Of Lodi. Winfield Scott will
never die on the battlefield; nor would Commodore
Stuart on the rolling seas; neither would r. M.
Johnson, should he venture once more. George
Cad wallader may venture out freely; so Gen. Pat
terson, as well as Col James Page. Such persons
as have an anxious desire to avenge their country =
honor may write the astrologer, at Washington, af-
ter Monday, May lS, and they will be correctly in
struced as to the strength and dignity Of Mars at
their birth or nativity. In all dollar en-
closed, and postage paid, will receive immediate an
swer. THOMAS HAGUE, Astrologer.
A few days ago we spoke of "party spirit" as
''hissing with forked tongue in oar high places"
The comparison is not good enough for the dstin-
guished literary fraternity of the Richmond Daily
Republican. Well, no matter. The Kissing of the
serpent we sometimes have occasion to allude to- but
we never notice the Kissing of the goose. The Re-
publican is quite safe from our SMILES.
