WASHINGTON, Thursday Evening May 2ist, 1886.
find many of our ablest and staunchest men here
disposed-or rather compelled-to take gloomy
view Of the present aspects Of our Foreign Relations
They say that this Mexican War could not have
been brought upon Us without deliberate purpose
on the part Of the Executive to have War at all
hazards, and they are confident that this Mexican
brush Is intended bat as cover for the needful pre-
parations for War with Great Britain, including
the preparation Of the hearts of the People, early
proclaimed essential by Gen. Cass. The wolf must
have taste of blood to the ferocity and lust
We deem his nature The Country must be Jared
away from Its devotion 10 the pursuits Of peaceful
Industry and made 10 despise the sordid career Of
improvement in the Useful Arts-it must be taught
10 find i;s intellectual nliment in bulletins of saugh
ter and co1fagration rather than in Industrial Elk
hibitions ahd rivaries, before it be expected 10
turu out One Hundred Thousand Men and borrow
One Hundred Millions of Dollars for the invasion Or
Canada. 1t is believed, therefore that the Execu
tive win repel all offers Of Mediation for the settle
ment OF our troubles with Mexico-in fact, that he
has repealed them In advance-that the War will
be prosecuted on the Rio Grande-that our Pacific
Heet has probably ere this captured the ports of
California, and that Annexing Revolution, la
Texas, eher already has or will put in open
possession Of that vast regon,-that an Army will
be collected ut st. Louis or Independence and
pushed on Santa Fe, while still stronger is
landed at Vera Cruz Tampico and hurled

ened and rent by internal distractions and thus
mensced with subjugation, will naturally sue
for Peace and then we shall send her an ui

Britain will by this time inerrose In behalf OF her
capitalists who hold heavy mortgages on Californian
lands; the War speeches made at this Session will
foment trouble In Oregon, and the world will be in
voved in War Such Is the view taken by very |
cool heads here, and 1t Is certain that the $40 4os
eyince q dcmoniac exul,ation since the War bill
passed. A leading Loco Foco Senator from the
West who goes $40 40 at all hazards, maintains in
private conversation that ice ought to haze a ten
years War-thai II Ia needed TO animate our patr
otisln, revive our Nationality, &C. &c To men OF
this stamp, War with Mexico is paltry affair not
worth the bother required to get as into it They |
