Our relations with Mexico, arc at pres
ent in rather precarious situation, and
may tend TO hasten anevent which could
not fail to be injurious to both countries.
The Union says se..ls
'.The world will see how iimsy are the
exceptions which the Mexican government
have taken to the reception of Mr.. Slidell.
They profess themselves willing to treat
with him as Texas negetiator, but not
as envoy extraordinary and llaiiaister plen;
ipotentiary, toadjust all the points of diff
this distinction! Why settle one question,
which, except in the line to be run from
the Rio Grade, has, in fact, settled itself
land yet refuse 20 settle with us our 9TH
Their grievances, which. will tester with
time, and would promptly bring the two
countries again into collisions? Where is
the wisdom of this course4 Can we per-
NIT our citizens to be cut off from the in
demnity to which they are entitled by
specific treaty? Can VIC permit their un-
settled claims to remain unadjusted foFev-
er? Where is the wisdom of this species
of negotiationl Why try to close up one
breach, and leave others to remain open
at the hazard of involving the two coun-
| tries in future warl" ...r.a
