ANNEXATION OF MEXICO.


We copy the following correspondence
from the New York Sun, dated from the
city of Mexico, April ilh, and is from the
able editor Of that paper, NJ. \. Bench,
ESQ.,:
The bss, class Of Mexieans are tired Of
their military tyrants and will be glad to
see their property safe and enhanced under
the American flag. The clergy aud the
foreigners begin to Lint strongly wish tor
annexation. The resources oil the Gov.
ernment are almost entirely ent off by the
loss OF their sea ports, and most Of the
States in the anticipation ol separate
independence or OF coming under United
States protection eyade paying their con
tributions, When they arc urged to come
TO the rescue Of the general government,
they reply by demanding assistance from
her. Ii they we're but sure Of permanent
protection, the best classes Of Mexico would
soon end the war by rendering allegiance
to tho uLion This would be a blessing
TO Mexico aud 10 all humanity and as the
Americans have the strength and capacity,
they ought To have the will 10 become lhe
sayiours Of the Mexican people. II Is not
difficult, the work is more than halt done,

certain congenial aud neighhor States into
a compact and real government, which s a

the United States undeF a mistaken Oh.

persist in keeping these larfing discofdant
elements bound in the same chain, she
will have to take the whole country down
