The Courrisr des Etats Uais. speaking of our re- /
lations with Mexico, says If the Mexicans obsti-
nately persist in refusing peace the sole course |
left 20 the United States will be 10 establish sys-
TEN of vigorous and permanent occupation. Gene
raj Patterson. who has no faith, 1t seems. in al !
sarly settlement Of the international difficulties Is
Of the opinion that a considerable army-say 40
600 men--should be Immediately thrown into Next
90. and occupy the entire country. Thus reduced,
the Mexicans would not be long in coming 20 terms
We believe, in truth, that this would be heroic
msasure-un moyeR heroique-with a good chance
Of success but the United States do not posses the
secret OF Cadmus to raise soldiers, all ready arm
cd and, before Congress could vote these ioooO
men, before they could be raised equipped and
TRANSPORTED, much time will have passed, and per
baps many events"
The United States it 10 true does not possess the
secret of Cadmas-but, according 10 the " Union

measurs-alwsys unpopular If ever necessary
could be resorted to- the credit Of the National Gov
eminent must have undergone severe shock, II
not a complete overthrow. The market would

The President is destined to find in the next Con
sress no plastic body to give form and action to h
Grade aud unauthorized conceptions. The war he
commenced without its sanction, II may determine
against his advice. The conquest OF sister Re
