The Greenvlle "Mountaineer," of South Carolina
announces that Major Perry, the former distinguished
editor OF that paper who has been in the State
Legislature, is now candidate for Congress 1t states
that no man in the district State is more decided anti
Wmot-Proviso man than he is; and it adds, that 'f
ever there was question which perfect unanimty
prevailed among people, it is the hostility of the peo
pie OF South Carolina to the Wmo Proviso and all its
friends and abeors and that Major Perry will neither
dodge the question by opposing the acquisition OF more
territory, with view to preserve the unity oil parties,
some southern politicians inclined nor shrink in the
discharge OF his duty for fear OF any other consequences
This is the true spirit The "Mounainee" in another
article in the same paper speaks in the following just
and manly strain
''The Washington Union publishes accounts from
he city of Mexico which represent the Mexicans as trying
ceny strong national councils benefit them, by
making treaty which is renqush all claims of ndem
nifty in the shape OF territory, or in any other way
''To proeaiIn the policy of refusing the further acquisi
zion of territory the Mexican border OF salts

we may regard the actual commencement of hoslilies
produced by The march to the X 10 Grande, To OPP
pose tile acquisition OF territory for fear OF the abo
iohists, or Tor the still unpatrioc and selfish of
splitting the wings OF the north and south, the democrats
OF the same sections, the 'Wmot Proviso question, is
far worse and more inexcusable than the open advo-
eacy of the Mexican side Of the question by Senator
Corwn OF Oho,a wing expccant OF the next presiden-
cyand by others like him in the north. But we hope
wholesome fear OF the people will coefce public men, OF all
parties to maintain the honor and interests OF the county
and whenever peace is made let us not relinquish every
thing the enemy, and pay all expenses ourselves,

Interesting Document from Mexico.

We lay this evening before readers the report of
the Committee on Foreign Relations to the Mexican
Congress, translated for the New Orleans Pcayune The
conclusion to which it arrives is, that the President is TO
negotiate treaty, and the Congress to ratfy or reject IT.
Hence they return Mr. Buchanans letter to Santa Anna
At the tmc the tone of the report seems little ia
vorabe TO pacific negotiation for it shackles the Ex
ecuve with the expression of protest against treaty
which to US "the possession OF the territory
usurped by them" (us) This treaty it shgmatizes as
.'ignominious"
How long they will maintain this language, when our
troops shall be in possession OF the capital we cannot
anticipate We must wait for events. There is letter
in Washington from Pueba, of the 10th July, which
SAYS the negotiation has failed, and therefore General
Scott will be prepared the arrival OF General Pierce
to occupy the capital This failure OF the negotiation,
however requires confirmation.

We have achieved great victory. We nominated men
of high character and standing; and though our oppo-
nents did more than they ever did again,
have beat them horse, foot, and Dragons. Like their
friends the Mexicans, at Cero Gordo, they had well
surrender at discretion. So much for the first State

Mexico. July IL, 1917.

The report being submitted TO Congress, underwent
discussion and the vote being taken upon it, it APP
proved the same day Upon the motion of Senior Canas,
was ordered that the report should be published well
as the vote upon II.
We need hardly say that this report appears us an
authoritative declaration the part OF the most ntell
gent political party in Mexico in favor of the continuance
present Congress, and of the party called Moderados,
which would prevail in Mexico, but for the inerposon
of the military. The same line OF argument which is
maintained in the report the Republican, has strenuous
ly pursued hitherto.
We infer from this report that the endorsements
which have puposey been thrown in the way of nego
tations sanctioned by the intelligent liberal class
Mexico; that they expressly designed to guard
against the possible corruption of their leaders, who
might be induced to entertain thoughts OF peace. AS
the report almost terms alleges the people have given
expression in the law not much TO abstract theory

Mexican territory all hazards The blind obstinacy of
in the law The executive has the power by the con-
sution to negotiate and prepare treaty for the sanction
of Congress, but there is existing law of Congress de-
caring that traitor to the country who shall pro-
pose peace The executive must set this law at defiance

Santa Anna understood to have demanded or at least
expected the repeal of this law BY which his hands are
tied Congress has yet yielded to his instances
