Our quarrel is With The GovernG ent Of
Mexico. We have beaten us orgaLized
furces in successive battles; we have bro
Ken down IFS means Of organized resIs
lance; lis capital is in our possession. In
the eyes OF the world Mexico is vanqoish-
ed. Is not tina. enough! Are we resp"nsi-
bic for her stubborn obstinscy in refusing
10 acknowledge her true position and in
sking vain show Of further defiance!
She will not cete poilion al territory

We are determined To possess u, why not
take II, and hold IL, without troubling our
selves about her formal acquie.cence!

II we continue 10 inhlc. blows upon Mex-
