Who fs for Peace?-.7 New Move on Foet. ~
The abolitionists have suggested scheme Of pesee
with Mexico State by State to be admitted into the
Union the Of the people OF each State agree
ing to peace such have the option Of avsry
or no slavery. Certain wings are making movement
In this notable scheme which, adopted by the whiss.
will be equivalent to a coalition OF the wings and aboli
tionists and which, in its inception IL scheme which
calls for the attention OF Father Richie forth with
Inthe National Vhs Of last evening long article Is
published, and endorsed, from the National Era,
abolition paper published In this city This article
commends strongly the re annexation OF the whole
public OF Mexico State by State fast IL be
with an exception or two, has the requisite popula-
ton for State Of this Union and that said population
being free, there be no doubt as to their dsci
sion the slavery question, the effect Of which will Be
every OF the States Of Mexico admitted land
proposed absorb ally will be free State (and that
the great object gained by this process will be the
cape Of the inevitable quarrel the Wllmot proviso II
we attempt to absorb Mexico by any other means.
Admitting all this, though upon the face Of It, 1t Is
most impracticable absurdty but admitting that the
Mexicans love like brothers. that they are dying TO
and of religion and bitter burning hatred Of the
laudjobbng Anglo Saxon, distinguished he 10 In all
distinctions, and this hate Of distinct race do not
exist but that the Mexcaus longing for the shelter
the protection aud the glory OF the Star spangled BAN
ner,' and admitting too that II will be an easy
process to make peace with Mexico, state by state,
until the whole republic Is blended with tho
no voice all in the matter Are they going TO sub
quietly the destruction Of the balance Of In
the and to be placed between two sections OF fres
States t the North, and whole nation OF anti
States the South-with the slave states thus
placed between fires and bound up hand and foot
The Southern States will assent to such RI
diculous arrangement But THERE'S danger that will
be carried out attempted the scheme s 90 en-
rely one Of the grand Of the Knight of the
sorrowul fgure preposterousy quxotical and eyre
giousy absurd. . .
But the wings in adopting It, may have another Idea
on hand They believe, perhaps, that not solitary
State of Mexico of its free WILL be persuaded
bamboUzed into annexation with the United States OF
the North and thus In pursuing the policy Of peace
such such States shall think IT. they will be en-
rolled among the States Of this great Union the wings
know that not of them until the Mexican popua
ton is superseded will assent to annexation with
the Yankees Then the result will be- that with peace
with all the States separately there will not be
rood of territory acquired beyond the boundaries Of
Texas. And doubt not this is the object OF the
whgs because they well know, that whether States
the territories Of Mexico be incorporated free
states or slave States they never be anything else
States the policy Of the wings being
tpodestical to the policy OF free trade.
The scheme, then, Is advocated by an organ OF two
distinct parties two distinct grounds to Witty tho
organ the abolitioniss the ground that 1t viii
suit in the speedy extinction OF slavery by the
ton Of Mexico free States; by Of the
wings on ground that 1t will cut of the further
QUESTION Of Mexican territory and thus prevent the
strengt henng of the free trade interest
Two dissnilar purposes than that OF the aboli
and that OF the wings in this fsAcous project
could not hardly be blended in the same movement
parties alone in the enterprise make II utterly
impracticabe. w.
