The Naturalization now hopes for Peace from
the probable restoration of Gen. Herrera to the
Presidency OF Mexico. Ia oar estimation Of the
probabilities Of Peace. 1t may not be imperrnens
TO consider this alnert OF their hopes.
IL wil be reooleeted that after our appropriation
OF Texas. we entered into negotiation with tho
Mexican Government, Of which Herrera was then
the head for the purpose Of settling the question
Of boundary. That was the specific proposition
we Submitted TO Herrera and 10 other was then
mentioned
After the unprovoked outrage we had committeo
upon Mexico by the violent seizure Of her terrtofy
Herrera knew night well that he could not receive
from as a regularly appointed Mioister-tnns &C
know ed sing the two countries 70 be In iah ex-
cbsnes nj International coqresies--and retain bis
place. The Mexicans were in a state OF high ex'
asperation. for our contemptuous act oil aggression
bad wounded their pride-the manner being as IN
sulting a. the act itself was outrageous.
To treat for a specific object, to hear cur justin
cation Of deed that bore the necessary appearance
Of wsrlike aggression. and 70 discuss It's rePafs
ton and complete sstisfscton-to this Herrera con
sented ; and for this would admit and entertain
messenger or Commissioner from our Government.
We do not believe that II was the foolish pride
Of Mr. slideIl-bowever exaggerated that may be
dictated a Noncompliance with the Mezicans
reasonable and unex pected concession we do be
lsve il wss the secret instructions be had taken
with him from the Department OF Stsie-instruc'
tons that clearly contemplated rapture with
Mexico.
Herrera's spprebensons were justified by the
sveut; the concession he had made. however un
satisfactory 20 Mr. slidel. was less so to his own
ooaotrynoen and he consequently fell the victim Of
pronuncismento.
Since which time Mexico has bad two Presidents
more one elected by tbemselves-the other fur
nished by US: but under the Administration VI
neither have we approached nearer 10 peace. The
ally OF Nj Polk has treated him with even moro IN
dignity than the President displaced through bis in

OF blood. and much waste of treasure. our Admin
istrstion has arrived at the pointed 1t started at
l. e. the Government Of Herrera. It's whole pro-
gress has been circular.
We see nothing in the declarations OF Herrera or
OF his friends TO warrant hope Of their good will

His personal feelings must rebel against such

them into existence.
The capture of Mexico IL not the conquest OF the
country nor are certain that by the great body
Of the nation il would be held disastrous result.

The truth is. the more we contemplate the
