The Editor Of the Washington Union, after de-
llberately proposing, in elaborate article, the
desecraton and robbery of the Christian churches
of Mexico, waited several days TO see how the
proposition would be received by the people of the
United States, and then beat a precptate retreat,
declaring that the suggestion, although made by him
self, was in direct opposition to the views Of the
President and every member of his Cabinet. In
this matter thing is very especially observable
as long as the public were under the impression
that the Unions suggestion in favor of church rob-
berry was III accordance with the views of the Ad-
minstratlon, many of the Locofoco papers of the
country endorsed that suggestion, and not solitary
Ldcofoco paper in the whole United States ex-
pressed or limited the slightest dsapprobaton of it.
The truth is, there are great many Locofoco edi-
tors in this country who, thinking only of their
wretched stipends, would not dare to condemn their
President, even if he were to proclaim that, upon
the taking of Mexican city, the churches should
be given up to robbery, the male inhabitants to
sacre and the women to the fate said to have been
ordained by Pakenham for the ladies of New Or
