ouences to her or to u.s. Uuprepsred, as
fear her population yet is, for the practical
enjoyment OF self government, and oil habits,
customs. language, laws and religion, so 10
tally different from our own, we should pre-
sent the revolving spectacle OF a confused,
distracted, and molly government. We
should have Mexican Party, a Pacific
Ocean Party, so Atlantic Party, IN addition
to the other Parties, which exist, or with
which we are threatened, each striving 10
execute ITS own particular views and pur
poses and reproachng the others with
Ih~arlins and Disappointing them. The
Mexican representation, 10 Congress, would
probably form a separate aud impeuc,rab!e
corps, alaays ready 10 throw itself INTO the
scale Of any other PARTY, TO advance and
promote Mexican interests. Such a state
Of ,hnas could not long endure. Those,
whom God and geography have proncuac.
ed should live asuuder, could never be per.
manentIy and harmoniously united together.
