President and the sentiment is his Secretary
of State We have been favored with perusal CT ale
of late American papers published in tae city OF Mexico
and In them that there is growing disposition,
with those whom may call democrats, to retain
army in the country protect than from the tyranny
of the narchica party composed Of the military
srocracy and nearly all the clergy Ii Is said that the
democrats not contemplate in number and intel
and hold the stills. AS Mr. Buchanan says, they APP
preciate protection at It's proper value and dread
nothing go much as the withdrawal Of our army They
know this would the signal for renewed and nsroe
d.sensons among their military leaders@n which the
Mexican people would become the victims
