That the intelligent and opulent part of
the people want and are anxious for peace,
there cannot be doubt but even these
would prefer remaining under the institu-
tions OF the United States. Very naturally
do they wish it, for they would lose no coun.
try, but exchange that which cannot be

every one returned from Mexico says about

country. So uniform are our advices, oral

days breaking through the smoke OF ba,lle.
And this party is composed of white peo-
pie, of men of unmixrd blood, who have
groaned beneath the oppression of hybrid
governors and the raracity OF negro gener-
ais. That persons who have felt the exis.
tcncc OF a government only through lis ex-
actions, and a military organization only
by its extortions, should welcome the rule

ofcarnage, is to be wondered at and it is

ters them from IN open avowal Of their
