ENA NNOL, DfIC. y, 1871.
Mari y two years residence in this coun-
try has given me considerable insight into
the Mexican character, and the more SEQ

in the opinion that we have not yet seen
the worst Of this war, AMI that it will not
only require l,ng time, but large army
to secure to the United States this unfort,l-
nate country. l. say secure it to us, because
| have become convinced that ii will ever
remain under the subjection of the great
Republic Of the North, or form portion
of it.
Up to this day we mus, all limit that no
serious effort has been made by Mexico to
drive the invaders from her shores-none
worthy of so powerful a nation. say seri-
Gus efforts, because no effort has vet been
made BY the mass of the people, and can
give no other reasons for this than that our
gallant army has been so insignificant and
they at all times so sanguine OF victory, that
they have thought it unnecessary to como
into the field. Again, from the day she Sc
cured her independence civil discorLs have
ruled supreme, and split them up into so
many parties, one i'll deadly hatred against

solved is-can this unite them.
The greater the extent Of territory oc-
cupied by the Americans the more restrict

can tyrants and aspirants; and though tho
Mcxcans, who have been taught to believe
that there is not a crime on record which
an American soldier will hesitate to commit,
may gain confidence in US and become
convinced that the Americans are not what
they have been represented to be; still that
bitter hatred to the name Of Americans will
not be in the least diminished. 1t will in.

They break up the intended relation between
the Senate and the House of Representatives.
If you bring in new States. any State that
comes in must have two Senators. She may
come in with fifty or sixty thousand people
and more. You may have from particular
State more Senators than you have Repre-
sentatives. Can anything occur to disfgure
and derange the form of government under
which we live more signally than thats Here
would be Senate bearing no proportion to
the people, out of all relation to them, by the
addition of new States from some of them
only one Representative perhaps, and two
Senators; whereas the larger Statos may have
ten, fifteen or even thirty Representatives,
and but two Senators. The Senate added to
augmented by these new Senators coming
from States where there are few people be-.
comes anodious ohgarchy. 1t holds power
without any adequate constituency. Sir. it is
but thorough mongering upon large sclale.
Now, do not depend upon theory ask the
Senate and the country to look at facta Ito

DIRE three years ago, and where we now are;
and leave it to the imagination to conjecture
where we shall be.

Remember, when any candidate for the presidency re
fuses to ayow his political opinions that very fact proves
that there is design that some part of the country shall
be diped and cheated!
Remember that while General Taylors friends hold
him up with two different faces as to the slavery ques
tonone for the North. and the other for the South
they brag OF his honesty but will not suffer him TO speak
out and tell the country whether he is opposed to the
Wimot Proviso or in favor OF it

vote for the continuance OF that policy whchh has, during
the past four years, covered land with prosperity
which has carried government through a war with
the credit OF our treasury unimpared-whlch has ena

Europe and dsburse millions for the payment OF ouI

placed our foreign relations in unexaDped elevation

Remember, that in eleciing Zachary Taylor, you
