East Indies 742 lb in 1885, the total in ls49

The movement of the Northeastern States OF
MEXICO has very material bearing upon our own
national interests. Il is very certain that should
they succeed in gaining their independence, they
would not maintain it long without seeking On ad-
mission into our own glorious Confederacy. They
have not the character, nor the credit nor the re-
sources to maintain national unity of their own,
and all of their interests, and most of their sympa-
thies, would irresistibly impel them to copy the
example of Texas. It is equally certain that there
would be large party in our own country in favor
Of their annexation. But this question could not
be raised without again stirring up the most dan
gerous elements of the slavery controversy. The
territory is now free soil, but the Southern States
would never allow it to remain SO without the most
desperate struggle. They would never, if they
could help il, allow themselves to be envroned in
this manner by complete Gordon Of free States.
We want no such annexation. We want no cir.
cumstances to arise from which even the question
of annexation may spring. To make the best of
our present enormous acquisitions will be enough
to task our uttermost energies for generations to
come. Manifest destiny must be satisfied with its
recent conquests and give place now to manifest
duty and that duty has to do only with the main
tenance of the peace and prosperity of the Union
as it is.-Ne,O FORK Courier and Enquirer.
