Proposed Annexation Of Mexico 20 the United
States.
In view Of the distracted state Of the Mexican republic

question of annexation. We quote s%i~@s There is

be tied, and the problem solved. Our security rs

Development of our immense energies the very

ocearrenee-will force US to grapple with the difficulty,
and settle It one way other FOR The dy 10
which alude the annexation Mexico the United
states, and the problem growing out Of il is-how to
govern people whose manners mode of life, and
language are different from our own
II win not he denied that, in material point of view,
fertile and beautiful country which lies the very flank
Of our republic and Is therefore powerful for defence
ofence would be immense gain to this coustry and
splendid stride ON the road which manifest destiny
comre To travel The only question is whether the
gain would not be more than counerbalanced by the
in The management OF sucha turbulent glorious and
unstable population.
II appears that the chief of our DO.

disappears for the bastard Latin OF their nation cannot
stand for any time against the conquerug power of the
robust and hardy English, which is ultimately destined
to divide the empire Of speech with the equally robust

anarchca tendencies follow rapidly after the language
and by degrees the absorption OF the people becomes
v complete.
Suppose Mexico annexed Suppose American forms in

From the considerations which we have hastily out
