MEXICAN TREATY REJHC1ED.
Poor old egete Mexico is in despair
Spain is about hurting the thunderbolts |
OF war ut her, and in this dilemma she |
spilled to Mr.. Forsyth; our minister in
Mexico, and u treaty was formed, in
which the United States, agrees to fur
nish Mexico with certain millions o
money, with which to pay her army,
and keep the ship Of State ailoat, until
something shall turn up" This treaty
has been rejected by Buchanan aud M
structions given to Mr.. Forsyth to make
no more treaties without special in
structions.
What Mexico will now do is quite
uncertain. She is penniless, her gov
eminent inimical To the 'ChuIch par.
~" and England and Spain both
threatening war. Manifest Destiny
does not seem to regard the Spanish
Americans with much favor. Little by
little the tide OF Yankee expansion rolls
towards the Halls q. the Montczulnas. l.
Mexico is too feeble To defend herself
she will apply To us for aid, upon con.
ditions that will be favorable to sur
render Of more of her territory or u
complete union with The United States.
When We have thoroughly digestcd
California, New Mexico, Mesiila aud
Texas, we shall need another slice Of
land to fill the Unsuitable INV Of Yam
