The self-complaceney Of our friend OF the
Citizen, Is truly wonderful. aud the indepen-
dence he eonjures up fOr himself. and the par
~ servility psieh he makes common to 9TH
ers. enssles him TO feel. we have no doubt. as
= stupendous moral and political hero. The
difference between the Express and the citi-
zen NAV rot be so marked as j. supposed. or
il tnay be. that independent of ell party die
tation. re nay still adhere to the position We
havo assumed. with as much determination ss
even the editor Of that sheet.
We favor the annexation OF Mexico-ihs
whole Of MEXICO. and va think the greatest
blunder our Government evef committed. was
in no. holding that country IN subleetion when
lour army had possession Of her Capital. We
conquered he. and we should have held heras
3 CONQUERED province u would have made
aus a greater. ard the Me~icsrs nhappisr peo-
rle. II would have made uss richer. and ths
aexicans freer people. II sosld have made
.. stronger. and The Mexicsns wiser peo-
lnle. II would have been the first colossal
stride towa. ds that extension Of our oountrs's
boundaries. which inevitable destiny has
marked ont for Us. The North American con
Itinent IS too small FOR two separate and dis
ltinct government The Atlantic and Pacific
that ls.es the shores oil this continent, must
lbe the boundaries OF bat oas empire This
world has always been cursed with too many
Governments. Napoleon uttered but hall tho
truth when he said. EcTops would become Re-
nublican or cossaek lie should have said
French and Cos.ack That Il the destiny oil
Europe. Russia will absorb all that joins her
on The North aud East. and France viii make
conquest of the remainder. Europe then VIII
have but two powerful governments. aud axe
plants thev will fear contest with each 9TH
er. This. in our iudgmeut. Is TIE ultimate tate
lof the Old World, and the history OF all pre-
eedine ages confirm this assertion. that no ma
ton of people was ever great or OF long dn
ration. who refused 10 extend the bounds
Of their empire. The nation that stan Is st'ii'
like a corroling metal. j. consumed by hs
elements which surround i.
Their is one thing inevitably certain io's
government must absorb Mexico. o. Mexico
viii absorb u. Two separate and disinc,
governments cannot long continue on 'his
eontiaent The greater ptust absorb the less
The stronger must control the weaker
wlo then i to be mas,ers There is not tho
rer,oisst probabiisy that Mexico will ever er /.
tend her present limits. The superiority OF
races fixes her doom. Angio-Stx'n blood
