An outside observer Of the political cness board ard
yeader OF your paper cannot but fee impressed with
she IDEA that crs in relations with the republic OF
Mexico fast approaching and that the policy which you
have advocated through your journal is the only one
70 be pursued by US, as a nation, N tie matter !
am further convinced that large majority OF the
American people agree with you; but there are
many a, the same time who would ardenty de-
v,re To see a proirctorate established over tha,
.oun,rv who would hesitate advocate any act steps
IN The mart OF cur government because they do not see
,ne xav in which the desired end cd be accomplished
and tear that would result in great expense, possibly
m failure and probably domestic disssnsions IN our
ewp country.
N3wrth.nk you would prepare tie draft OF resoln'
non such as should pass Congress in order 70 authorize
he President TO ACT and then point out the way in which
ths authority would be carried INTO execution, ana us
probable Notwithstanding 70 the country how easily the
.hoc project could be carr I'D into efe Al Wat slight
.xpense aud with what vast beneficial results; and
that instead of iomentine domestic dssord, II would
DC additional bond Of 'aion, and turn the attention OF
politicians from sectional issues, ana you would
spread this before your readers now, when the public
mind i rife for IT, you spud secure all OF these waverng,
Smorous people and create amount OF public opinion
tna would Congress 10 aci at the very opening Of
the conAng session.
In ny judgment the whole matter could be readily
sorphshod 10 the following InannerLet joint resolu

rr ,ha the people OF Mexico having, through long series
OF years themselves incompetent 10 establish gov
ermeut which TO its citizens the rights
