men to inspect the securities that may be offered,
before they close upon them
II Nj. Buchanan should contract debts not recog-
pjzed By the Constitution nor even approved by
Congress- is altogether probable that such claims
would DO ignored by the nation, first through Con
gress or secondly through the courts and that after
such rejection they could not be insisted upon by
foreign governments It Is not simply necessary to
have President Juarz ratify debt, but that claim
must be capable Of substantiation before the courts
before it can be pressed by foreign nations. There
fore 1t the loan which Presden Juarez seeks to nego
tate is illegal, the Mexican Congress may come
forward and refuse to make provision for it's payment
The nation, through its representatives, would most
assured have the right to do this and she would do
so positively it Miramon succeeds, and probably if
Juarez succeeds, but afterwards provoke enemies
amongst his own psrtisans.
When our Government recognized the Constitu-
tional Government, it recognized the Constitution
and not Mr. Juarez It gave the best evidence of its
good faith in this respect by accepting the excuse Of
Juarez that he could not proceed to form a treaty
with us because the Constitution did not allow him to
do 50 without the advice aud consent Of Congress.
You must know, too, that none of the DEGREES Of
Juarez confscatng the property Of the Church, are
after have but little doubt but that this sanction
will be obtained il the Liberals succeed but there
strong doubt in my mind if they ever do fully and
firmly establish the Juarez Government
For these reasons, and to save money, which l
believe will be useessly expended, admonish the
financial public that the basis on which Senior Tejada
proposes to treat should be fully discussed and
understood before the loan is negotiated. We have
been held responsible for the evils Of this people quite
enough and it is time that we left them to their own
excluslveness until they have eat each other up.
Humanity is not benefited, nor civilization advanced
by constantly feeding this voracious revolution which
not only eats up its own Subjects put seeks to prey
upon honest people, who have been thrown by fate
within the circle of its influence.
Our TRUE Policy.
Under certain laws and DEGREES of the Government,
given with all the solemnty Of contract foreigners
have been invited to enter into the republic and to
invest their money and talent here. There is right
accrued 1t is ours by treaty and by law. by impli.
cation and by assertion, and it is the duty of the
American Government to uphold these rights. We
cannot be driven out or harrassed after the solemn
guarantees in favor entered into by both nations
without all compacts broken by war, or all right
tramped under foot by high-handed power. To suffer
the latter alternative would be to bring disgrace upon
the nation, and would subject our subjects to be
treated as Gypsies in every community, without
rights to respect power to protect themselves even
II the Government was not SO deeply concerned in
political squabbes for the succession If those of its
cabinet ministers attended more to the duties of their
Office than to intrigues for the coming presidency we
should see better condition of affairs in connection
| with our foreign relations.
