NEW DEvELOPMENT OF AN OLD
SCHEME.

NEW OETEk0PMENE OF AN OLD
SCHEME.
It was long ago hinted in tue newspapers in |
tue interest Of the Administration and the |
Democratic party, that, if the schemes for the !
acquisition Of Cuba should fail, Mexico as the
next best thing, should Be pounced upon and |
distnembcrcd. But until. the telegraph an
.notncod, tue other day, TINT Mr. Mclean, the
Cnited States Minister to Mexico had con
cluded treaty with tho revolutionary party,
securing the right Of way across that country
to t1ie Gulf Il California the threats Of tho
Democracy were regarded as pure gasconade;
or, at the most, expressions Of what the nlli.
busters hope for, but have not the power to
carry out. But ercnts in Europe, which sill
turn tho attention Of the leading Powers to
hume affairs, lave quickened the efforts Of the
plottcrs on this side Of tbs water; hence we
find, that as soon as a blow is struck in Sar-
dinia, by which bloody and perhaps a long
aud universal war is made certain. tue clamors
Of the Democracy for the settlement Of the
Mexican question" {~'bat question y grow
louder au'l louder; and what before was
vaguely and cautiously limited at, is NOW boldly
demanded.
Fortunately for the country, both the Bu-
chanau and tae Douglas factions Of the De-
mocracy are agreed TINT MEXICO is 4 "sick
maa' demanding their attention; and fortu-
naiely again, the indications now are, that like
brothers long estransed, they will be recon-
cilcd over the bed Of this patient in the last
stages Of decay. The Constita4ion-the Wash
ington organ Of the Presidents emphatic in
its declarations that something decisive must
be done; and the Sta&es- MIR. Douglas mouth
piece. published under Mr. Buchanan's nose
chimes in thus:
The Improvement Of the political condition Of
Mexico-the unfolding Of her mineral resources
-the opening Ia an enlarged extent Of her yRl-
leys aud bills to the cultivation Of sugar And
cotfce-tte establishment Of iuter-oceanic rail
wavs-the creation Of M extended commerce.
are subjects worthy Of the earnest confederation
Of so experienced Il statesman - Mr.. Buchanan.
Let him, without looking to the right or to the
left, engage zealous'v in this benign uodertak-
ing, and a united American sentitnent will utge
il In tn specdv aud successful completion. As
congressman ure now salaried officers, he can
convene them without submitting the treasury
to IN additional expenditure. while they hare
