THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL.
The Condition Of Mexico.

We confess ourselves unable fully to share the conf
dence which President Buchanan expresses in what is
oouoJ tho Liberal" or constitutional party OF
MEXICO After all efforts to sift the intelligence
from that distracted country, cannot find any great
difference between the parties engaged in waging civil
war; which, unfortunately is unredeemed by heroism, as
it is unsanctioned by any true devotion principle 1t
appears to us to be merely contest between Military
Chietains. IfZuloago out of power he might as
means of getting in raise the "liberal banner, and
make a pronunciamento. If Degollado Juarez, or any
other of the liberal chiefs were n they would be forced
to do just as Zuloago does 1t would appear that the
so-caled liberals" are gaining ground but it is very
slowly and they evidently are too tmid to push their
advantages or avail themselves of their opportunities
The only thing that really does to progress the
dsintegraton Of civil society. There is really COM
merce-no revenue-no stability There appears to be
no fixed point upon which to rally for the support of
order
Reports say that Zuloago has sent off dispatches to
Europe begging the nations of the old world to estab
lish protectorate. We presume that nine out Of
ten who have paid any attention to the of things
in Mexico have come to the conclusion that has
been forced upon u.s. namely that there is no seactng
recuperave power in Mexico. correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune writing from the city of Mexico
under date of the 18th ut says that all the purest
moonshne hope for these people to arrange their own
ouarrels This bandit life suits ninetenths of all the
men now under arms and if the liberals should gain to-
morrow, it would only create another civil war, with
slight change of the leading characters" We think the
correspondent is so far right. But really we hardly
know what the United States do, or ought to do
in the premises. Are finances rich and fourshng
as that we can afford to assume the guardianship of
unruly neighbour which cannot be made to pay her own
expenses? Are going to assume the debts of Mexico
to England and other nations and take the country for
payment, filed, as it is with idle Ignorant, mixed
race? These are ugly questions but the other hand
it may be asked we think it right to permit Mexico
to fall into State Of barbarism and become curse
and nuisance to u.s. its next neighbor. Are we will
ing to see Mexico pass under European rule and inu-
ence? 1t would appear that Mexico must become bar
barised, Europeanised or Americanised- is the
responsibility of governing it assumed by us-al evils
but which is the east-which shall choose? One Of
them we must choose

THE SEASON CLosING.-From the ap-
pearance of large number Of fishermen
in The city, re presume the fishing sea-
son has closed at all the landings on the
Potomac. Many Of the poor fellows
have been obliged to be satisfied with but
a portion Of their wages in cash, the bal
ance being given in due bills, several OF
which have been exhibited to persons
who profess 10 know that they are only
worth the paper they are written upon.
Two poor fellows, on Thursday, made
application to justice of the peace 10 OBJ
tain their money by legal process; anoih-
err, for want Of the money due him, was
sent TO the workhouse. All of these had
due bills for the wages due them. 1t is
said that the season has been failure; and
many Of the proprletors, instead Of profit
ing by their landings, will lose money.
1t is 10 be hoped that the proPrletors will
be able TO pay off all their hands in day
or two, and not suffer them 10 become a
charge 10 the cities in which they are left.

The cause Of the Diflculty.

Austria claims that she rightly owns

she has a right 10 control them as she
sees fl that in order 10 this she must
maintain with the several neighbOring
Italian States such an influence as Will

tlal military occupancy of the central Ital-
ian States and virtually rules in all Italy.
SARDINIA is the only large Italian province
which is an exception. There Austria
has no power, and the policy Of SARDINIA,
which is favorable TO the establishment OF
of constitutional Governments IN Italy, is
hostile 10 that of Austria, which tends TO

despOlism. Sardinia and France, sympa-
thizing with her, on the contrary, claim
that The Austrian occupation OF Italy, is
injurious in lis effects on the Italian
States, prevents The Development Of that
country, and is virtually in violation OF
the treaties and compacts OF 1919. they
demand the abandonment Of the Austrian
occupation of Italy and the Sandman
