But the campaign IN the east against Vera

apa. and are reported 10 have been rcpulsed
with considerahleioss and there is no eva
dence that they constituted he main body of
the conservative army, or that Miramon was
with them. The last adrices we have Of him
dated some fifteen days previous to the latest
dates-stated that be was at Orizaba and Vera
Cruz, and lies in a line Of march either on
Vera Cruz or Alyarado, leads rs 10 suppose
that the main attack is descending BY some
other route. III state Of neglect iu which the
Church party has left the northern and north
western portions Of the republic, concenirat-
ing al their efforts and an their hopes on MIR
amon's attack on Vera Cruz, shows how COM
plctely their hopes conhde in this Young sol
der, and how much his future career depends
upon de success Of The present campaign. In
connection with his views and policy, The fe-
port OF the toasts given Az a political and d-
plomatic banquet beforehe left Mexico, have
great significance.

crisis TIE most ardent desires Of recognition
By our Government are. however, expressed as

at least a desirable moral support and stimulus

discusses this question with great trUthfuincss

besides the moral support Of recognition bV our
Government, President JuareE does not also re-

the same convictions. MeXiro can never again
enjoy a constituted government through her
own efforts. The popular impulse is toward a
free government, but not one Of exaggerated
liberalism like that advocated by many Of the
partizans of Juarez, who, in their jealous rad
icalism, refuse 20 confer upon the executive

Against this popular impulse are auaved the
Church, which is The only really organised
