that will not equally hinder US twenty
years hence?
1t seems clear to Us that if we do not
interposc as. I. protectorato foraMexico
some European power will. 1t would be
but u holiday excursion for the French
feet and army to make the conquest Of
Mexico and put king upon its throne.
Napoleon has but little regard for the
Monroe Doctrine nor will any other for
eigner look upon it as anything more than
empty hoastihg until they see us ready
to put it in force and maintain it with
bayonetsand cannon balls.
In our view this Mexican question is
the grand political problem of tile day,
prior in point of time and not second in
Importance to the acquisition of Cuba.
The time has come for action. Our gov
eminent ought to have ample assurance
that the people and their representatives
will sustain It in doing its duty.
The Delta CT the 18th inst, closing an article on
the New Orleans w-No,hing Nominating Con.
venti0n, says:
II adjourned about o'clock. About dark the
various ward clubs convened to ratify the nomina-
tions.g These are far more numerous assemblies,
and their proceedings we're characterized by more
tumuh and disorder. Staunch and strong oppo-
sition was made in all the wards to certain of the
nominees, and fierce contests arose among the
rival claimants. Some of them were confirmed by
very close votes; but we could learn of but two
that were not ratified. These were Mr. Fish for
the Fourth District Court Cerkship, who was re.
jected by seven or eight of the clubs, and Mr..
Chalon preferred. So Mr.. Dufour for the Second
District Assessor, was SET aside for Mr.. Durel.
These ballotings Of the several wards are duly
made up and sent to the General Council, which in
the fullness of time announces, with all the So
lemnty OF the Delphc Oracle, the final conclusion,
and then our ncighbor, the duly constituted and
and lawful organ of the great American party,
takes up the subject, breaks his present ominous
silence, and trumpets forth to an admiring world
the august conclusion of the Sachems of his august
party. sl
