Tho TrOuh1cs m the Frontier


The continuance Of instruction and
robbery on the Mexican frontier, de-
man Is the prompt action of the General
Government. A state Of actual war
now exists between the American and
Mexican races. The sympathies of the
original inhabitants of Mexico, though
they may not be inhabitants Of Texas,
are with the robbcr Cortinas, while,
with the population west of the Rio
Grande, he seems able to recruit his
forces whenever they are scattered by a
defeat.
Peace is scarcely to be hoped for
without crossing the border into Mexi-
co and occupying the frontier States.
No Government exists to which an ap-
peal can be made for redress, or an ar
rest of hostilities and depredations.
Neither that Of Miramon, nor that of
Juarcz, can command obedience or en-
force order on the RIO Grandc. The
Republic Of Mexico has virtually fallen
in pieces. The action of the heart is
not felt in the extremties. Each State
is, in some respects, independent though
utterly powerless, and each robber
chieftain carries war and rapine wher-
ever he wills.
The condition of Mexico renders the
interference of other nations necessary,
even if the clements of disorder did
not directly disturb their tranquility.
The loss to the commerce Of the world,
the violence inflicted upon those whose
enterprise leads them into Mexico, the
absolute ruin involving so product
we country, and SO many millions OF
people, would demand interposition
from abroad: had not that distracted
country been made an asylum and n do.
pot Of physical resource against the
peace Of neighboring nations.
But the hostiltics now actually exist
ing on the frontier, make interpretation
an act Of duty to our citizens in peril
Yet the trouble is not one that can he
overcome by decisive rout Of robbie,
horde. Peace will! not be secured SO lone
IS Mexico affords a secure retreat il
case of defeat, and supplies the troop,
lost in battle or scattered in the conflict
Nothing but a military occupation o
the frontier States will secure quiet il
the valley of the Rio Grande.
Nothing but the support Of an armed
force can give the actual government o
, Mexico power to make the laws supreme
throughout the extent Of the Republic
