Another War with That Republic,
While the Senate il dosing over the ratidca-
lion Of The new treaty with Mexico, The Gle
wenis of another war with tina. republic, or Of
our necessary armed intervention there, are
| rapidly gathering.
The recent accounts from Vera Cruz inform
US thu, MiIamon, the military chief Of the
church party, has succeeded in defeating the
liberals in the West, and subjecting the dis
trict Of Colma. This gives him port on the
Pacific, and the President should immedi-
ateiy order some portion Of the Pacific squad
ron to make Its presence there seen and felt
by the authorities of the church. It is
added, in the late accounts, that the young
church leader was expected in the capital on
the 9th Of January, when he would at once
make second demonstration against Vera
Cruz, the preparations for which have already
been made. His last years attempt to take
that city and the events that have followed
that failure, do not lead US to suppose that he
will succeed in The present movement; but the
chances Of war are uncertain, and this should
lead ne to contemplate the present position of
Mexico and its relations towards this country.
For two years the present civil war has
ragged there, between the people on one side
and the privileged classes of the priesthood
and the mill -.ry on the other. On the field Of
battle the skill of the trained soldier has con-
stantly triumphed over the undiscplined efforts
of the popular masses which support the
Juarez government. Yet the church aud the
army combined have not been aole to subdue
the country to their rule. Whenever the ext
gences Of The war have caused the army Of the
church to abandon any portion Of the country
The people there have at once returned to their
allegiance to the constitutional government
and restored its authority. The continual re-
currence of this fact has exhausted the means
of both parties for carrying on the war, and
renders the triumph ofthe anti popular partya
mere question of time. The recuperant energy
of the liberals, in constantly rendering new
conquests necessary TO the church and army, is
rapidly diminishing its chances for success.
Its men as well as its money are waning day
by day,
The clergy Of Mexico are we'll convinced of
this fact, and have, therefore, endeavored to
procure European assistance in their strife. In
this they have failed, and at the present
moment they see no other chance for
escaping the fate which awaits them
at the hands OF Juarez than another
occupation of the country by the ar
mics of the United States They remember
! with JUNCTION the protection to property and
, every existinr ri"ht By Gen. Scott; and they
now wish to interpose the same shield between
! their vast possessions and the determination Oh
the ccpstltHtienaists to con1sda.e IN. ~ WV
use OF the STATE. Hence the violent course C.
La Sociedad, the organ Of Bishop Mungina, and
Of all the other church party journals In Mexi-
co, against this country. War is openly adyo-
Gated by them Every outrage has been COM
Mexico wherever the church party prevails.
Insult upon insult has been heaped upon us:
and should they be able to get to Vera Cruz,
they will force war upon us at all hazards.
There is the logic of selfshness in their course
Pretending to be exceedingly irate at magma.
ry aggressions on our part, the priesthood
would provoke real aggression, in order to
save their own possessions by the sacrifice of
the nation.
This state of things should be taken into
consideration by the Senate and it should take
care that its delay by deferring the ratification
OF our treaty, does not result in making us be-
come, at the cost Of much blood and millions
Of treasure, the supporters and defenders of
one OF the most corrupt and heaytless religious
organizations on this continent. The. true pre-
ventive for such q condition Of things is to
pursue such q course as will enable the con-
stitutional government there to carry out the
ecclesiastical reforms it has initiated. This
the treaty does; and we are curious to see If,
in the vote upon it, the anti-papst elements of
The North will be found ranged with the cor
rupt Romish priesthood Of Mexico
