The latest accounts from Mexico. sho.
quite a change in the political prospects Of
tha. distracted country. Mirsmou. with his
Church party, from being nearly powerless

stalking abroad in his Camp. Miramon,
who is KEEP, pretty we'll in funds by the
Church. was, at last accounts forming a
very close intimacy with Marquez, who has
also aspirations. aud who, has recently
fortified himself with sundry millions of the
Sinevs Of war, (" which be /" robbed" from
''couducta." These two worthless il is
said are preparing for joint descent upon
Vera Cruz with the view OF driving Juarez
into the sea. They hope to accomplish
quite as much by their gold as by their arms
which is very probable considering the faeile
conscience sofMexican officials, especially
when they find themselves attached TO a
waneing party.
ii will be recollected that our govern
ment has recognized the Juraez faction as
1.-THE government" OF Mexico, and con-
sequen tly our minister, McLane, has kept
bis residence near that parsonage, who has
of late, made his head quarters at Vera
Cruz, At last accounts minister McLane
had thought his safest position was outside
OF the walls Of that city. and he has conse
quently I" taken berth on board the U.
S. war Ship Brooklyn, where he will proba-
bly, remain during the impending critis,'
between these rival factions. [Since the a.
bove was put in type we notice that Mr.. Nc
Lane has arrived at New Orleans with IA
vorable treaty with the Juarez Government.l
To be serious, it does appear as though it
was high time some decisive step was taken
by the United States to quiet the present
state Of affairs aud establish, by the strong
arm of the federal government permanent
condition of things in that distracted country
Every consideration. political as well hu.
man calls for such course. We owe 1t TO
the interests Of cur citizens who have been
invited .hither by past Mexican administra-
tions, and encouraged to invest their capital
here in commercial and other pursuits. We
owe it, as their natural guardians to the Mex
leans themselves. who have clearly shown
by their acts for the past twenty years. that
they are absolutely incapable of taking care
OF themselves. In the name OF humanity and
political necessity. let the United States
step in and give to Mexico what she so much
needs, a permanent and hesltbful govern
ment. With such a government, she would
soon agsin reach her ancient elevated
position among tho nations Of the earth, and
astonish the world, more than ever, with her
inexhaustble mineral-agri cnl-
tural and commercial. Ali that is needed to
place her on the hi gh road to wealth and
power, is kin dly, helping hand to lead her
for while, until her step is once more firm
and steady, when she may again be left to
make her way alone and unaided amid the
march OF nations.
1t is confidently asserted that the Presi-
dent will again urge this policy upon the
attention Of Congress. and we earnestly hope
that body willlay aside party bick eriugs,
and sectional strifes, for short time at least
and take hold of this work, asa united
body. The great masses Of our own country
irrespective Of party. call for it the con.
servative sentiment OF Mexico. itself, calls
for il, and the universal voice of humanity
throughout the world, bids us Gsd speed in
such work.
