Our Diplomatic Relations with MEXICO.
From the Trait l. Union Of Vera Cruz, Nsy12l
IN what capacity does this representative, appointed
By M Lincoln here2 Evidently in the capacity OF
Minister Of the United States that to say OF the con
feceracy such it before the separation of the
States Of the South Can he ought he to be received
In that capacity That is the frs question to be re.
solved. We muat be very careful on that point. TIE
fret step on such grounds may be very dangerous Mr.
corwn would not be simply as the representa-
tive OF only the States CT the North the Mexican
government csDnot recognize him representing the
States Of tie South. II Mr. Lincoa's envoy limits his
professions to BIO only the representative OF the
Morrill, he strikes blow at the dignity of his govern
ment and ADMITS thereby that administration whose
commission he holds Is making e. this moment unjust
and unlawful on the Southland that it not pos
sibe for him TO do II Mexico ehoud receive him rep
reserting at the States Of the North and of the
South would thereby dscred the legitimate authority
OF the Confederate States and Of the government at Mont
gomery-and this ia not lore possible for them. Mr..
Oorwn comes, ns s said, to conclude treaty. That
question my handled later The only question for the
present s that Of his reception, and frankly the case
seems 10 us very barrassDg one. Perhaps Will be
submitted to Congress- We shall how they will get out

tythe same which Mr.. Corwin repreeents-refused to
ratfy the treaty OF Mcane, which favorable at
the time to the liberal cause, the main ground that
the treaty had been made by govern ment whose au
thority did not extend the whole This argu-
the authority OF Mr. Lincoln Ia certainly very far from
reaching over the whole Of the country which once
formed The confederation OF the United States This rea
sonng Is strengthened BY other considerations
