The Southern Literary Messenger for this

to abolish universal white suffrage. II de.

and openly avows the design of the rebels to
be to create Southern Republic, upon 4
white suffrage, limited to men of sufficient
property for annual subsistence upon the
usufruct! In other words, the policy of these
rebels is, to reduce society in the Slave States
to the fendai condition again, with African
Slavery for y oasis, and to adopt such legis-
lation as will compel the poor white man to
emigrate, and to condne the dominant class

Facts have just come to light which show
most conclusjvely that the English and
French governments,in utter contempt for the
great Monroe doctrine, are about to estab-
lish a protectorate over Mexico, and probably
taking advantage of our weakness at this
time, will secure permanent footing in the
Central American States. 1t will be remem-

Although Mexico owes the subjects of

But now, since the Union is disrupted, the

establishing PrOtectorate over Mexico, for
the ossensible purpose of collecting from that
government the large Indebtedness to them
and their people. The history of British and

be the final fate of Mexico under the protec-
