The italics are not mine, but those Of the Re

vclutionary leaders-not merely limited at In tneil
secret conclayes, but openly avowed to the worid

intense hostility which hear frequently expressed

pesceflIly settled to-day, there would DO fllibus-
ae,ipa parties on the Isthmus and in Mexico
within three months. But here is fatal objec-
zion to the extension of Slavery in that direction
which they quite overlook. african SIacery can
ssss flourish or ersn ezist permanently Mer-
sess population The Mexicans viii associate
freely with the negroes, intermarry with them,
Ind shield and aid them in running away. West
ern Texas affords good example of this. The
whole Rio Grande valley, on the Texan side, is
settlsd by Mexicans, and Slavery does not exist
tAsre az an institution. A friend who has spent
aAree years in New.Mexico assures me that the
same rule holds good there, and that that is the
nain reason why Slavery has obtained no gene
xL foothold in that Territory, after stringent
teGal protection for fourteen years. Slavery can
bet be permanently established in any Mexican
country without first exterminating or completely
sahjugating the natives.
