weaker brought in conflict, there Is alternative
but and extcrminaton else subsection and pro-

yielding fruit whose seed was itself aftr kind
and God created great whales and every living creature
that moveth which the brought forth abundant

and God the beast Of the Garth after his kind and
cattle after their kind and everything that crecpeth

such was the original creation BY mans transgression

as all things created after their Kind, tie

that the aborg the North had lrshed before the

Of the American States To the idea that the Scith wish
TO acquire Mexico for the purpose of extending slavery
into Mexico Mr. Green replied that the south cannot
auire Mexico without the consent OF the North, which
consent IL is believed tho North will not give, unless be
for the purposeas avowcd by Mr. Wade aud others of
making war upon tie present system Of labor in Mexico,
cxtermnatng the Indians OF Mexico they have cxter
minated the Indians Of New England. Mr. Green read
extract OF letter addressed by him to Lord John Rus
sell in 1858, az follows
ssrere seems 10 be impression IN England and cspe
cay among the creditors Of Mexico, that tho United
States desire to Mexico and some look 70 annexa
