garded by the Emperor Of the French a. an
open cause Of war. This Is an entirely prepos-
ferrous idea We know our international rights
IS well as the French government knows theirs
and we warn the ruler of the French at once
that he is treading on dangerous ground, and
that unless he recedes from his rnwarrantable
position his persistence will only end in further
disaster and disgrace to the arms of the
empire. The United States government 10 true
to its principles its traditions and its great
destiny, and these it will maintain In defiance
of the Vaccinations and envy of the combined
nations Of the globe.
We therefore call upon the Senate to take up
the new Mexican treaty and ratify It without
delay. If we would appear honorable and dig
nifed In the eyes Of other nations, we must do
so at once. We are aware that there are some
petty lobby influences being vigorously used
for the rejection of the treaty. But these must
not be regarded, as they are prompted by the
private interests of some mean and obscure
journals, which thus dishonorably seek to bring
grist to their mill. The true design Of these
hungry and miserable sheets Is to affect an op-
position to tho treaty, which will lead to their
being bought of for q small sum Of ready
money. In other terms, It is black mail
movement; for there are whole nests OF these
despioabls fellows-black mailers Of the low
est order-Hoating about the national capital
and the legislative halls. The people Of Anne
RIGA are warmly in favor Of the Mexioans and
are ready to give them every support in their
heroic struggle for the preservation of repub-
lican institutions. Congress should second
these noble views Of our people, and confirm
the new treaty at once, despite of the opposi-
ton Of these petty lobbyers, SO that the French
may be hurled out Of Mexico, and the nation
ality Of that country be henceforth respected
by all the nations of the world. We will thus
show to Louis Napoleon and to his British al
lies that we know how to take care of our
selves, - we'll as Of onr Mexican neighbors. We
fear no danger from European designs or pur-
poses. We are now nearly ready for them, let
them assail how or when they may; but we
would at the same time seriously impress upon
Congress not to neglect our Mexican friends,
we'll wishers and neighbors, in this their ex-
tremity; for on the result Of their contest with
the French will greatly depend the future wei
fare of our own country.
The Cooper Institute Union Meeting To-
Night and tho Politicians.
The abolition journals continue their cry
against the Union meeting to be held this
evening at the Cooper Institute, laboring un-
der the hope Of making it as small and con-
temptible an sf.ir a. were the several
gatherings under the auspices Of the Emancipa-
ton League. TO accomplish this they are
trying to connect several politicians with it as
the instigstors and the power behind the scenes,
and thus prove to the public that 1t is traitor
GUS gathering. Tho meeting was not got up by
the parties they charge it upon, and the names
Of Reverdy Johnson, John J. Crittenden, ex-
Governor Wicklife, and Garlic, of Virginia, a.
speakers, all ardent supporters Of the Presi-
dent in the prosecution Of the war, do not
look as though It is to be anything but what It
is pretended Union and administration
gathering. We are also informed that the
resolutions are In favor Of a vigorous prosecu-
ton of tho war, and fully endorse the conserva-
i've policy Of the President, approve Of his
modinoctlon Of Fremont's Missouri proclama-
ton and the revocation Of General Hunters
order; Furthermore, that they sustain Generals
Mcclellan and Halleck, end denounce the abo-
ltlonists, radicals and Congressional and news
paper generals for interfering with the plans Of
the former.
There is no doubt that there will bs
great deal Of useless trash In the resolutions, ~
there always Is In those Of every political gath
ering; but II they keep to the original tone
marked out as above there is no doubt Of ito
success. The abolitionists and radicals Of the
Greeley, Wilson and Sumner school need not
expect any sympathy in that quarter.
The people of this city-at least ninety nine
hundredths Of them-fully and heartily endorse
the conservative policy Of President Lincoln.
They have exhibited their appreciation by the
quick response on every call for troops, in the
prompt pouring out of their treasure, even
whom the national credit was on q downward
tendency, and in every form that they could
possibly express their approval Of the course
Of the President They who expect to get up
meeting in this city on any other basis but
that Of approval Of the President will find an
empty hall and but few hearers.
We dare say that some Of the old political
stageu will endsavor to divert this meeting
tom the channel marked out by its originators,
and tur Il 1t into political machine 10 advance
their own private schemes; but none Of those
who have any apprc collation. Of the scne Of the
public mind here will presume to pfacs in
the resolutions a word Of disapprovsl Of the
straightforward and conscientious course of the
President, and We have no doubt that those
in attendance will defeat all efforts to make
party or personal movement out Of the meet
ing. The issues for the coming election arc
