Immense Concentration of Troops in
New YOTk-That MaAyef be done
with Them.

y
with Them.
There are at present not less than thirty
thousand troops in garrison in this city.
They are here ostensibly to prevent the
resumption of riots during the draft
which is taking place; but we are inclin-
ed to suppose that other views are enter
tained as regards the services to he rem
dered by the veterans now collected here,
in such great numbers. The Admins
tration will soon have all the men it de-
sires. as. besides the draft, the volunteer.
ing system is still kept up, and numbers
join the army thus.
1t is more than likely now that ere the
lst Of January next. the rebellion will
have been crushed out. and it is possible
that our Government may contemplate
the sending of the large force which
will be kept here to suddenly seize upon
and hold the city Of Vera Cruz. should
the republicans of Mexico demand from
US this service. Our Administration
would be fully warranted in acting thus.
without in any way giving any previous
warning to the French, who would con-
sequently find themselves in a trap
Thirty or forty thousand of our best
troops, with a sufficient escort of IRON
clsds, could easily hold Vera Cruz
against any force inclined to attack them.
We are the natural guardians of the
Mexicans. and it is to our interest to
uphold them against any forced change
Of government, and we are bound to do
all in onr power to prevent the substitu-
tion of French empire for the Mexican
republic. The Monroe doctrine we must
fully vindicate.
The concentration of large force here
would render the undertaking to which
we refer quite feasible. 1t might be &C.
complished at any moment effactually
and quickly. and would. of course, put
an end to all the ambitious plans and
views of the Emperor Napoleon a. re-
CARDS this continent. Our administra-
ton is. of course. fully aware that. soon
er or later. we must take the Mexican
affair in hand, and it is likely that we
may do it sooner than al parties expect.
The end of the rebellion is now near ct
hand. and we shall find ourselves with
force of seven or eight hundred thousand
veteran troops. anxious for more service
and all quite willing aud resdy to give
lesson to the presumptuous Frenchmen
who have invaded our continent. After
having put down to rebellion, our troops
will have the glorious privilege Of driv-
ing from American soil those European
nations who have imagined that our fate
was sealed. and that they might with
impuuity insult the majesty of our great
republic. Our veterans will, at some
day not far distant. eHectuallv dispel
these erroneous impressions.-N p. Her.
