Mexican advices, by President Juarcz oil Mox-
leo. He has been urged, not only by leading
Mexicans, but by the representatives OF several
South American Republics, to form a CONT
mental alliance, embracing the Repubiios Oh
Chill, Peru, Colombia, the Argentine Coincide
ration. San Salvador, Honduras, Costa Kica,
Nicaragua and Mexico for the purpose OF resist
ing European cncroachmcnts upon Mexico or
any South American Republic. An invitation
is to be extcirdcd to the United States to CO.
operate in Che movement.
1t may be doubted whether, at the present
moment, an efficient organization for such
purpose can be created. Nearly all the States
of Latin America are weak and frequently sub
jected to the devastation of civil war; the
financial resources Of most Of them are in q very
bad condition. and they have not yet proved
their ability to call into the field any consider
able number of troops. The distances of their
several territories from each other are immense,
and it is doubtful whether in case of foreign
wars, much aid could be derived by an invaded
State from the allied countries. An alliance,
moreover involves for every partner grave re-
sponsibities, and the propriety will at once
suggest itself to every invited State to subject
the plan to the most thorough scrutiny before
adhcring to it. -.
1t is plain, however, on the other side, than thc
American States have a community Of interest
to which il would be well that each should
pay greater attention than has been hitherto
the case. Thus it's undoubtedly Of the greatest
advantage to every American State, that Euro
pcan rule shall not be extended over the Amer-
can continent, reducing American States to the
condition of European colonies; that the im-
meuse resources Of each American State be de-
vcopcd that the intercourse between the
several States be promoted; that free institu-
tions be made more and more perfect and be
fortified against external and internal dangers.
II, Immediately after the independence of the
States of Latin America was established, Free
Conferences of all the American Republics had
been organized, hot for binding themselves
oyeryerlastngly by treaties and alliances,
but for delibcrating on such interests
a. are or ought to be common to all the inhablt-
ants of the American continent, might not a
great deal of good have been achieved by them
Would not ways and means have been sought
and therefore. probably been iound-ior putting
a stop to the frequency Of civil warsl Would
not probably The greater intercourse OF Latin
America with the United States have made the
former participant 20 a higher degree than has
been the case. Of the great material prosperity
and progress Of the latterl Free conferences
would not have been at variance with the policy
Of non.nievcn'ion which the authority Of the
fir, President has almost raised among Us TO
the dignity Of an article Of faith.
Tho numerous Congresses which have since
been lcld among the States of Europe have m
douhi,dly contributed very largely TO the pro-
rrcs, - political science. and to the education
Of great Statesmen in Europe They are lesson
which American statesmen ought no. 10 ignore
We know a. set nothing Of The plan Of an ALI
aucc which the States Of Latin America mean To
propose and 20 any such alliance An Amer.
can. and every staicsman, would be- slow 90
commit himself But free conferences would in
yoiyc their participants in no greater danger
than of having embarked IN an abortiyc enter
pr q; while. on the other hand, il can hardly
DE- denied that. under the control of cmincnt
stat, men, they might iead TO most important,

take iha, direction will o. least do no harm, and
may do much GOOD.
