national government OF Mexico call upon
1t for assistance, it will probably afford it,
although, with the temper and disposition OF
our people, there will scarcely be any neces-
sity fdf its taking that step. There will be
nearly million OF discharged soldiers on our
hands, for whom employment Of some kind
must be found II will not be difficult for
some enterprising adventurer-and we have
many such among us-to induce large mum
Der OF these TO undertake filibustering expe-
dition into Mexico. There are many OF the
Southern rebels, too who, finding their occu-
patton gone, would desire no better revenge
for their European disappointments than to
assist In driving the French from that country.
All that our government would have to DO
would be to observe the laissez .fdae policy,
and thus, without its leading to embroilments
or expense, that desirable object would be
attained. Such are the prospects that Maxi
