Emixrntion 70 Mexico.

There is really, in many parts Of the coun-
try, quite Juror growing upon the sub
ject of emigration to Mexico. What it means
precisely. is not proclaimed from the house
top, but that the movement is not friendly to
French domination in that country, is at
least an admissible inference. The Phila-
delphia Press has some shrewd speculations
on the subject, as follows:
1t is very evident that the valuable region
Of the country known as Mexico occupies a
very considerable share of attention. Sever
al organization are being perfected in this
city, all apparently acting usder Que head.
Similar movements are made in the city of
New York, having the same object in view
There Is some publicity given to the efforts
at organization, and report says that large
numbers of returned soldiers. refugees, re-
pentant rebel soldiers, and other persons OF
civil professions are swelling the lists daily
with their names. 1t is reported that these
men intend emigrating to Mexico as soon as
possible, but for what purpose We cannot as
certain from an authentic source. There is
considerable outside talk of desire TO en-
force the Monroe doctrine in the mot sum-
mary manner,
=
city of New \ ork alone have already enrol
led themselves, and the business seems almost
amounting to a Juror. A gentleman accred
tied with power arrived in Phi adelphia on
thursday OF last week, and he has already
put the BALL IN rnotion-so it is currently re-
ported-and the result L. much ACTIVITY pre-
walls, though conducted on the prineipls of
"still waters run deep" 1, is stated that the
emigrants are wanted to progress with aud
perfect modern Improvements incident with
the march of civilization. Large railroads
and extensive manufactures and immense
mining explorations are talked about.
There is nothing said about rifle manufac.
tories nor saltpetre. Perhaps these additions
may not be wanted as the emigrants will be
armed with the most modern improvements
in deadly weapons, to be used as occasion
may require There is much mystery con-
nected with the movement but the idea of
the Monroe doctrine seems to lie decidedly
popular. Even some of the detectives who
have been in Mexico are rather shy in con.
versation on the subject, but they should be
delighted to visit that place once more"
All they say Is the movement is "big thing
and "sufficint to the day is the evil thereof
This is equivocal language, accompanied
with sly winks, mods, &c, may be considered
significant of something, not desirable a. the
present time to be made public.
In connection with this affair, We hear of
parties who desire to visit Mexico by water
instead Of overland. Seventy men, who have
seen sea and naval service, are already Or
gained, and the commander is a gentleman
truly loyal, once in the service, stationed IN
forei i u waters. 1t is also limited that vessels
are being or will be fitted out at Baltimore
and manned by hardy crews. Our large
cities are now over populated, and as it is
likely the number will be swelled to al al.
most indefinite extent in few moths, it is
thought proper BY the snterprising gentle nan
engaged in the emigrant movement to pre-.
pare an outlet at once through which the
tide of population may readily flow. Incident
to this movement, there will be quite de-
mand for some OF the United States vessels,
to be sold to the highest bidder, in q short
time.
