DIR DUTY TO MEXICO.

II seems very much as II the mueh-veGed
country of Mexico will settle its own affairs,
provided we do not attempt to settle them for
it. The Empire of Mexico is one of those po-
litical adventures in which the only chance of
success il in the mistakes. ofits opponents. We
regard it very much as we regarded tho parti'
ton of Poland, the di'membermont Of Cracow,
to be near neghbors, and, therefore, our opin-
ions arc more earnest and impressive, just
As they would be If robber entered an ad.
ioining mansion, and not one in another
part of the town. Without introducing
the Monroe Doctrine, or applying the
opinions of Secretary Of State Of @ pas! genera
ton to events Of the present day, we may sug-
gest that, as America regarded the occupation OF
Mexico as q menace to the United States, made
in our day of weakness, when We were Grip
pied by a formidable rebellion, we are no
friends Of that movement. We do not discuss
the origin of the French occupation; the con-
tract with England and Spain; the violation OF
that contract; the stern war; the introduction
of Austrian and Belgian mercenaries; the at
tempt to colonige from the Southern States; the
intrgues with Texas; the brutal deerees OF re-
taliation and determination, which presumcs
upon the weakness Of Imperial power TO make
their war assassination. These are matters for
Mexico TO decide. We look on, but il would
not yex us greatly to see the republican leader
triumph, and tire adventurous MaXimili0n re-
turn to his Austrian palace.
While this may be our wish, weean do nothing
more. The very way for us to help Maximilia-
is TO oppose him. We must remember that the
whole Mexican business is unpopular in Franco;
that the 6nanciers do not care to spend money
on fancy expeditions; and that il will not d. to
raise loans to keep an Austrian Duke on stolen
throne What has France gained by this No
territory. no money, no fame. Those who know
anything Of the Bonaparte conscience, may feel
assured that Bonaparte will do nothisg with.
out some recompense, and that only so far as
Mexico strengthens she throne will Mexico bt
cherished. With the meddlesonlsness Of ths
much-contriving Emperor, we fnd him. IS w

Since il is Of grave Importance that our citl-
zons should understand the main issue TO be de-
cided by our approaching Charter Election, we
have chosen to copy above from yesterdays
Times the whole of its article on this subject.
II orr view is mistaken, We wish our City
readers to see our error and act according; ii
we are right, we ask them TO go with ~, heart
and soul.
"The Citizens Association is composed OF
a large number Of resident taxpayers, very few
Of whom either hold or wish to hold any office,
appointment, or personally advantageous con.
nection with any government, National, State,
or Municipal. Individually they are Repub-
licans, Democrats, Unionists, or og no party,
as the case may be; collectively, they know no
politics and no party, but are associated for the
single, ayowed, aud sufficient purpose ol
achieving or securing reform in our Municipal
administration. The idea which has brought
them together and snmates their efforts is this;
"Oar Citu should be gOpernsd for its o,cn sake,
and not ia the interest or under tho control Of any
National or State panty. Instead of undertak'
ing TO wind up the sun and regulate the course
of the planets, our citizens who want an hon
est, frugal, faithful administration, in the III.
terest of Morality and Public Order, regardful
of the pockets of the taxpayers. must unite 10
elect Charter Officers, irrespective of the polit'
ical differences which may array them against
each other at State and National Elections"
The Citizens Association has presented the
names of JOHN HEcKER for Mayor and RICHARD
'OGoAMAN for Corporation Counsel The
former is Republican the latter Democrats
but both are heartily in favor Of the reform
which the Association aims at. Neither desires
any conccalmont of his political views nor seeks
to belittle or apologize for them. We nope MI
