As though unhappy Mexico was not already
sufficiently troubled with mixed and mongtel
rnces, Maximlian has issued an order holding
ont Inducements 10 persons be calls emigran t.
10 induce other, persons he calls laborers il
co nsidcrable numbers, and establishing fol
these "laborers " condition Of serfdom or
peonagc. They are TO be slaves for sterm o
years--with the name OF freemen of course
their children are to be held to service 10 the
patron, until they are Of age, the unhappy la
oorer is Inherited like other property.
Under cover OF preiepded love of liberty
this order of Napoeou's agents introduces a
system of slavery in Mexico; and in connection
with il holds out inducements for the intro
duclioB on this continent of great numbers oI
Africans Chinese, Maluys, &c. This has long
been q favorite projsct ofths French Emperori
hut il is not conducive to the Welt re of the
United States, or of the people OF Nortt
America. We do not want TO see this country
overruu with barbarous Africans and Asiatics
Maximillian is becoming an unbearab'e uni
saDce. He will have to be abatedi in tse
general interest of the whole continent. No!

post for the rubbish Of all nation aud races
gathering place for hordes of ignorant and

to get out of Mexico.

We aro not among those Cruel ealing
patrot. who belive that the Monroe doc
d inc is good thing for Fourth of Jolly
blowers but is TOO much 40 abstraction
for governmental policy. This farce Of
an empire, founded by bastard and trai
torous emperor, by means of a three
cent Austrian duke, on our borders, has
been run on the boards long enough
1t is q nuisance and ought 10 be abated. =.
The quickest way is the best. We do not

continued insult and premedialed injssy 10

affairs of ous rebellion, aud this is, one
OF its results 1t is time we took hold of
the matter and kicked the Franco Austrian
usurper off the contnuent. Louis Napo
leon is putting 90 too many airs unless he
confues 1 iem TO Europe. IT is burning
disgrace to this couury that it allows an
upstart Ike him 10 stick under our noses
the stencil of a European monarchy, with
the avowed, or at least, the apparent pnr.

institutions on this continent Hs aud

There may be something in q, remark
made by Secretary Seward in his Auburn
speech lsst week that "he expected 10 see
Republican institutions wherever they have
buen heretofore established throughout the
American continent, speedily vindicated
and reinvigo-ated.
There appears to be little doubt that
Juarcz has left Mexico. At least the
telegraph announces that Maximilan
officially declares that fact. If this is true
it may be too late for this government to
exert any Influence in favor of the republic.
Organized resistance withou. o recogni zed
head is simply impossible. and if Jaarez
has left Mexico it may be conceded that
the struggle on the part Of the Mexican
Republic is at an end-Eru Disp Itck
