mr. Relations with Foreign Powers.
In regard to our policy toward foreign
powers after the present rebellion shall
have been suppressed, the San Francisco
Call remarks as follows:
MANY persons are already specializing
upon the possible or probable events that
are necessarily to follow the finishing acts
of the rebellion. Some prophesy war
with Great Britain, believing that her
course pursued toward the United States
during the present war, allowing pirate
ships to be built, fitted out, armed and
manned by Britons their supplying the
rebels with munitions of war, and their
abuse of us as people, of our Govern
ment End its institutions, sufficient cause
for war. But we do not anticipate this.
The commercial and other trade relations
between the two nations are OF too much
Importance to allow resort to arms I'M
less England's unfriendly course should
be persisted in. British statesmen and
British merchants know full well that from
the time that a war with the United States
should be commenced, British commerce
would be swept from the ocean much
more effectually and thoroughly than ours
has been by the rebel pirate ships through
British aid. In view of this contingency
there can he no doubt that England will
be desIrous of avoiding a war with the
United States as long as it can be done
with honor. On the other hand, it may
be safely assumed that our Government
will not force war upon Great Britain.
Many of our people think that the chances
of war with France are much stronger.
The French Government has not, it is
true, rendered such open aid and comfort
to the rebel cause as has England, but Ma
poleon is well understood to have been at
heart quite as warm friend to it, though
his policy has been wiser, or at least more
cautious. But he has seized the occasion
of our troubles to violate one of our most
cherished and popular national sentiments
the Monroe doctrine--and under the
lying plea of seeking merely indemnifca-
ton for alleged wrongs in the delay OF
payments by Mexico claimed to be due
French subjects, has taken the opportu-
nifty to overthrow the republican Govern
ment of neighboring and friendly ma
ton, and to erect instead despotism I'M
der a member of one of the vilest royal
families of Europe, whose unrestricted
power is to be sustained by the bayonets
of foreign hireling soldiery. This act is
a pointed declaration against the Ameri-
can doctrine long ago proclaimed, and IS
little, if anything, short of a national in
suit. Herein, perhaps, may be found an
answer to the question proposed. Our
people have not acquiesced in the act OF
the Mexican usurpation, and recently our
Congress has very explicitly indicated its
sentiments by a declaration that there
shall be no recognition of the Govern
ment of Macmillan. This Franco-Mexi-
can question may not lead to declara-
ton that there shall be no recognition OF
the Government Of MACMILLAN. This
Franco Mexican question may not lead to
a declaration of war against Napoleon or
Macmillan by the United States Govern
ment. That may not be a necessity. The
Hapsburger may not be brushed out OF
Mexico with such a formal expulsion.
For when the present war is over, there
will be some hundreds of thousands of
soldiers, Northern and Southern, out of
employment. Suppose some ambitious
military leader, like General Quitman,
when alive, puts his thoughts, his face and
his steps toward Mexico, saying, "boys,
follow me-" In the six Mexican States of
Lower California, Sonora, Chihuahua,
Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.
there is room for base Of operations, and
there are plenty of Mexicans friendly to
such a movement, to secure the initiatory
preparations. Herein may be found the
answer TO the question asked herein en-
ployment for our discharged soldiery.
They could march to the City of Mexico
in spite of all the Napoleons and Maxi
milians that tyranny can produce.
