Tae South responding to the above senti-
ment acted on Mr.. Greeley's suggestion. but
vast majority of the people, recognizing the
value of the Union, said to Mr.. Davis, You
shall not go out" and hence the present war.
The X. G. c. took issue with both Mr..
Greeley and Mr.. Davis We said, Republi-
canism in America has far higher mission
than the education of the three or four mill
lions Of negroes, whom everybody is sorry
were ever brought from their own scorchiag
sandhills, Obey the Bible and the Constitu-
ton and al the errors Of Americanism will
correct themselves like fermepting liquid.
From our political organization, and tho
greater population Of the free States, you Of
the North for the sake Of power will contin-
ue to Use the negro question until the South
will IL self-dcfencc bo compelled to quit your
association, from which moment the disin-
cgration OF Amcrican&m must begin. To
prevent this We must acquire territory on our
Southern border, wick will so increase the
political power of the South as to render 1t
impossible for you to seriously threaten the
constitutional rights Of the Slave States, and
since ne such thing as disunion can then oc-
our Americanism will purify itself. The
peon system of Mexico is in sufficient SYM
pathy with the interests of the South to har-
monize thcm, and thus enable US to perpetu-
ate our Government. and with the appliances
Of modcrn invention We can govern and con
troll the empire of the people with more ease
than Washington governed the original Union.
Tho X. G.. Q. is. therefore, the only real
Union measure likely to answer the purpose
yet presented to the public. @ E
The FIRST step in this scheme was the over
throw of the corrupt military systems Of Mex

Constitution Of 1857 was adopted, and Benito

and in defiance Of the oft-repeated declarations
of the United States Government to protect
and foster the American Republics, has firmly
planted Latin Monarchy in Republican
Mexico. And, though engaged in grcst

as soon as we can. but VIC have had time to
assure Louis Napoleon that he shall meet
with no opposition TO his imperial projects in
the New World. Let history judge between
the K. G.. c., which helped establish Con-

One year before the opening Of the present
war, a movement of X. g. c. cmigrants took
place to ward Mexico. Quite a number as
sembled in Texas, and others entered tho
country where they still arc. but the sudden
opening Of hostilitics in the United States
compelled suspension Of the movement, and
since June, 1861, have neither taken any
action in public events, nor in my official ca
pacity as President of the X. G. c., inter
ferred with American politics. The suppose
ton that l would do SO has. no doubt, led the
Government to have me arrested, but the
only action was likely to take, or that would
be consistent with my official position uabuld
have been to have carried sufficient force to
Mexico to maintain the Government of 1857.

for neither the Administration of Mr.. Pierce
or tina. Of Mr. Buchanan ever objected to the
X. G.. G. rendering any service to Mexico,
net inconsistent with treaty -stpulations. and

Americauism not despair, for our cause il

when the proper moment arrives. the flag that
bears the emblems of the K. G G will be
