the encroachments of the great Re
public upon the divine institution of
kingcraft. If all this is true, we shall
ere long have business with our plea
SAINT neighbors of the province
We have had several reports of late
to the effect that the indomitable
Juarez had shaken Mexican dust from
the soles of his feet and quit the coun-
try. He keeps turning again, how
ever, and we rather guess he has no
idea of quitting yet. We guess the
reports originate from the pressing
desire of Mr.. Max. to have him leave,
Our Government has not recognized
Maximilian or any of his agents.
The fact must be deemed highly sig
nlficant. What is the Government
waiting for if it intends to acknow-
ledee Max? We don't believe it de-
s o give any countenance to this
Aus ~ usurpation in Mexico, and
we l it will not.
Mr.. Seward, in his late Auburn
speech, made very pointed and I'M
mistakable allusion to this Mexican
question, from which we quote as fol-
lows:
With whatever jealousy we may ad-
here to our inherited principle of
avoiding entangling alliances with
foreign nations, the United States
must continue to exercise, as always
before our civil war they did exercise,
a just and benefcent influence in the
international conduct of foreign
States, particularly those which are
near to us on the continent, and which
are especially endeared to us by their
adoption of republican institutions.
Applause: The just influence of
ours was impaired, as ought to have
been apprehended by the American
people, when tney fell into the distrac-
tions of civil war. With the return of
peace, it is coming back to us again,
IN greater strength than ever. I am
sure that this important interest has
not been lost sight of by the President
of the United States for q single mo-
ment, and I expect that we shall see
republican institutions, wherever they
have been heretofore established
throughout the American continent,
speedily vindicated, renewed, and re-
invigorated. [Applause.] When I
shall see this progress successfully
worked out on the American CONT
nent, shall then look for the signs
of its successful working throughout
the other continents.
Mr.. Seward undoubtedly under
stands the views of the President in
reference to this embroglio, and the
plainness of the language he has used
was probably meant to give the coun-
try an inkling of them.
When Gen Forey invaded Mexico
at the head of French army, Napo-
leon, for once in his life, threw off all
disguise and said cquivocally that the
United States must not be permitted
to exercise predominant influence in
America. That was when the per-
sonage at the Tuilleries thought the
"Confederacy'' IN .faH accomph. He
did not doubt it for moment. He
thought Mr.. Slidcll's concern would
establish its independence without
any assistance from him Of the Tuil-
leries, and so he let slip the opportune
moment for aiding Messrs. Sliden &
Co. and Messrs. Max & Co. at the
same time
We think the Austrian will be dis
appointed in his expectations of
assistance from the Soulful he en-
tertains any--to aid him i'll propping
up bloody throne That has never yet
been established in Mexico Or ac-
knowledged in any proper way by the
Mexican people
he is clearly usurper, without the
slightest claims, directly or indirectly,
to be the governor of the country
whose people he is engaged in arrest
ing, plundering and numbering.
We trust the President of the
United States, in his message to Con
gress, Will take firm, Identified Anne
