the very outset His main argument was
that, in case the Z. 3. Government succeed.
ed in suppressing the rebellion, the popu
lstipg of Sonors with Southerners would
establish an effectual barrier against the
incursions OF the everlasting Yankees iato
Mexican territory. But the Emperor hesi-
tated, as we'll he might, to entrust the mos
valuable portion Of bis territory to such
precarious keeping. rightly judging that
the hrst encroachuents would be more
likely to proceed from these very immi

proposi'ioo, being exceedingly anxious ia
