4 Lesson from Mexico,

We may be offended with the French
movement In Mexico, as contravening our
Monroe doctrine We may be alarmed bv
1t as menance, which it undoubtedly was
at the time OF its consum mmaton, and in view
OF the critical condition of our affairs at the
time. We may be astonished at its success.
few thousand foreign soldiers being able
to supplant an old government upheld by
eight millions of people, and to establish
over them an entirely new and different kind
OF government. And yetthere is something
more tor us to do, IN reference to this extra
ordinary movement. We could easily drive
the intrusive monarchy out of Mexico and
restore the republic. We could apply efec-
tually the Monroe doctrine, and never could
case more fitly claim such an application.
for the circumstances, the form and especial
ly the time of the foreign interference.
clearly betray its ultimate design.
But this is not what we mean Weshould
learn lesson of domestic political wisdom,
from the events that have taken place in
our sister republic. The ignorance and
weakness of the people there have made
them an easy prey to the invader The
same causes have, for many years, made
the people victims to the ambition of un
principled demagogues. They have been
harrassed with revolutions, till they have
become dlsgusted, finding that each revolu
ton reduced them to a worse condition than
its predecessor The hope of stability pre-
pared them to welcome the Empire
We should learn to prize and improve
popular intelligence and moral virtue. We
should cherish freedom of opinion. speech,
and conscience. We should hold to princi
pies, rather than to party; we should hold
demagogues at low estimation, and we
should stead astly and uniformly maintain
the majesty of the laws. Thus will our re-
public, by It's strength, be safe from all for
elgn aggressions, and safe from the greater
danger OF internal corruption, ambition and
strite.-RttsJ. Commercial

Spoiled Homes and Plans.


The successful termination of our civil
war has spoiled a number of great projects
The shareholders scheme for seperate and
rival government has been effectuallv frus
trated. The hope of European monarchists
and all the schemes connected with it, look
ing towards the failure of republican govern
ment and the ignominious overthrow Of its
great American representatives, have been
sadly disappointed. English manufactures
and English commerce still see their rivals
In the field, peacefully pursuing their on.
ward way with energy undiminished and
with hopes undimmed The French inter
est IN the issue of the war was more political
than pecuniary, as the prestige of power
outshone that of money In the Emperor's
eyes. The erection of an empire on the
ruins OF one feeble republic would offer ia
clllties, as we'll as inducements, for the ex-
tension OF the effort to another feeble renub-
lie on the Iorders of the first. The ipdeht-
ed, exhausted and exasperated confederacv.
ruled by an aristocracy that was practiced
IN the processes OF treachery. would be as
easy prey as Mexico. But this section of
the game is blocked by the issue of the war
and the maintenance of the Union Wheth-
er the first part shall prove finality and a
success remains to be seen. If the Monroe
doctrine shall always remain among abstrac-
tons, discovered from all practical applca-
tons. the thing may work well for monarchy.
But 1t may turn out otherwise.

Gsuscal Grant End tie Mexican Question.
The telegraph continues 10 furnish the
pubic with the views of General GRANT on
the Mexican question, and reporters, as if
they had a patent for all the knowledge ON
that subject, give US their individual assur
ances that what had been reported can be
relied on, and that they could tell great
deal more
Now all this is quite unnecessary. Cen
eral GRANT, while he does not seek to pub
lish his views to the world, makes no secret
of them He freely expressed them when
he was in Canada. He has repeated them
at different times and places since 1t is no
secret that he Is for vigorously enforcing
the Monroe doctrine in Mexico, that he in
tended to do so last spring, when he sen,
the large force to Texas, that he had par
ticular eye to the best and quickest way of
doing it when he sent SHERIDAN with the
troops and that he himself expected to take
a hand in the general management of the
job, that he still thinks it ought TO be done,
ard that the Government will speedily be
disposed TO take the same view of the sub
iect. General GRAcsr has good reasons TO
back up his view of the case, which he does
not withhold whenever he thinks it is prop
er to make them known.

Connecticut and Negro Suffrage.

The people of Connecticut have decided
against negro suffrage IN that State We
do not understand that the question was
not fairly put or that it was not fairly taken.
The verdict we suppose. registers the delib-
crate and enlightened Judgment of her vo-
ting population. The number of voters di-
rectly interested in the result is but few
hundreds at the most,-but its bearing on
the principle, in other States, is of the high
est Importance. We cannot help thinking
that for this reason, it was unfortunate that
the tr1al was made so soon after the ques-
ton came up. The action of Conn ecticut
Will be pointed to by every Southern State
OF whom negro suffrage is asked, in justif
cation OF us action denying the boon. If
the colored adult male reputation TO the
extent of only a few hundreds, in Connecticut
cannot be trusted with the ballot, why should
the coiored adult male population in the
South, where In some sections, it outnum-
bers the whites, be trusted with it? Are
the blacks In Connecticut less qualified than
the blaks In the Southern States? On the
contrary, they confessedly are vastly better
qualified, and vet Abolition Connecticut.
under circumstances well calculated to favor
friendly decision, have decided to contin-
ue TO exclude the colored men in that State
from the polls. To these arguments the
South will add,-show Us why we are more
bound than YOU are 10 give the negro the
ballot; show us that our negroes-are more
worthy OF 1t, more capable of using it, than
your own, ard we viii look at the reasons;
but as the question now stands we beg to
be excused,--in this respect we viii take

A POLISH SErrL EMENr IN TExAs.-It is
stated that an agent, appointed for the pur-
pose. has purchased thirty thousand acres
of land in Texas, for the establishment of a
colony of Poles. This tract is situated near
the town of Palestine, in the upper valley of
the Trinity, and is represented to be admi-
rably adapted for the culture of cotton and
cereals. The rich fields of the South, invit-
ing immigration and permanent settlement,
are rapidly taken mp, and the infusion of
new elements of strength and prosperity,
gives promise of substantial results.
