Tic Ncu YORK Ir36unc o., the
U0a1oc D0ctr5ue.-Maximilian is in
Mexico; We wish he was not, and
cannot doubt that on this point his
own wishes as Well as his patrons
accord heartily with ours. But he
cannot gracefully back out, nor can
his patron serve him with notice to
quit. He Will hardly like to have
US undertake that duty. But what
he can do, and what we think our
government might agree to do, is to
let Mexico henceforth alone. There
is Juarez; there are the people
What we suggest as fair and lust
arrangement among outsiders is that
We hencetorth let Mexico alone, qua
ranteeing her independence against
external pressure, and saying to her
chiefs and people Fight out your
differences if you cannot peacefully
adjust them; we will aid neither,
bnt recognize the victor and estab.
fish friendly relations with him. -
Meantime, some Of our disbanded
soldiers may struggle iuto Mexico
and partially Offset Max's Belgian
and Austrian levies but let France
withdraw her regiments while our
government agrees not to send any,
and there can be no occasion for any
new war. If the Mexicars like
Max's rule, let them enjoy it; if they
choose to be rid of it, let them throw
it off. Let France and the United
States form ring and there can he
no doubt of fair play to the end of
the struggle. Aud what better tri-
hunat can be found or formed for this
dispute than one composed Of the
Mexicans themselves
We are most anxious that our coun-
try shall honorably and properly
avoid the complications, the burdens,
the perils of a European War, and
have endeavored to set forth basis
whereon such a calamity to civiliza
ton may be worthily avoided. L
any has better. let him bring it t.,

mg~ To THE VOTERS OF THE 7TH CONGRESS
sIoNAL DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA.. now com
nosed Of the counties of Alexandria, Fairfax,
Prince William, Fauquier, Loudoun, Clarke,
FELLOW Citizens AT the request OF numerous
citizens of the counties composing the 7th Con
gressional district I announce myself as q can
didate for q seat in the 39th Congress.
In doing so, it is hardly worth While TOT me TO
say that if elected and any member from Vlf-
ginia gets his seat, that | can. Having been al
ways loyal to the Government can with cneer-
fulness take the oath required for all memDers PER-
under the act of Congress approved July Z, .oZ
Article 1st, 5th Section Of the CONSTITUTION
provides that each House shall be the judge OF
the election returns and qualifications Of its
own members, It will thus be seen that Con
gress has the power under the Const!tutlon 70
Drescribe an oath, Itis not at all probable that
they will repeal it to oblige any member from
Virginia.
Fellow Citizens theshort time that now clap
ses before the day Of election will not permit me
to canvass the District to any great extent II at
all, nor is it perhaps needful that SHOULD 90
so. Peace has now come and it ought to pc
the object Of all good citizens to cultivate KIND
feelings towards each other. Should 1t be your
Measure to cast your suifrages for me / pledge
nvself to endeavor to be faithful Representa-
tive and to do all that lays in my power to
promote the best interest Of the OLD Common
wealth, and to pour oil on the troubled waters
