France, Mexico and the United c
- States. {
The course Of European Governments dur
ing our civil war, has demonstrated TO us tnat
the security of the American Republics
against foreign invasion and conquest, de-
pends alone upon their own power, and that
the safety Of each is bound up in the integrity
of all. We have seen with what alacrlty
England welcomed the Southern rebellion,
and at once assumed that the Southern Con-
federacy was established. Her leading states
men openly avowed their desire for the dis
solution of this nation Prominent represen-
tatives of the ruling classes declared the South
was fighting England battles She gave the
rebellion the moral aid of her sympathy, ana
of the expectation of her recognition ohe
seized upon the Trent case as an opportunity
for war, refused in advance all negotiation or
arbitration, and ordered her heet TO tne
American coast She assumes virtue upon
! lher not having directly interviewed to defend
tho gohfeaef6o md she has given us apnIs
-this but for The iirm belief that its success was
sure without her direct aid
Promptly upon the outbreak Of the rebel
! lion the French Emperor proposed to Eng,
' land an alliance to enforce the division OF
this nation and establish the Southern Con-
federacv. The ulterior consequences OF that
we may know by the habits of this imperial
T. robber, who never iltervenes in foreign ma
+ tionalities without taking share for his plum,
q der. His emissaries Immediately instituted
i intriques for the severing Of Texas from the
q Coufederacy, and annexlng it to France An
q expedition Of the Allied Powers, made osten-
:. silly to enforce payment Of certain CLAIMS
. AGAINST the Republic of Mexico was, upon
Il the outbreak of our civil war, by the French
/. Emperor, who was the only one Of the three
mowers that had no honest claim against
Mexico, changed into scheme for the con
quest of the Mexican Republic, and the sub
I. lection of it to the condition of Frenct
In his letter to General Forey he avowet
oft the main object Of this conquest to be th'
y setting up Of barrier against the growth o
10 the United States, and the restoration OF tn
,s ascendency of the Latin race in America
10 u. thus procaiming his treachery to the aiile
~ ~, whom he had first drawn into the Mexica
~ expediton, and av6wing it's hostility to thl
Nv w country and disclaiming any pretense OF e'
'n cuse in seeking the welfare OF the MeXlca

,rth ah The rapacity of Spain was also excited
