How are we 70 guarantees tho exs,snce Of our
men aganst reprsals Of the Juarss placed outside the
law By Official proclamation and me partisans o. whom
have been summary shots 1t would certainly be very
much 70 be regretted that the heldes OF the Mexican
loans should lose in whole In part their Investment in
chances Of play. That thoss who have furnished or
~ equivalent should loss the two hundred and ATTY mil
lions which Mexico owes u would be very sad but after
approved by the deputies whom the contributors elected
What would b terrible would be the massacre Of our
army evacuating Mexico would be LEFT as hostages
IN the hands Of the exaspersted Juarists Now the only
nssns Of saving them they are msnssed as the
are, V 70 place them under the guarantee Of treaty
concluded between France and national government
Does tho government Of Maximian who cannot even
defend himself, present sufficient guaranteesS Evil
IDENTITY not and besides, u has just taken away from
ITSELF the means Of existence There Is no necessity Of
our occupying ourselves further with II.
There remain three republican chefs-Santa Anna,
Ovtega and Juarez Can We treat with Santa Anna sns
ancient head OF tho conservative party?
Overthrow by the liberal party absent from Mexico
for many years Santa Anna no longer has any repus
1s rS
governed with mon OF that stamp, and need not have
boon obliged 10 seek for his min sters among the liberal
party. The Presidency of Santa Anna would be then
an anti-national and cphomeral Presidency, which
would Furnish US with no real guarantees.
General Oricga to the confidence Of the Mexicanse Wse
guarantee OF stability would his government prosentf
1t would DO that Of Jusrez without his popularity
There remains then only Juarez Say and think what
we please about Juarez il is the less true, that in
Mexico he is popular The proof OF this is that notwith-
standing efforts in spite of excellent soldiers he
has held the field for four years After the departure OF
Macmillan his will be the sole constituted power.
Why then can we not treat with himf Attaining power,
upon the ruins OF the conservative party Jarez has
given proof OF frmncss perseverance, which We must
depors as IL has been very unfortunate for the designs
Of France but which, from his point Of view is very
honorable In country where problty is an uncommon
virtue we have heard his probity attacked, and
after having decided upon the sale OF the clerical prop
erty, he Was the only one who did not profit by the
operation TO which this sale gave opportunity Again.
At the time wen during the siege OF Pueba the popu
ation OF Mexico loudly demanded at time the mas
sacre at another the expulsion or theoFrench residents
Il was he and he alone, who saved counrymen from
death Rnd ruin. France combated him with ardor leng
"a she believed int duration Of the empire This
duty ~ II necessary that II should defend the gov
crnment which 1t hsd established But the dav when
recognise that the establishment OF monarchy In Mexico
will demand too heavy sacrifices --the day when maxi
milan disengages BY his abdcation-what serious
reason have for not treating with the government Of
JnareSg That day only duty will be 10 to
understanding with the government which presents the
most guarantees Of continuation Now government
offers more than that which has lasted four years spite
01ethe intervention.
Let 10 then cast aside all secondary considerations
ond II tho empire to fall let not hesitate to adopt
the only reasonable course This course once adopted
wO may b. certain that will obtain from Juarez all
the desirable concessions; and In any No will have
assured the ves Of our countrynen whom JuRex alone
Is probably sufficiently influential 70 eicacicusly protest.
