xAxlxlLIAS leaves Q most unthrifty, e.
pNcious, disorderly, and fsctious people,
whom he ,vainly stsived to improve, and
very seasibly seeks that peace and relief
from care which were incompatible with
the unhappy position he occupied In Mexi-
cor That turbulent and ever restless State
loses very good opportunity 70 be wisely
and, kindly governed. 1t loses, In fact. tho
bess government 1t has had since the day
Of IruRBIDE. MACMILLAN was not only
humane and wise, but he was practical
and energetic. His policy looked TO the
physical as well ~ moral Improvement, Of
Mexico. He proposed to construct i'm
provements and develop tho rich re-
sources Of the country. His policy would
have made her . great nation, with re-
sources proportioned to the abundance OF
her mineral wealth.
In what condition does no leave that
country Is there anything like union and
harmony amongst those who sought to ex.
pei him' And is there any hope that they
will give peace and order to the nation
So far from this, there are no less than four
factions struggling to get posses
sion Of the Government. The United
Ststes declares in favor Of JUAREz, and has
iptimated determination to support bis
authority. The moment the United States
takes upon itself that friendly relation, the
of Mexico is at an end. Her
Government becomes Province or Sa-
trapy, and her President viceroy or
satrap, holding his authority from the pro-
tecting government. In return for their
loss of independence, they may have order
by military authority; they may have their
mines worked by Yankees, their commerce
conducted by Yankees, and their carrying
trade given up to Yankee ships. They may
work or they may idle, but they will be
forced to be quiet, and Yankees will pocket
all the profit and wealth that can be made
out Of them and their country. It will be
indeed consolation if the partisan wars Of
the rival chieftains which have so long de.
vastated Mexico are in this way ended; but
upon q calculation as to whether Mexico
will be better of under the protectorate
than she would have been under maxi
MILAN, we imagine they will doubt whether
they gain much by the exchange. i-ss
What the United States Government
will make by assuming this relation time
must tell. Believing that 1t has quite
enough to do to preserve peace and order
and justice at home, and that the attempt
% regulate other peoples affairs when it
cannot compose its own will probably open
new sources of trouble and discord, we
hink the day is not distant when 1t will
DO found that "the greatest nation in crea:.
ion" will not be better off by taking
Mexico under Its protection.
