| in Difference to any declared wish or right of
the French peopiie, but merely in Difference
to one Of the French Emperor's ideas.
We must stand aside because Napoleon
has been led to Mexico by a "grand idea,"
though that idea finally may DO no better than
the one that formerly led the same person to
Boulogne with tame eagle and cooked hat.
The French people have no claims on Mexico
the assertion of which would be inconsistent
with our dignity. All Mexico, to be acquired
by war with u.s. they would justly regard as
game not worth the powder; for the wealth
that lies in their trade with this country is
worth more than ten such provinces. Mexico,
therefore, does not and cannot divide the two
peoples. If there is war it will be not on our
part to save Mexico and protect ourselves, but
on their part to carry out the Emperor's idea
at the expense of our safety and dignity.
Napoleon alone, and none other, will be re-
sponsible for that war. He will be the sole and
only cause of it. Let the French people under
stand this-Napoleon's attempt to decide the
rights and wrongs of national life for peoples
better able to decide those points for them
selves; his attempts to reconstruct the world
on Napoleonic principles; to force rearrange-
ment Of nations in accordance with ideas that
happen to strike him and Marshal Forey as
grand-these will be the causes, if any, that
will embroil the two peoples. Conduct just
like this on the part Of the First Napoleon
forced union Of all Europe against France.
Will France uphold another of the same race
in the same careers
Napoleon's little idea about the Latin race
on this continent, however grand it may seem
to Marshal Forey, is not worth war between
forty millions of people on one hand and about
the same number on the other. Does the En-
peror wish to 60 down in history as the man
who started war between two such peoples for
such cause? We cannot believe it. He
must be ambitions of good fame, If of any.
He must desire to be known to the future as
the great ruler of great people, and he can
only acquire that fame by noble cOnsidera-
ton of the public good. Really great rulers
are known by no other test History execrates
those intent only on the expansion of their
power, and will forever laugh at that sove-
reign who had such notion of bis own "grand
ideas" that he thought he could have told God
Almighty how to improve the world il he had
been present when it was made. Let the EN-
peror remember also that the weak point in
his great relatives history was that he insisted
upon his own idea, not only against all other
men, but even against the elements. Napoleon
to-day stands in position from which, by con-
sidering only the good of the French people,
he may pass into history as perhaps the great
est Of Frances many rulers. But his position
is as high for evil as for good. IF he goes for
ward considering his "grand ideas" as superior
to all other human considerations, dragging
the French people at his chariot wheels, he
will be weighed down with execrations as only
one more scourge and bane Of the human
race.

On the other hand, Ireland has been for
ages an oppressed country. Not so much
now, perhaps, as formerly, and the causes
of the grinding poverty and oppression
that exist may not be the fault of the present
government so much as of former ones; still
Ireland is oppressed The heart of the free
American people naturally sympathizes with
the oppressed everywhere. Then there is an
immense population of Irish and of those i'm
mediately descended from the Irish people in
the United States. II, therefore, we were to
extend sympathy and aid to the Fenians. or if
the government were to recognize the Fenians
as belligerents and to let privateers slip out as
lion, we might have some excuse, some reason
for doing 80. England had none. The govern
ment of the United States was as much entitled
to respect as is that of England. 1t makes no
difference whether the subdivisions of q coun-
try are called States, provinces or counties, or
what portion of them revols; the original CEN
trail government, while it maintains itself, is
entitled to the comfy of all nations at peace
with it, England knew only one government
that Of the United States-and had no more
right to recognize the Southern rebels as bel
lgerents than she had the Russian Poles or
than we might have the Fenians. That is the
law Of equal justice between nations
