rHAD. STEVENS on MEXICO.
Saturday was memorable in the history OF this
session as +be last Of the sneech DAYS Two gentle
mon one a RanrbIican and the other a Democrat
addrassal the arucbairs and settees Of tbe Honsg
far an hour a.piece. large number Of distin-
gnished orators who were anxious TO electrify
their constituencies, received permission to have
the Hack letter executed Of the government prin
tor1a Several members of large minds and cor
rasnoraina tborarez c1ar1ora5 far more general
debates Int tle Chairman of tbe Wavs and yeo1s
Conmittae was ire,,ora,Ia in his DISCRIMINATION to
devote the remaining SATURDAYS of the session to
the necessary brsinass Of fine Horse. Bnt Yesterday
was memorable on another aecoDptas the occasion
Of Tbod stevens,s the MEXICAN loa,, nro.
ect and his desDerate attempt to steaIthe Johnson
ian thunder. The noIicv of BIr Seward towards the
amnfre of Erazimilian has excited the iaaIouzv
If tbe radicals and thew are now endeayoripa to
nrova their sincerity on this pont to he at least
eonal ia that of the Government, But in this de-
SION thew have made complete failure. The
basis of the governmental policy is non-intcrven-
ton, and with this ensign we are about to relieve
the soil Of Mexico from every French soldier. To
guarantee Mexican loan would probably release
France from her promises, and injure the 2uarez
party more than any step we could take. Mr.. Seward
has told foreign powers plainly that the true gov
eminent of our Southern neghbor will stand alone,
without exterior assistance. Even the Confede-
rates raised five millions less than Stevens pro,
| poses to lend the Liberals, without the guarantee
of any foreign power, and no one would think
of calling them nation, or, in this part of the
country belligerent. 1t is strange, if Juarez is
such a popular leader, he does not work the great
silver mines which he proposes to mortgage to the
United States. And how are we to take posses
sion of the territory? Juarez would no doubtlike
us to march an army over the Rio Grande to take
possession of Sonora snd Chihuahua. And SC
would Thad. Stevens. He has been 80 successful
in settling one great difficulty that he is embold
ened to attempt the arrangement Of another
Next week we are TO have speech from Gov
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, in favor of the Fe
mans. Il is supposed that proposition for thu
repeal of our neutrality laws will be seriousl.
urged and supported by Mr.. Boutwell,, the grea
radical New Englander of the House.
~. THE LAST DAYS OF THE SESSION
Will be principally devoted to the patching of ON
national finance system. The new bill amendator,
of the currency act has been introduced in tn
House, by Hooper of Massachusetts. AS this ven
cradle gentleman is one of the most wealthy mer
chants of Boston, he may be presumed to know
something of inance-but it is only presumption
The comn8lttee propose to reduce the circulation
of banks possessing larger capital than thre
hundred thousand dollars, and to abolish all ma
tional banks whose proportions extend beyond on
million.
