Ill III ." Our Mexican Policy" The
~: ,crent attitude of the Journal toward
lis country would appear a little remarka-
Die were it not for the fact ahat it is equal
ly anxious for war anywhere and with
anybody. 1t does not make a speciality of
this country by any means, but it clings
20 the idea that if fight cannot be got EN-
up elsewhere one certainly can be had with
Mexico. 1t laments deeply over the do
nestle dissentions in the United States, as
thereby the work of slashing away at the
Gordon knots with the sword will be pres
vented. We feel to pity the Journal, over
the existing state of affairs; and inasmuch
as its occupation depends upon war some>
where we could almost wish that there
were one between the United States and
Mexico. 1t would be so delightful aud
profitable to sit back there in New York
and publish in the Army and Navy Jour
nal all those terrible accounts Of bruised
heads and perforated bodies on the plains
Of Mexico
The object Of war upon this country,
the Journal does not stop to define. In
fact, it does not appear to have any idea Of
what is to be the result of such war,
whether or not it should be attended with
success. That is not the question. War
or no war, is the issue, and upon it the
Journal lives and fourishes or dies to be
forgotten. Whilst our sympathics are
aroused in behalf Of this feeder upon the
offal of carnage and slaughter, we cannot
close cur eyes to the consequence of a
war Of racas so urgently demanded by that
New York Cannibal.
The most serious objection We have to
the Journal and its parasites and satellites
is that, studied falsehood ana deception lie
at the bottom Of every line published by
them. They raise false issues to inhame
public mind in the United States, and keep
hidden the inevitable consequences of the
unholy work which they are endeavoring
to urge forward. They accuse the fedora
administration of holding the hot,blooded
American people in check, and thereby
preventing the immediate restoration of the
Mexican republic. They should have sale
that the administration was striving t.
avoid war with the world, whereby the
work Of conquest, of 4 war ofraces, of des'
truction to Mexican nationality was being
defeated That, thereby, soulless fillibus
tcrs, disbandoned and abandoned army of
fcers, contractors and soldiers, were bein,
kept from at once inaugurating the WORK
of exterminating this people, this govern
ment, this nationality.
They talk of restoring the Mexican Re
public, when they know that such thing
never existed. They know that within thu
last forty years, seventy five different rulers
have held sway over the Imperial Halls Of
Montezuma. They know that, during tina
time, there have been seventy-fve time
seventy five local revolutions in this coun
try. And is this the Republic which tn,
rapid, impatient, not to say, headlon;
Americans" are 80 anxious to re-establish
In the name Of Beast Butler let this be dc
MED. Even he would scorr to own tina
the American people were so entirely los
and abandoned as to desire the return O
any country on earth to so deplorable
condition. And all this without dolla
accruing therefrom to the United States
nor silver spoon to Butler. All this
without the hope Of sending one ship-loat
of merchandise from the United States t.
distracted Mexico!
But we can realize that the fedora
North Americans feel that Mexico, lik,
the Soui;;ih,, belongs to them And whel
we contemplate the cad havoc made upoI
the south by the northern .horuSsS; "iicr'
ties Of kindred blood bind those people -
gcther, we'll may we conjecture the result
of a war by that people upon this country
1t means o war of races, and the extermin
alton of one or the other 1t means con
quest. 1t means the absorption of Mexi-
co. 1t means the swallowing up Of thi;
country, and this people, and the complet,
obliteration of both people and name.
