Mr.. STsvENS'S proposition was loan d!
tie United States itself TO the LIBERIA
Government of twenty million dollars
upon the pledge OF the States OF Sonora
and Lower California for payment Of the
Saulc.
These propositions carry their object
upon their face; ont the world Is not LETT
only that guide for enlightenment on the
subject: those who offer them frankly
avow that tiey arc designed to drive
MACMILLAN out OF America and rccstah-
ish republican government in Mexico.
I, would bc far more honorable in the
United States TO declare war against the
Mexican Empire at once, than 10 proceed
/, This indirect manner 10 enforce the
MONROE doctrine as now understood 10y
Black Republicans. 1t is an act OF hos
,ili,y Of 4 disingenuous kind, that seeks an
object in this roundabout way. In prin-
chile the United States would he rs deeply
involved As an adversary OF the MAxlNl-
LIAM Government as if she openly declared
hostility. A, the same time the means
she selects for encouraging resistance To
that Government will but prolong a con-
ties, characterized by small fights, raids,
robberics, and indiscriminatc slaughter,
which will probably at last fail to establish
the Republic. In that case the United
States will only occupy the contemplate
attitude of a disturber Of the peace of q
ncighboring nation, provoking and inviting
strife and bloodshed in vain. II, however,
upon the sign of the failure of the resist
ance she now proposes TO encourage, she
steps in with men and arms to save the
cause, she will he doing that nj last which
she should have done at first, and Will be
still culpablc Of having mcanly sought
through another that which she should
have done herself, and having thus sub
iected a nation to a prolongation OF the
most horrid form of war, involving great
national distress and bloodshed, which
(,upposing no other nation to come to the
aid of MAMMALIAN she could settle III a
few months.
And why is all this to be done! And II
there is a wherefore for it now, was not
that wherefore Of infinite more force when
MACMILLAN was placed on the throne OF
Mexico than at this time, when lie is firmly
fixed, and the resistance TO his AUTHORITY
almost entirely overcomc?' Having per-
ui!,ed that first occasion 10 pass, what
apology has the United States for stepping
in now, When peace relgnS in Mexico, L"
let loose the foods Of war 10 dcluge the
land. Tie Emperor Of Mexico, as mucl
as he is dcridcd in this country, has
achieved, indeed, wonders. He has 's-
tablshed peace in a land which has had n"
rest or quiet for forty years--a land torn
hv the dissensions Of her own people-diS-
trar,ed hv the parties into which designing
-s5i ambitious leaders had diviled then
her industry paralyzed, her enterprise
crippled; ruin, idleness, and proiiisacy
.r..rvwhere in TIE land-and the only sign
re life and spirit in the nation, being the
s,r;f, and blood,hed melted by the execra-
,,e chieftains who sacrificed their country
IN their low ambition. Such countr!
,ros a shame TO the human race; such =
Government a disgrace TO the name Of
Republican" MACMILLAN brings some
thing like order out of this chaos. He
restores peace and protects private rights
he encourages industry and promotes pub
lie understandable undertakes the most
gigantic work of art of its kind in the
world: the railway from Vera Cruz to the
city of Mexico-he gives every example
Of a monarch DESTROYS TO establish the
power and beneficence of his government ::
the frs, government for half a century
that has afforded rest and security TO her
people.
and nor, after all this, comes the United
Statcs-no, not the United States, but the
Black Republican party-the very Black
Republican party-like the devil in Para
dise-w,h their propositions to destroy the
peace Of Mexico, to delugc her land with
blood, and give her back to the demons
Of Misrule and Anarchy.
The reckless party Of the United States,
who propose this great crime, had better
restore their own land to peace and pros
perity before they attempt to interfere III
the domestic affairs of other nations. We
hope and believe that our Government
will not favor this contemplate move
