its internal and foreign enemies, and to
have reached a crisis when, ifslet alone, 1t
may be expected torestore tranquility and
totre.organize itself upon permanent toun-
dations of union,. freedom and republican
government Only some great national
iniury, wrong or:offence iwonld. justify this
Government in suddenly assuming, a hos;
tile or even an unfriendly attitude towards
the Republic of Mexico Mr. Seward
also says that during q considerable part
of the period in which Mexico. has been
the theatre of civil war, armed military
and naval force has been maintained, by

in the waters around the forts of Mexico;
among other purposes, to prevent and de-
feat the invasion of that republic by any
military and naval expeditions which
might be set ON foot in the Limited States.
