The task is hard the character OF nation Is
not changed by war but it must not be for
gotten that this war has swept away many
evils. and that as we have rid ourselves OF
Slavery, Mexico has annihilated the political
power of the Church.
Difficult as it is to understand the Mexican
situation, and impossible to discern the inten-
tions of the leading Generals, it is clear we
think, that the war has united certain factions,
and inspired the nation with higher patriot
ism. With the death of Macmillan the passion
for revenge seems appcascd The trials at
Queretaro have not ended in the execution OF
the prisoners Escobar Casanova, Salm-SaIm'
and the rest have been sentenced to imprlson-
ment. Gen. Castillo, who had been condemned
to DEATH has been pardoned. 1t Is proDao%
that the executions of the Imperlallsts are
ended. In this moderation we rejoice, and 1t Is
equally encouraging to find that many OF the
reports of Mexican enmity to the United States
had no better foundation than the invention Oh
the foes of the Republic. Escobedo has for
mally denied the calumny that he was IN favor
of the exclusion of foreigners from the country,
and we take his letteras proof that no influential
party in Mexico aims to prevent peaceful llnihl-
grafton and friendly relations with other States.
Gen. Diaz, it is said, has united with Jua-
rez in the effort to unite the country.
II is true that there still are divisions
of the Liberals, and the elements that
threaten new troubles, but if Diaz honestly
sustains Juarez, the party of Union must sue
ceed in the end. Since that letter was written
the telegraph has brought the tidings of the
flight of Marquee. Thus one danger is averted.
1t is conceded that while the popularity of the
other Liberal chicftains is limited to their own
districts that of Juarez is universal. 1t is to
him that Mexico must look for deliverance,
and he has shown the qualities of a deliyercr.
But whatever may be the fate of his efforts
they must command our sympathy. The people
of the United States are not concerned III the
civil affairs of Mexico or in the downfall or
elevation of any of her leaders but IN the
pacification of the country and the perma-
nence of the Republic, they have an interest
which will deepen with time, which no event
can destroy
