Annexation of Mexico ! !!
The Project to be RectCet1 :!
Grant the Proper Man to do it

Grant the Proper Man to DO IL!
The New York Herald, Of January 20,
closes an editorial on Mexican affairs by
saying it anticipates, in some practical
shape, the revival, under President Grant,
Of the grand idea involved in the offer to
General Scott by the Mexicans, to accept
the government of that republic in the
name of the United States and within the
next four years, in all probability as ter
ritorial delegate, to begin with, we shall
have man in Congress from each of the
Mexican States. Sooner or later this SUBJ
stantially will be the solution of the Next
can question, and Gen. Graut is the proper
man to settle it.
Speaking of this brilliantly project
an exchange says that Gen. Grants excel
lent good sense has long before this per-
ceived that we have all the half-civilized
and anarchial elements upon our hands
already that we are capable of taking care
of, without adding Mexico to our embar.
easements.
