1t is conceded, on all hands, that the Demo
Gratis and Conservatives of the United States are
now in very embarrassing condition. While
it is believed that those who are dissatisfied
with the course of the present administration
and wish to see a change, out-number those
who sustain the powers that be, there is great
reason to fear that, from the want of unity and
concert of action, they will fail to accomplish
their object.
The most feasible means of getting rid of
this difficulty is, it seems to US, by consulta-
ton, in Washington this winter, of leading men
from all parts of the country. The recon-
mendations of large body of representative
men would have great weight with the people
of al sections. Let us, then, have such con-
ference unless some one can suggest a better
mode of procedure.

to annex that country. 1t maintains that, in
the event of its annexation, Mexico would be-
come, in twenty years, the richest portion of
the United States, and that the whole world
would be benefited by the change. 1t says
that in political point Of view, General Grant
would make more out Of the annexation OF
Mexico than by anything else. IF he were to
proclaim this policy, says the Herald, he would
arouse national ambition, give vent to popular
favor, unite political parties find scarcely any
opposition to his election, and send his name
down to posterity as one of the greatest states
men of the country and age. Let him drop
