ale will Visit Sev Orleans and Adde'S
she Chamber Of Commerce.
The interview between the President an,
Hon. T. II. Nelson gives assurances of.
favorable prospect for improved commerc
with the Mexican republic. The uprigh
and liberal character given the President o
Mexico promises something of commercial
reciprocity with that country. We ma!
soon hope for an abatement of that suspicion
with which former Mexican administra
| tions have almost aIWays regarded all in
tercouTse with Gus people, We repeat
| with wish 20 impress the true policy upoI
our representatives and merchants, that in
! vasion and conquest are not the best arms
! Of national progress. with tho greatest
commercial examples Of ancient oG modem
times commerce has taught TO foreign aa-
| ti0ns the true value OF alliance W it'll wealth
| and enterprise. An invasion Of Mexico has
| owed the seeds o. hatred which a gen
| GRAFTON will scarce ex2irpatc. Let us now
try the massive agencies Of commerce 20
dispose that glch region 20 favor our mis-.
! sion OF freedom and happiness. The report
of Mr.. Nelson or this subject is encourag
ing. and We hope she era OF steam lines and
railroads with Mexico is now about 20 open.
We particularly desire 70 call She attention
OF our merchants 20 a fact Of much import.
