A journal set up here with the obvious,
if not avowed purpose Of revivin9 the hos
tilities Of "tLe North and South. has
thought proper to employ tie following
language:

that the people 0: the North and South

injurious TO the South that such state

colony: who aided Mexico to throw off the
monarchy of Ferdinand: one Of whose
statesmen adopted the doctrine that no
more monarchies should be established on
this continent. and who drovethat ''hoNest

There were persons Of that great race,

yet remain. 1t is natural they should re-
spect the opinions Of their ancestors.
