arm of the government was laid upor
them to keep them in subsection. Blu,
those who cannot care for themselves, IN
the eternal fitness ofthings ought to have
some one to care for them, and we do moi
know of q government more onvenlen,
and capable than our own to assume
their guardianship.
The territory of Mexico is Q favored
spot of the globe-rich in soil, and with
o climate that renders il natural Eden.
1t has been designated as country for
which COP has done !, more and
man iess than any other on the
earth, and with the right
kind of population would prove val
liable acquisition. AS the negroes and
Chinese are sufficient in6iction in the
way of voting population, we do not
care to swell it by adding the mongrel
Mexican. This trouble might be avoided
in a measure by taking Mexico as ater-
ritory and keeping it in territorial
condition until the condition of the pop.
ulstion is improved. This would at least
afford field for some of our many politi-
cal aspirants, and thereby relieve the
pressure at home. That is one benefit we
would derive.
1t is not at all improbable that our
government will be forced to take the
aggressive in order to protect our citizens
and MAINTAIN our dignity as q nation,
and in q few months more the many
young men who are now out of work
nay find employment in the ranks Of
, volunteer army beneath the sunny
'kies of Mexico; and Monterey, Chspul-
epec and Buena Vista may become
names as familiar as they were twenty
I've years ago.

ST. LOUIS April 1S.-The imprison-
ment part OF Gen. McDonald's sentence
dates from the 23d Of November last, the
day of his conviction. Judge Krum, his
counsel, made a strong appeal to the
Court to substitute the county Jail in
stead of the penitentisry as his place
of confinement on account of
the better sanitary regulations Of
the former, the General being
in poor health and suffering from chronic
disease, but Judge Treat did not see the
ferce of this, and named Jefferson City
penitentiary as the place of imprison-
ment. The sentence is the maximum
penalty under the law.
