Startling issues that are entirely new
have been brought before the country, or
are In the course OF rapid development.
The first of these issues, the Anti-C atholic
movement, is already broadly made ana
SO thoroughly under,t God that no man can
be taken as the Republican candidate who
does not in spirit deeply and actively SYM
pathize with that movement.
The second OF these new issues Is that Of
intervention in Spain for the purpose of
putting an end both 10 the civil war and
TO Spanish power in Cuba. This policy
involves war, and President GRANT, like n
prudent man, has made all the plcpuIa-
tions for war that the means at his dis
posal permitted him to make. At the
came time he has used and is now using
the diplomatic machinery Of the Govern
ment for the purpose OF creating a suni-
cent occasion and prctcxt for the COM
mencement of actual war. This pretext
and occasion are now much more adj
vanccd in their readiness for use than pcu-
pie generally suppose; and if GRANT does
not back out and abandon the issue. which
he has so carefully maturel, we shall have
war with Spain, aud that within the next
three months.
The third issue is the annexation OF
northwestern Mexico, including Lower
California, and n large portion Of Sonora,
and also, IL may be, of Northeastern Mex
leo, so as TO transfer the boundary from
the Rio Grande 10 the mountains. THIS
extensive and valuable territory il is pro-
posed to take in consideration Of those
claims of ours against Mexico which have
sion in Washington, and of the other great
mass of new and undetermined claims for
damages committed on the frontier which
have not yet been suimftlcl to any tri-
bunal. OF course, the forciblc seizure of
these territories will mean also war with
Mexico. II b supposed that this Will NOT

the matter, and We arc glad to see that the
