threatening. The fact that newspaper
in New York City is demanding a more
vigorous policy toward Mexico, would under
ordinary circumstances have attracted no
special attention, but comparison of the
correspondence with our representative at
Mexico, recently furnished TO Congress,
with some of the articles published in the
above mentioned journal, show conclusively
that some one connected with the State
Department has supplied it with official In
formation. This information was used,
TO CREATE A PUBLIC OPINION FAVORABLE
TO AN AGGRESSIVE MEXICAN POLICY,
and was unquestionably supplied for that
purpose. These acts, together with the
almost daily occurrences on the Texan
border, have satisfied q. great many lead
ing democrats and republicans that there
is grave danger of our country being
plunged into an unjustifable war. The
judgment of the democratic members Of
the military committee of the house, up.
on the testimony thus far furnished by
army officers stationed on the Texas
frontier, has added weight to this convic
ton which has been forced upon the lead
ers Of that party. 1t is no scret among
army officers that the selection of Genera
Ord for the duty assigned to him was in
dication of the governments design
TO PROVOKE A COLLISION
between our troops and those of Mexico
How to counterfeit the influences whicl
are carrying as into complications from
which escape without war will be impossi
BILE, has, as above stated, been the sub
ject Of anxious deliberation by Speake
Randall and his most trusted coDfdentia
advisers. The conclusion reached vii
probably be presented to the house thi
week, or next Monday at the furthest, in
resolution, which will be introduced by
gentleman whose standing in the party
as well as his ability, will give peculia
Significance to the measure.
THE GROUND TO BE TAKEN
in this resolution will be that the prope
way in which to establish friendly rela
tions with Mexico. prevent borGer dis
turbances, and to assist the people of tina
country in maintaining stable govern
ment and building their material prospect
, ty is to promote the commercial relation
between the two nations, and to this en'
every effort ought TO be made to secure
reciprocity treaty which will develop trad
and bring the people Of the respec i've couI
tries into close business relations"
