The Invasion of Mexico.

The plot between the Texas annexation
lists and the HAYES Administration is ripcn-
Ing very fast. Whilc public watchfulueas
has been bcgullcd with the chatter Of the
Washington stragglcrs, Lieut.. BULLS has
crossed the Rio Grandc with n column Of
cavalry hundred strong and the story
goes that ho has already taken the town OF
Xaragossa." That he has committed this
last-named outrage is hardly credible; but
the report IS believed at army headquarters
In San Antonio, for tho reason, we SUPPOSE,
that there It is well known what BuLLIs's
instructions cntit!e him 70 do.
How far BULLS will go in this insulting
and exaspcratiug reconnaissance remains to
be seen. He is still roaming at will on Mex
lean soil. Should lie be attacked and driven
out by the indignant citizens, this act will
have goaded McXico into war. Tho true
object Of the raid is shown 10y the fact that
It is not pretended that BULLS was follow
ing q trail Of horse thieves who had just
escaped into Moxco-he went to look for
horses said TO have been stolen long ago.
The completely Of the HAYES Administra-
ton in this outrage is clear. For, as soon
as the cavalry raid was ordered. Gen. ORD
went to Austin to consult with Gov. nUB-
BARD about raising four or five regiments of
Texas volunteers, who could be put into SER
vice forthwith. should Mexico resist inva-
sion. Meanwhile an envoy hurried TO WASH
ington from Gov. HUBBARD to let Mr.. HAYES
know that HUBBARD had a brigade of rangers
ready to cross tho river, If necessary. All
these details, therefore, evidently form part
Of concerted plan.
Thus,wh.le q new cxtradtion treaty is UNI
der consideration at Washington, the Adj
ministration takes advantage OF n govern
mental crisis in MeXico. friendly power,
sister republic, to invade the excited region
with its cavalry, so doing everything to
goad the citizens to bloodshcd and war.
Nor is this all. Mexico has never objected
TO our posting an armyof observation on the
left bank Of the Rio Grandc, provided it
should be composed Of regular soldiers. She
does fear our lining that bank with Texas
rangers, raised from the neighhorhood at 4
time Of angry excitement. under no such
discipline as regular troops, and liable to
precipitate war by q single imprudent act.
Yet the substitution, on the Mexican side, of
regular soldiers FOR 1amaulipa5 militia, for
the very reasons just given, has been Instant
ly followed, on our part, by the raising OF
Texas militia to threaten the whole Mexican

" Stimulant Memories,

There Is something delightful in the
placid seli-comp lacency oithe Massachusetts
Republicans. They have had some great
men; from JOHN ADAMS to CHARLES SUM-
NER there was u line, though line by no
means unbroken by long intervals. Of which
any Commonwealth might be duly proud.
But when we see the little men Of to-day,
the HoARs and DAwESLs, cooliy appropr-
ating those mighty names to the glorNca-
ton OF their rotten party politics aud strut
ting about under the coat tails Of those cO-
lossal shades, shifting their narrow chests,
and shouting, Behold, We are not as other
men," the performance grows absurd.
But, to say truth, We scarcely wonder at
these methods Of the Massachusetts Ro-
publicans. Il is so much easier to lay
broad and general claim to all the hOnors Of
the past than to do anything honorable in
the present. with this Fraudulent Admins

iniquity by which the people were deprived
of the fruits of that great. political and
moral victory.
And not only now, but at every election
which is TO take place before the Presidcn-
tial contest of 1880, ought this question to
be made the most prominent and vital issue
between the great parties, until the people
shall finally right the wrong and make its
repetition impossible hereafter. The youth
who are now growing into manhood, and
who will soon be voters, should be taught
