Washington Special (Feb. 81 to Cincinnati Eu-
quirer.
desperate effort is being made to renew
the agitation of the question CT a war of
conquest with Mexico. At its back are lot
of New York capitalists and adventurers,
who want to get their clutches on come val
liable silver mines. The first act of their
we'll conceived plan is the issue to-day of a
thirty-six column newspaper, containing the
proclamation of one General Dalrymple,
who claims to be head of an army of occu-
patton of fifty thousand men, which it is
proposed to raise, and tender its service to
the United States.
The proclamation recites that "ihis gov
eminent having failed to carry out foreign
policy by which our country can increase
her power and dominion so that she may
fulfill her mission in the cause of universal
freedom, the sovereign citizens, whose will
is law, are compelled to resume those rights
which their representatives have neglected
to exercise. Action at the present time is of
vast importance, as in little while age, dis
ease and death will claim the renowned of
our warriors. It is therefore decided to Or
ganize at once the grand army of occupa-
ton. 1t will be governed by the United
States army regulations. Its purpose is to
Americanize certain foreign lands, in the
partial division of which every soldier
will have competency, with an OPP
portunity of civil and commercial advance
ment. After swearing fealty to the new gov
eminent, the original owners Of the military
land and syndicate land will be Unidentified
by interest bearing bonds of the Lew repub-
lie, whose performance it is their policy to
support. All vested European interests will
be respected. The inhabitants, no longer
subject to tyranny and revolution, will en-
Joy State governments under their immedi-
ate control, with the right of representation
in the general administration. Justice to
each citizen, equality before The law, and
the inatienabls rights of freemen are guar
anteed. Peace will cease her futterings and
fold her wings over the new republic. Our
duty having been performed, then national
jurisdiction will be surrendered
to the United States and
merged therein, after favorable concur
rent action by the requisite lawful represen-
tatives, subject to tho paramount condition
that all grants and agreements made under
authority from these headquarters be con-
frmed and ratified. including the validity of
limited monopoly charters, the repayment of
all war expenditures, and the guarantee of
land, money and public Office to every mem
Der of the grand army of occupation. If
these Just and reasonable terms be not agreed
upon. the new Republic will flourish under
our care as separate and Independent gov
eminent, whose domain will be enlarged by
future acquisitions"
communication to the paper says: 'It
is well known that rich capitalists in New
York and San Francisco have expressed
themselves in favor of the object of this e1-
petition, and are ready to furnish $15,OOO,-
600 and make $500, 1000 by the monop-
oily of sill the silver and gold mines alone.
Mexico and Manifest Destiny is the watch
word of the hour. Millions of our citizens
will be enriched, and an era of unprecedent
ed prosperity will dawn upon the republic"
