The McXicans have Others reasons
than their pride for extreme reserve
toward Foreigners, and especially, Il re-
greet to add-toward Americans. | have
had occasion many times to blush for
my country, or rather for the conduct
of some OF her representatives here.
Perhaps it is the case with all countries,
that the men and women who drift over
the border are the scum of society,"
the failures, and cranks, and disappoint-
ed ones, if not those whose actual mis-
deeds have exiled them from their own
country, "for their countrys good. "
The American nation has been pro-
verbal for its abuse of hospitality, since
the days when King Philips generous
gifts of maize saved our ancestors from
starvation. Mexicans are by nature ex-
tremely hospitable, but again and again
has this generosity been abused, their
trust betrayed by foreigners whom they
have received into their homes, until
they have been forced to the wise deter
mination to admit none unless vouched
for beyond question. Naturally, the
feeling of dstrust has grown to undue
proportion, as, in the Bible play-"In
Adams fall we sinned all"-the inno-
cent are obliged to suffer for the sins of
the guilty. Should l undertake to tell
you, ever so dclicately, the doings of
somo Americans, of both sexes, in this
city, our good editor would refuse to
print and you TO read the recitals. -
