Seeking Emancipation.

are seeking-blindly. it may be. and as
yet Intellectually. but with profound
and passionate purpose and within
their unuuestionable right. apply what
true American principle you will-any
principle that an American would pub
licly avow. The people of Mexico have
not been suffered to own their own
country or direct their own institu-
, tons. Outsiders, men out of other ma
tons and with interests too often alien
to their own, have dictated what their
privileges and opportunities should be
and who should control their land,
their lives and their resources-sofne
of them Americans, pressing for things
they could never have got in their own
country. The Mexican people are en-
titled to attempt their liberty from
such influences; and so long as ! have
anything to do with the action of our
great government | shall do every
! thing in my power to prevent any one
standing in their way ! know that
this is hard for some persons to UNI
derstand: but it is not hard for the
plain people of the United States TO

are men, and noble women, too. not
| few, of our own people, thank God
whose fortunes are invested in great
properties in Mexico. who yet see the case
