be acting again with the Democratic party. At all
events, tins letter of his is a'poweriul argument in
support of the Monroe Doctrine, and of the car-
dinal principles of the Democratic ptirty, and is
said to have ehcited the emphatic and unqualified
assent of the President' 1 « r.¡ ifv' ' !
"It is a subject worth considering what would be
the effect upon the destinies of thé United States
soldiers from the United States, to the forces how
arrayed under President Juarez in Mcxieo. It
might result in the re-establishment of the Repub-
lic in Mexico, in the expulsion of Maximilh'an, and
possibly in a war with France. There is vei-yilit-
tle probability of the latter, however, in any event.
For some reason as yet unexplained, but doubtless
connected in, some way. with European politics,
Napoleon refrained from going to war with us two
year* ago, when he would have had a powerful
ally in the Southern States, and when the issue of
such a war Would, at least, have been doubtful. U
is highly impossible, therefore, that he woqld take
the initiative in a foreign war now, when the North
and the South would be united against him. No ;
if matters do take the direction indicated in>the
letfer of General WjUaoe, it will probably be only
illustration of the pow¿r of the sw^á in
Kuerdion knots which are proof
portera of law and order, and stopping at that
point, not spoil all by claiming such rewards foi
merely performing their duty.

and told them they had a perfect right to do so;

that the North woufd not ofcieot to it; that there
would be no war; generally pledging themselves to
drink all the blood spilt on both sides. That for-
eign nations, partícula, ly England and France,
would immediately intenere in our behalf, and se-
cure oüi independence; and a great many other
assertions of like character. Besides they could
whip five northern men to one southern, and
iledged themselves individually to kill and eat that
_nany for breakfast every morning, if war did en-
sue, &c. Now they either knew tiiose statements

State to be reorganized and take her place in the
Union as before.
And now, Sir. Editor, let me say to you, go on
in the course you have proposed; present things
truly to the people, and now that eobor reason and
common sense are about to resume their sway, you
will be sustained. It has been said that " truth
crushed to earth will rise again." Truth has cer-
tainly been ciunhed to earth tor the past four years,
and it is full time she was rising.
