The I" Raleigh Standard /" cordially subscribes
to the position which we have taken in regard to
Oregon. 1t says: ,,sa4 >sieso


s'Thc democracy ofthis country will stand to It's
word the President will be sustained, and the
arrogant claims Of Englan will be met as they
should be. Thus much as TO Oregon. But there
is another matter which we would bring to the
notice or consideration Of the 'Union,' to Wit ::
the present hostile attitude of Mexico towards the
United States Is Mexico to BE- permitted 10 re.
main substantially in state of war towards US !;
to be allowed 10 insult and denounce our govern
ment by manifestoes; to force us to keep five
thousand troops at Corpus Christi at an increased
expense TO the War Department. while at the
same time, she owes our citizens large sums OF
money? If this state of things should continue
through the ensuing session of Congress, it may
go indefinitely, or cease only when Mexico
chooses. Contemplate and weak we know she
is; but would Congress and the President pPrmi
England, or any leading power, 10 play with i'm
punity such a game as Mexico is playing
Doubtless this matter will occupy, at an early pc
riod, the attention of Congress; and we have onlN
to ndd the hope that such steps will be taken a
will most completely rebound to the honor ant
welfare Of the republic"


We respectfully reply to the " Standard" tina
we cannot doubt both the Executive and Congress
will do their duty in the premises, if Mexico doe
not: in the meantime, open the door for ncgota
ton and give US good reason to believe that sh


will terminate this idle game Of procrasination.
