II is high time that all humbug and cant and tendeooted-
ness dismissed in the discussion Of this The tone
OF the popular heart and Of the popular understanding demands
it, The people will much longer endure a war carried on
without motive, at least with other motive than the mon
srous Of holding u empire a military colony-a
in which victories the brilliant and the most glorious
succeed each other without result without any other result
than the very opposite of peace which all profess to desire
While there was the leas hope Of "conqucring peace"
Congress and the People accorded to tho Administration with
out stint and without hindrance, whatever it demanded of
and money but that half dozen victorious battles
and the subugaon nearly tho whole Of Mexico have demon
srated that but wdens the breach between the two
nations and must result, if pescvered in the military
cupaon and government of the empire of Mexco-a
military government without end in point of DURATION and
without aim in point of policy, except the enlargement Of the
power and patronage Of the Executive and the infinite in
Of expenditures and multiplication Of oiccswhen all
this has become plain the humb lest compehenon has
the time arrived for manly discussion If war
with Power equal to if the enemy coping with
armies and fleets and threatening and our
borde would be no time TO discuss the origin the aim
OF the and the newspapers and the forum would
with nothing but appeals 10 the military enthusiasm of the
people, But in the circumstances Of this war; the press and
the orator have very different mission We can win no
further laures shall no further resistance than
that ulen and deadly hate which oppression depens with
every city and every province reduced 1t is high


time that the people should be heard They called upon
now, in the present elections, say whether they
take and to hold military possession of the whole Of Mexico
or whether they mean to appropriate any part of Mexico
They called upon TO say whether they do desire
terminate the by the withdrawal of troops and the oc
cupaon Of the line they desire to hold This is the aim
poan issue be made before the people, and we hope
that the Wing candidates will make it boldly and maintain it
with energy and eloquence. 1t is only by this course that
they hope for success and it is only by this course that
they can deserve it.
