In Inogunge, the Mexicans and Americans wonld bo utter strangera.® Tho mass of the Greas- ora do not even spoak a tongmo that n Bpaniard ean undersiand, and the languages of the ten millions of Grensers occupy- ing Mexico cannot bo changed. Thirty yoars' experience with the Greasers in Now Mexico proves this. In lit- erature and civilization, which include trnditions, customs, and present tastos, tho differenceis as wide ns between the Fronch Academy and a froedman’s school. History gives no precedonts to justify the attempt. The Austrinns and Hungarians wero in & constant state of cat-and-dog turmoil after their union under ono Government until scparata Parliaments, scparate budgots, and scparate Governments wero agreed upon, with the single exception of a common fig- ure-hoad in tho person of the Emperor. Tho 8lava and Crreeks havo nover fused with the Tarks after four centuries of political union, but hato each other worse and worse the longer thoy ave yoked togethor. Tho Poles are not reconciled to the Russians aftor 100 years’ unfon with them. En- glaud, with a stronger Government than ours, and an essentinlly different Govern- ment, haa had a perpetual struggle with Ire- Innd, thoygh origin, and language, and lit- erature wora largely in common. The un- dertaking to unite two races so wholly anlike and unassimilative as the Americana and Mexicans in ono represontative form of gov- ernment would ba to rush hendlong into an indefinito era of dissension, quarrel, and rov- olution, With ten millions of Mexican mongrels to bogin with, inhabiting their 700,000 square wiles of contignous territory, and repre- sonted in the Ameriean Congress in numbers 1arge enongh always to constitute a balance of power, thore would bo a demand for the recoguition of the Bpsanish ss well as the English language in all national debates, doouments, and publications; thore would bo a need for a strong standing army to bo used for clection purposes, as tbo beaton party in Mexico would always bo in revolt; thero would be* a demand for further sec- tional laws, grants, and subsidies; in one wond, there would be eternal cross purposcs aud manifold and constant provocations for dissension and monaces to the stability of the Government, It is impossible, then, to regard Moxican snnexation in any other light than that of o partisan Democratic movement that secks to mcure the admission of somo twenty-five semi-barbarous States into the Ameriean Union, with a solid population of 10,000, 000 of Gronsers, more unfit for self-govern- ment than any existing and distributed ole- meat now in this country, simply to maig- tain the Democratic partisan majority in Congress and control of the offices. The schome invites nothing but opposition from intelligent and fair-minded people. The only phase of the Mexican guestion worthy of encourngement is tho improvoment of commercial rolations betweon tho two coun- tries. It would be profitable in the end for American capitalists to pnsh forward tha construation of a railroad through Texas to tho City of Mexico, and for the Amorican Government to agree to and bring nbout as much reciprocity in trado as is consistont with our treaties and trade rolstions with otlior nations. A comumcrcial schome of this nature would nchieve all the commercinl ad- vantages, without risking any of the political dangers incident to on aduission of the Moxican Slates into the Amorican Union aftor conquering the submission of tho Mex- ican poaple. corruption which the Loulsiana 8ab-Com- mittee in making out agninat tha Demoorata, Bome of tha past iniquity is being exposed. It will bo romembered that, when the voto of Louisiann waa retaened originally, it was found that there was o most unaccountable differonco in the votes given to different Re- publican Electors, All the Democratic Electora hnd materinlly the same number of votos in the aggregata; but, among tho Re- publiean Eleotors, Kerrooae and Bunen, who were rinning 88 Electors-at-Large, roceived over 77,000 votes oach, whilo two of the othor Ropublican Eleotors ran below 75,000, and the other four recoived botween 775,000 and 76,000, It was ascertained at the time that one ArnAwN, s negro and momber of the Btate Benate, had gone into certain parishes with tickets twhich, he himeelf provided, contnining ouly tho names of Kriroaa and Burcn, aud ropresenting to the negro votors that it was illegal to vote for moro than two, ns they wors tho Eloctors-at Targe. By this monusatsome 2,000 voters were swindled out of voling for the entira Electoral tickot s thoy intended to do. Lata in the aay in some of the precinctathe blacks learned of the swindle that was being prac- ticod on them, and began writing in the six omitted names'or the name of the Elector from the district yhere thoy voted, and this acconnts for the disorepancy betwoon the votes for the other Electors. But tho fraud wns successfully carried ont, and 2,000 Ro- publicau votes practically lost. At tho time this was discovered, Araty clalmod that he did the thing ignorantly and in good faith, Hiy statement was regarded aa very improba- ble ot that thne, but now Mr, Porren’s Sub. Committes hos sncceoded in proving by two witnesses that AnaiN was drided dy the Democrata to porpetrato this fraud, and that ho roceived 2,000 for his scoundrelly work, The Louisiann Sub-Oommittee, as it turns oat, iy doing the country some service by establishing the bulldozors’ frauds of 1876 in behalf of Tieoxn.

Persistent discussion in cortain nowspapers that ara conducted dircetly or indirgetly in thie interost of the South warrants the appro- hension that an nccession of that section to the undisputed control of Congress and the National Adminiutration will be followed by a detormined offort to fasten the Mexican States upon the Amorican Union, It is protty certaln that sach a movement wonld be reccived with favor in the Bouthwest, whero the Confedorates have o sure n foot- ing, and it is not nnlikely that the Dough- faces of the Nortl would fall into line in obedienca to n mandate from the Southern Jonders. In this ovent, Mexioan annoxation wonld bo treated entiroly asa party mensure, withont tho slightest regard to tho interoats or welfaro of ths American peoplo at large. The movoment would be based upon the theory that tho illiterate Moxicans, as a port of the Americon Unfon,* wounld uaturally affiliato with tho Democratic party. As n distinctively Southern party; a8 o party includiog ond controlling most of the ignorant people of the country; as a party ready to organize forci. ble resustance to the National Governmont in caso of defeat; nsa party supposed to hava the support of the Ultramontanes; as ty that notoriously resorts to bulldezing and frands to carry elections; as esseutinlly o spoils party, without bigher sim or purposo than to gain possession of office and plunder by fair menus or foul,—tho Democrats foel cortain that they wonld have and would be able to rotain tho political sympathy and aflistion of the Mexican Greasers. The Demucratie purpose of annexing Mexico would not bo satisfied, therofore, by holding the anuexed territory as a colony, if that were possible, nor oven with governwmg it under Territorial forwy, us Now Mexico or Arizoun {snow governed. Annoxation, under Domoacratie auspiees, would couteruplate an fmmedinte admission of tho Mexiean Btates into tha Amorican Unlon as a moans for providing some forty or fifty Domoceratic Bountors and somo soventy or eighty Damooratic wmembers of the Houso, whoreby the continued Democratic-Confed- orate control of the National Governmont could be assured for an indefinite perlod. As it is only through Deouocratic-Confed. orata sgeucy, and for tho purpose of alding o ambition of that party, that Mexican un- nexation could be brought about, it is folly to discuss what might or mnight not be done by erecting o Colouial or Territorial Govern. wout over Moxico, maintsining a standing snuy, and governing it in much the same maunoer that the English Governntent now rulus Indin, or would rule Mexico if it were aliritish possession. Two things are vory cerfnin, viz: Moxico would neod to be whipped into the American Union, as annex- atlon fu bitterly distasteful to all parties in Moxico; nud, after belug whipped in, the hostilo, alien, heterogenoous, ignorant, su. penstitious, mougrel population would at once ba given full citizeusbip and equal ropro. sontation and voice in tho control of the Awerican Goverumont, Could any sup- posnbly condition ‘of things be more con- trudictory in itself, or more opposed to the expericnce and progross of civilization? It would bo very much like the enforced mar. riaga of o white man to & squaw, in a neigh. borliood of mongrels, mulattoes, balf-breeds, nnd Greasors, under the condition that the squaw should have an equal voicein tle manugement of his business offairs, ‘Tha en. forcod union of the American Btates with the Mexican Btates under the ouly condis tions possible would be au unuatural and irreconcilable alliauce. It would bo in vio. lation of all the lessons of history. Itace, langusge, literature, aud, civilization msy be regarded as the natural bonds of national affinity, aud not one of theso would be sup- plied in Blexican aunexation to this country, In race, the Mexican wmongrel population is wore dusplied by the Americau people thau MACAULAY ON UNIVERHAL SUFFRAGE.
