This is the danger against which President Jownson stands forth the champion of the people, and the people, in vindication of their sovereign rights, must stand by the Presi- dent. The issue and the danger before them will admit of no other course. Mexico in CongressThe Opportunity to Pat Before the World the Position of the United States. Congress has admitted and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs a resolution that the government shall guarantee the principal and interest of a Mexican loan of fifty millions; that it shall assume before the wor'd the posi- tion of financial sponsor to the sister republic. The introduction and reference of this resolu- tion puts the Mexican question in a practical shape in the bands of an appropriate com- mitiee. It will give that committee on oppor- tunity to make one of the most significant reports of the session, and it will afford the occasion for Congress to fully lay before the world the views of the American people—the real position of the country on this great topic, It is for all reasons desirablo that this should bo done. France has declared her position, and given the world without stint her peculiar interpretations of international comity. She has had nearly a monopoly of this positive utterance, and the consequence is that while the world has heard all her justification of her acts and understands her clearly, it docs not understand us so well, Even in the French government there seems to be a very vague and indefinite notion of our ideas on this subject. The press here has spoken freely, and the people have been heard through the resolution in all their platforms, but the official declaration has not been sufficiently distinct, except in the one in- stunce when the last Congress declared that this government never would acknowledge the empire. The House Committee of Foreign Affaiis should therefore Landie the subject strongly, and put before the world, in positive terms, the view that the American people take of the whole history of this establishment of a hostile monareby at our doors. ft is time, now that all parts of the history of this movement are known, to declare ourselves openly in re- lation to it, lest by silence we may encourage our enemies wilh the notion that weare dis- posed to overlook any point in their iniquitous | scheme, | Whatever Congress may do wilh the resolu- Uion as it stands, its admission seems to indi- cate a dieposition to adopt some positive mea- sure on this suiject. Th Wwe help Mexico by the guarentee of ber loan, and especially if we do this in consideration of any remission of daties in our favor, or of a ceseion of territory, it will be a cheap way in which to accomplish the purpose. And we may do this, and a great deal more than this, without any complication of ow Enropean reladons; for certainly it France may cross the Atlantic to sustain Maxi- milian, and expect us not to tnke offence, we may assist in a wey quite as practical, without giving her any cause of complaint If Con- gress shall mako such n declaration, the Mexi- can question will require no othe: solution.

But Mr. Peabody is more democratic, me eneral in dispenslog bis chavilies than the Rothschilds; witness his hberal donations to his native town of Danvers, Moss chusetts, to the city of Baltimore, &. ‘There is only one blur opon the otherwise clear surfuce of Mr. Peabody’s reputation. Duiing our etruggle for vetional life it is reported that ho sympathized with onr Southern foes, and by certain acts of obseqniousness to the seces! loving aristocracy of Engiand lessened his standing os an uprigkt American citzen. Mr. Peabody can make ample reparation for this if in (be future dis tribution of bis bounties he will give a few | moments’ consideration and some thousands of dollars, by way of donation, for the relief of those Union soldiers who have been maimed for life in fighting for the Union, or to the fami- lies“of those who bave been deprived of their protectors and supporters by the fate of war, In this good work Mr. Peabody can be assisted by such of our resident millionaires as William B. Astor, A. T. Stewart, Commodore Vanderbilt and others, and establish some grand hospital or eleemosynary institution as the home of the crippled and impoverished Un'on veterans. The Roosevelt donation of a million of dollars fora great free hospital in this city would make a splendid foundation for the erection of an institution of the kind. Tar Texas Convention.—The Texas Conven- tion is now in session, and we may learn by telegraph at any moment that she has come into the Union on the same terms as all the other Southern States, Texas is the last of the erring sisters to be heard from, and when she makes her peace the proper time will have arrived for President Johnson to issue a procia- mation declaring the Union restored. Mr. Seward said in his speech on the 22d ult. that the President could do so at any time. With the action of the Texas Convention the oppor tunity will come. All the States will then be reconstructed within themselves, and Mr. John- son can with a good grace proclaim the Union fully restored, and wash his hands of the whole affair, leaving the odium upon the radical Con- gress of preventing its complete reconstruction. ‘The President has done his work well so far NEW YORK LEGISLATURE, Senate.
