I your journal of the 20th inst, I have read an edito- Wal with the following heading:—‘ A Remedy for Mexi- ‘eo.”' It commences as follows:—"It ii paper that, the government is ready to adopt a plan to Put an end to the Mexican muddle by paying the French debt,” &e. ‘That article \s very important; it is of considerable in- terest a4 regards the future fate of Mexico. Instead of a remedy it proposes a great evil, The writer says the debt contracted by Maximilian with the government of France, to establish his empire, will be recognized and paid by the United States, which in consideration thereof will take a part of the Mexican territory. These remarks give rise to several well founded objec- tions which do not admit of reply. Tn the first place f£ must remark that fo me. the fate of Mexico appears a most deplorable one, That unfortunate country seems destined to become a victim tn expiation of her children’s crimes, of their eternal di ent and quarrels; for they seem nnwilling to come to any understanding or to make the least mutual concession, They persist in b ing the gratification of their vindictiveness above a! other consideration, and look upon the loss of their na- Uonality as of minor im: 3 ‘The Mexicans on reading the article to which I refer should raise a uniform and indignant outery, and protest that it ia neither just nor honorable that such inch we bave a Tight to expect disinterested protection, which we have ar int in, and not injuries and humiliation, It is impossible that tbe ruin and dishonor of Mexico can a remed: for the evils which aMict bi To burden Mexico wit ap immense debt which w ot contracted at her wish ia not just, and e ially when, according to the plan referred to, half of her ‘territory in to be assumed as a consideration of the bargain.

Democratic Union Association—County Con- vention at Cooper Inetitute.Nomination of Candidates for Recorder and Surroegate— Tammany Ring Denounced, and the Entire Machine to be Smashed Up. A meeting of the Democratic Union General Com- mittee was held last evening at room 24, Cooper Insti tute, convened for the purpose of receiving the report of acommittee of twenty-two previously appointed to pre- sent for nomination the names of gentlemen for the offices of Recorder and Surrogate. Two names were already on the ticket as opposed tothe Tarnmany ticket-— Robert D. Holmes for Surrogate and John B. Anthon for Recorder; but these gentiomen having declined, a new nomination was rendered necessary. The meeting—a pretty full one—was calied to order by the appointment of Judge Connoliy as chairman, who briefly stated the objects of the meeting. REMARKS OF NELSON J, WATERRURY, Mr, Newson J. Warenovey, chairman of the conven tion, then addressed the meeting. He rose to present the report of the committee of twenty-two, appointed at the last meeting for the parpose of making certain nom- inations to fill up the county ticket, committee deemed it right to call this convention together to make their report and subinit {t to ite approval. The commit- tee entered on the discharge of its duty with a grave sense of its importance and responsibility, and fully im- preseel with the sentiments which they believed per- vades the organization and the democratic party at large, It certainly was their duty to geo that fit men were pre- sented to the pub!ic—to see that they would place men on the ticket that would smash the Tammany machine completely, (Cheers.) It was with a determination to give effect to this sentiment of the democracy thé com- inittee had entered on the pecternenes of their duty. ‘The first office for consideration was that of Surrogate. One candidate was asiready in nomination before the je 68s 6 6democrat, the present in- cnmbent, Mr. Tucker. The committee deemed that nomination a8 eutirely ovt of the question, for ee Coeeag | Mr. Tucker had no affiliation with yaany Hal), still as the ring which now con- trols that institution had determined to renew their at- tempt to grab atall te oilices, and as Mr. Tucker bad consented to be used by them as the representative of a district of which ho kuew nothing, and.thereby shutting out the democracy of that district and ¢ ing out the behests.of the Tammany clique, it was Ume that the Democratic Union Association should teke action in the matter. He would vote to any local office any man, no matter what party he might belong to, who had the confidence of the citizens; but bere was man whose only claim, or chief claim was, that he was presented to the voters of the city as the nominee of a close corpora- tion—Tammany, As, therefore, they could not sup. port such # man, it was incumbent on them to nominate a candidate whom they conld recom- mend to the citizens at large. speaker then referred to the election in last Dec»mber, when, as he charged, pepo Hall had deceived both the German and Irish voters of the city, they not hav- ing been consuited in the nomination of Mr. Hoffman for Mayer, and now the cause that bad brought them together to-night was that the people bad no voice in the nominations made by Tammany Hail, wfev ved Tammany had deceived the Germans when it indu them to vote for Hoffman as Mayor by not ful@ling the pledge then given that they should have the nomina- of his successor as Recorder, This convention docs not present Germans as the nominees for the t vaaadhad Recorder and pares but men in whom the ns of the gity have the t confidence, SB ei beres offor Fg tn male oo Bigg ~~ ination an ex; jeterm draw 7 the canvass, 80 ight put on the ticket a man upon whom the yp would rally aad ensure beyoud all doubt the of the ‘Tami Cloze corporation. (Cheers.) The Convention therefore presents the name of John k for Ke- corder (load cheers) and J. M, Smith, Je, for Surrogate. (Continued ebeering.) REMARKS OP MR. ANTHON, Mr. Anraow, before the question was put, addressed the meeting. He said he bad fret the nomina- tion of the association with the determination that he would not withdraw from the contest untess it should become advantageons to the organization, Ctreum stances had arisen which compelled him to with. draw, He had thrown his whole political des. tiny abvolutely into the organization. (Cheers.) The nominee of the Convention for the Recorders was one of whom the orgenization should be proud. The purification of the judiciary of the city waa abso- lutely needed, and for that purpose it was necessary to give the orgenization ai! the strength and moral welbt which arises froin its representation of all interests ad- verse to Tammany Hall. The press of Tammany Hall and the spenkers of the ing may ake what announce- ments they please, bot the fast was patent = ticket which goes forth from this orzanization ticket of the democracy disgusted with the corruption of that body, He had felt it im the interest of the demo- cragy to relinquish the honor first presented to bim, aod to accept the ticket nominaced to night @. The motion was then put--That Mr Jobn bony vd and Mr. J. M. Smith, Jr., be the nominees of the Demo- cratic Union Asrociation for the offices respectively of Recorder and Surrogate. The resolution was carried byacciamation, A committee of three was (ben appointed to imform Mr. Smith of bis nomination. Mr. Smith soon after entered the room and wae re- ceived with loud cheers. Ho then proceeded to addresa the meeting concluding bis remarks by secepting the nomination. ‘The announcement eliciied great cheering. The meee ing then adjourned.

Ratitien Wigwam. There wag a large and enthusiastic meeting of the de- mocracy of Kings county held last evening at the Demo- cratic Wigwam in Brooklyn to ratify the pomination of Demas Barnes for the Second Congressional district, Shortly afver the necting was called to order Henry ©. Democratic Meeting at the Murphy was introduced to the assemblage and received | with loud ehoers, After expressing his regret at being necessitated by a prior engagement to speak briefly upon the present occasion, he doclared that in bis judgment there has not been a period within our generation which required A more united and energetic exertion of the democratic party than the prosent thae. Never were there any nobler objects to attain, and with better promises of success than at the present period. Ho was well aware that there were to he found in the ranics of the party those who felt despondent on this sub- Ject and considered further exertions to be useless, This was agroot mistake on their part, New York has yet to speak for herself, and although she may be the t wo speak in the eanvads, she 18 pevertheless the first in power, and her example will be others, The motto of the pari id be that of the State “Excelsior; let them independent of the action of the Western aud other States im recent elec tions. Ifthe Empire State does her duty, they, too, will follow. Our vote will bea power to prompt the other States, who will follow us, It is not merely for the temporary question of the admission of the Southern States to representation in Congress that we aro to consider the present campaign. All parties affect fo believe it to be meceasary that — they should be adinitted to representation—that is, in the | abstract principle. The democrats believe it unjust, un+ constitntional to legislate for other States, The South is not now out of the "nieu, and never has been. The democrats believe, then, they having declared fealty to the Union, that they are fully entivied to representation. It is the cardinal point of the American government that no citizen if a subject of the government, but that all citizens are equal, and when any people have qnalided themeelves they are entitled to a voice in tho govern- ment. This ig the first principle of the doctrine in which Union conservatives have been educated. The radicals claim that as the South has been up in armed opposition to the government somo guarantee is neces- sary from them. But what considerations do they re- quire? They certainly have consented to the require- ments of the constitution in submison to the laws of the Vniled States, They require that thoy shall not be admitted unless wie negro is Included in the basis of representation, giving them the majorities. In some States of the South the negro population is much larger than the white, and therefore the Poutherners can- dmit of @ proposition which will deprive them of voting power. ~The speaker was oppored to negro suffrage. He regarded them as ua uutrornate people thrown upon our shores, and we were willing to accord to them the protection of the laws and an asylum; but he hevor could sanction amalgamation and miscegenation, Which would eventually follow the adoption of the con- stitutional amendments by the South, and the fulfilment of the Radical policy.

Mr. Demas Barnes, the Congressional nominee, KE. 0. Perrin, ond A. H. H.
