Mr. CHANDuRR, (rep.) of Mi asked leave to cail up the resolution offered by him a few days since, directing Committee on Fe Relations to inquire how rar bad shot the Mr. Chandler addressed resolution. It was well known, he said, sion of Mexico was in reality « part and parcel of oar re- bellion. Had the United states government been at no one believes that such an attempt would have been made to establish an empire in the republic of Mexico, Had Maximilian gone to Mexico as other wont —as Lopes went, and the son of Heary Clay went, and as others bad gone—with their lives in their bands, in rauit of @ crown to win, no remark would have made, He would have staked bis head and would won & cro’ or lost bis head. But Maximilian cu to be something more than an adventurer or a filibuster, He claimed to have been elected 2, the Mexican people to occupy the Mexican throne, Having recited the circumstances of the elect‘on of Maximillan, Mr. Chandler said jt was the intention of Napoleon, hav- ing once fixed Maximilian on the throne of Mexico, to assiat the rebels from that place, The decres of 1865 would then have been executed upon Union officers and soldiers captured while defending the Union. Maximilian signed ‘ie own death warrant whos be signed that decree, The Mexicans made @ mistake in the mode of Maximiiiaa’s death. The man capable of issuing that decree ought not to have died by the bnilet; the officers who captured him shoald have bung him'to the first tree, rhat thie was not done showed the Mexicans to be & chivalrous poopie. id | into | ler the leadersuip of oe , next, those something wander/ul im | rowal Piood. who might be calied funkies, who, vader the leadership of Raymond, of toe Tisses, hope to stand weil with foreign despotic governments by denouncin the government of Mexice, The thir claes i compared men who four years ago erying “Onward to Washington” the rebels of the South and the traitors in the North.
