S3M, or, Doctrine.-Maximilian is in
Mcxi co we wish he was not, and
cannot doubt that on this point his
own wi-hes as well as his patron's
accord heartily with ours. But he
cannot gracefully back out, nor can
his patron serve him with notice to
quit. He will hardly like to have
us undertake that duty. But what
he can do, and what we think our
government might agree to do, is to
let 5Mexico henceforth alone. There
is Juarez; there are the p'eople.-
SWhat we suggest at a fair and just
