the prii ci/e* of Washington aid ffi-rson. Coinpre
hetding the magnitude of the trust which they have
declared themselves wHttg to plac In my hands, and
dt iply sensiMe of the honor whi^h their unreserved
ta tfidence, in this threa enir;; poaltion of the public

by a suiceie detlant'.ion that, in the tvent of my
election to the Presidency, I should enter upon the

nation to promote the good of the whoJe country, and
to dirttt solely to th:a end al! the power of the (inv

Uuied in the rt Solves of your Convention expreeeea
tit ser.tm.t uts in which I hare been educated, and
which have been ripened into convictions by p- raonal

The Utter on current politics of our fellow ?citi?
zen Gkorue Law to the Hon. fitMtavus Adulphu*
Sen ;-e? of I'.ntTalo strikes us as one of the most
stra'?hiforward, cogent, common-sense document*
tb it the prcscut crisis has produced. We had not
before appreciated t*te rigor aul purge icy of Mr.
Law's pen, thongh we bad hoai-rtd the energy and
force ot character evinced in his business under
takit^s. Hut this letter is among the most com?
pact, lue d and energetic utterance* of the day,
and a* such will be widely read BDd heeded. It
would seem to have been elicited by an epistle
from Gen. 8cro?gs, who, as a former De?no:rat
and present "Amtricsn," ha* sympa'bized with
Mr. Law in the past, ami naturally desired that
their accord should coutinue. Mr Law aels forth
his reasons for preferring Fremont to FiUtnore in
language eminently terse and convincing.
On one point, however, we think Mr. Law baa
not justly apprehended and thoroughly weighed the
facts; axd we resptct/ally ask him to reconsider
it. We allude, of course, to his remark-, on the
action recently had at Philadelphia | .tnd, in order
that vte may do do possible injustice, we will quote
, the language to which we demur, viz:
11 In ibe 'etter to m-, you ttpp. ir to lay great stress
npor tbe cour?e that the Republican p?rty h?- seen fit
to \ ii.-t.i-. a: ?* that it has not net the Aaaehcan party
half way in the great work of UDitiau the whole North
against tht conupt po'icy of the present Adtmnis'ja
t;on and tbe no wer tba'. control* the Cincinnati norni
ree. We will soppose that all this :s true In reUti-m
to the Kepnblkan party. ? I myself do not think tbe
Republican Convention acted as wiee.y as it might
have done, when the object was harmony of action to
accomplish a great goad for th? whole country."
?Now the vital error in this U i's aasumption
that tbe Philadelphia Convention wia exclusively
"Eepublican," representing none but "the Re?
publican party.'' Tbe fact is exactly the revortvi
of this. The Call invited all who oppose the prin?
ciples and policy respecting Slavery embodied in
the Nebraska hill: no opponent of that tneaaur*
vtas excluded; and in point of fact several of it*
most conspicuoua members, with scores of the nn
diftD?uisbcd, were "Americans." Tnaddeus
Stevens is an eminent example. Nobody ever
questioned the perfect right of Anti-Nebraska
" Anx-rkaxs" to choose and be chooen to that Con?
vention. And no one ever hinted that an Anti
Nebraska "American" was not just aa eligible aa
a " Republican" to nominatkn at its hands.
The Anti-Nebraska "Ameri-ans" bavin; been
early and eaireally inrited to be reprinted ia
the Cooventir n on terras of perfect equality with

The wine being good, we preaume there was no
< lurchman ao rigid, and no Diaienter ao lour, as
10 refuse to gulp down the mixture of which it
was the vehicle. Hut it must have been a cotnioal
sight to see Churchmen and Noncontorurats smirk
ng and bowiig in acknowledgement of a joint
complin.cut to them both, administeted by a Jew!
Ihe Diau of Wells (the Very Reverend Dr.
JoskyBa) acknowledged tbe toaat for the E.tab
liehment, and the Rev. Dr Hitiney (tbe hospitable
I ost of Mrs. Stowe in London) for the Dissenters.
And so it ended tor that time.
The cban&e in public feeling which has
made inch a cot junction as w e have
described above possible, baa been so
, gradual in its approaches that men do net observe
?enerally how very odd it ia. What we aaid just
' now io illustration of it, that it would, not long
-ince, bare aeemed as atrange as to see a negro
p:eliding at the civic hospitalities of this ctt> now,
ia bo overstatement of the caae. It is tather as if a
iegro should be discerned by the second-tight of
HimechiTalrousChaileitonianand Rchmoadiao.ait
. ting at tbe bead of the municipal festivities, if they
can afford* to have any, of t?cae c.ties. The Jea was
I not only oYspiscd and maltrtatcd as the negro is,
, hut he was the object of a superstitious dread and
detestation in which the negro doe* not share. It
is a little carious that the .lews were bemrved,
duritg the Middle Ages, to be diatingu shed by aa
? Senaive (dor, auch ar is urged as one of the rea
'Oos for making slaves of tbe African race. It
had come down to Sir Thomas Br .srne'a time, who
,ravrly denies that " an unsavory odour ia genti
,'ious or natiooel to the Jews," pronouncing it
?' a fraudulent illation. ' Sale aajs the Moham?
medans believe tbat the Lord, in his wrath, had slam

It is represented that the present people of Mexico
are incapable of self-government; acd their
pa#t disircliuation to submit to an authoritative
rule, as well aa their failure to eetabl sti
upmaias'iig basis a republican admiuistritiou;
tht ir vacillation between military despotism und
the i&nkeaf anarchy: their unlimited submission to
priestly influe nce in politico Bs in religion; their
iiabiii J to dtvelop tbe groat resources of their
ferti'e country; nnd their consists nt Itck of energy
in public enterprise-, are among the arguineuts
ttdduci d to demonstrate their incapability of im?
proving their social and politico! condition. It is
argued that the American people w ill have to teach
tt em these leseons, and thtt, in order to do thi*
tfftctively, the United States must assume the
responsibility of their government. This opinion,
soflhtterirg to the pride of the Amencin people,
i* d flused through ev? ry party and every section
of the country, tbe only point of contention being 1
the m.nnrr and the time in which tin
pr-11 ?? d eum xttiiD shall bo accomplished.
Southern men, gerierolly, are disposed to acqnire
tre.cV?ir<d tt-rtitory by immediate though violent
n?ans; while Nortfct-rn men prefer to leave things !
to t ii.?? arguitg that future po'itical changes will
e'rve Mi xico to voluntarily ask the protection of
tba Ul ited S'oteo. At the prescut time, to aM ,
apprentice, this idea would be received with little
tavor by the Mexican people, wuo imtgino ttej
perceive in tbe lutuio the prosp. ct ol their ut
tioritJ rt generation. The 'a*t revo'utj n in M-xico
wa? undettsken with the view of thro^'ii* off th- >
American influ?nee in their politic*, and u,.on this
gp ut d it was successful. Ttterewasat that tiutea
party, which, bcit.g influenced by 1 \ ui p hti
cans. wta disposed to i p?*n that country to an
* ii eiicau inn ig ration ot a large s;ale, wi'h the
v ew <-f establishing, by the aid of the Attiericau
. b in? nt, a better g> vernnient, and ot ultimataif
setuiing tbe ?nnexatioti of some of tbe proviuces,
if i ot of tbi? whole country, to tie United States.
Tbis party, beaded in the uortherri provinces by
Caravsjal, aid having its headquarters on the
Texsn fror.tier, was twice bold enough to invadt
Mexico ar,d nrray itself against Stnta Anna, btut
at tbe commenceDient of the last revolution this
iLovenent was disavowed by ths people as a mass,
and the ltaCers ot it, with their American co
workers^were forced to rcreatrromMextjan soil;
aiid when the latter, some months later, uuder the
IcaOn-h p ot Capta<n T. Henry, under the pretext
of castigating the Indians, intruded upon Mexican
t?rritory, they found the ?hole people alarmed and
in arms against them, and they tvere compelled to
fly, with the loss of several men killed. When the
Lews if ihe repulse at San Fernando reached
Texas, tbe Slavny psopagardlsts were enraged,
especally so, aa the son of one of their leaders
(Mr. Wan, Jones) waa among the dead, and they
icrolved upon an immediate and general invasion
< f Mexico, and evsn went so far as to move io the
Texan Legislature for the establishment oi a volun?
teer regiment of 1,000 men for this service. This
motion failed, and the invasion waa given up, ooly
because they were aware that the threatened dan?
ger bad aioueed the whole Mexicin people.
There is no doubt that tbis spirit of opposition
to American intervention is rapidly breomiog more
extendtd and intense among the Mnican popula?
tion. They are well awsre that the happinee* of
the native, population of California, New-M-xicu
aid Texaa baa not bten improved by the ad in xture
of the 4n6lo Saxon element; but that, on the con?
trary, tbe original owners of the soil have been
opprereed and it juied by the r new masters. Tney
cmnot tail to see that their own race Ig, in energy
&:d ixecutne ability. inferior to the vigorous
Ai(ilc-Saion, that, should they intermix uud reside
upon tie seme st.il and uwier the eame institution',
iLe latter would inevitably he the dominant power.
Ibtir pride is so *troog, and their belief in tbeir
o*Lpt wer of national regeneration so fixed, thai
their feeling toward Americana ia jealous), dn
tiust and apprehension. If, tht rt fore, an annex?
ation ct Mexico to the United States ever doct
eventuate, it will be, not by the voluntary action
ot the Mexican population, but against theix will
BLt* only after a violent and bloody struggle.
S'hce the signal succesaof the la*t revolution,
tLtreis. perhaps, some ground to hope for their
s? cial and pt h'ical improvement. The succesa of
tbe revolutitmists proves that the aentiment of the
people is oppoetd to priestcraft as well as against
U. litar; despoti-m.
It ia true that tbe revolutionary leaders in the
tariius province* hate taken up pi*itiow in the
countij, separated from each other, instead of seek
b| to strengthen themselveB by a combination of
th? ir power in a closer conneenon. Thus, VHaurri
in he Dortheaa'erD, Alvarez in the southern parta,'
and ether* elsewhere, stem to govern their respec- '
tive provit.ee? as if tone was no common interM

as it does, in a mere difference ot opinion ai to tho

istnnnently proper that it should be solved bp

aildtration ia a mode of atttlemeut ao far su?
per, or to a rtsort to lawxM* and wata, that it is
useless to enlarge upon its exceeding fitness. We
aie certain that both nations must desire to extri?

We. iu our turn, should, in this settlement of
our present diapute, pay like h ?mage to our own
fundano mal principle.
Tbe man w horn we ought t<> select as onr mem?
ber of this nnjicablrj tribunal should be, not a eovc
reign, but one emiuent oa acoount of his learning,
and wboee atudies aud pursuits in life have made
his mind familiar with international law, aud quali?
fied him in a sp ci.al manner to elucidate and ex?
plain ire milt rent shades of meaning. A statewmaa
or professor, whoae legal retcarcue* aud writings
have made tit opinion acknowledged authority iu
such matters, will evidently be the fittest man for
such a duty. Among the aovereufua of Europa,
Alexander II., Louis Napoleon, and Frederick Wil?
liam of Prusaia, are the only ones to whom this
case might safely be intrusted. But anieog
tbo learned men of Germany and Franco
tl ere are many better qualified by far to execute
impartially and satisfactorily this del-cate oflloe.
Tbo name of Alexander Von Humboldt has already
been mentiooe*?, and ho certainly enjoys more def
ereDtial conaideration among the American people
than even in Europe. But he has never devoted
hia uiit.d to tbe atudy of the exact legal meaning
of word*, tn public documeuta, and hi* advanced age
would finbid hia giving hisatrict attention to a sub?
ject wholly new to him, ao that if be abould accept
the umpire ship be would be compelled toaak the ad?
vice of itiuiti one better conversant with such mat?
ter*. Europeans eminent for their scientific attnin
tmn a, are ruled by the adage: "Everybody can't do
every thing. * It was of old, aud still is cu<tomarf
in Germany to submit disputes arising between
petty sovereigns, as well as affairs of private in
letrst but ui.usual complication, to the deciaioo
of the faculi) tf jtiiteprudetice in some University.
