Mexico into her safe-keeping.*** All this and more may beattemp* vtd in this age of political mira cles. To check the daring progress f the republic of the United States, has been openly avowed by British statesmen, and is now openly inculcated by the British writers of the present times. If tiie girdle that was proposed at Ghent to encircle this country, could not be accomplished, that is • .o reason why Great Britain will heshate now to plant her sceptre 2 a the vicinage of the U States. Americans be on your guard. Be assured that the coalition of Agitimatcs in Europe are dispos ed for a crusade against whatever people, or country that have hoist ed the b anners of liberty. Mexico free and independent, r od allied to the Uuited States by interest and gratitude as well as by the laws ot nature, would be < >i more importance to the human race and to the civilized world than any event that has occurred since the 4th day of July 1775.
