The poster was most abusive in tone against all “ Yankee Gringos” and called on all patriotic Mexicans to rise and arm themselves; and promised them, if they would stand to gether, a most glorious victory over these “ Yankee Hogs.” A citizen of Cottage Grove is in receipt of a letter from the in terior of Mexico that brings the information that nothing is to be seen or heard but the drilling and arming of the people to conquer the gringos, and so ignorant are the people of that country gen erally, that they believe the thing is possible. Men who understand the situ ation, and no man without a knowledge of the Mexican char acter and the Mexican country, can understand it, say that: “ I f our troops are withdrawn from Mexico now without the people of that country first learning to respect this country because of a knowledge and fear of its power, it will be as much as the life of an American is worth for the next thirty years, to venture on Mexican soil beyond the range of guns on our battle ships.” At the present time the great bulk of Mexicans know little of the power of this country and have little faith in our ability to take care o f ourselves at home or our citizens abroad. And after tak ing possession of one of their seaports, if we evacuate it with out some reason that can be made clear to the Mexican mind, which is incapable of comprehending such a move only as a military necessity, their contempt for our country and our flag will mean the confiscation o f the property of all Americans in Mexico, and the prompt execution of the own ers who have been so indiscreet or so unfortunate as to remain there. Mediation, looking to the com promise of any misunderstanding, is to the average Mexican a cowardly method of avoiding the licking he believes his country is capable of administering to US.
