in that paper. 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our troops are withdrawn from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.
