Excerpt from French Interference in Mexico: Speech of Hon. J. A. McDougall, of California, in the Senate of the United States, on Tuesday, February 3d, 1863 The Senate having under consideration the resolutions submitted by Mr. McDougall, on the 19th of January last, concerning our relations with France and Mexico - Mr. McDougall said: Mr. President: I should have preferred to have had the resolutions to which I now call the attention of the Senate presented by some older Senator than myself, and particularly by some Senator whose relation to the Administration at present in authority would have secured to the subject of the resolutions a more general and careful consideration. I have, however, been compelled to think that gentlemen have purposely and persistently shut their eyes to the position France has assumed, not only towards Mexico, but towards this Government; and it is only after grave consideration, impelled by the strongest sense of duty, that I have asked of Congress the expression of its opinion on the subject. I assure Senators that I have not presented these resolutions with any partisan purpose. I have not the shadow of a disposition to assault those to whom first and most immediately belongs the initiative in this business. It is perhaps true that special circumstances, and the more immediate concern of our people on the Pacific coast in the movements of France, furnish reasons why I should have watched French policy more carefully, and why I should feel more alarmed at its development, than most of those belonging either to the executive or legislative departments of the Government. I do not hope to present all the facts and considerations that move me to my conclusions; if time permitted, the subject embraces too wide a field for any mere oral discussion. The most I have promised to myself has been to call the attention of Congress and the Government to the subject, and secure that consideration and action which I believe have been much too long delayed.
