opportunity of expressing our real opinion
through the local press, we cannot select
more worthy and able advocate than
YOURSELF to give them publicity, and 10 sus-
tain them with talent, for we believe they
do not vary from your own opinions. We
Will limit ourselves to state to you, briefly
project, In whose favor is the majority Of
the inhabitants Of the Nothern part Of this
Republic. Please mediate on it; publish
it, and discuss it, with all reflection. We
are convinced that its realization, which,
by the by. does not present any great diff
Guilty, would have immense and almost
Instantaneous results for the material pros
perity,as wellas for the moral Improvement
Of these countries. The government Of
Texas canno. but fix its attention seriously
upon a question of such interest and i'm
portance; and if not guided by narrow
minded and fatal spirit Of locality, or by
idle prejudlces Of origin, must discover IN
our plan by the surest means Of consolida-
ting the advantages il hath acquired by its
conquest, bringing at once into existence
a rich and powerful Republic, independent
aqnally Of Washington as of Mexico.
From the above statement you will per-
celve that il is intended to form federation
between Texas and some of the Mexican
States, who only, on account Of having
been compelled by force, have renowned
the Federal compact Of 1924, and whose
interests have always been, and are at this
time more than ever Numerically opposed
to those of the Central Metropolis. The
States in question ought to be Tamaulipas,
San Louis Potosi, Zacatecas, part of lis
co, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Durango, SIN
alon, Chihuagua, Sonora, and the territo-
ries ofboth Californians,and New Mexico.
If you exempt The Priests, who by this
time have lost all their influence; the mill
tary commandants, who are generally des-
pissed; and a very small number ofimbecle
parIlzans Of retrograding principles-the
whole population of these States is anxious
to separate from the Southern part, where
all the elements calculated to perpetuate
the AristrocraIic prerogatiyes, the military
tyranny, and the ignominious yoke Of
superstition are combined.
A small assistance on The part Of The
1crians would soffice 10 enable US 10 re-
cover our liberties, and to secure them up
on immovable bases. The new social
compact ought TO rest upon the principles
OF u real lederation,t that to is say ,on the one
part on the most absolute independence of
each State, in regard to its interior admin
istration; and on the closet bonds of union
IN regard to the common interest. If TO
these fundamental principles favorable
Legislation, like that Of The United States
of America, be added, and with the aug
nentation Of the population, which would
increase much faster than that Of our neigh
bors, on account of our mild climate, and
the agricultural and mining wealth, which
here offers, without dangers or suferings,
an unbounded field for undertakings Of all
kinds-.ihis Republic would present prod
ICY.
Let the Texans publish Manifest in
this sense: let them march towards us an
auxiliary corps Of some thousands Of men,
and there is no doubt that in less than two
months the Mexican soldiers, disseminated
in small garrisons, in the midst Of people
that despises them, would be driven out
from country which they Cypress, and are
desolating by the most insolent robberies.
The government Of Mexico is in the last
agonies. Notwithstanding the forced loan
which it is exaciing, and The continued
levies Of men which it is causing to be
made, its Golfers are without treasures, and
its ranks without soldiers. The expedition
against Texas was the ultimatum of its ef-
forts and it would be impossible for it at
present TO put into the field division Of
two thousand effective men. The only oc-
curence which could give it and vigor,
would be the return Of Santa Anna, and all
the liberals Of this country were shocked TO
see the government Of Texas consent in his
being set at liberty. Those who could
have taken such fatal determination,
surely have not known the famous impost-
er with whom they have been treating, nor
had they an exact idea Of the actual state
of things in Mexico.
We all know that Santa Anna is nei-
Their soldier, general or statesman;
but we also know that he is the most for
ward and barefaced intriguer, and that he
knew how TO make himself indispensable
to the Banditli who tyrannize over us, and
formidable to the masses that suffer them
selves to be oppressed. It appears they
think yonder that his appearance among
us wouldproduce revolutions, which would
cause important diversions in favor Of
Texas; but TO those who see the real stu
alton of things from near, it must have
been evident that the temperance Of Santa
Anna on our political scenery ,rould haze
