The following is the Proclamation OF the Mexican
President to which we have before alluded.
Jose Joaquin de Herrera; General of Division and
President ad interim Of the Mexican Republic, to the
citizens thereof.
Be it known: That the General Congress has de-
creed, and the Executive sanctioned, the following
The National Congress of the Mexican Republic
considering
That the Congress of the United States of the North
has, by decree. which its Executive has sactioned,
resolved to Incorporate the Territory of Texas with
the American Union:
That this manner of appropratng to itself terrific
ries upon which other nations have rights, Introduces
a monstrous novelty, endangering the peace of the
world, and violating the sovereignty OF nations;
That this usurpation, now consummated to the pre-
judice of Mexico, has been in insdious preparation
for long time at the same time that the most cor
dial friendship was proclaimed and that on the part
of this Republic the existing treaties between and
those States respected scrupuousy and legally
! That the said annexation of Texas to the United
States tramples the conservative principles of
cety, attacks all the rights that Mexico has to thai
territory, is an insult to her dignity a sovereign
nation and threatens her independence and political
existence
That the law of the United States in reference t.
the annexation of Texas the United States does IL
nowise destroy the rights that Mexico has, and vii
enforce upon that department;
That the United States having trampled the prin
cipes which served basis the treaties of friend
ship, commerce, and navigation, and more especial,
to those of boundaries fixed with precision, pre-
vious to 1882, they considered violated by tina
nation;
And, finally, that the unjust spoliation of which
they wish to make the Mexican nation the victim
gives her the clear right to all her resources ant
power to resist, to the last moment said annexation
| IT is DECREED:
list. The Mexican Nation calls upon all her chill
dren to the defence of her national independence
threatened by the usurpaton of Texas, which is in
tended to be realized by the decree of annexation
passed by the Congress- and sanctioned by the Pres
dent of the United States of the North.
| I'd. In consequence, the Government will call t
arms all the forces Of the army, according to the au
hority granted it by the existing laws and, for tn
preservation of public order for the support of he
institutions, and, in of necessity, to serve
reserve to the army, the Government according TO tn
powers given it on the 9th of December, 1874 wi
raise the corps specified by said decree, under tn
name of "Defepders Of the Independence and Of III
i Ldlos." MIGUEL ARTISAN,

REDUCING WAGEs.-Thc Lowell, Mass Advertiser
says THAT the wages of many of the operatives in
one of the largest woollen corporations in that place
have been reduced oae-fourth. The same company is
about building mills for the purpose of extending
its operations, while at the same time its managers
reducing the wages of their laborers below any
former precedent. The hard laboring community
will fully understand that fat dividends to stock
holders afford surety to just and liberal wages
This is progressive system. As agriculture in N.
England decays, and the "populace" become more
dependent upon factory wages, their earnings will be
reduced until their productions will indeed be the re-
suit of pauper labor.
