The STATE OF THE TEXAS QUEsTIoN-The
above Is the heading Of an article in the govern
ment journal, Ell Sigio Dies Nmeuf. The ques-
ton is called, in the heightened language OF Mexi-
cans, transcendental question. The substance
Of the article, and we might say of the policy OF the
government, is summed up in few words, to wit
"War on account of Texas, either as means Of
recovering that country of preserving it. Is called
for by no one, and is desired by no one" In the
same article, which we may Justly regard as mani
festo OF the government policy, It is said, "every
one knows the disastrous result OF the campaign Of
lSS5..now, at this time, the re-conquest Of Texas
would cost ten times more than Texas is worth
and above all, if it was ours sacrifices would be
sufhcient to retain II IN our possession" Here is
good sense This may show the disposition OF the
Mexican government and the people, for none ap-
pear so mad to think of gaining Texas or any
thing else, by war on account of Texas And this
being, as 1t appears to be, the general feeling Of
the country, II Is not TO be expected that any
party, on the pretext of Texas will be able TO revo-
lutionize or overthrow the present Government
We may, therefore, dscredit all the runners of re-
vol s IN Mexico we may expect durable peace
to be concluded with our country we may expect
California to be conceded and the putting down
the instruction Of Urea and the revolt Of Sonora
while Gen. Paredes seems to be faithfully doing his
duty, in watching Gen. Taylor at Corpus Christi
all this seems to prove the stability OF the present
government, and to forbode peaceful termination
OF all difficulties. The great evil under which
Mexico now labors il the insolent and bold incur
sons OF the Indians, who, by accounts which we
publish to day, seem to have taken the department Of
Durango, to threaten other departments and to pre-.
sent the prospect OF a more formidable enemy than
that unhappy country ever had. Yet il is to be be-
lieved the government will still have energy and
means enough to put an end to these dreadful dis
orders, TO save the country from dismemberment,
and recuperate its existence
