declared him Dictator-Gnti-S Santa Anna
(headed by Valencia) demurred, turned
their arms against the Dictator, and drove
him and his party from San Luis PolosI;
and that the Dictator was falling back In
the direction of the city of Mexico. ms
was very natural route for him to take,
were he driven from his lines at San LUIS,
considering the position of affairs IN this
section.
The people here are talking strong OF
Territorial Government, and think they
are more serious about it since gen. Rear
ney's proclamation has been known
among them. | cannot see the least OBJ
lection TO the course Gen. X. has pursued,
and the good sense of the American peo-
pie will sustain him. Closet politicians
know nothing of these people. Conf
dence and sympathy are thrown away
upon them. Not an Indian chief who
rOams at large through his boundless
plains and hills-without example TO guide
him, without laws to make him honest
that is not more sincere, in whom more
confidence can be placed, than in Santa
Anna, Ampudia or Mejia. And our Go.
vernment will see, from The material she
has got 10 work upon, that she must
change her concilIiatory policy for one
more rigid, more cOncil}iatory. Things
have changed since we came, here or else
at that time were but little understood -
The people are not ready to fly into the
arms Of our Government at the fire Of the
first gun, but the reverse. The military
aspirants are prevented by their people
from making a peace with the United Sta
tes.-l do not believe there is a single
puisatlon of their hearts, unless from in
tsrest or fear, which is with US; nor can
any man whose views or opinions are IA.
Vorable 20 US raise to power or retain il
long without a revolution. Why, then,
sprinkle ''pears before swine?'
