The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-01-23

Make An ofNioss.-The por del Pueblo, one Of
the leading Mexican papstsj gifes sid view OF the
condition Of the republic. It's statements are doubt
lsss to be taken with grain Of allowance ba' thsy
chow, 10 some extent, the feelings by which the par
ty OF Paroles is animated OF the administration OF
the departments the writer says:
"The pen of jeremiah could not adequately de-
scribe the fearful ravsges recently committed by the
wild sHysses on our frontier settlements. We have
received papers from Saltllo, Monterey, Durango
and Zacateeas In those departments the Knife and
the hrtbrand turn entire villages into rivers Of blood
and heaps OF ashes There are constantly enacted
those frightfu tragedies SO dnth Noticed; so often
lamented. There are felt the awful effects OF that
guilty neglect, that deadly apathy, that ethargic
slumber of our governments living shame 10 civil
zatlon TO religion, TO humanity there the wretched
inhabitants pray with imposing looks-but alas! in
ysin;-for protecting arm to save their wives and
daughters from pollution End murder. Year follows
year, and brings relief, respite 10 the dteadfu
sacrifice Of thousands Of human victims. The press
Of the departments is filed with suppicatons TO put
stop to such atrocities; but they fall on deaf
Meanwhile tributes, monopolies. and custom-houses
are kept In full force
In regard to Texas, the same writer asserts that
the province is gone forever and that great many
other Mexican proyiDces are prepared TO follow her
example. We should think, II his own description
OF the probable superiority Of Texas, 40 one OF the
United States, has any truth in II, that the other
PROVINCES 10 WHICH uHucE no very
strong temptation TO stay where they are.
Texas is gone-gone forever and beyond redemP-
ton 70 our natural enemies the Anglo Americans,
who hnow blit too well how TO estimate US at our
just value. Let not be decelttd BY the promised
yindication of our rights so pompously pafaded In
public speeches and official documents. Our threats
are paper threats as was justly observed by one OF
the bodest statesmen in the neighboring republic.
Texas, we repeat it, is lost TO Mexico and here we
forced 10 a confessional bitter one, indeed.
That department, wrested from us by an act Of
usuTpaton aid perfdy never before equaed, will al
once start on new career OF Improvement and
prospery--safe from savage lnroads, arbitrary ex-
actions unjust prohibitions and monopoles, fer
tile soil viii pleniiflly reward the honest labor OF
the husbandmsn, the mechanic arts Hi flourish
each citizen will be free to arm himself for his own
and his country's defence, and each will have the
right 10 PRACTISE unmolested the religion which his
conscience dictates. Texas, by renouncing her
separate sovereignty, will cease TO be, heretofore
a country Of outlaws, and become part of power
full nation, whose growing prosperity will shed It's
benehCent influence over the new territory Such
is the destiny of that department, severed from US
aud now forming part Of the American Union. The
tendency Of an example 30 ponicious Is clear TO all
In another part OF the same article II is said
"The numerous towns composing the departments
60 exposed to the deptedations Of the Indians have
become weary Of suppltathe in vain for protection;
their power Of endurance is exhausted, and the
spirit Of aonality which binds them to the Next
can republic is well nigh exungushed. Indeed,
when they contrast their present destitute situation,
the dreadful future which awaits Them crushed
under the burden OF taxation in every FORM in daily
dread Of savage attacks,-when they contrast all
this with .he blessings Of safety and plenty, the
cure tenure OF PROPERTY, the freedom Of trade es
sental to develop the resources OF young people,
all based upon institutions truly republican, it re-
quires no prophet to forete the consequences"
Again:
4" But IL were vain to attempt TO stay the destiny
which impels our beloved country We see that
Texas is not the only loss which threatens the re-
public. Trmsulipas, New Leon, Coahuila, New
Mexico, Chlhunhua, Dtrsngo, Saeateeas, and San
Luis, are threatened with dreadful end. IL has
long since been proposed desperate alternative,
to establish northern Mexican republic The
scheme is KEEP, alive, whilst the reasons which gave
birth to h are daily acquiring more weight-all
hopes of less epiotsble state Of things being an
INITIATED. A powerful and sagacicts r-tion, profit
ing by our dissensions, already stretches out her
hand TO seize the prize The example of Texas
holds good prospects Of success; and whilst the
savsges are strewing the ground with tie bleeding
limbs OF our brethren, robbing our women Of their
honor, and firing our towns, there are in those de
partrnens numbers OF influential men, rendered per
fectly desperate by their misfottunes, who read
to change their nationality"
The avowed object of the writer is to bring the
sting government of Mexico into odium with the
uSaple bu, his arguments, If generally read in Mex
20 would have a very different effect.
