queruous paper in Alexandra continues to grumble
about Santa Annals having been permitted to return TO
Mexico. 1t speaks OF the mystery never having been
cleared up although the President has explained in his
last annual message. Il complains of Santa Annals being
permitted to animate his nation, and lead the war
Now, ask, who ought to regret it, What friend
of armies, what admirer of their unparalleled glory
can complain of the best and most influential general
whom Mexico owns, gathering and leading her armies,
stranng every employing every resource putting
forth all his strength and all his skill and in spite of all
being beaten and overwhelmed by triumphant army
The greater his preensions, the greater is their victory
For my part, would not that their armies had been led
by an inferior man. would that this infatuated and
obstinate should have had any cause say at is
well Tor you that you had TO cope with inferior men,
Would that Santa Anna had been at our head, and then
you would have seen how completely you would have
been beaten You would then have had no cause TO
boast of your success and plume yourselves upon your
conquest You would then have been vanqushed at
Buena Vista. The Castle would have deed you and his
genius directing our numbers and valor, would have

1t well, therefore, in this point of view that Santa
