Jlllsco, Coahuia, Vera Cruz. Tabasco,

New Mexico did not vote. There is, too,
a dispute about the vote Of Oejaca, q revo
luton having occurred there since the vote
was gwen 10 Gen. Herrera, and the new
Legislature voted for Santa Anna.
The slst article Of The constitution pro
vides that to make an election valid, three
/ fourths of the States entitled TO vote mus
vote. As there were % States entitled t
vote al the late election, aud only 10 vote
were cast, being less than three fourlhs, III,
election has failed. Nor can Congress pro
coed 10 elect, says the Repubhcano, 70
having concluded It's mission of forming
constitution aud sworn to The Fundamental
code, il has no power left 10 exempt itsel
from the operation Of the law. We ar
not sufficiently familiar with Mexican con
l;utIonal Law TO Judge Of this.
