The number of the "Arco Iris" of Vera Cruz, from
which the foregoing TRANSACTIONS have been made for the
Union, is dated the 10th OF Septemberthe day which is
celebrated by the Mexicans the anniversary of their
independence in the same that the 4th of July is
celebrated among us Under the editorial head of the
paper is article commencing as follows:
ozark and sombre dawns upon the republic of Mexico
the thry-seventh anniversary of its glorious indepen-
dence Dense and omnous clouds veil for the first lime
the celestial spendor of the happy of the sixteenth
of September and grief and mourning sadden the hours
which have in other years been employed in celebrating
the memory of the immortal Hdalgo, and extollng the
deeds which placed him higher elevation than Wash
ngton and Bolivar And shall the sublime work of the
martyr genius who uttered in Dolores the first cryof in
dcpendence-sha liberty so soon disappear! Shall I'M
Just aggessors destroy the magnificent edfce raised by
the hero who, with the confidence of the Just who
walked the waters by the command of the Man God
undertook the no less difficult work of the regeneration
of his country2'
After continuing in this style through paragraphs.
the editor says:
The illustrious representatives of Mexico, Jalisco
and Zacaecas and the board of coalition Of Pueba, give
the first example, and have to-day the pleasure OF
inserting in columns the emphatic protest which they
have addressed to the general government through the
channel of Don Francisco NJ de Oaguibel governor OF
the State of Mexico who, in his letter enclosing it,
presses in the most decided the unwingness Of
the people TO sanction any peace which does not com
pletey save the national honor Let hope then, thai
their proceedings will he ardenty seconded, and that the
