Dictatorship having been preached and discussed has
oeen generally condemned and abandoned Should,
then, Congress skulkas they probably wl--from the
responsibility OF advising peace the course to be pursued
by Mr. Tst and Gen Scott TO treaty is not very
obvious.
In reading the Mexican papers il is very clear that the
different States have ceased to anticipate prolonged re-
slsance the part of the capital TO the American arms
In view OF the speedy fall OF the city, they congratu
lahng themselves upon the wisdom of the federal sys-
lem Had they been placed under the rule of CONSOLE
daled central government, the fall of the capital would
have involved the subsection of the whole country. The
federal system (they reason) has created centres of
actions and even il the capital succumbs the States,
each one for itself, will resist the ascendency of the
American arms and refuse to recognise a treaty which
may be forced upon the central government
Out OF views OF this nature has grown a coalition
among the States of Jasco San Luis Poios Zacatecas
Mexico, Queretaro and Aguascalentesh latter claim
ing to be State though not so recognised by the cons
tuition of 1924. This combination of States is re-
garded by the editors of FL Republicanoas alarming
feature OF the times threatening TO aggavae the anarchy
which before prevailed in Mexico. The coalition have
published long address the nation The documents
almost as important to this country to Mexico In it
are represented the views OF leading in the most
powerful States 1t will be seen that they look 10 the
triumph at to the occupation of the capital by
General Scott and the conclusion of treaty of peace
10 SUCH treaty these States do not propose to submit
address of the Coatfon ofths States of
Jaseo. San LUIS Potos Zacatecas, Rereo, Querfaro,
and Agnascaiientes, to the Nation:

Far from being disheariened by such concentration of

States of the value and of people for whom
