SANTA ANNA's INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
SenOres Deputies--I have just taken the
oath which the law presoribes, and in do
ing so, ought to accompany il With mani
festation of my sentiments, and the mo-
tiyes of my conduct to this respectable
committee of the legislative body.
The events which have taken place in
the capital are known, and are of such a
character as TO bind me to give them
speedy aud pacific termination. Sur
rounded By difficulties of all kinds, inter
ested in what is the most important and
essential for the whole nation, as is the
sustaining of strong and decided strng
gle with foreign power, in which nothing
less is involved than the existence Of the
nation, il would be the best of evils TO
enter into contest with those who ought
to unite in repelling the common enemy.
These discords ought to disappear at the
imperIous voice o. patriotism which calls
upon the sons of the country to have but
one W i'll and aim. The moments have been
urgent--I have seen the forward steps of
the enemy-I have rushed TO the field to
repel him, and even at the moments of
doing so, have bean forced to leave
brave and victorious army, and to come
hither and assume power which / have
repeatedly said was repugnant to my feel
ings, and which had decided never to
undertake.
That which has been and ought TO be
an object Of aspiration and desire, is for
me an enormous sacrifice. But am all
for my country, and shall ever serve II,
without thinking what it may cost me to
do that which the nation desires | should
do. have entered upon the Supreme
Magistracy because ! have seen that II
was the sole legal means of terminating
the disturbances of this capital, and be-
cause ] believe shall thus be able TO
facilitate the prosecution OF the war, and
60 save the Independence Of Mexico, which
! wish to presen. unsullied and brilliant to
the world which is beholdingus.
have before me the committee Of the
sovereign Congress, that august body
whose decisions have respected and shall
constantly continue to respect. It's de-
cisions will be my invariable guide, aud
] have firmly resolved TO preserve a pure
union with the legislative body, which
union win give US final victory and the
re. esta blishment of internal and external
