here, en- r0ute for Idmplco. Inc design
however, was not relinquished, but grew IN
strength as the time for the evacuation OF
the country by our army approached, and
when our tents were struck, and our troops
marched 10 the mole, tho citizens followed
them with tears and the most sorrowful eX-
pressjors, trusting soon 10 SEQ them back,
and greet them as brothers.
Our officers and citizens were assured by
the most influential people in T'ampico and
the adjoining towns and villages, that the
first favorable opportunity would be seized
ON to declare their Independence, and when
this was done, they should open wide their
arms to einigrapts from the Emitted States, by
whose enterprise and industry they Hoped to
redeem their country from waste and devas-
tation, and make il great and prosperous.-
Th roRnhout tho war, and since peace was
declared, u correspondence was kept up be-
tween conspicuous citizens in Mexico and
this country relative TO the plan OF operations.
That plan was based, as a condition prece-
dent, upen a distinct prontancidmentO, or de-
~clafatlon OF Independence, by the citizens OF
the Northern States of Mexico. No move
ment was to be made, or will he made here,
until the people themselves shall first throw
off the Mexican Government and solicit the
aid aud cooperation Of our citizens. When
that is done, the guarantees Of citizenship,
grants of land and full protection are secured,
an immense number Of our people will flock
10 the rich valley of the Sierra Madrc.
A large nu'nbor, not less than a hundred,
OF officers, who participated in the Glurics Of
The HeNlcan war, OF all gradesr from the
hrghesp to ne lowest, and many OF them OF
great distlncuon, have rendered thelT services
Tor amy enterprise having In view the estah-
lIshnient OF a new republic on the other side
OF the Rio Grande. Persons, too, OF large
capital have offered TO advance funds to carry
out the enterprise upon security OF the public
domain, and not less than FIVE thousand men
are enrolled and ready to proceed at a mo-
ment's warning. The leaders in this move
mont are not men of that reckless and fool
hardy character TO engage in any expedition
which does not give strong assurances Of its
practicability. Nor will they sanction or
cooperate in any movement of an uRla ful
character. The absurd clause iu The Tfist
treaty which obligates the United States to
listed at the time the treaty was signed, is so
clearly nncons'''Htiona 'na' we iee' certain
tnas W. a., tTIa uarSa,ne who arc ;n,im;-
dated bu ,ha, clause. need not oppyehend ann
interference on The part Of the United STATES
against any attempt that they' (oy tne and OIL
course, of officers, men and money furnished
by the limited States,) may make to achieve
their independence. 1t would be a striking
illustration OF the absurdity of this stipula-
lion in Mr.. Trist's treaty, if the United States
should be called on by Mexico to aid her in
suppressing a revolution OF her own citizens.
The character Of the persons engaged IN this
enterprise should protect 1t from the ealum-
MES of those who are continually denounetng
them as free-booters, land pirates, &c. They
! are men whose ambition 1t is to tmProre their
