TURBAco, June b. 1851.
Turbaco is the town in New Granada where
Santa Anna has resided during the last year The
SisLo makes the following remarks on the above
production -
"The preceding exposition is, among many
others, small estim opial of the gratitude and re-
spect with which the illustrious Gen. Santa Anna
is regarded in the republic Of New Granada. In
these times Of calumny and envy, these demonstra-
tioAs Of affection towards o compa.rot who, in his
own country, has been the victim Of ingratitude and
perfdy, are a consolation to all good Mexcans.
"Ssnta Arna has received all kinds OF homage
during his residence abroad. In Jamaica he was
visited and complimented by the authorities and
principal inhabitants. In Carthagena he was re-
v.d with the most positive proofs Of respect and
admiration; ard the illustrious New Gcanadiau
people regard him as a martyr to human injustice,
and as the fortunate Mexican who alone combated
the Spaniards. the French, and the Ameri san,.
"His grateful country to-day remembers the
glorious triumph of Tampico /; day, the friends
and admirers Of this unique man take pleasure in
laying before the world a document ev .ncing the
high estimation in which their hero is held. Let
the envy of his unjust detractors be overwhelmed
with shame let his enemies be confouadel by the
praises Of foreign people, and let them tremble
at the prestige of his name. The hour Of justice
approaches"
II viii be seen by these remarks of the Sglo that
the partisans Of Santa Anna low boldly proclaim
their attachment. and do not attempt 70 hide their
opinion tha, the .ement for his restoration to
power is approaching. Indeed, the symptoms Of O.
coming conyulsion so evident that one who
pays the slightest attent to Mexican politics can
fail 10 discover them. Whether Santa Ann is to
be the successful successor Of Arists remains to be
seen.
