MORE ANNEXATION.

The revolution in Mexico, of the progress of
which We have kept our readers advised, PROM
lses another opening for the extension OF the area
or Freedom. The movement covers territory
about as large Texas, with a population Of
100000 to 100000. The manifesto, the Spa
triots" al the heal of the revolution declares GER
tain changes their objects, o: course saying
nothing about annexation: and the pro-sayery
papers very kindly informed the public that an
nexatlon formed no purt Of the objects Of the
movement, and was dsclamed This is not true.
1t was neither dlsclaiIned nor avowed
Bat II any sane man entertains any donlt of
the purpt Sc and of what must be the result of
the revolution, we ask him 10 read To following
extracts from an article in the New Orleans
Delta:
The intelligence of a successful revolution in
Mexico, will excite profound interest throughout
the country, and particularly in The South ohore

The country embraced in the scope of the de-
signs of the revolutuni>ts, forms one Of the
richest and most valuable PORTIONS of Mexico
and is admirably adapted to the production Of our
staples, as tor grazing and other proposes

SION 10 HE Southern portion OF hiS Union. Re
cent experience has demonstrated the insecurity
and perpetual ANNOYANCE to which our people are
subjected, from the want of a good, safe and
proper natural boundary, separating oar territory
from that of Mexico. The Rio Grande is no
boundary AT all Savage tribes and aWless rob-
bers can commit their dppradaiions on one side
and pass to the other side a facility which gives
perfect impunity to depreciation, and keeps the
whole frontier in a continual state Of disorder
and disturbance. A more secure and aiftctua
boundary will be found in Sirrea Madre, the pas
SEES of which can be easily guarded. When the
treaty of Guadaloupe was under considerations
we strongly advocated the Sierra Madre line. and
demonstrated the impracticability of the Rio
Grande boundary. There is moi n man who ha.
not been painfully impressed with the inter in
security of that line, and with the necessity OF
acquiring the territory north Of the Sierra Ma
DIRE.
We rejoice that a movement has been started
with that object. Ii will command our warm
support. The extraordinary proofs of hostility

lately been given at the North in their opposition
to Cuban Independence, lave impressed us more
strongly than ever with the necessity of PROMPT
