[PROPRIETORS.

verge Oh PreciPice, owing 10 It's bad gov
ernors. who only look Out for themselves,
The public funds are not administered
with honesty, and the bastard influence ol
monopolists is more powerful than the uni
vcrsal clamor o. all the Mcxicans. II is
on this account that the atrocious and anti.
republican system established by the an.
cient Spanish monarchy is sustained. and
why the existence Of the nation itself is cx
posed, squandering its immense resources,
and insulting the sovereign people. Our
children are not educated, and they want
to discipline US in the school Of military
dcspotism. as il our fathers had not con
qucred our Independence and domestic lib.
erty. And. what is still more aggravat.
ing TO day. is that tho people of the towns
are dying of hunger. tho neccssaries Of !iit
being prohibited.
In short, the children Of the Northern
towns being tired Of this oppression, re-
solve to swear. and do swear to sustain the
twelve following articles. and such others.
in accordance with these. as may be adopt
ed by majority of the towns seconding
this plan.
Here follows. substantially. the twelve
articles published above in the Guerrero
PLATFORM
These twelve articles my subordnates
swear to sustain, generally, with all their
might and boldness, fighting gallantly and
with fidelity, in accordance with the plat
form to day proclaimed, and until we ex-
pei the enemy from our territory. in order
that the frontier States may secure their
future felicity. and make the despots who
inhabit the palace Of the Montezumas I'M
derstand the clans and rights of frecmcn
shall be respected.
Viva la Libertad! Death to the tyrants!

THE WAR BEGAN.
Intelligence. on which we rely, has jus,
been received from Camargo, that sharp
skirmish has taken place between the
troops Of Col. Carvajal and the regulars
of the Government at that CITY. in which
u number of men were wounded. and
which resulted in tha details. There is no
doubt, however, that Camargo is in the
hands Of the victors, and that they are in
march for Reynoso'and Maiamoras. The
Government has so weakened itself by
sending reinlorcements to Camargo that
these places will fall easily into the hands
of the revoluiionists. We learn that Cen
evalos, commanding at Maiamoras, rcceiv-
ed the reports Of three couriers yesterday;
but what news they brought has not yet
transpired. AS there We're no demonstra-
lions Of success, ,noboas.ings.and no as the last
company Of cavalry at the disposal Of the
general was despatched last night towards
the seat of war, we infer that the Patriots
were sweeping all before them. Thus
has commenced u struggle that may re-
generate Mexico and secure for her peo.
pie justice and prosperity. Tho people
ofihe United States will not stand with
folded arms Indifferent spectators Of this
anmating scene.
LAST MOMENT.
We just hear that the commandant of
artillery on the side of the Government was
killed, and some thirty other persons, mill
tary and civil. Camargo is taken! The
fight is up.
We have just receivedby express, says
the Rio Bravo, several letters which we
give below. giving the details of the battle
at Cumargo. BY postscript in private
letter we learn that Mier and several other
towns are in the hands Of the libcrators:
