belongs to them. The people are sovereign~eo..

property and rights, thereby causing his ruin, no
other resource is left but to remove that bad SER
want, and in his place put more faithful one.
IN this case, the republic of Mexico iads itself
and more particularly the north and northwest por-
last war left them in misery and without its
territories and resources. Their property wa,
nearly all lost, without remuneration. Forty mil
lions OF dollars would not pay our losses, with ,ut
sion of which, are now doubtful, and we shall have
to spend thousands Of dollars to learn if our ri
are recognised. The savage murders our parents
and brothers, violates our wives, and carries of our
children captives; he desolates fields, and robs
us Of our property, ald tao government rem ins

the frivolous pretext that they are smuggling; al.

look out for themselves. The public funds are not
administered with honesty, and the bastard infu-

account that the atrOcious and anti republic sys-
tenn established by the ancient Spanish by
is sustained, and why the existence Of the nation
itself is exposed squanderiog its i'm resources

the school Of military despotsm az If our fathers
had not conquered our Independence and domestic
liberty. And, what is Sill more aggrav a.ing, To-
day, is that the people Of the towns are dying of

In short, the children Of the Northern towns, be-

be adopted by majority Of the towns seconding
this plan.
