before them the documents issued by the
leaders. with the fules; details furnished by
cur South Western exchanges as 20 the
operations of these patriots. TINS infOrm2-
ton is momentous if we take into account
is probable, or rather possible, consequent
ees, and IT'S more than probable melting
causes. The movement upon the face OF 1t
seems TO be of purely Mexican origin.
The causes assigned for taking up arms IN
the several proDunciamentos OF the MeXi-
can leaders relate solely to domestic and
local grievances, and the whole affair may
rroye to be merely one Of those aimiess
and endless connections which have al
ficted the Mexican territory during the last
uuarter of a century The names Of the
leaders, Carvaial and Canales, especially,
are the same that have been associated with
an almost countless succession of political
oyertuns in the circle of Mexican States,
including Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and
Nuevo Leon. On several former occasions
these States, or some portion OF them, nave
threatened secession from the Mexican
Union Our readers NAV recOllect the at
tempted organization, several years ago, OF
"tbe Republic of the Rio Grande, and the
faithlessness of the Mexican revolutionlsts
toward the Texan allies. The retreat OF
Captain or Colonel Jourdan through more
than three hundred miles of Mexican terri
tory, after the party, which he had come to
succor, had cOalesced with It's enemies,
both parties surrounding and attempting to
DESTROY him, is Characteristic feature IN
the history of these frontier movements.
We are reminded of this fact by observing
that the present revolution is in the same
manner, carried on by the JOINT arms OF
Mexican revolutionists and Texan rangers
and freebOOters
Possibly this new outbreak may prove AS
contemplate and ridiculous in It's result as
its predecessors. We are induced, how
ever, to think that it is promoted by differ
ent influences, and that there is no little
danger that it may prove an element OF re-
newed agitation in this country. Our read
ers will remember that repeated rumors of
discomfort have of late come from the Texan
frontier, on account of the inability to re-
cover fugitive slaves from the other side of
the border, and the threats made by the
Texan frontiersmen TO invade the MeXl-
can territory, and bring back their slaves
by force. At the same time, the import
duties collected by the Mexican functional
ries upon goods sold at Brownsville and
elsewhere on the eastern side of the river,
70 be taken into Mexico, are REGARDED as an
intoerable burden, quite as much we sus-
pect by the free and easy traders on the
eastern, as by their less astute and more
submissive neighbors on the western shore
of the river From these and similar con-
siderations, we have little doubt that Texan
intrigue has been ct work, and that II has
been quite as efficient In putting this new
revolution on foot as any cause operating
spontaneously upon the minds of the Mexi-
cans.
Ever since the Texan revolution it has
been favorite project with many OF the
restless spirits in that State to annex the
northern provinces of Mexico; and since the
subsistence of the first feeling OF patriotic
indignation on the part OF the MeXicans at
the Texan revolt, influential men have not
been wanting in that quarter who have in
their hearts desired the same consumma-
ton. Canales and Carvajai are among
them. Among the common people, how
ever, a prejudice against foreigners and
heretcs and rebels is not quite SO easily
laid aside. Hence they have to be man
aged. Hence pains is taken in the pro-
nunciamentss TO disclaim the intention oil
annexation. The very disclaimer is sus-
picious. There is no reasonable doubt that
the leaders Of the ovement, and the shrewd
but reckless American traders on the from
tier, understand each other and hence the
appearance of Texan company at the
storming of Camargo, notwithstanding the
former treachery Of their associates.
The three States included in this opera
ton can hardly separate alone from Mex
leo. Ii they succeed, their movement
must extend west TO the Sierra Madre and
include the greater part Of chihuahua, Du-
range, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi.
Otherwise they can have but an artificial
and hardly tenable frontier. The entire
erritery east of that mountain range CON-
prises about third Of all that remains of
