The weekly Placer herald., 1852-10-30

we nub|ished on the arrival of the last
steamer, is calculated to draw still closer
attention to the condition of that unhap-I
py country. Matters appear to be draw
ing rapidly to a crisis, and~all things be-
token change in the existing govern
ment and the substitution of some other
chieftain to keep things in order. There
is scarcely State in the confederacy
that is not torn by intestine brolls-re-
volutions in some have entirely over
thrown the legitimate State Governments,
and the usurpers have been tacitly recog-
nized by the helpless Central power. In
others, bands of victorious rebels main
tain their ground, and even make head
way, against the Government forces. In
the important State of Jalisco, Portilo-
the constitutional governor, is tOrclbly ex-
PEELED by Davia, and he in turn by Blan,
carte. In Sinola, De Vega, the governor,
in attempting to play the tyrant, was ex-
PEELED from Mazatlan, and is now prepar-
ing troops to march on and punish that
city. In Tumaulipas, Cardenas has OBJ
tained reelection by imprisoning all the
members Of the legislature opposed TO
him. The cities of Matamoras and Tam
pico have in consequence revoted, and
are now in open arms against the EXecu~
tive. In San Louis Potosi, the Govern
ment and Legislature are at violent enml-
ty, while everybody, everywhere, is furl-
Gus in dennnciation Of Arista, the timid
and imbecile President. He has lost all
respect and is powerless, to keep the
country i'm order. In this terrible state
of affairs, many of the people are turning
their eyes towards their old chief, Santa
Anna, who, amid all the vicisstudes of
his life, has had a party of strong and
active friends IN the country, ever ready
to avail themselves of circumstances to
restore him to power. Since the war
with the United States, he has been under
cloud, and none have dared openly to
advocate his return. But the complete
disorganization of the Republic and the
helpless imbecility of Arista, has encou-
ragged them to come forward and boldly
declare in his favor.
The Santanists in every State have only
been waiting some decided movement to
commence the revolution for the over
throw of Arista and the restoration of
their favorite. Such movement has
been made in Jalisco, and the programme
of the pronouncers there, lays down a
plan of operations to which all the San
tanists factions in the other States will
give their hearty adhesion, and for which
they will unquestonably make a struggle.
The government has no force to put
down the numerous independent bands of
rebels that have been starting up all over
the country on the slightest pretext. Still
less will it be able to suppress general
and powerful revolutionary movement,
like that in favor of Santa Anna. Stirring
events are brewing among our neighbors.
No man or set of men will ever be able to
keep them in order and establish the
peaceful arts among them; but there is no
doubt Santa Anna is the ablest of their
nuhIic r,on, and .ovui,i effect -Iriorc tnan
any other The federative system is to-
tally unsuited for people like the Mex
icans--they can only be kept quiet by a
strong Central government, with the will
to govern judiciousiy, and the energy and
power to enforce it,
Arista has made miserable attempt to
establish himself by muzzling the press.
He has only aggravated the evil and in
sured his own destruction. He has ex-
cited the entire opposition to the most
bitter attacks upon himself, and foreed
thousands by his violent course into the
ranks against him, who otherwise might
at least have remained neutral.
He has made faint attempt to initiate
Louis Napoleon, but timid and hesitating,
he has signaly f4i ed to create anything
but enemies. He had displayed weak
ness IN all his acts, and the country wou d
be well rid Of him. We would not be
surprised if the next intelligence informed
us Of his overthrow, and the establish
ment of a Provisional Central Govern
ment until Santa Anna could return.
