MEXICO.

All accounts from this unhappy country con
cur IN representing it as on the very eve o.
complete anarchy. NominaIly repIblc, IFS
people know not, in truth, the meaning OF the
word. The government is, in fact, no govern
ment at all. II is not able to sustain itself, 10
protect It's citizens, or TO restrain them from
marauding upon their neighbors. Every thing
indicates It's speedy dissolution.
Several Of the States of Mexico are in open
revolution, and the Federal Government being
wholly destitute Of authority, is altogether un-
able to suppress them. In the meantime, the
whole country from Vera Cruz TO Acapulco,
aud from the Rio Grande TO the lsthmus, is
oyerrun with robbers. These men hesitate not
to appear in the streets Of the large cities, IN
open day, confident in their own security,
either from the weakness of the government,
It's fears, or the strong interest which many OF
the most influential citizens have in preserving
them. They habituuiIy set alllaw atdehance.
Nor is this all, nor even the worst. Taking
advantage Of the disOIdered state OF the Re
public, the incursons OF the Indians have, of
late, been more frequent and more destructive
than they have ever been before. At one point
alone, Durango, they oyerrau the country,
killing large number OF persons, men, women
and children, carrying oil 5000 head of cattle,
and putting to death all the shepherds they
could find. In several other States, their in
roads have been quite destructive. There can
be but one remedy for all these mistortunes,
aud thai is annexation TO the United States.--
That would prevent anarchy, cause the cessa
ton of Indian depred atoms, and enable them
to live in peace under their own vines, and
their own fg trees. Tie Mexlcans, bitter us
Gre their preJudices against Us, must come TO
see this in the end. Ihey may hate US, but
they love their own liv es and fortunes, and
they know that they hold both by tenure as
precurious it is possible for tenure to be, un
der the present government of their country.
The States which are at this moment in re
vo iuton are. Vera Cruz, Jalisco, Sinaloa.
Tampico, San Luis Potosi, and Tamaulipas.
This last Stale has already declared, through
her supreme government, in favor of anncxa.
ton. She is separated from Texas only by the
Rio Grande. That smiling country is ever
iastingly in fell view o: her, reprovng her for
her submission to such government as that
Of Mexico, and inviting her to range herself
under the stripes and stais. In Vera Cruz, dis
content with the Federal government has
reached las acme. 1t is in open rebelion, and
the State government asserts that the Federal
government will not assist them, but actually
pareys with tbs rebels, :" hile they are endeo
yoring 10 overthrow the State governments
At Eazatlan, such is the deporable state Of
morals, that the Governor is in partnership with
a gang CT smugg lers, and receives bribes for
violating the revenue laws, by charging one
ship one rate, and another u different rate.
The government of Mexico can furnish no
remedy for these numerous and terrible evils.
So desperate is its condition known to be, that
men of standing and tulents cannot be obtain
ed to fill the Presidents Cabinet. There are
no funds in TIE treasury, save the remnant
Of the indemnity paid by the United States un-
der the treaty Of Guadalupe Hdalgo. When
that shall have been al spent, we cannot ina
CINE what is to be done, for the people have al
ready been ruined by taxation and extorton,
and have no more money to pay. In the mean
tLne. the government IOOhS On Will perfect
nonchalance, and will do nothing. To use the
language of a Mexican journal, which we find
in the New York Express, " il is a government
that does not govern an administration that
does not administer I'VE quote) and so it is
ridiculous at home and contemplate abroad
The nation it is added, is convinced Of this
and all its SONG, though hat divided, una
nimousIy seek for peace, well being. and the
prosperity which it could and ought to have.
Some seek relief through the laws others
hope for relet only through revolution. All
look to the general government from habit, if
from no other cause, but they all look in vau.''
1t is impossible not to see that all this has
an important bearing upon the destiny of the
United States. There must be u revolution,
aud as every revolution in Mex leo has hereto
fore been productive rather Of evil to the coun-
try than of good, it results that she must, in the
end, TO avoid the horrors OF anarchy, throw
herself into the arms of the United States
We regmd that inevitable catastrophe with
pride, not unmixed with terror. Pride, for the
noble dominions we shall have acquired, terror
Tor the safety OF the Union, agilated, as it will
again be, by slavery discussions.
