THE PLAN OF GUApALAJARA.

| From the New Orleans Pcayune, Feb. Is.
The latest advices from Mexico advise as that an
other revolution has been successful in that country
The plan OF Guadalajara Is now declared to be tn
political creed Of the country, and Gen. Uraga til.
soul OF the revolution, is on his way to the CAPT. o
the republic. The downfall of the late gc;rhmen'
has presented the desired opportunity f. several sec

anistas low tariff and high tariff men, republicans
and absoutsts all pressing their specifics upon the
people.
The successful revolution, or rather the plan OF
Guadalajara, embodies these two points:-First il
recognizes the republican representative system and
the present federation, and calls for the immediate
election of a new Congress, to be composed Of two
deputies from each State. Secondly, it demands the
immediate return Of Santa Anna to the country.
The first OF these points is undoubtedly the desire OF
the great majority Of the people of Mexico, and we
have no doubt, will be insisted upon, with some
slight notifications, as the principal feature of her
political institutions. The second is the habitual
turning in time of danger of the Mexcans to the
man who undoubtedly is the greatest that country
has produced.
Ii we could have faith in his political honesty or
in the existence of any other motive than selishness
in his bosom, might believe his return to the re-
public would be productive Of good. But his his
tory tells us that every return he has had to power
has been quickly followed by rejection and expu
sion, arising from the repulsve character of the
measures and policy which he has endeavored to
force upon the Mexican people.
We cannot believe that the present instance, SINH
lar as it is in its to those of the past will
differ from it in its results Santa Anna may return
to Mexico, and assume power there. We cannot but
think it will be Of short duration though possibly
productive of great results. Many circumstances
induce to believe that the revolution is not ended
and that it will not be ended for long time to come
Santa Anna has new circumstances, new principles,
and new men to struggle with.
In many Of the States Of Mexico, both the govern
ment and the people are imbued with an absolute
want Of confidence in federal government, which
has brought them order social security peace
at home or honor abroad The great distance of
many Of the important States from the capital pre-
cludes their receiving protection benefit from the
federated resources OF the country; and while the fe-
deral government exacts from them contributions its
Ggs is powerless for their defence. Thus we see Ia
maulpas, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, entertaining
the idea Of a Sierra Nevada republic; Mchoacan and
Jaisco longing for the sectional disbursement of the
duties collected in their ports on the Pacific, and
portion, at least, OF the 1sthmus States Of Puebla
Vera Cruz, Guerrero and Oajaca, contemplating a
coalition OF union, somewhat like the Zolveren Of
