attendant dreaded consequences Since the period of the
mnsiton Of Mexico from dependence on Spanish power
dependence on the speculatons Of native adventures
she has been vicmized by those individuals who, draw
g around them the cloak of patriotism have buried in
,e tomb of misfortune the fair fame which their country
once promised and with their ill-acquired temporary
power far abused truly good and patriotic citizens
as to have their infamous names handed about a
dreaded rhyme in song to curses on the many tyrannc
acts of which they have been the authors.
The following similarity is offered suggestive OF Mex
hos career since her casting off the thaldom of SPAIN IN
which cause she fought with much renowned valor
+ and praiseworthy perseverance
Theoretical men, who entirely ignorant OF praeli-
experience formed company and built an engine con-
sncted the system of repubcanism proposing TO run
the unreliable track of ignorance and superstition
after considerable trouble the engine was set in notion
and the public satisfied to be conveyed in its train
Those however who intrusted with the driving it.
either from cupdy ignorance reversed the machinery
and Republic finding no even track which to rum took
very zigzag direction and always in retrograde
men very much the risk and Inconvenience Of the pub
lie and otentimes attendant with considerable loss of life
and destruction of property which invariably resulted
benefcially to the treasury of the drivers,
The public became very dissatisfied with the course
which this engine had taken under the guidance of those
drivers and recommended many changes which very
seldom effected and those not without trouble In of
those changes very smart active driver had worked him
into employ by his own tact and energy he drove the
engine with so much and reckless pace and
even with much profit to himself to arouse the jea-
ousy and envy of his feow-drvers who made many vain

service aided by his natural quickness and talent
enabled him Illustrate them in every attempt at length
whilst driving the engine at furious speed, he blew off
great deal of steam the adjoining road of the company
of old Rpublicansm which rrated the drivers Of that
engine that they got up great head Of steam and
ming wildly at large, caused collision which completely
shattered Republic and attended with much loss
and expense to the company that they unanimously de-
dd to discharge their fast driver and fearing the in
auence Of his vivacy and wealth, ordered him not 10
return within the limits Of their territory The other
drivers congratulated themselves upon the prospect before
them They gathered together the fragments Of Republic
and replaced the engine with what available assistance
they could find but they had got it in running order
discussion broke out among them to the settlement of
the accounts of repairs They succeeded however in start

combination Of causes but principally from the

situations and give general statement of accounts upon
