1 in America Santa Anna runs as loose horse to real
| lie his ambitious dreams and sees not that, in his
race, he must fall into . tomb where his treachery
will bury him, never more to come out. For he has
turned to his own personal advantage all the ele-
! rnents heaped by the Queenmother Of Spain. by the
monarchists and the clergy-au OF them deceived
by him as President Polk was.
To make his plans less suspected, Santa Anna has
offered to abdicate the crown in favor Of Dona Louisa
Fernando appointing her his successor to the throne
OF Mexico, AZ he is authorized to do il by the ma
tional vote. calling the vote given by his order,
by the employees either in the army in the navy, in
the treasury and in the other departments who were
the only persons who did it, from the fear Of losing
| their situations.
Santa Anna has raised an army not to attend TO the
safety Of the frontiers nor to prosecute the Indians,
TO protect the citizens, nor to enforce the laws
but to support his tyranny and to shoot Mexicans;
and in this army he has made officers of many ruff
fans from gaming houses. many youths just come
! out from schools, and many other young men
without instruction and without merit. The troops
are formed by fetching the people by force. How
ever these men apt, and fit to threaten defence
less citizens, though in the day OF battle they be
useless.
such is the present condition of the Mexicans,
and the situation of this nation called republic, and
there Is no man residing here, whether Mexican or
foreigner who say that this picture is not true.
This state of things is the work Of Santa Anna
alone for If we have no respect abroad 1t is because
he has taken il away from u.s. We have no credit,
for be has made us lose it, we have no liberal nsti-
tutons for he has destroyed them: we have no
commerce, for he has ruined it, we have no liberty,
for he has put it in chains: have laws, for he
respects them not: we have no right Of knowing
what the world thinks of us, for he has prohibited
i the FOREIGN TO he introduced here:
have national territory, for he takes the power Of
selling our fathers inheritance, brothers home,
and our ancestors graves: for he may yet sell even
the spot under our own feet, as Judas sold Jesus
Christ FOR thirty pieces Of silver coin. What else
can We expect from Santa Anna! If to have been
deceived by him 30 many times is not sufficient for
ms, then very well deserve the fate now endure
! Mexican fellow citizens, turn your eyes to what
passes around You, then look towards the east and
see what the kings do: triple alliance against
the liberty Of Cuba; triple alliance against "a the
I Europe in favor of it. What does this meany !
4 will tell it to you. The alliance against Cuba's
liberty means the interest of tyrants to oppose the
principles ruling in the United States in order to
put stop to the power and the strength increasing
in America The alliance against Russia means the
self-interest Of the same monarchs to oppose the
power and strength Of Russia, fearing that its in
crease might endangcr their dominion
But Cuba must be American, as it cannot be Eu-
ropean. 1t must he free as tyranny cannot exist in
any part Of the American continent. So the Turkish
territory must be protected by France and England,
for England and France are interested in the result.
The new world called America is the emanci-
pated family Of an old powerful man known by the
name Of Europe, who has had several children, of
4 which North America is the first born Mexico the
second, Costa Firma, Rio de la Plata, Chile, Peru,
the next and the youngest OF all named Antilles,
yet under the raternal dominion. After many years
Of the emancipation Of the whole family (Antillas
excepted), the first born, North America, is as
strong and intelligent as his father, having the
charge and the Of the famly's political inter
ests rights and privileges. When for long time
he has cherished the beautiful youth whose afIec-
ton Father Europe disdained, old Spain, whimsical
as all aged people are, requested the assistance OF
two old folks, his friends in principle to prevent his
son Antilles from being also free and emancipatcd,
az the rest of the family America, and at the same
time requiring their assistance to recover his lost
authority and dominion over his second son,
Mexico.

These facts prove that there. in the Old World,
tyrants make alliances and efforts to support each
others tyranny, and that here, in the New World,
fSanta Anna excepted,) Presidents, and leaders Of
nee people, join themselves TO procure the liberty
OF all nhabiting the earth. and TO secure the prin
ciples of freedom, defending each other, and helping
the afflicted.
And though in the blessed land Of liberty tyrants
spread the seeds of monarchy, wherever Europe can
throw il North America will pick il up to have it
burnt on the altar OF liberty.
Should the practice Of this duty be wrongly
Judged by any OF the brother republics, the United
States OF North America, ever faithful TO its duty,

And if. 10 preserve in the American Continent fLe
principles. rights and privileges OF liberty and indie

states to confront that triple alliance, do really
believe that ts government and its people would not
