ing very freely, and private meetings at the
houses Of citizens Of the Liberal party were
matters of frequent occurrence
On the 18th the Heralao and Sig1o XIX

Agutha, which was proclaimed BY q part of the

provision made for the organization of the Ma

to the Palace Square, intending to destroy the

fired, and one man was killed.
The populaee then went to the office OF the

who the man is that at this junction of affairs
is to "save the country" The city of Mexico
neverhad but one good Goyernor-Gen. John
A Quitman-and we would suggest that the
Mexican people would do wise thing in en-
deavoring to secure his services at this critical
