TIE PLAN al ArUrLA.--lu tho accounts Of
the late Mexican revolution, this phrase is
often used to describe the basis Of the new
movement, and the test applied to ascertain
the fidelity of is leaders. This plan or ha-
sis for the construction Of new government
Is embraced IN mne articles, aud takes its
name from the city whore il was adopted by
the revolutionary leaders. IL important fea-
lures are:
Prescription Of Santa Anna and his nd
herents the organization of temporary
and Provisional Government bv delegates
elected, one from each State and Territory,
who shall elect a temporary President and
constituents Council until the establishment
o. a permanent Government the chiefs of
the revolutionary forces in each State shall
organize temporary local governments, on
the basis Of State Independence and national
unity-in imitation Of the United States
the President shall order the election of q
Congress, for the purpose If constituting a
representative constitutional Government
the recruiting and passport laws and capita
tion tax are 70 cease at once all who op-
pose this plan are To be treated az enemies of
the national independence.
The revolutionary party, since the flight
and abdication Vt Santa Anna, have been
quietly preparing the organization Of the new
Government upon these IDEAS

C6astinR Vessels.

The attention of the Legislature, it is to be hoped
will be directed to the establishment of an efficient
system of police for the purpose of examining all
coasting vessels that may leave the ports of yir
ginia and preventing the escape of fugitive slaves
We would again suggest the propriety of purcha
sing, equipping, arming and manning one or two
small vessels to board and search all vessels bound
to free ports in the United States. These cruisers
should be stationed in Hampton Roads, for any
examination made this side Of that point would be
perfectly useless. The cost of purchasing such
vessels, and their maintenance for five wears
would not amount to as large sum az is lost in
one negro stampede. .r s-
