What Vidaurri progrosticated-a reaction. a
weakness WAS BETRAYED BY that act which the
conservatives knew too well how 10 avail Them
selves of. and they manifest determination nov
10 cease acting until they gain their ends. 20
uonfort is now suspected by those VINO were lis
warmest friends, and his Government Is dendeo
openly and in secret by his enemies who induced
him 70 believe, if he was true, that by that con-
ventiop he wsuld avoid the shedding OF blood
But they who thus entrspped him have now
drawn the sword themselves, perfectly regardless
ofblood or treasure and have began another strug-
gle at the expense Of the veal OF their country:
The present President has, from the beginning
of the administration OF Alvarez, pursued, sna
Induced as far as possible all connected with tnst
administration to pursue, his present temporizing,
uncertain policy, appearing always to think tnat
he could gain BY cunning and trickery against
those who practice such arts as trade; and nc
has GOT himself and his friends into an entsnge-
meni which will probably end in preventing the
establishment of anything like a liberal govern
ment. or cause prolongation OF the late srduous
struggle 10 obtain the same. Nidaurri stnl olames
him for his vacatng conduct ana Tor NOT sctiIg

with the exception Of the fall OF Santa Anna,
nothing has been obtained but that the revolution
will not terminate until the end proposed Is iuiy

principal reforms they lave had or pretend 10
have had in view are religious tolerance reiorma,

ulstion. But the misfortune is-supposng the
nresent Government to have acted in good faith
that they have misconceved the means OF carrying
out these reforms and have exposed feebleness
by endeavorng to conciate, by yielding to the
opposers of them. Perfect honesty ana blows sc

here. That course would have surrounded and
will still surround, any Government here Win
bulwark that would be impregnable.
The conduct of the Governor of Guanauato
noblado) has been perfectly consistent with his
character. First, he declared for the plan oil
Avutla. then he revoted against the Government,
founded upon it, in defense OF the privileged classes
under the pretext that religion was endangered,
and raised the standard in favor of Comoniort,
who had sn0rn before the whole nation 10 support
said plan and advocate the reforms proposed Dy
the revolution. Then DOblado, finding the power
already resigned into COmonforts hands revokes
his "prouunciamento," and declares him to BE- the
man he wants and the sustainer OF the privileges
of the clergy and army-the abolition OF which
were two of the main points OF the late struggle
and Of moderate liberty. 10000 -.
The Press urgently called for the punishment OF
Doblado but the Government is silent, and he con-
| tinues to act with IMMUNITY
The Government however, have taken meas
ures 70 silence the Presss clamors at least by
means of the new law just issued, restricting
what they call the abuse of the liberty OF the
same. which shows they are not far behind santa
Anna III some respects. This law mas oeeh ue'

the same thing occurs to those who Cypress the
liberty of the Press as to him who congresses

publication, to condemn it generally and to say IN
