magnitude Of the game that is being played; and it,
as not one here believes the clergy and the military
were TO triumph completely in the interior of the
country, the republic would cease TO exist in its
present territorial divisions | could state many
things To convince you Of this; but as we have un-
bounded faith in the Of the people. the main
object is TO accomplish some positive good by de-
stroylng the influence of the military and the
CLERGY in the country. We have not the least idea
that the forces in the peighborhood Of San Luis
will ever be defeated and everything that is being
done Is for the purpose Of capturing the city OF
Mexico and holding it until all expense incurred by
this StGie are paid The intention is to oc-
cupy that modern Babylon, to humble aud
chastse H. to remove the capital from that cave OF
thieves and courteZaus and secure the country
against all future revolutions. To secure this it
matters not how many heads may have to be cut off,
the object is 10 destroy the of so much crime
and scandal in the country. Actuated by these
patriotic motives General Vidaurri will endeavor to
present himself in Mexico with such force as will
silence all opposition and make them feel that they
cannot any longer kick up muss with impunity
The final result OF the present struggle will astonish
many who have conjectured SO many things
respecting Mexico and her politicians. Time
will demonstrate that Governor Nidaurri will
prove 70 the world how much good can be effected
by one single man when he IL sincerely actuated Dy
honesty of purpose and truly patriotic motives
The paragraphs now and then published In some
OF the United States journals respecting ComonioTs
Santa Anna and other utilities are really laughaoie;
and without wasting time, in order to demonstrate
their political insignifcance in this country, can
assert without the least fear Of being mistaken that
no earthly power will ever restore them to political
life in Mexico and that they have both disappeared
forever "unwept unhonored and unsang. Peace
to their ashes Comonfort has proved the danger of
placing political imbecility i'll power, and Santa
Anna is crippled demonstration of the immense
harm that be effected in society, morally and
POLITICALLY when robber and a tyrant is placed at
the head of nations affairs.
Military operations here continue as if the cam
paign was about to commence and if we had arms
/ unfh a In fan
thousand men within the next fifteen days. The
five thousand men and twenty-five pieces Of artillery,
now in the neighborhood of San Luis, are for the
present considered sufficient to keep all the Span
iards, the clergy and the military in the country
busy enough, and the triumph of the constitutional
cause we consider as a mere question of time.
AS yet no day has been designated for attacking
San Luis, as no attempt win be made without the
certainty Of capturing it. The capture of that i'm.
portant place will in all probability virtually decide
the struggle The enemy will certainly try to hold it
if possible; but If the place is attacked by the
army of the north, its capture will certainly be the
result
