President Juarez, or Mexico, an In
dian.
Juarez, the President OF the Liberal party,
is pure Indian. A correspondent Of the
New Orleans Picayune gives this sketch Of
his history:
He was born, fifty. three years sgo, in .
mountainous district of Southern Mexico,
and ia BY blood pure Indian. His father
raised few sheep and cattle, and gained
scanty subsistence by the sale Of their skins.
At twelve years of age the young Juares ran
off to attend fair, and being afraid or
ashamed to return, be hired himself to mule
driver, from whose service he passed into the
service Of . wealthy Spaniard, who, pleased
at his intelligence, caused him to be taught to
read and write. Still retaining the favor of
his employer, he was sent to the College Of
Oaxaca, and having chosen the profession OF
the law, which the revolution had opened to
men of his caste, he rose rapidly to the head
OF his profession, and, with the triumph OF
Alvarez, was made Chief Justice-from which
post he passed to that OF the Presidency
Thus, beside the great disadvantage Of being
a civilian, he is exposed also to that OF being
pure Indian; and among the mass Of the
Spanish creoles in Mexico that circumstance
alone is thought to disqualify him for the
place, however great his talents or good his
intentions.
