The Mexican Question-Pronuncia q mi miento
of General Santa Anna.
General Santa Annals pron,p,ciansiento to his
countrymen, which we publish to-day, brings
him again prominently into the foreground
among the leading actors in the Mexican drama.
His objects are to define his position, what it
has been and what it is; to vindicate his public
course in aud ont of Mexico as that of a faith
fnl Mexican; to make it known that he has
emerged from his place Of exile in order to
serve the cause Of the republic, which he first
proclaimed over forty years ago, and to do
what he can to heal all dissensions and unite all
parties among the Mexican people in the expul-
sion of Maximllian and his whole foreign es
Enlistment from Mexican soil and in the re-
establishment OF the republic Gin the halls OF
the Montezumas.'
The vindication advanced by General Santa
Anna of his conduct in reference to the tripar-
tite Intervention of England, France and Spain
ought to be satisfactory even to his Mexican
enemies. In the matter Of the French inter-
vention he has, in the simple fact of his expul-
sion from Mexico by Marshal Bazainc, good
answer against all who accuse him Of infdelity
to the republic. What other ambition than the
good of his country conld have influenced him
in coming at this time out of ST. Thomas, when
all the political and military honors and dis
tinctions which q generous country could give
have over and over again been conferred upon
him? But there ia little Mexican clique at
Washington (thc Romero-Juarez clique) and
a Mexican clique in this city that have been
raising considerable outcry against General
Santa Anna as tyrani, usurper and most
treacherous Mexican. These men have good
deal of presumption; for as the founder of the
Mexican republic General Santa Anna holds,
If not to the same extent sill, the relation 70
Mexico Of Washington to the United States or
Of Bolivar TO Colombia. As soldier and states
man, and even as politician, If you please,
Santa Anna by all odds has been the ablest
man that Mexico has ever produced Of whom
we know anything. Nor do we know Of an
other living Mexican whose name and presence
now would be half so powerful as his in uniting
the Mexican people and in giving system and
efficiency to their war against the austrian
