the NEW YORK HERALD AND MEXICO.
from the (Mexlco) DiarIo OflciaI, April

From the (NexlcO Diario Official, April 3.
The DidD1O de Ia Marina, OF Havana. l. not the
only paper which describes the condition Of Mexico
with the darkest coors. The NEW YORK HERALD
also now and then devotes to us Injurious articles
which spread all over the world the most aiai.minu
news on the social and political condition OF our
country. AS proof OF this we herein publish
Of its editorials in which, after having treated In
the gr0sscst manner, proposes the absorption of
country, and declares us incapable OF self-govern-
inent. Although we feel q great reluctance 10 give
our attention 10 such matters yet we believe IL to he
convenient TO know whatever Of good or bad Is
published about Mexico, In order that our authori-
ties and the whole people may learn the opinion
entertained about our country IN every part OF the
world, to rectfy IT, II false and to correct our
errors when there Is any truth in the assertions
There are undoubtedly some troubles in Mexico
arising from the late civil wars In which the country
has been involved for so many years. Yet the ex-
aggerated rum0rs spread at home and abroad about
these troubles are afterwards cOntradcted showing
in the end that such occurrences had been misrepre-
scnted. But the distance OF the theatre OF these
cufrences the bad faith Of writers and other causes
give these things certain color and proportions they
are devoid OF.
Everyone can see now the severity OF tho laws
enacted by every State against robbers and
nJia1fos also that In many OF the towns the people
arm themselves with great alacrIty I'm order to lend
their disnterestcd support TO the authorities ia their
deliberate purpose to restore order and preserve
peace everywhere. This is an undenilble proof OF
the noble ideas which engage the attention Of the
authorities and the people.
In regard TO the heroic efforts we have made In
order 10 free our country from the foreign yoke,
have little or nothing to say. The whole world has
done us Justice la this matter; and we TO look
into the c0ectOn OF that very paper thc HERALD II
would cost US but little trouble to find I'm IT. columns
some Of the praises bestowed upon various acts OF
our patriotism, az wel a. on the proofs OF love
for liberty. The new era inaugurated by the nation
js comparatively, the most peaceful have ever
enjOyed; and everything tends TO show that but
n short time viii eapsc before the desire for peace.
felt by all good Mexicans, will be wholly realized.
TO attain this end the liberal party labors with
tring activity, unmngled with any spurious spirit
OF party. Yet II s not possible and VIC have felt this
in,posslbillty within the few months which have
elapsed since our nationality was restoret) TO do
more than We have done. For many and great were
the obstacles the revolution had to remove from it's
path; aud a. there are still some remains OF the past
which cannot De made TO disappear at the bidding,
time must be given to eradicate them for ever aud
that win soon be done, TO give place TO the establish
ment Of social and individual security In uniformity
with the wishes Of the government and people.
