MEXICO AND LOUISIANA.

, mankind in different ages and in different
countries, produce similar effects, has
, been established by the unvarying records
. of history. The government of Mexico
has just passed through crisis in which
the industrial production of the country
has been arrested and the very republic
cast in jeopardy. With the first revolu-
tionary pronumciamento came the organiza-
ton of an army which marched to soap
! ture" the seat of government Then fol-
lowed the hasty fight of foreign visitors,
the withdrawal of capital and the opera
ton of enterprise. Then followed mill
tary campaign, and the government of
Mexico properly proclaimed the armed
opposition in rebellion" against the gov
eminent and laws. Fortunately for the
cause Of lawful liberty, the government
succeeded in defeating its armed op-
ponents, and Mexico is again on the path
of peace and progress.
| We copy from the Too Republics, paper
published by an American and an Exon
federate. some comments upon the late
campaign in Mexico:
1t has always been noticeable that as the
prospects OF peace in the republic brighten,
those who suffer bysanarchy and prosper
under law and order become elevated in
their hopes, commerce awakens, the other
industries increase, and these hopes iusti
fed by evidences of permanency, there
begins an expansion of all the industrial
enterprises.
Such has been the experience Of the
United States. It continues:
On the other hana, when anarchy reigus,
these interests are Frustrated and the
country sinks into dispondency, discomfort
and complaints.
Notwithstanding, however, these palpa- |
BILE and historical truths, it is added:
That a large portion of the industrial |
| classes through the influence of the press,
| utter their complaints against the govern |
| ment instead of frOwniDg upon the anar-
chists who are the cause of their illsuccess
| and dependency.
Having enounced these palpable
truths, the journal proceeds to assert the
corollary facts. Under the republican
administration of Jusrez, which the Re-
publican government Of the United States
sustained against his foreign and imperial
adversary, Maximilian-
The country was recovering from the dis
indignation caused by previous anarchies.
Roads were being opened, telegraphs con-
structed, public schools established, regular
courts organized, and justice was dispensed
from the tribunal. Confidence was being
restored, the roads becoming safe, agricul-
I'M and mil /
commerce increasing, everything bright
eniDg.
The narrative continues
This happy condition and flattering pros
pect of the future did not suit the objects
and aims of the disappointed Office seek
ers-Presidents and generals in embryo.
There we're men like others who had pre-.
coded them in former yeare, who were not
content with peace and the prosperity which ! ,
it was bringing to the country-disappoint-
ed politicians whose personal ambition ex- {
ceeded the esteem and confidence of the
people; they still aspired to be President,
ministers and generals and q smaller fry,
but more numerous, who failed to be ap- S
pointed to Office and allowed to manipulate
the peoples money. Peace was death to
their personal prospects if they could not I
rule the country.
In the midst Of this peace, growing pros
l
politicians commenced their inflammatOry t
appeals through the press, prOnunciamientos a
flew around in various portions of the re- |
pubic. President Juarez, the BenemeritO | Q
Of Mexico, was then denounced. as Pres,. {
cent Lardo now If, despot. dictator, =
usurper, and the people were appealed to to :
take up arms and crush the constitu- t
tional government, the same that is now =
being done. and ell this by the same men.
l The crusade against the patriot Juarez and | o
the constitutional government was led by r
Diaz, Trevino, Negrete. Mer Teran, !,
Geurra and Garcia de Ia Cadena, and these l.
are the men who have produced all the an. ! a
arcby that reigns in the present day. These i
are the leaders Of Regeneration" men ,cAo II
reroh at all government unless they can con. Fl
troll ii, and achO, as IN former years, are de- n
e,'n.tned TO orerthrOw erery government es-
athshed by the people. o
During the term OF Presi lent Lsrdo, the n
country was returning to tie condition of
aw and order, peaceful industry and hope =
III future that had been SO unfortunately Il
rushed out by the revOlutionists in Presi- =
lent Juarez' term.
AS consequence We are told
And now we find the country in the same 81
Unhappy condition that it was found to be NJ
n 1871 and 1872 ~
The reader can not fail to find in Louis ~
ana condition of affairs exactly analo- '"
,ous to that Of Mexico. We have the same :"
eparation and non-intercourse of parties, al
be same military organization, under &C
hitch the street lamp could be exchanged Ia
u the musket, with the same professional LID
evolutionists who never appear before al
re people save when there is an oppor- AZ
unity of changing the government or of =
verthrowing it. There is another resem- 70
lsnce in the situation so palpable that -
9 can not but quote it. 1t is the meek o.
lbservience Of business interests to bold 'o'
I'd intolerant party leaders, with the ", "'
range assertion that any financial or in in
lstrial embarrassment in the State is i's
le to republican misgovernment. Here oo
how it is in Mexico: Ut

The person who suffered by the anarchy -
1871 and 1S72-the merchants and bust 4u

uation, played into the hands Of the in 49,
guing politicians, and denounced the gov
nment OF Juarez. The same events have tat
ne around in the small circle of four
ars. The same anarchists are at their gre

and business men are again playinq
10 the hands Of the political intriguers by ha'
apparently ignoring the Omtrages upon tie no
zee and prosperity of the country and I'M bo,
