SL. LOUIS 8OOuV0uL1Ou.
40! F0R MEXICO.
There seem to be no order of peace left
for Mexico, while under the government
Of its half-spanish population and revolu-
tionary leaders. Mexico is now in the
throes Of a Presidential election, and like
ourselves, has an aspirant for the third
term. She is now wrestling with a sort
Of third term problem Lerdo de
Tejada, the President, is the third term
candidate. He is in Office, and is therefore
the candidate Of the efice-holders, and he
evidently intends to remain in office, if he
can, by revolution, battle, conspiracy. mur-
der, or any other means. Por6rio Diaz,
is the candidate for the Presidency of the
Liberal. Reform, and Civil Service party.
He was one Of the leaders and heroes
against the French, indeed. was conspic-
ious as leader in that obstinate struggel
which ended in handing over Mexico to
disorganization peculiar to half-Spanish
Republic, and he thought his countrymen
should make him President, just as we
Americans made one of our great leaders
President, and for their failure to..do this
he regards his countrymen as ungrateful
but does not abandon them, and will not
unless his present attempt should prove
failure. Diaz has yielded to the voice of
hiscountry as long as he can bear it, and
now that Lerdo has determined to hold on
tenaciously, be is determined to beat err5or esrdo
or fight.
Diaz has lead yAasf known as the North
srn, against the Central party. His strong
>46ids have been along the Rio Grande
river and in the border States Of Mexico,
and his aspiration to the Presidency is
causing the turn out of the military bands
In these States, until it looks as if the can
vass is to be conducted on the principle Of
= general tnrn out Of firearms, and that it
will result In the election of Diaz. This
state Of affairs in Mexico is causing secret
organizations at different points in the
United States. There is an organization
in the city Of New York designed to afford
comfort to the revolutionists in Mexico,
or at least the revolutionists on the bor-
ders Of the Rio Grande. 1t is very likely
that the Me, Jan States along the river
will soon declare their independence of
the Central Government, in which case
there will be a splendid opportunity for
enterprising and ambitious Americans who
are looking for political and military pre-
ferment in the future, and should decla.
ration Of independence be declared by the
rebels, the history Of Texas will he re-
peated over again, and the organization
in New York has this contingency in view.
Mexico is now 30 far gone that it will be
out Of her power to carry on war to
prevent annexation to the United States.
Then among the prizes will be Cover
norship, Senators, Members of Congress,
&c. There is good reason to believe that
an active correspondence is going on be-
tween the New York parties and General
Diaz, and intelligence Of the capture Of
Natamora, will be likely to bring the mat
ter to head. The venture may be mad
one and have visionary look to many
but unless the appearance Of things are
very deceptive, the parties who are engi
nesring the work know what they arr
about. If fmad men, they have method ir
their madness. Many Of them are gentle
men Of means, and have both political and
military experience. 1t is pretty certain
that the feeling Of the people in the Mexi
can States along the borders Of the Rie
Grands il for their declaration Of indepen-
deucs Of the Central Government. Should
this declaration Of independence be made
by the people Of the border States Of Mexi
90, then as above stated, the history o
Texas will be repeated over again, will
