MEXICAN UPRISING.

Elsewhere we publish an interesting
account Of the Mexican uprising in
Texas. which will still further compli.
cate affairs on the border. 1t does
not appear from our report that the
Mexicans on the other side of the
river have taken any active part in
the riotous proceedings; but that they
know of it, and have Indirectly con-
tributed to it, those who are at all &C
quainted with the Mexican character
have no doubt. Day by day the an
tagonism between the Mexicans and
American population has grown
stronger and more defiant, and an open
revolt at no time would have created
surprise. 1t has come at a moment
when q match can kindle a confla-
grafton. That the rioters will be largely
reinforced from chihuahua and Tenn
aulepas is beyond question, and the
probabilities are good that the war
cloud which has been 20 long lowering
and threatening on the Rio Grande
has at last burst in fury and desola-
ton along the border. But nobody
will regret it. The conflict had to
come some time, and as well now as in
the future
