The Mexican Annexation—What will be the Result? - Cuer Naprotzon—I shall devote my next three letters in throwing light upon Mexican affairs, as it now seemeth to me the fit and appropriate period of time when a demonstration can there be made, through proper agents, in our favor. This moment should not be lost—the prophetic eye of Mr. Polk will see, methinks, his pathway of truth in this mat- ter, with the same glorious feelings that Gallileo saw, for the first time, the read trod by the bright | orbs above us, while “out, watching the stare,” *neath the sapphire sky of his native Italy. Among the grievances of the people of Mexico, the pre- | sent system of taxation stands preeminent ; for eight | en ithas hung like an incubus, and fettered her N. | fi ke a strong man bound with a*chain. The vague | and obsolete idea of protection crept into the heads of the formers of the present tariff, tll it ameunts to nearly a perfect prohibition on the coarser cotton fabrics, to the total destruction of the revenue, as | far as the support of the government was concerned. | We may thank Providence, and the vox populi, that | this same system has not been inflicted upon us, by | the strenuous advocates of ‘home protection ”— From this source sprung the Santa Fe trade; the necessities of the general government compelled | the department of New Mexico to let the goode, without examination, pass into that province at a | nominal duty per wagon. Such is a notorious fact that speaks volumes concerning the custom house corruptions throughout the Republic. During the | first term of Santa Anna’s presidency, the revenue was so completely reduced that he was obliged to resort to direct taxation for the support of the gov- ernment. This state of things was received at first with sullennees by the people, yet borne with the pa- tience that a native Indran bears bie pee of a haughty Spaniard; yet it increased yearly, to a1 an eeeae that the ad-holdere began to be alarmed in the whole Republic, and property owners, of eve- ry description, grew desperate with anxiety. The dy, the clergy felt the most severely, as it is generally estimated that they hold about two- thirds of all the real estate in the country, beside their immense treasures of jewels, plate and bonds and mortgages in the cities. At this crisis, General Paredes, the Commandant and Governor of the De- partment of Guadalajara—a man in whom the amor patric had not been quite extinguished by his submiseten to Santa Anna—pronounced “for re- torm ;” first in the burdens imposed upon the people by taxes. And here [ will particularize real estate— capitation, servants, horses, carriages, merchants, doctors, lawyers, tinkers, tailors, and a host of others unmentioned. Besides, the stamp tax was incteas- ed seventy-five per cent, during Santa Anna’s inglo- rious administration. Secondly, during the disas- trious war that the Dictator maintained against Yucatan, he had a large body of troops that he wish- ed to embark from Vera Cruz for that Department ; OLLS SRS. DTCKENSON, | being destitute of means, he made an arrangement with a large English banking house in the city of Mexico, ips on the receipt ot one hundred and ten thousand dollars, he agreed to transfer to a com- pany ot Englishmen the government mintand mine forty to fitty thousand dollars per annum. This villanous transacticn created great disturbance in | the Department of Zacatecas. A protest was sent, first from the town corporation, followed by a vio- lent one from the Junta Departamental ; yet all this stir and excitement against so unfair a tranaac- tion, only brought back an angry reply {rom the | Dictator, and an order for the immediate delivery of Doors open from 10 to 12 inthe morming and from 1to 4 | the mint into the hands of the agent of the company, which was only done after the imprisonment ef the city corporation, by the hireling soldiers of Santa Anna, in a monastery,in which they remained about | a fortnight, a transfer being made in the meantime. | Taus did these patriotic men receive @ tyrant’s Hoek, | guerdon, for vindicating their honest rights, in the cause of common justice. “Having this cause of dis- satisfaction, as well as the abominable system of taxation betore him, and the Catholie priesthood | dent and the Parricde,” (Die Raenber) great ‘Tragedy. by Fr. | unanimously in hisfavor—who furnished him means tor all his operations—General Paredes made a suc- cesstul ‘ pronunciamento” against the government, that was followed by the other Departments, and the 50 | Jast hope of the Dictator was overthrown by the san- © guinary and ever glorious defence of Puebla. Yet, | unfortunately the government fell into the hands | of General Herrera, a man ill suited for such | a crisis, not havi the moral courage to recom- mend a radical change in the vile abuses that had crept into public affairs during the Dic- tators palmy days—who has indeed been, both the ‘ glory and shame,” of the ill-fated land of the Astecs. Reform was the cry that hurled Santa | Anna trom power,—uttered with glorious hopes from the lips of the priests and the people, and after his downfall, they earnestly thought something would be done that would relieve the people from their terrible burdens, and the priesthood trom the dark fate, that their brethren received in a Raa Yet, what are the facts ?
