Be this as it may, considerable importance must attach to the views now entertained by Pacheco, as ho is the organ of Anna’s Govern- ment with foreign nations. addressed to the Governors of the os, ® circular ex- pressive of his views of public affairs. The document does not appear to us to be written in the best taste, being oxtremely egotistical, nor to evince great ability ; and we should not trabslate it but tor the fact that it may safely be deemed the latest and best exponent of Santa Anna's views which we have. It abounds with fulsome panegyric of the Iresident, but we must pre- sume, in the absence of positive evidence to the con- trary, that it speaks the sentiments of Santa Anna and his administration. CIRCULAR TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE STATES. Mexico, July 7, 1847. Six,—The nomination which his Excellency the Presi- dent has been pleased to make of the undersigned to the portfolio of the first secreteryship—in which post he tenders to your excellency his services both to aid Spomcuae the happiness of this State and to your- individually—is a confirmation in every respect of the programme which has been proclaimed by every act of his Administration. Drawn from the bosom of Congress, where he has constantly advocated and voted for the maintenance of the war until a glorious peace should be obtained; an influential gctor in the glorious movement of August, which had for its object to restore to the nation its institutions, and to wash out the stain inflicted upon it by a general who abandoned the cause of our na! lity; an original supporter of the federa- tive system and well known as the author of vario writings published by him as a private citizen; ever 1 exponent of ideas of liberty and order—the President has thought favorably of his capacity to express his or- ders based on these views. One of the weapons which is always employed in ware of invasion—especially when wi as is this upon Mexico, without a noble aim nor from a just motive—is to sow dissensions among the people which is invade for there inno people, however weak it may be, t not strong and invincible when united. Unfortunately our people is not united, and in good earnest this infer- nal policy has here found opportunity to show its effica- cy. It had almost succeeded, and it would have com- pletely succeeded, had it not been resisted by a few—so far as to deliver over, bound hand and foot, the chief of the nation into the power of its enemies, cused of connivance with them, to be sacrified by the for having waged war in the name snd for the service of the nation. Is this country destined to present to the world these examples of conduct towards its chiefs’ Iturbide, Guerrero, now Sauta Anna? Must this nation shelter within its hosom men who are forever to bring upon it the imputation of artifice, perfidy and ingrati- tude? It cannot be that this nation should be more or less devoted to her dignity than apy other; and if an immense majority of her people are patriots, who would refer death to the dishonor of the country of their irth, there are not wanting, asin evory other nation, individuals who, either cowards or traitorr, favor direot- ly or idireotly the enemy. With sy Bren of this stamp have not stopped haf way. Wit w to gain & shameful individual securi- ty, they have aimed to disarm Santa Anna by imput- ing to him designs the most improbable, ‘Tne more absurd these pretences the more popular are they -- The antecedents of his whole life, the glory of his name, indissolubly associated with the history of this war, andthe position he has occupied in the battles he has fought in person—ail these are here, with which a reasonable man should be satisfied. ‘Then consider the guerilias of the State of Vera Cruz; many of these were early orgenized by this kame Santa Anna, were formed from the servants upon his haciendas, und paid froma his own purse. and one of these is tho leader who has most molested the enemy. But party rancor, fear and egotism do not reason; they continue to impute to the President an understanding with the enemy, and plans and prepar- ations for making peace; wh let the Pressdent, listening only to the dictates of his heart. and the wishes of the Legislatures and Governors of the States, will be the first to encounter the enemy at the head of those who will hare the honor, as he has before encountered him at La ‘Angostura and Cerro Gordo, and he will so encounter him everywhere. If this nation is destined again to lose her independence by the dissensions of her sons, the des- tiny of Gen, Santa Anna is also fixed. Like another Guatimosin he will be the last Mexican who may fight for his country, and should his evil star so far prevail that he survive the’ combat, like that hero he will be able to exclaim, “Kill me, if you would enjoy in poace your conquest, A man like me can only be iollowed by Mexicans when he raises to their view the standard of honor, and he may difturb your dreams.” His Excollency, the Provisional President. {9 aleo de- system and the will ofthe na.ion, expecting that their Excellen- oles, the Governors of the States, by the aA gealous 00, operation with him will prove in this or! © greatest which can ever befel ation—that the Federal system in that best calculated for the great end proposed by all systems—that it may stand up with the elements of ite strength around it, and be united as one man, in the defence of ite independence and dignity The secondary measures of the Admiuistration to con- summate these purposes will be dictated by tho law, and - in a spirit eminently democratic. will be respected so fur as the forms of law do not disarm Government in the presence of the enemy; and in making use of the powers with which the national repre- sentation has invested it.the Executive will confine it- self strictly aud religiously to the terms in which the powers were contirmed.
