Thoagh a murder may hav eecuryed, the Jaw is not to be administered with vintictive- eee ; no ore is to be sacrificed through passion or preju- ice, por is justice to fail by reason thereof.

The whole population of the northern settlements were cm the road, afew guards alone left in the villages.

The straits of the government, under the necessity of advarciog or breaking dowa, incresse daity. The administration lives from hand to mouth; the Presi- dent draws bis salary—ove hundred dollars—daily from the Tressury, andthe Cabinet ministers do the same for their quota.

ORIGIN OF THE HATRED AGAINST 11M. The origin and commencement of the eamity and ant mosity of whicb I bave been made a victim is to be traced avd dated from the time when first the Mexian pation bonored and distinguished me by their eoufl sence ard by the honors abowered down upon me for my pab- Hie services; for from my earliest youth | have most fannie ly served my country, begivning fron the day when I pecribed my name among the prieciva! rounders 0! Mexican independence, in the ever memorable year of 1421. From this period are to be dated the yorsevering efforts of Dy ehemiee® and oppor enta to misrcoresen: and disfgureall these actions of mine which do me most honor. In their opmity against me they have ro‘ased even to ecknowledge the self deniat and patriotism which | dis played in the cays of tho deepest trial and rutluriog of my country. They bave carried their animogity aga net mo to such a pitea as to be guilty of almost incredible folly end puerility in their conduct. They have erased my pame from s¢veral buildings where it had been iaseribed; they have removed the statues of mo trom the pub ic places in which they bad been set 19 by tbe will of the peo. pie or by my friends; they have burnt all the portraits and pictures of me which they could lay their baads on; and what is the most remarkable of ai), in these incredible puo rilitiee ot which they bave beep guil y, they have evea left off the annual celebration of the 11th of September, thoagh it was ordered to be kept by law, because, tersooth , thay Wanted to prevent my pame from being mentioned. On other occasions their hatred has been evidenced in the overflow in, of the most savage cruelty. They have pr ed the sacred pisco where a momber of my Body was deposited, which member I lost while fighting courageously in de’ence of my coun- try, im order that they might dewwoy i. They bave even gone so far as w persecuce my friends and thore wh ere under apy obiigations ty me, violat- ing thelr places of retirement, and burning up all thele property whieh they could lay their hands on, when thay. could not find the persons themsel¢or to destroy them They have ontraged apd insulted me, by fixing upon mo the oitralor for my conduct at atime whe I drew ther armies—when I was oxpending my own mor ey for the benefit of my country, in order w support and equip solders. Yes, even at the timo when | was struggling Sgainst the invaiers of my couvtry; when the horee on which] was mounted lay stretched dead on the field of battie; whea my clothes were pierced through and through with bulie's; when my bouses aod property were set on fire and destroyed— then, even atsacn a time, they branded me with che vame of traitor, because I f-miy 2nd resolutely refused to acquiesce in the celebration of a testy of pesce which I deemed to |e both émshonorable ADO prejudicial to the country. ibey have strigped me of my property without having apy respect for the sacred rights which beiopg to me as a man and as acitiven, aad ‘Without having any regard for the claims of my children ‘0 whom my or ee dl rightfnily belongs) bey want even to deprive me of the privilege of breathing ‘be air of my country, which it would be offensive and diapleasing to them that I should ever inhale, But even now. after so many insaite and injuries committed against me, they are not yet satisfied. fhey coutioue to pursue the aaery sewertty And infamous course of mitre ing my condect, and preciati great deeds T have done, iv ordor if poeaibie to heap dis grace and dishonor upon me.
