General Equiluz has been sent from Queretaro with a body of troops.

The nature of this revoit may be better understood from the following “pian, "iwiten was extensively promul- Bated:— POLITION, AOT, VERIVTED ON TH 15TH OF THE PRESENT MONTH BY THR PEOVLE OF TUK PEER AND SOVEREIGN BIATE OF GAX LUIS VOTOS; To the clty of San Luis Potos!, on the 15th of December, the undersijoed having met, ogiiher, and. cousidering thal the republican insiitucions in tue State have been perverted ina manner wy to the forms of law, the peopie have Hot sullicient liberty 10 make use of thelr rights, and, be. sides, there has been exercised upon them such pressure as to hinder them from electing tueir aathorities in a legal mauner.

Sccoud—The public power is conferred upon the citizen General Francisco Antonio Aguirre, authorizing wim to assemble the people at the end of two mouths, when new @lections will take place in the State, Pini d—The Congress which will ve elected will have a con- atituent character. ‘This prociawation was followed by two columns of names. In the proceedings of Congress of the 27th the Minister of War was questioned as to the condition Of affairs at Sam Luis Potosi, in reply to which he stated:—As soon as the revolution of that city (excited by the Nationat Guard) was known te the government the Executive took the necessary measures for the estavlishment of peace and order. Qn the 18th General Laraiaga was telegraphed that the government considered the arrest of the authori ties of that State as an attack upon the sovereignty of the nation, and he was ordered to take sucn means as he deemed necessary to put aown the Revolution, Another telegram was sent to the Generals Lara flaga and Juan Lopez. In this despatch General Rocha was ordered to concentrate his forces from Matamoros and epic to reinforce tiiose directed against. Safi Luis. Genera! Larafiaga replied on the 22a, stating that he would willingly re-establish the legitimate authorities, notwithstanding the revolu- tionists numbered three times his force, but that it Was impossible for him to preserve order throughout the country. The government replied to this despatch and gave orders to General iquiluz to assint General Larafiago in the re-establishment of order and to advise the revolutioniats to submit to the government and de- liver up their arms, and should they fail to do 80 @irected him to declare that portion of the State tn & state of siege i he should deem it necessary, advis- ing him to open communication with General Rocha. ‘The forces of General Laratiago were ordered to be conceiitrated, thougit he reported their number to be sindll. As the government thought the movement of that force might be slow, Equiuz was ordered to march on to San Luis. Laranaga was advised by tele- rapa of that order, The Minister of War had writ- en a private letter to General Aguirre, informing him tha the government was astonished that he should glace ninself at the bead of a mob, thereby ADjuring Lis reputation, betore unsuilied, aud ve- Minding lim of the vaiuavle services witch he had Tendered the country, aud explaining to hun that true liberty couid not exist where illegal armed bodies desiroyed the constituted authorities; rat he should continue in command of the Jorce to restrain the people from extreme measures, and that the government confided to lis known loyalty that he Guglt to obey the laws and re-estabiteh order. in his reply he stated that he had read nis letter, in Wich he Said Uiat lie (fe Miniscer) having beeu informed of the occurrences whtci took place in tis city, that he had seca with sui privé that ne (Aguirre) Was at the head of tic mob, ne begs to inform him him that be does not view Ling mutter inthe same light as the government does; tirat in accepting the position lis iirst considerations were to avoid Lie tvils of the movement and to examine wheiuer tue Objects of tlie revolution Were just and jegitimate, butthat he had become satisied that tne pie were right in what they had dove, and that trom this Moment ther cause Was his, and Nis jot cast with teirs, Asa patriot he would gay that in tue exercise of every power Which iS uot democratic he would neither admit nor consent to be ipstracted, that all sovereignty resided in the people, aud they baving, mauifested tiew will he stcuia respect 11; that hls repuiation would not suilor in conse: quence of what he had dofie, but, on the. con- trary, that be had cowplied with ali thé dutics of a citizen, yielding fuli respect to popular sover- eignty; that the Minister concluded by advislug him to abandon his movement, anu that he showd receive (lis a8 an order and not as an advice, If he aid not surrender himeeil wWiligiy to tue true soverelgaty. ‘To which he repiied that be sould 1enilfy himself with the people, and by this ace be could Not be guilty of treason; even Uhough tt wouid cost him his ite, he woutd not be guilty oi inf The Minister considered the above as suiluient @vidence that not only every enort withm te power of the government had been made with the use of Troops, but it algo Sought all pacific meaus co aceon: plish the object without shedding of bivod.

They would repudiate the horrible idea that God Would curse those who might persecute them, and instead would demonstrate the charity and sweet- ness of the Gospel and the gentleness of Jesus. They Would not be cailed upon, in cheir higher apprecia- tion of mankind, to hug sin to their hearts; but as Christ mingled with publicans and sinners they would mingle with men and throw the mantie of charity over human follies, There was no need for coliusion with sim, but there was need for considera- Hon for its vicums, Such was his tesamony. Mr. Godbe corroborated Harrison ana sald tt wouid be trifling with sacred things if he should say less than that they knew by the most direct divine revelation ever vouchsated to man that they bad been comnussioned to announce that God had no favorites, but that all men were His citldren and He had decreed that ail should see salvation. Tuey bad not been commissioned to say that such and such things may transpire, but that they will transpire. Men who now stood as barriers im the patuway of human progress must be removed out of the way; not Lhat they would be injured, but the time had come when all despotic sway wonr'! have an end. He and Harrison, he said, were «te: ined to carry on the work, in order that their ic.ow belugs mighé be biessed as they had been themselves, Mr. Kelsey bore testimony to the fact that he had recetved the most positive assurance in his own heart not only that the mission of Joseph Smith was divine but that both Godbe and Harrison were inspired. For tus falth he had already staked all that was dear to him on earth. As one of the objects of this mission was @higber appreciation of woman than tiey (the Mor- Mons) have now, Mr. Kelsey went on to suow by the evidence of ancient history (mostly a rambling reference to Moses) and™by the law of maternal transmission, that no race of people could be ele- vated where the position of woman was Qegradea. Woman was inspirational, and was superior in her sphere to man in his. Zion could never rise in glory and put on her beautiful garments so long as woman .Was held simply a§ a convenience. We must, he said, cuitivate proper feelings in our own hearts and live Op, not merely to the morality of the world ‘to live and Jet live,” but up to that higher morality proclaimed by Joseph Smith, ‘‘to live aud help live.” Joseph Silver, a man who, I was told, in the early days of Morman immigration, started with his family from Fort Laramie without any escort and hauled hig hand cart to Salt Lake City, then rose and gave histestimony, which was quite characteristic and sententions. ‘‘Some people may call me an apos- tave,” ne said; “but it makes no difference to Joseph Silver to-night; for I have reatized for weeks past tyat God 18 working by brothers Harrison aad Godbe.

Jn explanation of the remark of the Apostle James that tums was the frst true since lis sojoura on earth that he bad come and spoken directly with mortal man, Mr. Godbe said they aad been given to ‘understand that on a previous Ocvaston Jaines did come with Peter and Jolin to Joseph Smita, but Ubab ne did Rot speak to Josep (hen, ‘The uexs communication was also from the Apos- tle James. tr. Harrison satd that after they aad received their commisston and were retectivg on te diffenities they would bave te encounter m opposing such & powerful organization ag te pre- sent Mormon system, and fearing lest the oppost- ton they would meet mighi crush them, James directed thei uttention to une Ine of Jesus. ‘Tae spiritual Zion relerred to, he said, 13 that organiza- tion which bas exisced under the name of tae Cuurch of Zion for thousands of years in the celes tial world, and a branch of woich, or the principles of watch, it is now intended to inaugurate on earth.
