A Synopsis of Mexlean History,From the parild of t5he Spnit tOoqeden t)h. pre.r.t dact.

SpeolaJ to the New Orleans Creesnt.J

VERA Cnuz, May 28, 1800.AMr. Editor-I have on several occasions, since

residing in this city, written hurriedly to yourpaper to inform your readers of the current eventshappening in this torn and distracted country. Ihave heretofore had no opportunity of leisurefrom more pressing occupations to do either you,your readers or myself, justice as correspondentfor the Crescent in portraying Mexico as it hasbeen, is now, and in what it may become. Inthese respects, this country affords most fruitfulthemes for interesting contemplation, and I pro-pose in this essay to make amends for my pastdelinquencies.

I propose to review or sketch Mexico, as in-dicated per caption, by presenting the prominentfeatures in its history, from the period of theSpanish. conquest to the present time, and willaim to show the causes of its present condition.In order to do so I must claim quite a latitude inthe columns of the Crescent in view of the in-teresting familiarity I shall seek to establish be-tween your readers and the substance here sub-mitted. While there my appear nseless digres-slons as I proceed, as the matter to be tested ismapped in my mind, if I can so reduce it here, Ithink the generalhharmony of my themes will bepreserved.

When Hernando Cortez, the renowned Spanishadventurer, quitted Spain for Mexico, he had littlesave the chart of Columbus and the compass togouide his course, and there was perhaps scarcemore in his contemplations than in our day im-pelled Sir John Franklin to seek green fields be-yond polar seas. Columbus had been actuatedand was persistent in his quest of search for Amer-ica from the lack of that harmony which the threeother grand subdivisions of the earth failed in per-fecting and rendering the world complete. Withhim, the speculations of theorists relating to oceancurrents-ebbs and flows of tides and sea drifts-were unsatisfactory. The mariner's compasshaunted him with its speechless intelligence, untilhe prevailed in attaining the royal favor and sanc-tion towards the grandest enterprise known in thehistory of man, and which lead to the discovery ofAmerica. Of what avail was the sextant andquadrant io determining to the becalmed or tem-pest-tossed mariner whither he was driven, saveonward and westward through unknown seas.Amid the dark and dismal heavings of the oseanand howling storms was mingled the fierce rage ofmutiny from his worn and disappointed followers,and with perhaps any other man than Columbusthe enterprise would have been forced to abandon-ment. It was reserved to him, and him alone, ashis great share and destiny in life, to explore un-known seas-calm down mutiny, and discover theNew World. We will not dwell in reveries over theexcitement produced in the mind of the great voy-ager at the moment America rose up from the seato perfect the grandeur of his thought, the great.ness of his purpose, the fulfillment of his hopes.

What a contemplation is here to awaken reflec-tion! The alternating of hope and fear, as to ob-taining the favor and sanction by which to em-bark on his voyage; the hidden and unknownobstacles that lay upon his trackless and chartlesspath ; the uselessness of all calculations of latitudeand longitude, save in determining day by day thereceding of his country; the uncertainty of thetrue foundation of his search; the horrors of im-pending mutiny; the fainting and drooping des-pondency to be overcome, as hope deferred sick-ened his heart; the quickened thrill, the rebound-ing, long-clogged life-currents enkindled, tempt meto abandon the aim of investing lesser contempla-tions with interest. Returning to Spain with proofsof his discovery, it was but natural that a spirit ofadventure, such as would animate the mind of Cor-tez, would be aroused to explore the hidden mys-teries that lay concealed beyond the shores of thenewly discovered world. He was to be the nextgrand actor in the events which were to mark thatage as the most remarkable in the world's history.He was a man of genius and talent, indomitablewill and courage, and fitted by nature in all theelements of intellectual power to adorn any sta-tion in any age or country. But he was capableof any act in the adornment of a great and noto-rious life of crime. He was a traitor to his friend,a hypocrite in religion, a pirate, robber, assassin,and usurper. He was just the character to father.the expedition which lead to the conquest of Mexi-co, and to leave such a spectacle and condition asMexico now presents to the civilized world.

On the 21st day of April, 1521, he arrived at thepoint on which the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa issituated, about one mile from where I am writingthis letter. On leaving Spain, he did not forgetthe immense influence " The Cross" exerted, andwould continue to exert, in the minds of hisfollow-era, and his frst act on landing was to plant thatCross, with all the imposing ceremony that shouldimpress them, and reflect his name and deedsthroughout all time.

From that day Mexico was dedicatedatnd or-dained a Catholic province of Spain. The countryhere presented the most forbidding aspect. Sandhills and reefs, without so much as asingle spear ofgrass to inspire him with contemplations of thegrandeur and wealth, and rich harvest, hithertoshut out from the world, and that lay upon his pathof conquest. The golden splendor that blazedaround the throne of the Indian monarch Monte-zuma, the immense masses of gold and silver andprecious gems that had for centuries accumulatedat the capital, the grand center then, as now, ofthis country, was unknown, and had not arousedthe fierce fires of avarice in the Spanish heart, norsunk tihe novelty and excitement of adventure tothe unholy purposes of plunder and deeds of blood,that resulted in the Spanish conquest. Here wasa hitherto unexplored country, bounded on eitherside by seas beyond which lay nothing to the com-prehension of the natives but the vast expanse ofwaters. Where Mexico touched the oceans theearth ceased-all beyond was a wide waste ofdesert sea. Here, now, was the cross on theshore, and the Spaniards bowed down before it onthe soil of a people that they had never seen orheard of, save that America was inhabited by astrange race. In the center of this vast empire ofgold and gems, of fruits and flowers, of everycharacter of soil and climate adapted to the use,the adornment, and the necessities of man, hithertohad reigned in sublime security and grandeur theIndian Prince. He was not only in person andpossession secure and powerful, but he was re-garded with a superstitious sacredness that madehim soarce less than the God of Christian worship.This was his country-these his people-this hispower when the Spaniards landed upon hisshores.By the power of might, under the construction ofenlightened sentiment and human law, irom thediscovery of a portion of the continent by a Span-ish subject, all America became a possession ofSpain.

And what was Spain at the period of this worldof acquisition? Already the most enlightenedand refined and the most powerful nation of theearth, the Jeweled Empress of the world, fromthe throne of which her Queen exacted tributefrom Europe and Avia, and they paid her the hom-age of vassals. Africa was her slave. As if shehai been discontented with this, no longer thirst-ing for power or wealth, but yielding to ouriosity,she sent forth Columbus in quest of a wider ex-panse of her brilliance and prestige among the

" natuas. Sach wasSpatlata the pLisa of ttl 4it.

covery of America, and when Mexico was subja-gated to her power. The Catholic was her onlyallowed religion, it was the insignia upon her ban-ner; she had gone back to the parent of her lan-guage for its inscription, "In Hoc Bgno Vinces,"and under these signs she went forth to conquer Iand conquest. That banner seemed to follow thefields of gold and gems, of fruits and flowers-the Idirection of the cross seemingly lead only to fields Iof richness and repose. America was to pass theordeal of its teachings and example, and I havesaid Cortez reared it in Mexico. It was here to i

take the place of whatever was found dedicatedto the worship of the ideal or true God. This was ia land of idolaters; they worshipped in temples;had altars devoted to human sacrifices: they wor-shipped images in gold and silver, In carved rockand sunburnt clay. They lived a life of supersti-tion, and the mythology of their belief was natural Iand to their untutored minds, " without the light,"sacred and sincere.

Such was Mexico at the time of her subjugationby Cortez. Having burned his vessels to cut offall hope of escape-to destroy all contemplationsof the return of his companions in arms-he madethem to feel that the value of their lives lay in thedefense to the death. At this period all commnol.cation between the coast and City of Mexico wasconveyed on foot, and yet so perfectly and wellarranged were the posts and relays, that withintwenty-four hoors of the Spaniards landing thepews bad been heralded to the King.

"Then was felt the shock of war, the jar of ele-men•ts." If, in one day, with all th ra#ged en-lightenment of mind, it be yet startled by electricfashes of sudden events, what amust not havd beenthe excitement produced at the hitherto secludedindian capital, when it was announced that therewere "fair and bearded strangers on the coast,"with weapons "that mocked the storm with fireand thunder, the rain with iron, sweeping all be-fore them, and controlled and hushed, and made tospeak and destroy at the willof man." The horses,the first ever seen in Mexico, were reverenced fortheir tractableness to the strangers, and regardedas a part of them, which they could use or dis-pense with at pleasure. They were very centaursin the untutored native minds of the people. Su-perstition had found an ally that dwarfed theirtemples and veiled their gods.

The adroit and wily Spaniard left nothing un-done to heighten the superhuman influence whichhe found might be instilled into their supersttitousminds, and by thus subduing, mould them to thedirection of his own will and power. He madethem to believe that he could control the ele.ments-that he could bring famine upon theirland-that he could destroy them from the face ofthe earth, and consign them to eternal torment.At the head of less than 1000 Spaniards, an empireof millions trembled with awe. They imaginedthat such beings might be ubiquitous and fledpanic stricken from the swaying of storms, lestthese were but the presage of some new act in thegrand drama ordained, and to be enacted by thewondrous and wonderful strangers. It was repre-sented to Cortez that it was impossible for him toobtain an audience with the august sovereign-that he was pleased that the strangers had visitedhis country, and that as an earnest of his goodfeelings, and in return for the honor of the visit, hesent him an immense heap of gold and presents ofgreat value. Mentezumaimagined that this wouldappease the curiosity and satisfy the Spaniards;and that they would at once leave the country. Itbut aroused the cupidity, and enkindled the firesof avarice, which is the strongest passion thatburns in the Spanish heart, save that of revenge.They would explore a country that could loadthem with such munificent wealth.

With the slender means at his command,scarce above the munitions of an Americanrevenue-cutter, and at the head of a force towhich was opposed more than a thousand toone, the daring soldier left Vera Cruz for theCity of Mexico. I will not stop to recount hisconflicts ere he reached the capital; of the de-throning and murdering of the King; his destruc-tion of their temples and gods; and more of theconquest than simply to remark, that the latterwas complete and the former carried forwardthrough the blood of fifty thousand of the race ofMontezuma. Such results against such odds theworld's history affords no parallel.But Cortez, enthroned upon the ruined dynasty

of Montezuma, held possession only as a powerunder the crown of Spain, and Spain directed theaffairs, held the power and appropriated the reven-nes of this country until the year 1821. In thatyear Mexico declared her independence of Spainand became a sovereign power.

And where now was Spain? She had conqueredthe native inhabitants; had established the reli-gion of the Cross; had intermingled her bloodwith the people she had found here, until theSpanish became the language of the country; haddrained it of two thousand millions of dollars ingold and silver. I repeat, where now was Spain?Enervated by luxury and vice; debauched by licen-tiousness and riot; sunk in the repose of vanity andpride, twin emblems of weakness and not power,she had forgotten the hardy training of her people.I The nations she had humbled arose in the majesty

of rebuke and strength, and grasped the Americanpossessions, until Mexico herself drove her bloodroyal from the throne, and Indian blood againnerved the arm that wielded the sceptre of Mexi-can empire.

Mexico had conquered her independence ofSpain, but the religion of Spain and all the influ-ence and power, all the wrong and corruptionthat it implanted under the perversions of Christ-ianity, still held away over this people. It was left,and is to this day, upon every house dedicated tothe worship of God throughout the land. It wasin every palace and hovel; it was everywhere, andnever absent from a single Mexican's contempla-tions. From the merest child to the most decrepidold age ; from the poorest and vilest to the highestand purest; in short, throughout all classes inevery condition, the Spanish Catholic Cross, withall the indulgences it grants, was the only sem-blance of religion tolerated in Mexico.

In 1857 a change came over the spirit of thispeople. They awoke to their condition. She hadnow furnished the world with three thousand soil-lions of dollars, and was herself impoverished andin debt one hundred millions I Her people, as ifby one accord, panned and contemplated theirwrecked and ruined country. Their land wasdrenched with fratricidal blood; they had beenarrayed upon a thousand battle fields, and nostranger's blood mingled with their own. Andwhy was this stupendous wrong? I will answer.The Church that wears that Cross has aggregatedits power and possessions until it now represents$300,000,000 of landed property in this country.The Church upholds the army and the army bat-ties for the Church to preserve its power. Andwhatis that power? Religious intolerance, and allthe long catalogue of abuses that the SpanishCatholic religion has entailed upon this magnificentcountry. This vast power of wealth and abusela held by the priests In trust. And what are thesetrustees? They are the pampered, blear-eyed,debauched, bloated black dots floating here, in the

polluted and festering mass of ignorance, bigotry,vice and crime. But I have said this people awoketo their condition in 1857.

In that year the present Juarez Government hadits origin under a new Consaitution based upon thefundamental principles of political. civil and relig.ions liberty, and the nationalizing the Church pro.t perty-that is, taking this property from the

priests and giving itto the people. Thse lare hepoints contended against by.the preseon revolt-tionary party in Mexico, under the leader of thes Church army, General Miramon.

of our Government, ha reognised as te treeGovernment of Mexico that which seelto abl~b.Ish these reforms. The English, Frechaeanps.sian Ministers have recognized the ChrolmptIt will be perceived that the Congressframed the Constitution of 1867 took for its gullein the organic construction of thenewGoveramsetfor Mexico the Constitution of the Unitdd States.Of course this new organization was diametricallyopposed to and by the Church party. PresidentComonfort, having rendered himself obnoxiousto the Constitutional party and thereby unable tosustain himself in the Executive office, fled fromthe country, leaving the capital in the possessionof toe Church Government. Under the new Con-stitutional Government, it is provided that in sueacha contingency the Chief Justice of the SupremeCourt of Mexico becomes its President. Thus it isthat President Juarez is now at the head of theConstitutional Government, having been the ChiefJustice under Comonfort. The State of Vera Crnuzadhering to the Constitutional party, andJuares,being unable to hold the capital, escaped to SanBlas, where hehe embarked, takingPanama and NewOrleans in his route for Vera Cruz. here he estab-lished the capital or seat of the ConstitutionalGovernment, while Miramon holds the City ofMexico as the seat of the Church Governmeit.

Zuloaga succeeded to the occupancy of thecapital when Comonfort fled and assumed thereins of the Chaurh Government,but fdindg the ne-eussity for the strong arm of the military to sup-port his authority he appointed Miramon Presidentsubstitute. Recently Zuloaga reclaimed the Presi-dency, wherepon Miramona made him prisonerand took him from the capital on one of his ex-peditions of war. Thereupon the European Minis.ters protested against Miramon, and refased alonger recognition of the Church Government, andnow recognize n Government in Mexico. This israther a strong evidence of the wisdom and saga-city of the American representative, since the Lib-eral Government has been ably battling for itsprinciples, and with every prospect of success inthe reestablishing of peace on the basis of the con.stitutional guarantees of political, civil and religt.ons liberty, and the nationalizing the churohproperty.

SThe treaty concluded by the American Ministetwith this Constitotional Government, and knownas the McLane-Ocampo treaty, proposes for a con-sideration to be paid to secure certain privilegesand transits to the United Btates, which will re-dound more to the advantage of our people thanthe actual present acquisition of Mexico; while atthe same time it will secure to Mexico that per-manence of peace that will exalt her as a nation,and identify her in sympathy and interest with ourown as a free and independent Republic. Did weacquire the country we would be responsible forher national debt-we would be saddled with her9,000,000 of people, and a perpetual civil warwould be waged between our native and adoptedcitizens by the very conflicts which would arisehere in their diversified interests. Our peoplewould seek Mexico to attain gold, and not for fieldsof agriculture and legitimate industrial pursuitsby which to improve this country. The conditionof the Mexicans would not be improved, and astanding army to keep them in subjection wouldcost the United States more than Mexico could bemade to reimburse.

What is needed here is not to turn loose theAmericans upon this country,but first to make itsecure in peace, and than, as proposed by thetreaty to which I have referred, open it out toAmerican enterprise, by which this people willlearn that. the blessings of peace, the liberty ofconscience, and the right to possess their homesfree from Church exaction, will develope by laborand honest toilthat happiness without which theycan never be free.

The Mexicans are naturally inclined to industry,and if the avenues were once opened to them, bywhich to distinguish at one and the same time theblessings of freedom and labor, with an adequatereward and a market for their products, they wouldrise rapidly in the scale of improvement, intelli-gence and moral worth.

The humbler class of Mexicans have many ex-cellent traits of character. They are civil, gentleand polite, industrious and temperate, and areinfinitely better than many representatives of thesame class inhabiting the United States fromEurope. I have been in Europe, in almost everycity in the United States (in twenty-four of them),in the West Indies, and the second time a residentin Mexico, and I assert as my firm belief that theMexicans, under proper government, would de.velop into a nation of as valuable and refined citi-zens as any on the globe. Take ten thousand IrishGermans, French, Spaniards, or Americans, three-fourths of whom were day laborers or loafers,eking out existence by necessity from day to day,and substitute them in Vera Oruo for a like popu-lation now resident here, within a walled cityscarce three-fourths of a mile square, and drunken-ness, riot and debauchery, plunder and murder,would devastate Vera Cruz in less than one week'sI time.

What would hold good in Vera Cruz would hold togood throughout Mexico, as it respects the Mexi-can people, if they were not cursed by the miser- Ciable factions that breed discontent under thedamning desecration of "thy name, Religion."The Liberals of this country are aware of this, andhence their contest for the change they seek to shestablish. They ask the United States to secondtheir efforts to enable them to become a free peo- inpie. Let the McLane-Oampo treaty be, then,ratified by the American Senate; let Americancapitalists enter here and open grand railroad Ptransits from ocean to ocean, and awaken this peo- pple to the exercise of their proper energies, andthey will improve and advance until, joining with tiour people, they will unite in the high destiny of Gmingling in the blessings of political, civil and re- 01

ligious liberty. But leave them a prey to the in-ternal foes of Mexican interests and people, de- tiprive them of all sympathy and assistance, strike adown their uplifted bands imploring freedom, andtheir wailings will echo through the devastations Gof this fairest portion of earth, and return to nssaying, " Behold our ruin under the cross plantedupon the ruins of Trocali."

One further remark and my duty is done. I Phave not spoken of "the cross," save to redeem iiit from abuse and desecration here and throughoutthe world. I know nothing of the creeds of Chris" rtianity. I
