About This Item

Veracruz: August 16, 1846. Good plus.. [4]pp., on a bifolium. Some dampstaining and dust soiling; minor wear at edges. In a quarter calf and cloth folder, gilt lettered. At the outset of the war with the United States, disgraced former president Santa Anna was living in exile in Cuba. After the Mexicans were defeated at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma in May 1846, the American troops crossed the Rio Grande into Mexican territory. Santa Anna used this emergency to regain the trust of the Mexican government, and returned to Mexico on August 6 to lead the military defense. This message to his fellow citizens announced his return to Veracruz, and attempted to inspire a patriotic resistance to the American incursion. His lengthy address reads, in part:

"Compatriotas: nunca ha sido tan difcil la situatcion de de la república: comprometida por un lado su nacionalidad, se aspiraba por otro á someterla al mas duro de los yugos, á una dominacion europea.... Orígen verdadero de la lucha prolongada en que nos hemos debilitado, y en que á las escageradas pretensiones de un corto neumero de individuos han sido sacrificados los intereses de la mayoría, es preciso ya hacerla cesar, obsequiando los deseos de la nacion, y oponiendo a los artificios de aquellos la union de los republicanos de buena fé, la concordia del egecito y el pueblo. Así unidos conquistamos la independencia de la patria; unidos la afirmaremos, estableciendo la paz sobre los sólidos cimientos de la libertad pública; y unidos conservaremos la integridad de nuestro inmenso territorio....

"Megicanos: hubo allá un dia (mi corazon late al hacer este recuerdo) en que acaudillando á las masas populares y al egército en demanda de los derechos ed la nacion, me saludasteis con el título envidiable de soldado del pueblo. Permitidme que lo vuelva ahora á tomar para no desmerecerlo nunca, para defender hasta morir la independencia y libertad de la república."

A significant address, heralding the return to leadership of the most significant Mexican figure of the country's first fifty years, as Mexico prepared for the American invasion. Not in Palau; this printing not in OCLC, although single examples are recorded by two other printers.
