There is not the least doubt but that the unrest which has been brewing for so long in Mexico is at length coming to a head.. Aud, looking dispassionat-ly at the policy of President Huerta, it is quite evident that he is only asking for trouble. His latest declaration, that he will resist all the demands of the United States, demon- strates his solf-aufliciency and pomposity, and we may be sure that if he persiste along these lines he will only be riding for a fall, anl a severe one at that, too.
