First edition. A satirical poem that expresses misgivings about the return of Federalists to power in the person of President Herrera. Expresses the fear that the country will lose its wealth and everyone will be eating cactus. Attacks different beliefs, such as those of Luther. A highly unusual publication that appeared just as war was on the horizon. Light horizontal crease, top and bottom margins lightly chipped.
[2] El Gobernador del estado a sus habitantes. Sabed. Que por el Ministerio de Hacienda se me ha comunicado el decreto que sigue. [San Luis Potosí, 1847].

[3] El Gobernador del Estado de San Luis Potosi, á sus conciudadanos. [San Luis Potosí, 1847]. Dated in type August 25, 1847. Broadside: 31.5 x 22 cm. First Edition. Announces that Mexico City is on the verge of falling and urges greater patriotism among the citizens: “Aun laten en nuestros pechos los sentimentos sublimes de honor y patriotismo; aun arde inestinguible en nuestros corazones el sacrosanto fuego de la libertad!” All margins tape stained, right margin and lower right margin chipped.
[4] Aviso muy importante. [San Luis Potosí, 1847]. Dated in type August 25, 1847. Broadside: 32 x 22 cm. On embossed paper. First Edition. A mournful, astonished announcement of the fall of “la hermosa Capital de la República.” This announcement is bizarrely premature, since Scott did not enter the city until September 14. At this point not even the important battles of Molino del Rey and Chapultepec had been fought.
[5] Ultimas noticias de Jalapa y Nuevo-Mexico, a deguello de los Yankies. San Luis Potosí: Imprenta del estado en palacio, á cargo de Ventura Carillo, 1847. Broadside: 21.5 x 15.5 cm. Undated. Reprints news from two sources. The first from Orizaba reports that Scott is ill and has no intention of advancing on Puebla. The second, from Durango, seems to be a report of a successful Taos Rebellion, which had already been suppressed. The second report ends with the sentiment, “Ojala que sea verdad.” Both are false, however. Interesting examples of Mexican propaganda. Lower margin chipped and stained.
