deeply engaged."-In short, lac comes forward
as "a pubhc foreign Ceent, complaining Of maaI-
toid 'Kehe grievances, before The Congress OF
Is V. Pazos so ignorant an not In know thar
lie has no right TO address Congress upon s1fch
subject: Does he not know that the Presi.
dent Is the proper organ for receiving such
complaints tIat by the constitution - he shall
receive ambassadors aud other pRLjic minis

our aGveFnhoRt he haK always receive q diem,
Their dispatches, and their complaints tIat
TINS l. the very first case, in which = public
minister has appealed to COugress?-But Y. Pa
EOS was not ignorant of the course of our govern.
mcnt-He confeSSes that he himself had already
4" addressed the Chief Magsiraie"-1i,t not
" receiving such satisfaction, from that quar-
trrlaS the airiOts had rdryaiy anticipafed'
he had determined TO submit to the august
assemblies whom he has the honor now TO adj
dress, those evidences of injuries" which Tie
President rad disTe-drded.
In shmt he appeals from the President to
the kepi e~eitdtINes OF the People, or national
subJtrtS-undcr a faliaclOus hope, that they
Nuuiu NiClate lie FORMS vi the Constitution
tHfy ehtertdin an appeal from Ike Executive 10
themselves they listen 20 the cause ot the re.
pubIcs OF the South, To which, heSays, the Pres
ideHtt turns deaf ear And not cOniented with
TINS unconstitutional appeal, V. PazoS comes
toward TO give lis lectures on the p5iicg we
should pursue and even on our constitution
for he has the mOdesty TO tell Congress- that
the law of Congress, passed in the wear 1911,
by the constitution became effectuAliv null i'm
,wC Vear>!"
Z his second edition of the rage Of Genetand
the imFudence or Jackson, ha> he u equally
successful. The representatives OF The people
had too much veneration for their constitn-
ton to sacrifice IL TO foreign agent. His
memorial was rejected-and V. PaZo. may no
dnd thank his hOt-hradsd cunning friends
tor the counsel they have given him Certain
ly, never was man mere lily advised.
Receive that memoridl-and what will pre-
vent NJ. pazos complaining 10 Congress That
the President will not receive him as d foreign
minister?
ifthe President has violated his duty, let the
representatives OF the people do theirs. Let
them seek an investigation into the transac.
tOnS of Amelia 1sland--lilse mer, like repie-
sentdtives Of the people, but not at the ia
stance OF afereign agent. What does Mr.. Pom
dexter mean by saying, that" II gentlemen,
wish TO impeach the President let them come
forward openly, and net cloak the design
under a memorial from a tenezuela AGENT
lie does not surely iuslurate thai the deputy
OF Venezuela has bCeu cOdnse.led hV any uf
tue gentlemen MIR. p. addr ,,sed ~, ANY meni-
her OF COneiess, 10 complain - that h1dy.--
IL Is impossible HAT any member could have
cOncescendcd TO employ y Pdzos as his tool
To excite murinurs against the Executive
to scatter those iirebrands, which be had not
the courage 10 WELD himself.
1t is said, that the recent negotiation with
the Spanish Minister, has ended. as might rea-
sOndhly have becu expected in SmoEc. The
President is about 10 lay tie correspondence
