interview which took place between these
chiefs of opposite parties, was such as
what might have been expected Of parti-
zans fighting in the same cause, and not
of men who have all along appeared to
entertain deadly hatred of each other.
That Bolivar should have evinced for
giving disposition, even to the man who
nseditated the enslaviDg of his country,
was no way inconsistent with the honora.
bic feelings Of the champion Of freedom
but that he should have embraced that
man as brother, who still retained in his
bosom the same malevoient passions that
hurried him on, during his mad career,
to commit the most atrocious acts of cru-
city, sparing neither man, woman, nor
CHILD, is what We can scarcely credit
We conceive the armistice to have been
an act of necessity on the part Of Moril-
10, and as affording convincing proof,
that he considered his future prospects ss
desperate. We Cannot, therefore, be-
leve, that Bolivar, in these triumphant
circumstances, having the enemy Of his
country fallen and PROSTATE before him,
would have acted part, which, as rep
resented, must lay him open 10 the sus-
picion ofhaving betrayed the cause Of
liberty, and leagued with its most deter
mined foe. Combining the suspension

Of this state held special session in
this town OH tuesday last for the pur-
poses expressed in the following message
from the Governor, which was transmit
ted to both Houses at the opening OF the
session.
tss MESSAGE.
Gentlemen Of the Senate, and Gentlemen of
me House Of Representatives,
Calling you together at this inclement
season, upon an ordinary occasion, would
perhaps require some apology but since
the dispensations Of Divine Providence
have removed from us one of the orna-
mcnts of society, and also deprived this
State Of the one half part of the represent
ton in the councils of the nation, feel
that any excuse or palliation of the meas
ure would be unnecessary.
You, gentlemen, will perceive BY the
documents herewith communicated, that
it has pleased the Supreme Ruler Of the
world to take from us our respected and
much lamentcd fellow citizens. the Hon.
orable James Burrill, Jr. and the Honora-
bic, Nathaniel Hazard, the former Sena-
tor and the latter Representative from
this State in the Congress OF the United
States. In this peculiar and unprece-
dented situation, | have not deemed it
proper TO make any temporary appoint
mcnt Of Senator in the place Of MIR. Bur-
rill, as authorized by the Constitution but
have considered it duty incumbent on
me to convene the Legislature to fill that
vacancy, and. ifexpedient, to provide for
the election of Representative in the
place of MIR. Hazard whose term would
have expired OH the third Of March next.
Although the Constitution of the United
States provides, that " when vacancies
happen in the representation from any
State, the executive authority thereof
shall issue writs of election to fill such va
cancies, )" yet the law and the practice Of
this State under that provision has been,
to return the votes given in at such eiec-
tioh to the General Assembly, who alone
have the power Of counting them, and the
authority to declare the person elected. -
Under this law and this usage, an election
of Representative in the place Of MIR.
Hazard. could not have been completed
in season for the person elected to have at
tended the present session of Congress,
without the Intervention Of the Legisla-
ture. ,i,A.
In order to provide for the present, and
to prevent delays in future, at the happen
ing Of any vacancy contemplated by the
Constitution during session Of Congress,
it is suggested for your consideration,
whether it is not expedient to pass an act
authorizing the votes given in at any such
election to be returned and counted in the
same manner as is provided for choosing
Electors Of President and Vice President,
provided the General Assembly shall not
meet within---days next after such
election.

SOUTH AMERICA.
The armsticc, which has taken place
between the patriot general Bolivar and
the royaIist MuiAo, seems to promise
well for the inhabitants of this extensive
region. AT all events, u cessation of
hoslilities, though for limited period,
must be highly gratifying to people
who have been afflicted with the horrors
ofintestinc war almost ever since the mo-
mcnt they reared the standard Of inde-
pendence. We hope that this event is
an Indication Of the wisdom Of the coun-
cils which now influence the dcstinics of
Spain; the government ofwhich has too
long acted upon the impolitic maxim. SO
prevailing in Europe, that coertion. rath-
cr than Cancellation, is the most approved
method of rcdressing pnOlic wrongs, and
rendering rulers popular with the people,
From what has already come under our
Rotice, as to the. measures pursued by
the Spanish Cortes, we certainly should
consider an alliance with the South A
merican provinces as an event, IN their
present distracted state, as preferable to
inter,ninablc war. Still, as VIC arc per-
suaded that the causefof freedom is daily
progressing inthese provinces, we should
rather prefer continuance of the strig-

which would subject millions Of frcemen

THE SPANISH MAIN.
A letter from gentleman al Carscoas. dated
Dec. 18th, 1870, states:
"Bolivar advanced with his division
as far as the town Tucuyo; General Mo
rillo proceeded to meet him, and beat his
advanced posts in Tucuyo and Caxuche.
On this account, on the 10th Nov. Boil
ivar evacuated TruxiIlo, and sent three
aids dc camp, one after the other, asking
a suspension Of arms, and protesting (as
he said) before God and man, his ipno-
cence ofthe blood that might be shed.
On the 25th Nov. an armisticc was con-
cluded, just-at the time when his de-
struction seemed almost certain. 1t is
said that the royal commander in chief,
MorilIo, received the license Of the King
Of Spain, to return at once to the mother
country ON the eve of the battle which
should have taken place; sud that this
circumstance occasioned compliance
with Bolivar's wishes. Morills was
glad to carry with him an arrangement
such as an armistiec. He intended to
embark ON the Goth Dec. for the Havana
and there sail for Spain, leaving Marshal
la rorrec as his successor. There was
no positive news at Caracas, in the
middle of Dec. respecting the state Of
things i'll the kingdom Of Santa Fe.
Confusion and anarchy were said to pre-
vail there.--parties existing in favoEre-
spcctively Of Bolivar and Santandcr as
rivals, SIC.

contains the arunistice signed on the 10th
| OF Nov. between the Chiefs, and other
interesting documents The preamble
runs thus :---" The governments Of
Spain and OF Columbia, desirous Of COM
promising the differences which exist be-
tween the two countries, and considering
that the first and most important step to-
wards this happy consummation is re-

pose of mutual explanation and Under
