with that compassior and generosity which
the contemplation of unhappy men, misled by
black intrigue and vile seduction, dictates 10
truly liberia! minds. In fine, though faciious,
they are Spaniards; they are our brethren. &
the conquerers are Li6erGies. The cause of
the country has triumphed the Nation. the
Constitution, and Liberty for ever. By or.
