Counterfeit FiOe Dollar Notes of the Bank of
Deiazvare. letter Y, in favor OF S. Bush, dated 9th
| Sept 1885, very well executed, in circulation.

We lay before readers, to day the message of the
President recommending the acknowledgement of tile
independence of the South American Provinces Il will
doubtless be read with that attention which its importance
deserves. and we imagine there be but opinion
as to the course government should pursue As
publcans, must heartily rejoice in their emancipation
from despotic yoke from their allegiance to priest
ridden and imbecile monarch The mother country cannot
subugate them and INTERROGATION by the United States
will give them rank among free and independent nations
1t said the Spanish Minister is preparing broes-a
mere matter OF course what he can protest against when
his government make hoV of resistance in the
Provinces it will be difficult matter to conjecture The
President has done duty in manner highly credtabe,
Congress having given the Bankrupt Bill its gcts, will be
enabled, hope to do theirs, and accomplish something
worthy the Representatives of free people.
The last accounts from Washington city inform MS that
Cesar a. Rodney ESD is rapidly recovering from his ndis
position.
