merican States will see, and even now they see,
the benefits resulting from such friends of the peo
pie. Brazil unfortunately for US, begins nov to
feel her evils--We swear independence death;
we shall be independcnt-We swear the integrity
of the empire; it shall be maintained-Wc swear
lastly, constitution; il shall rule for over all
the Brazilian soil.

GENrLEIIEN: The Republic expects from this
extraordinary session OF its resentatves, iupor-
tant practical results of the representative system
1t should not be matter of surprise, that i'm an
infant State, which for centuries had been under
the rule OF an absolute and barbaroIs government,
circumstances should require extraordinary sessions
OF the representatives. Of the people. Inexpericnce
and want of reflection, induce the belief that per-
menent constitutions are adapted to a people IA
progs'essU, ard whose information and light increase
slowly and uneQuay. The spirit of the ancient
metaphysics urges the adoption of chmerical pro-
lec,s OF legislation, and OF institutions alone to re-
tard and paralyze instead of giving impulse to the
conduct OF affairs, and the force of authority, which,
when important reforms are be effected should be
adequate.
Gentlemen: In few words, you see the actual
state OF the republic, and OF the great of
convened. Nations, possessing but the shadow of
representative government, have, under less inn
pcri0us circumstances, assembled their Cortes, or
Congress, thereby benetitting themselves through
laws and provilent measures. The Supp eme
Author oil Liberty, whose kind protection has been
exercised towards us, has favored us in this Con-
sress with great talents, eminent virtues, consum-
mate experience, prudence, knowledge of public
aHIirs, and OF the great principles OF administrative
science. To deliberate and resolve wisely upon
the proper questions, it will not be necessary that
they be proposed 10 you. Bat the Executiv
to suggest them, he would not lie without prece-
dent. There exists not ut this time a system o.
finance, nor ofcret ;nur is the old miserable Spanish
system abolished. Commerce Is unprotected, educa-
uon neglected, the militia unorgamized and in |
truth, there Is no subject mat does demand
reform ana improv emeh,. The representatives are
veil acquainted 18th the public necessities and will
provide for their relief in the wises, manner.

reat cancellations, and will permit that il shall
serve eXampe 10 other states still torn by evils
shocking to humanity
