Here follows the Liberstor's proclamation pub
ilshed in the last d qurer.
IL will be seen by the above that the I,berai or
has treated the acts of The municipality OF Qao,
fIuayaquil, SC. with the contempt they meriGed.
and has ordered that the Constitution be observ ed
gn the administration OF the laws, Without the
sghtest alteration throughout the departments -
his act OF itself is sufficient do away all the
Soul aspersions so literally bestowed by the IIdi
tors in this country, particularly some in New
York, upon the character of Bolivar, in which
hey have accused him OF every thing vile and
contemplate, without even the shadow of truth TO
sustain their uDhslowed delraction. When they
eead these evidences Of his uGshsaen attachment to
liberty, his devoted affection TO the people and
i,is uncessng love for his native country the blush
II shame must be felt that they could, for mo-
inent, aid in attempting TO sIly the reputation of
one OF the dsinteTested patriots Of The pres
snt age.
We have only room now to short ex-
tract from the Bogo;a Constitutional of the % OF
Nov, containing, know the sentiments felt

1rrachery of the con-pirators of VaIencia
90 Such being our senti-
dnents, it is superfuous to add, that, we received
intelligence Of the establishment OF the Consti-
tu.ional System in the Departments of the South,
with the most cordial satisfaction. To say that
surprised at it, would be TO confess that
imagined the President capable of throwing
stain on his glory and reputation: we expected
no less from him. 1t was impossible, as we said
10 our last number, for him TO look upon the gross
aduIation OF GuaysquiI and Quito, otherwise than

BENEFITS of independence and liberty conferred upon
them by him, to be agreeable 10 his ears, should
lie conveyed in terms very different from those
which sauted him in the city OF Guysqui. We
yield TO none in attachment TO General Bolivar; as
ColombiaDs, we glory in possessing him; as men,

that, at least there is who, after having effect

Interested and incessant exerioa for the freedom

should show ourselves insehshle to his fdyan;sge

every attempt which might be made to induce him

which he has hitherto successfully pursued aud
which, we believe, leads to the only legitimate Oh.
