Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1826-09-16

subject-but il common report, if the information
brought to this country by intelligent travellers,
personally known to the South American Liberator,
be entitled to credit the tales told Of him. by the
Editor Of Thursdays paper, as silly they are
unfounded, and as senseless as the individuals
credulotis, who listen to them. BOLIVAR, like
WASHINGTON, has had his full share Of contumely
and scandal and it is not probable that whilst he
lives he will succeed in escaping the libels which
circulated at his expense by remorseess calum-
naors. As to his political integrity and patriotism,
man who is acquainted with the political history
ofSouth America, will doubt either, and We lament
that the Washington Of the age, the Liberator Of
millions Of bondmen, should receive no other re-
ward from his brethren of the North, for all the
services he had rendered to the causes ofhuman-
ty and universal Liberty, than umely and scan
dal. That the Editor of Thursdays paper, has any
authority for the tales he has thus circulated we
are inclined to doubt, and we have too high an opin-
ion of the gentlemen composing the Legation at
Santagio, to believe that they would send to this
country, reports which only tend to disturb the
harmony which at present exists between President
BOLIVAR, and the North American Cover nment.-
If they have thus committed themselves in circula
ting stories which no one will believe, it is time
they were called upon to return to that country,
which they have misrepresented.
They are not sent to South America as spies nor
does it become them to pry into the closet the lar
der the bed chamber ofthe President to ascertain
his movements sufficient is it for them to do
the duty assigned them by that Government by
which they were delegated.
1t will not be readily believed, that whilst in
Santiago, the American Legation employ them
selves in fabricang tales for Rhode Island news
paper-t is hoped they have nobler and better en-
sagements.
The matrimonial connection, contemplated be-
tween Miss HART and President BoLIvAR, is an af-
fair ofno small consequence to this country, and
every American who looks forward with an anx-
ious eye to the formation of alliances, which will
tend to the consumaton of the liberties of the peo-
pie, inhabiting the Northern and Southern iJemi-
spheres, will anxiously look for its ratification.
The marriage Of Miss PATTERSON, of Baltimore,
to one OF the Corsican Hero's brothers, was hailed
in :his country, as thing ominous of an ultimate
alliance with the French dynasty-and some in.
dulged in fears, which told them that our republi-
can institutions were to be engulphed in the
vortex Of the political feuds of Napoleon. But the
alliance ofourfair countrywoman to the llustrious
Bolivar will be hailed with different sensations, as
1t Is indicative of the progress of republican feel
ings in neighborins Republic, whose interest has
already become identified with ours. It will
also naturally incline the feelings of BOLIVAR to-
wards this people, and give rise to the interchange
Of mutual good offices between the citizens of the
Two Americas.
We hope that the next intelligence received in
this country, will bring the gratifying information,
that Miss AUGUSTA HART, has already sealed her
vows to the illustrious and good BOLIVAR, at the
altar of her God. and bestowed upon the noble
Chieftan, the best Of all treasures, the smiles of
lovely woman, and the fond caresses Of a North
American beauty.
