try that He would guide and bless the

traction. La some instances, the stories, DIS
reputable 10 the character Of the good Bolivsr,
have been manufactured in this country, and
circulated by tbose, who have the impudence
to attempt to enforce an opinion on the world,
that they have an extensive correspondence
with individuals, intimately acquainted with
Bolivar, and who are capable Of apprecating
the nature Of his ultimate designs.
As to the calumnies, uttered by the conduc-
tor Of ono of the presses of this town, we al
ways set them down as unworthy of notice,
and not cntitled TO moments consideration.
We have looked upon them as falsehoods, we
have proved the correctness of our assertions.
At thus moment we have not doubt, that
Bolivar, will so conduct himself, as to enable
his friends and advocates to realize all their
calculations and fondest wishes, and in such
manner, as to justly entitlc him to the glorious
title Of the Washington of the age There
never has been the least cause 20 suspect his
"integrity to God AMI man." and his whole
life has proved him 10 be, not only gallant
soldier, but good man. We confidently trus; =,
that the next intelligence we have from South
America, will satisfy the world ofthe purity of
Bolivar's intentions, and refute the calumnios
of his enemies. That hc should have been viii
fed and traduced is not at all singular, since
those who have no reputation Of their own
are anxious to blur and blast the chara cters of
those, who stand pre-eminently conspicuous
among the good, the great and the virtuous.
