in ronsenting TO attend the meeting, your fathers
purpose was to dissuade the parties concerned
from the undertaking, and to prevail upon the m to
abandon it. My belief is founded upon my entire
confidence in the veracity Of Mr.. Plimer, upon
the general coin -idence of the information stated
in hisletter, with that which had cotemporane-
ously received at w ashington, and upon the re-
markabIe fact mentioned by him, that he was told
at the subsequent session Of Congress, that the
autumnal meeting at Boston. had failed in consc-

had further reason for believing chat the
project was disapproyed by your father, because
1t had originated principally from dissatisfaction
at the annex alton Of Louisiana to the Union. a
measure, which from common report, l under

separation OF the Union," hut that .he had rea-
son to believe the contrary" and in the close of
his letter he gives reason in confirmation Of his
belief that "ths project disapproved by" Ge-

on the perusa OF the foregoing extraordinary LETT

to avail themselves Of the admissions il contains.
We leave to them particularly Che differences arls-

knowledge OF what he pronounced a traitorous
conspiracy among the eastern federalsts to effect
separation Of the Union. All this. and much,
very much more, we make over TO his former DO

BUENoS MISREPRESENTATION OF La
VALE.
We have already stated our belief that the con-
duct of Gen. Lavalle was calculated to produce
much doubt regarding his motives in eifectns
his recent revolution at Bucnos Ayres /; and I'M
less We very much mistake the character and pa
trc'ism OF many Of the chiefs of the provinces ,
an ba
the usurpation.
From our files Of Buenoi Ayres papers to the
LIST JAM we learn that the intelligence of the pro-
ceedings of Layalle and his conductors caused
the most intense excitement in Cordova
project was presented to the Junta of that
Province by one OF its members, (f.azcano,) and
immediately passed, 10 unite in the person of the
Governor (Bustos,) the Legislative, Executive
and judiciary authorities. Bustos has issued
proclamation, dated Cordoba, Dec'6er 10th 1928
stating that "liberty is threatened by factious
party: that the man who caused the anarchical
movement OF LIST inst in Buenos Ayres ia the same

been guilty OF the scandalous act of deposing the
Governor General. constituted so by the general
vote OF the Provinces, placing themselves at the
head OF the troops who had been destined to as.
sert the honor of the Republic, are the same who
in 1914 requested from, Charles Nv a branch of
the house of Bourbon to be King oy or us: are the
same who in 1915 protested to the Count de Casa
Flores, the Spanish Ambassador in Rio Janeiro,
that ii they had interposed in the American affairs

rights OF His Catholic Majesty in this part Of A.

have sold us TO Don John W., then Prince Regent
OF Portugal; they the same who in 1919 would
have sold US to the Prince of Lacca; finally they
are the authors OF all the misortunes Of America"
The proclamation concludes thus:

rights II you wish TO be free: chastse the wicked
men who have dared 10 provoke US, and appear

ter to the Governor of Sante Fe, TO the following
h.ct:-Ihat the aDarcbical proceeding in Buenos
Ayres on lst inst, led by LavalIe, is practical
lesson 10 the Provinces, of what they are to ex-
pect from this tiireul club, whose wish - to ex-
terminate all benihcent institutions ALWAYS accus-
toned TO PIT the country i'm conflapraton, by
means oil calumny, intrigue, &c; they could not
support with patience, sthe tranquility which
reigned in the Provinces. They had despoiled
Don Manuel Dorrego, not only OF the Government
OF the Province of Buenos Ayres, but also of the
National, Executive, with which the Provinces
had invested him.
This event is undoubtedly the first signal for ci-
VII war, that this party wish to deprive the provin-
ces oil their rights, and alludes to the quantity oil
american blood which has been spilled to sustain,
the President Rivadavia, whose existence in tina,
post was reprobated by all the Provinces; end that
the impuniiy which had followed the anterior acts
had rendered them in aptitude to undertake any
thing which might favour their views.''
The tovernor of Santa Fe, Lopez, has issued
circular TO the different Provinces, dated 9th
December, 1S2s. upon the movement in the city
OH the lst instant, stating that it is necessary to
attack IN i's origin the evils which threaten not
only the Province Of Buenos Ayres but all the
Republic, which wiiIbe involved in miseries II
