tby an Italian, Monteloun, who had been
cashiered for bad conduct, in AngOstura,
by Gen. Bolivar, who stated that he, the
young Columbian, was no father Of family,
and, in consequence, had no right to
speak. This Italian who made himself
short time before Editor of a Paper,
which was entirely devoted to Gen. Boil
ivar, addressed the Assembly, ard re-
commended them to invest Gen. Bolivar
with the dictatorship. He was not in
tcrrupted by the Intendant, although he
was neither a Colombian nor a fatherof
family himself; and his services were
afterwards rewarded by new commits
sion in the staff, and he was selected to
accompany Gen. Santander, when the
latter was sent prisoner to Carthagena.
Another young man, Secretary OF the
Supreme Court of Justice, Sr, Vasque,
addressed, then, the Assembly, and such
was the visible impression which his
speech, in favor Of liberty, made on the
auditors, that the Intendant seemed to
dispair of the intended success Of the
meeting. He was again interrupted by
the most indecorous behavior, ,and threats
held out by Gen. Cordova. who called
the opponents of Bolivar factious mob
and who, with all the violence of his fe-
rocious temper, welded his whip in
manner which would have called forth
the Indignation Of the bystanders in any
part ofthe world.
After him, lawyer of a very bad rep
utation, Sr. Alvarez, ros and proposed to
invest Bolivar with absolute power, for
which purpose he had drawn up reso-
luton which after having been read and
recommended by the Intendant, was
signed by about 80 persons who were
present-others aiterwards-and their
names were published in the Official pa
per-
The Assembly held in open air,
was composed of about 200 to $50 per-
sons. The resolution, or Acta, investing
Gen. Bolivar with Dictatorial power,
was sent to the provinces, and the Gov
ernment invited them TO initiate the ex-
amples of the capital which they in con-
sequence, did.
A dcputation from Bogota was immc-
diatcly dispatched to General Bolivar,
who had already left Bucaramanga, on
his return to Bogota, which place he en-
tered on the 24th of June 1923. Some
time was required to know the sentiments
of the cytrcmities of the Republic, ,and,
particularly, of Venezuela; but as soon
as Caracas had sent in her Acta Boil
var issued Decree, which he called
Ley Organica, Decrcto Organica, and
which was to rule the Republic till 1880,
when new Congress was to be convo-
ked.
This decree bears the date Of 26th
August, 1896.

have indicated any feeling in regard to
it differing from that expressed in the
vote referred to, when, with single ex-
ce eption, all the Senators representing
States north of Mason's and Dixon's line,
opposed the measure. They do not look
to these lands, as has been unjust'y stat
ed, with the eye Of an unfeeling land
holder who parts with his gold. They
view the new States as younger sisters
in the same family, upon an equal foot
ing with themselves, and entitled to an
equal share Of their Partrimony; but hav-
ing children to educate, and numerous
wants to be supplied, they will think 1t
uDgenerous, unjust, and oppressive,
should these younger sisters take away
the uholc. Sir, it is the Inheritance
which descended from our orcfathers who
wrcsted part of it from the British
crown at the expense of their blood and
treasure; and paid for the rest of it by
the earnings Of their labor. 1t is not for
me to say what are the feelings of the
people of the Middle States Oh this sub
lect. II is their privilege to speak for
themselves, and they will doubtless, when
they think it necessary, exercise that
privilege. But l will say, that if they
entertain the sentiments of their fathers,
they will never consent to cede away
hundreds Of millions of acres of land for
nominal consideration, or gratuitously
relinquish them to any new State, how
ever loudly she may insist on the meas
ure as due to her rights and her sover-
cignty, or however boldly she may threat
en- to defy the Federal Judiciary, and
decide the controversy by her own tribu-
nails, in her own favor.
