FROM COLOMBIA.
We have accounts from Bogota to the 9Th Of Feb
ruary. copy OF latter to the Colombian Consul
General, from the Secretary Of State published in the
Journal Of Commerce, reports It's following bases of
Constitution, which have been approved oy the Con-
l. The integrity ef the Republic of Colombia is con-
hrmei, as established by the fundamental law Of 1919
z Its government shall be CENTRAL popular, repre-
sentative, and elective.
3. The supreme power. in its exercise shall always
be divided into legislative executive and judicial.
!. The legislative power shall be vested in Con-
gress composed Ut Senate and House Of Representa-
ves, whose acts shall receive the sanction OF the Elk
ecutive.
The legislative power shall! never be deiegatedt to
any person corporation
g. The executive power shall reside in the Pres-
dent oil the Republic. and will necessarily be
csed through The agency CT MniSe's, and Score aes
OF State.
7. A Council Of State win aid the Pre.t.en, in the
more important business OF his admins traion.
Justice will be administered by Courts and Judi
catires, with entire independence in their exercise.
For the better government of the Republic, the
territory will he divided into Departments, pro vinces,
Can;ons. and Parishes.
TO- Chambers OF Districts will be established. with
p'wer TO deliberate and decide on all municipal and
local affairs Of the Dcpartme nts, and repre- ITO
the government Whatever may concern the general
in eress OF the Republic.
Sec. L Each Department whose population, wealth.,
and other circumstances sufficient to sustain such
an establishment separately with advant &c the public,
will have distinct Chamber.
Sci 2 Each tartm birh o,nfo fha
snallness OF its population other cruises, cannot
sustain such an establishment with public advan'age,
viii be connected for this purpose with an adjoining
Department.
ii. The periods tf election will be prolonged, to a.

IL. No power magistrate shall have unlimited au-

| ca.es OF high treason specified in the Constitution.
10. The Catholic, apostolic, Roman religion is the
eion of the State The government exercising the Of
flee of protectorate of the Colombian Church, other
worship will be permitted
is. The Constitution guarantees personal security tho
right OF property, equality before the law, the liberty
OF the press, liberty Of employment, and the right Of
petition.
Thus it appears that the form Of government, though
more consolidated in its general principles is
bic that of the u States that its head is Pres-
dent and all its parts elective We were not prepared to
in such connexion provision like that of the 10Th
sect on allowing OF public worship in the state
cept of the Catholic Church.

"The government thinks that tbs circumstance has
not increased the difficulties which surround us; that
the separation of the Departments of the East Is not
the wish OF its iDhabant and that, in 1926, they
have again been the victims Of individual resentments

been alleged, dec.vss nobody: for how is it possible
that the very could now honestly oppose such a
