Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1830-06-03

Comu, ludaDt GeneTal of Eoyaca, which have tue
honor to lay before you, sufficient proofs Under
circumstances critical, the government being pla.
ced il precarious pos: ION, cannot answer Tor the
tranquility OF the people, the security of the coun
try. For some days past, the government has been
of opinion, that the business which occupies the at
tcnon of Congress, viz. the sanc.ioning of Con-
suton, would be nnavaiug-it being presumed
that Ven zucla is disposed to resist it. and that if con-
sen,ed by the Republic [as wliole] it would not
be adopted in all The departments. And of what use
would be a Constitution which was not to continue
force q single day? Constitution is of those
instruments which ought never 10 be sanctioned, UNI
less it is expected they will be accepted and obeyed
otherwise it is better not to frame them. 1t is great
evil to habtuate the community to look upon Cons-
tutions, agreed by the National Representation, as
s mere wasicpapcr, and of no importance.
The government is Of opinion that the labors Of
Congress will not be us cul to the nat,on except by
dire citing their attention TO the formation of
g,nic decree which shall specify the Attributes of the
Supreme Government, and guaranty individual and
social security,-and by appointing the high func-
tonares who to take the direction of the Stote,
with authority to convoke Grand Convention which
shall devote itself to the affairs of the Colombian
/ people. Such Is the general wish-such is public
opnion-and such tho means of avertpg the calam-
I ties which are not only imminenly feared, but
already beginning to come upon The revolt of
a single province may carry from partial revolu-
tons to absolute Reorganization and anarchy. If
union with tho Departments of Veneznela s possible,
the Representatives of the people will be able to con
= and agree upon such compact may be most expe
f dent But in the midst of revolutions and disorders
. the people rush headong to ruin.
t In making this communication to your Excellency
think myself bound to say, that the proposed nea-
b sure is both urgent and necessary. Be pleased to
submit it to the wisdom of Congress- who penetrated
with the warmcst desires, will adopt suitable means
to secure the tranquility of the people and the wei
= fare of the Republic
