My respectable counirymen;
In treading once more on the shores OF our beloved

tor the re establishment OF the empire OF the laws. From
the dungeons Of Bocachica, l protested TO the Government
that consigned me 10 them, that il il would permit me TO
leave Colombia, and to live far from her shores, | would
not return again without its consent. "rhc oath, I" | here
added, "ola uran no has discharged every duty comhded
to him, ;utting at hazard his comforts, his interests, his
tranquility aud bis lille, is a complete guarantee" Time
has recently done justice 10 the sincerity of my dcclara-
ton. l return TO the bosom of my country after being or.
dercd by the National Government, and after you had
opened the door TO me- do not return to revenge my
personal wrongs, nor TO inquire who have been my perse.
cutors. l come TO offer all the services which | am capa-
bic of rendering, with that disintcrestednes and pau iotisu,
with which | have served the country, uninterrup,edly

In my present situation, the condition OF the country am
