DEAR SIR: In our last communication, under date
OF the 18th of April ult, advised you Of the ap-
preaching electloneering campaign for Vice Pres-
dent OF this Republic, and that UrbaneJa and
Amanda were The two most prominent candidates
Tor that Office. Subsequently to that period Amanda
resigned the office of Secretary Of Hacienda
and Foreign Relations. 1t costs us very little to
divine the motives which induced this gentleman
to retire from the Cabinet at this particular moment.
The two great political parties In the various pro-
ylnces are actively engaged preparing and drilling
their respective forces for the conflict, and we shall
gather together abundant materials in relation there
to, designed particularly and especially Tor your
benefit, perusal and qualification, 1t Is the opinion
of some that the party friendly to and desirous OF
the elevation Of Amanda, will triumph in the pro-
vince OF Caracas, sustained by GuZman,tCdto OF
GEL Venezolano," and portion of the agrlcultu-
raIists. Urbaneja, it is confidently expected, will
carry the other, provinces, If not Caracas.
Underhanded intrigue is the order of the day,
and similar is the management, artiice and cum
ming experienced in this country, although, per-
haps, in a lower degree than the "dey people" of
the United States subject themselves to, through
the Influence Of those innocent and dlslnterested
creatures commonly called politicians.
Venezuela is destined to become, without doubt,
IN the course Of time. one OF the most fiourishng,
prosperous and powerful nations on this part OF the
continent. Her territory is immense aud capable
OF sustaining millions and millions of inhabitants
The richness Of her soil and benignty of climate
probably unequalled by any country in the world
Under the auspices OF herrepublican government,
directed by expert and intelligent men, progressive
in their principles and favorable to the onward and
sures which would contribute to effect mighty
change, and create an elevated public spirit, with
determined resolution to promote the welfare

Several writers, Including the Editor OF e" Ell We
nezolano" and " Ell Promoter" {ya muerto) are en-
deavOring to raise a hue and cry among the people
against the righteous and celebrated law of the 10th
OF April, 1884, which is the only efiectual bnwark
and security remaining 10 the mercantile commu-
nifty, from the yOracious attacks OF the iinanclers

merchants and Of the agriculturists, vocierate IN

the ruinous effects of law which protects the in

their desire, Judging from the present appearance Of
affairs, that this law should be erased and blOtted
out OF the statute book, with the view of allowing
the present healthful state of commercial inter-
course, to relapse into that confusion and disorder
which unfortunately prevailed anterior to the pas
sage of the law in question. All of this cutlery may
geous form. We observe with infinite pleasure,
that Rojas, editor OF " Ell LIBERAL and other
equally talented gentlemen, sustain the law with
great force and cogent reasoning. They under
