TIE RECEPTION OF GEN. PAEz THE UNITED STATES.
E Cidr1r Pubt,co, of the Sd of September,
publishes at length the account of the reception of
General PaeZ ia New York, and at the close, the
editors make the following re marks:-
" Of what value, we now add, are the miserable
calumDes of Gen. MOnagas and his cruel persecu-
ons in the face of these demonstrations of the most
free and happy people on earth They are utterly
worthless; General Monagas, far from humbling,
as he has desired, his great antagonist, has only
exalted him. In our last number of this paper we
stated what opinion the Americans entertain OF
his expatriaiion has been provdenti4l, and that the
days which he is passing in foreign land are, per-
bsps,f the greatest OF his life. In fact, General
PaeE must never have experienced emotions more
consoling than when he greeted by the
authorities and the people of the most powerful
nation in the world, in the highly honorable man
ner in which he has been received. These dis
tnguished marks of esteem, which Partially cannot
viiiate; which me an party spirit cannot eclipse;
these distinguished marks of esteem from whole
people, the most free and happy on earth, can
never be forgotten, nor cease to speak in favor,
aud to the honor of the hero to whom they have
been expressly paid His enemies, his impacable
prosecutors, among whom General Mon agas is the
foremost, will say they are undeserved but history
the reward conferred by people, eminently re-
publican, to one of the most faithful defenders of
republican institutions Let General Monagas 60
to the United States and he will what re-
ception is prepared for him. He would then
learn, if he has yet learned what opinion the
of Washington have formed of the enormous crime
perpetrated, exclusively by his Excellency and for
his Excellency's benefit, on the memorable after
noon Of the oath of January, 1913. He would then
learn that in that country there is no administration
which changes Its cabinet ministers like changing
shuts, thus showing the utter absence Of pro-
gram; that in that country there are no Governors
who have sacked the provinces, nor a government
that has pstronzed robbers, assassins and malefac
tors of every stamp, or that has coerced Gen.
gress, deprived the people of their elections, by
buying up votes and by other coercive measures,
and by permitting its partizans TO wound and kill,
as has been the case in Msracaibo. Let General
Monngas 70 to the United States, and he will
learn that there never has existed a government
there that imposed forcbe loans, the inversion of
which is unknown, or that has attacked the pro-
perry of others at its own special pleasure, or that
has interpreted the constitution and the laws ac-
cording to its CAPRICE or that has committed all the
scandals and all the high. handed acts of certain
government of Venezuela. For the present we
shall confne ourselves TO giving, in the name Of
Veneauela, our most sincere thanks to the au hori-
ties and the people Of the United States for the dis
tineushed reception they have given TO one of our
most illustrious countrymen. We shall conhne
ourselves to inform Venezuela Of the distinguished
manifestations which, in honor of her, the North
American nation has made towards that perso-
mage, who, in her eyes, is still the illusrious citi
zen, and let record in paper, with the great
est pleasure, these acts which thus unite and bind
our country with nation that occupies in Ame-
rics, the rank and importance tina Russia does in
Europe.
