In 1872 Oscar tn. the First king esxeds o. dotts,
sent to General Paex the Grand Cross of the xA ~,
Order of the Sword, with q communication ooSch>
in terms expressive Of his high regard and estr'm
for the general.
A work. published in your city Of New York, un.
der the title of "Men of the Times" contains .
brief biography Of General Paez in which his merits
and services are Justly recognized; and have now
containing, among other evidences Of the sppreoia
ton OF the character and political conduct Of Gene
raj Paez, the remarks made by those illustrioua
American statesmen and orators, Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster, on occasion OF the generals visit to
Warrington, in 1861. Henry Clay having been pre-
sented in the Senate to General Paez who then
made allusion to the important services rendered by
Mr. Clay to the cause Of South American indepen
deDce, the voEerated statesman repliedsIt is true
felt great interest and took an active part in
favor Of the recognition Of your independence
but my interest was much diminished whom

jected however, when Venezuela, having be-
c1me free and independent nation, commenced
through your exertioDs, career Of progress, under
libsral institutions, and government that offered
constitutional guarantees to your fellow citizens,
the interest that had felt revived, and began to
entertain well grounded hopes" Daniel Webster,
when introduced to General Peez, said :-"I have
watched the events Of your political life, and expo
rienoe much eatiSfaction in saying that have al
ways regarded you as an eminent patriot, and the
firm supporter Of tho civil Institutions Of your coun

have, Mr.. Editor given you Some Of tho many
testimonials in favor Of General Paez which, coming
from high and intelligent sources, entitled to
great weight; but Us commenced quoting from the
narrative of the Impartial Observer" 1 will now
wind up with another extract from tho Same paper
1t is as follows, viz 1--WE have thus seen General
Paez obtain for Venezuela an Independent govern
ment--we have seen him acs as President for con-
stitutional term put down q serious revolt calm
condition, and finally. leave Ss Presidential scat,
the credit ofthe country good, its trade commerce,
and agriculture increasing, and no cloud to be seen
in the political h0rizon.''
And what is the condition Of this country now,
under tho Monsgas rule Instead of that "rotation
in Office" which tho writer Of the narrative says was
80 much desired, We have one brother Monagas sue.
ceeding another brother Monagas in tho Presidential
chair, the credit Of the country completely annihi
lated, and tho revenues squandered by what has
boon very appropriately denominated here the Ia
droKera, (the robbers den,) composed Of . clique
who fatten on the spoils; the very judges open to
corruption, and crime committed with impunity.
Well may it be remarked Of General Pae1 and his
opponents, "By their fruits ye shall know them"
