By the New GTanadian Senate, OF the Cas-

BY the provisions Of this convention, New

ers, one to be appointed by each Government.
In case OF disagreement, an arbitrator to be
appointed by the commissioners, or II they
cannot agree in the selection. by the Minister
OF Prussia in the United States. The deci-
sion If this commission is to be final, and
the Government of New Granada STIMULATES

to be redeemed within eight years, in equal
sem-annual payments, with interest at the
rate Of SIX per ceGt. per annun, the first pay

The convention permits the | nlted States
to buy or lease d tract OF not more than one
hundred acres in one of the islands OF the

But if it is believed that this proposed
reform should not be adopted, it appears ne
cessary to adopt some ether course, rather
than to remain in the situation in which We
were placed by the law of June Is, 1857.
What shall this course be!
THE Incorporation of the States OF New
Granada into the American UniOn, under the
same conditions as the States that already
form that COnted@ra1y.
If we do not recognize ourselves on a
solid basis, such an incorporation Is for US
the means Of resolving the difficulties under
which we labor.
This course will lie better than to remain
in the situation we are now 10.
Let us become part of the American
Union, and the States Of New Granada will
find themselves in the same cludltlJn as are
the States of New York, Peunsylvania, and
