New GRANADA SEEKING ANNExArrox TO
THE UNITED SrArEs.-The following is an ex-
tract from the report of the Attorney General
Of New Granada, submitting the new Con-
slitu-tion to Congress for its action:
But if it is believed that this proposed
reform should not be adopted it appears nec-
essary to adopt some other course rather
than to remain in the situation in which we
ware placed by the law of June 18th, 1857.
"What shall this course be?
"THE INCORPORATION OF THE
STATES OF.NEI w GR.4.NdD.7 INTO THE
.f.HERIC.f.V UNION, UNDER THE SANE
CONDITIONS ii THE ST.4TES THAT
ALREADY FORM TH.aT CO-N,FEDERaCY
Z" If we do not reorganse ourselves on a
sound pasis, such an Incorporation is for Us
the only means of resolving the difficulties
under which we labor.
This course will be better than to re
main in the situation we now are in
Let us become part of the American
Uuion, aud the States Of Granada will find
themselves in the same condition as are the
States of New York, Pennsylvania and 9th
er States in the Confederation; enjoying ex
ternaly the protection and the power tina,
great people can ensure us; and preserving
our government and the means Of betternQ
our internal condition, without risk frou
those bandalic incursons with which we are
at present threatened"
