10 The asmrASs OF The REygMic In rE CrY OF MrzInn
The undersigned chiefs and officers assembled in tho
barracks Of San Augustin considering that there Is no
doubt that the situation wherein the republic finds itself
imperiously demands the adoption of prompt and
energetic resolutions in order 10 avoid that the evils under
which il suffers be aggravated by the division OF the
Considering that order TO arrive at the pacication
Of the country it necessary that the actual government
to exist because experience has proved that neither
itself the called constitutional can reckon on
the physical and moral force necessary for obtaining the
peace Of the republic those good results will not be at
IL
does not rely the support OF public opnon and more
particularly that of peaceable wealthy and industrious
citizens who have the most to suffer under the state Of
anarchy and disorder wherein we are living
Considering that this support can only be hoped for
when the persons who to give it have due partcpa
on in the organization Of the government, and in the
election Of the public functionares and that by this
means alone that cordaty and union SO indispensable
in the present crisis exist between society and the
armed force;
Considering that, provided there be actual sua-
ton any remedy II can come only from the nation, that
the latter shall constitute itself freely and give itself
government which, supported by the of good faith Of
all parties, shall render justice to all and establish secu-
Considering that in order to obtain this result it is in
dspensabe to establish provisional admnistra which
shall begin the work Of concilaton, proceeding with i'm
paray justice and energy whose origin shall flow from
the popular will as far as permitted by the short space Of
time wherein necessary to establish it, and whose
| chief shall be elected freely;
Considering that within this short time no other expe
dent be employed in order to ascertain public opinion
but that OF having recourse TO the respectable inhabitants
Of the whole republic who, account Of the itself
have abandoned their residences, who well know and
represent the ideas Of their respective localities and who
to-day are in this capital
Considering that the proclamation by the armed force
any political plan whatever, the designation by it of
ddae, and its support of any personal ambition what
ever would only contribute TO render the situation
difficult and to extend still farther the civil war;
Considering that the nation only should solve the social
and political questions OF the actual struggle that is its
concern not only to constitute itself definitely but also
only to and asa is sovereign
and bearing in mind that his Excelency Gen. ID. Miguel
Maria Echeagaray in the name Of the forces under his
mand with remarkable dsinerestedness has manifested
hts consent to these ideas and his desire the plan
