Dates from Bogota 70 May Is. Congress ad
iourned on the l4th 1t thought at the capital that
the notifications made in the Election Law would BE-
satisfactory the dsected States nasmuch the Sen
ators and representatives in Congress of the liberal party
had recommended to those States the acceptance OF
the Law modified. But by recent adviccs from the
States Of Sagdacna and Bolivar appears that the law
amended does not meet with their approval! The
Governors Of these States have called the Legislatures
gether and submitted the question for their considers
ton. They both take strong ground against the
Law in its present shape. The Governor Of Mag
dalena in his message, saysThe President Of the Con-
federation is making great preparations for war; and Is
ctvely recruiting to increase the army, aud of the
States judging themselves threatened by these measures
preparing to enter into the fratricda struggle and
armng and organizing their militia" He concludes
by recommending declaration Of against the federal
government The Governor Of Bolivar equally bcllise-
rent He says:--"Ihe federal Congress, according to
general opinion, has placed the states in position to
choose between ignominy and war; The State Of San
lander, il is believed will also array itself
in an actual state Of revolt will make four
out Of the eight States Of the Confederation
which, Is believed, viii soon he in open hostility 10
the government at Bcgoa. Notwithstanding these
like demonstrations the patriotic Of the country
more actively engaged in Ibis audabie undertaking than
Gen Herran, late Minister the United States There
are others again who believe that peace can best be pro-
NOTED by bringing forward Gen. Mosquera the head and
front OF the revolutionary party, candidat. for the
Presidency move in that direction has already been
made at BOgota, the Senators and represent
tives in Congress from the States of Santandcr
and Panama having actually nominated him for that
Office. Among those who prominent in this
ment is Senior Manuel Murilo Who has great influence
with the liberal party.
The election is to take place during the present sum
mer and upon its result depends whether the revolution
shall be continued discontinued Should the liberal
party succeed it is believed that peace will be rcesab
lisled; but should it be defeated the probability Is that
the revolution will he bloody and protractei one,
less Gen lIerran is chosen President In that
all parties doubt would acquesce, his well known
prudence would at inspire confidence among all
classes ia the stability Of the government.
Senior Nunez, Senator from this State, in
communication which appeared in the Tempo, of Bogots

chase Of the confederation its revcrsionary rights In the
Panama Railroad is the agent of Mr. Ambrose w Thomp-
son, Of New York who has authorized larger bid to be
made than the railroad company.
Senior Nunez further says that he is not unwilling thai
the Governor should part with the reserved rights the
road, provided the company would assume the pay
ment Of the national debt OF New Granada. The public
will be the better able to appreciate his modesty when
told that the national debt Of this country amounts
fortytw millions OF dollars.
