may serve as an explanation and guide in the pre-
sent difficult moments The programme which !

idea is to call congress the only solution which can
form lasting future and basis which may approx

which nurtured ever since my arrival in the coun-
try, as soon became assured that the repre-
sentatives of the nation could be united free from

impossible to unite Congress with free power 10

arrived the key when the idea OF q constituent Con
could be taken before was evidently shown by the
ties made against the idea L emitted. A Congress
selected by the nation as real expression of the
possible means OF concluding the civil wars and of
putting an ini end to So much bloodshed as sove,
again submitted myself TO the expression of its WILL

would not or dared not submit themselves TO such

or indirectly, may menace independence and the

national Congress will settle the destiny of Mexico
as regards it's institutions and forms of government

who demand it fall in the struggle the judgment o

right, and will declare that we were the real defen
ders OF true liberty that we never sold the terror
Of the nation that we endeaVored to save her from
a second and oppressive intervention and in goo
faith had used all our efforts that the prirclpl
ofthe national will might triumph. 80
