Leios de su Esp ia hermosa,

Dulce hogar de sus am0"es,
Duermen en- perdida fosa.
Sin que una mano amoroSa
Vengs 4 regarla de flores.
Pero esas tumbas sagradas
Dan los bosques los aromas
De sus brisas delicadas,
Sus l&grimas las cascadas,
Sus arrullos, las palomas.
Ell prado, sus lirios belloS,
La verde hiedra, sus galas,
Ell oielo azul, sus detellos,
Y smorosa sobre ellos
Tiende la gloria sus alas.
Gento sesenta llegaron
Y on esa fertil region,
Donde los Zipas reinaron,
La cruz de Cristo fjaron
Y de Castillo el pendon.
Este, un altivo guerrero,
Empuna con fuerte msno
Que cubre guante de acero,
Esa, un pobre misionero
Un fraile dominicano.
Y en- es' TERRA ignorada
Brilla entonces nueva luz;
La barbarie es sojuzgads,
Con ell hierro, por Quesads.
Por Las Oasas, con la Cruz.
Con su acero en- sangre tinto
De la cordillera al pie,
En- nombre de Carlos Quinto
Traz6 Quesada el rec nto
De Ia hermosa Santa-Fe.
Lu ha 81 indio, mas en- vano,
Que cede su arrojo Zero
Mas al peder soberano
Del siInbolo del oristiano
Que Ia etpada del guerrero.

Y el fuego del arcabuz
Muestra el indio gu pujanza,
Mas ceds ante la esperanto
Que le promote Ia Cruz.

Que es del progreso IL tea
Que los hombres iluminS;
So lux es luz que fas ,ina,
Porque es Ia luz do Ia idea

Aquella, rayo quo abrasa.
All pudo el pueblo ibsrO,
Tras de refida pelea,
Someter al lndlo fisrs:
Lo venci6 con Q. acero,
Lo redimi6 con Ia idea.
Colmado su anhelo Ardients

Y, oual Gguila imponente,

BAjo sus alas cubrio.
Mas los pusblos que acatAron
La vountAd dc sus reyes,
Tn dia el armS tomAron,
Y dereohos reolamsron,
Y on vez do cedulss, leyss.
Lucharon, y al fin vencisron
Sin mengua para Castillo,
Que los que ell triunfo obtuvieron
A ser hbres aprendieron
Del bravo Juan de Psdilla.
Las husstes, do arrojo llenas,
Que sostuvleron 10 lid
contra sus huestes serenas,

Arder 10 sangre del Cid.

A Washington despatch to the Boston
TraUetler says: Among democrats best
informed as to the wishes of the majority
of their national committee, the opinion
is expressed that Chicago will be selected
as the place for holding the democratic
