What chiefly characterized it was
the friendly intercourse established
between the great sections of our COZ

difference, and this is the first lesson
of the Rio meeting. We may feel sure
that h~enceforth a new celebration
OF those American festivals will more
and more develop the sentiment, the
instinct, of continental confraternity.
The repeated assembling of our ma
tons will force them to exchange their
views, to smooth away their mutual
difficulties, to realize more vividly
their natural kinship. The organ was

The right of revolution looks more
