Congress in these solemn moments Is
fraught with tremendous interest on ac-
count Of the difficult and painful situa-
ton through which this country Is
passing. II the patriotic sentiment
should ever prevail in Congress it
should now predominant more than
ever and high above every other senu-
ment, for upon the work OF this Con-
gress and the support which 1t will re-
celve from the country's good sons,
united in q supreme effort. must depend
the salvation OF our fatherland from
ruin and humiliation.
For this reason the Deputies and
Senators have come together animated,
7 feel. by the purest patriotism and pre-
pared to put aside with the most COM
plete self-abnegation all ambitions and
personal interests, even political hatreds,
to work together for the supreme ideal
OF the salvation OF our nation.
Says He Kept His Promise.
AS you. Mr. President, have just said,
you confine yourself in your message
to giving an account of the political
events which nave happened from Octo-
ber 10 until to-day. clearly demonstrat-
ing that you have fulfilled your solemn
promise that the Legislative power of
the republic should resume its func-
tions, thus putting an end to the anom-
alous situation which previously pre-
vailed.
THE national representatives have
listened attentively to the events which
led you to dissolve the Twenty sixth
Congress and the reasons you had for
taking such action. We understand
equally we'll that you have limited the
extraordinary powers with which you
vested yourself. assuming only such
powers as were absolutely indispen-
sable. When you decide to give an
account OF the use which YOU have
made OF those powers. then only will II
be the proper time for the Congress to
Judge and decide upon its appreciation
Of your acts since October 10 last
elm concluding your message you ap-
peal to the patriotism Of the Deputies
and Senators forming the Congress
which is to-day inauguTating Its ses-
slons. ! believe that ! am interpreting |
faithfully the ideas and the purposes Of
the members of both houses in assur- |
Ing you that we all are resolved to
comply with our duty and that our love
for our country will be the sentiment |
inspiring our debates and resolutions.
I'VE must above all strive toward |
Cancellation and concord, ever endeavor-
ing within our faculties to procure
union and peace no. only within the
bosom of our assemblies but through
out the republic. for were we not de-
termined on this national work We
should not have responded to your call.
