"Deputies and Senators:
Public necessity, admitted by the
Chamber of Deputies, by the Senate and
the supreme court, called me to the SUI
preme magistracy of the republic. Lat
er, when in this same hall | had the
honor of addressing you in compliance
with the constitutional precept / prom
ised at all costs to bring about peace. :
Seventeen months have passed and in /.
that brief period of time ! have formed Z
an army with which to carry out that .
solemn promise. You all know the i'm {
mense difficulties which my government
has encountered owing to a scarcity of
funds as well as to the manifest and :
decided protection which a great power
of this continent has afforded to the reb-
els--so much so that when the revolu-
tion had been broken up, seeing that its I
chief leaders were and continue to be
divided, the power in question sought 7
pretext to intervene directly in this con-
fict, and the result of this was the out
rage committed at Vera Cruz by the =
American feet.
Success was had, as YOU know. in
adjusting honorably through our dele.
gates at Niagara Falls the petty Tam .;

the support of whom we all know. =,
"Yet, after the highly patriotic work n
achieved by our delegates at Niagara 4,
