To General Sr Martin

For his next neighbour to the north, the Protector of Peru
but the Liberator of Colombia. Should this address ever
reach you, it will reach you in duplicate of it, through the hands of that
distinguished benefactor of mankind. How it has happened, those However it has happened, these
same advisers, which report suspicion of as towards the Protector, report continually
increasing confidence as towards the Liberator. As yet,
of of the Liberator at any such distance as ours from the scene of actions, neither in
Protector, nor yet in Liberator can confidence here be entire.
"Confidence" (said the first of our two Ditto) "is a plant of slow
"growth in an aged bosom: and the effect which in mine has been
exercised produced by age how in other produced increased by age experience has sufficed to produce in many another
been produced by experience that I know of. Of him the Liberator every
thing that I hear tends to accelerate the growth of it in
mine: in instance regard to the Protector, the the darkness in which
the state itself every thing remains as yet involved, compells us
to , for every such accelerative pause, and not look out as we do with no
small anxiety for every such accelerative.
Should the Liberator behold in his next neigh the
Protector a genuine Liberator likewise, he will behold in him a
friend, bound to him by the closest ties of interest
as well as sympathy. Should those whom it most
nearly concerns behold in the Protector an Emperor, what more
natural — what more dable — than that, feeling in the
in whom they thought they saw a Liberator in the
despotism or Despot,
Emperor
such as those who may be seen and felt here , and every where,
they should look for a Liberator elsewhere: Elsewhere? and
where then? Where? unless it be there where the Colombian in the
in the opinion of the Colombians,
they have already found one.
