L sitm* to l e the doctrine of the day that the House

certain edicts relative to the nauonsl policy ; the two

GEN. PAEZ.
We find t lie following article in the Whig. Its pe
ru-*#l hat afforded ua more than ord narf gratification,
recalling to our Riemory, at it do* a, a very interesting in
terview we had the pleasure Ur enjoy w ith the di»ttri»
g wished individual alluded to, in the summer of 1842,
arrd confining, moreover, the favorable impression of his
character derived from our brief intercourse. Gen.
Paez is, indeed, no common man. Viewed w ith refer*
ence to his whole career, and the circumstances of his
time and country, we doubt whe'her there is, at present,
on the stage of action, a more remarkable personage.—
V\ hen the revolution broke out i.i Venezuela hi 1810, he
was a simple Uanero, or dweller upon the vast plains
of the Oronoko, engaged in rearing horses and cattle, and
raised, in no degree, above Ins fellow herdsmen, by edu
cation or refinement. In fact, he Ciuld neither read nor
write, lie entered the service as a private, in a corps
of Lancers, recruited on the plain*. By the display of
reckless bravery, extraordinary personal prowess, and uu
tiring partisan zeal, he soon secured his promotion lo the
command of a regiment, and became the terror of the
Spaniards. \V e have heard many anecdotes, of an inter
esting charar'er, illustrative ol his courage and enterpr z *.
We may but allude to one feat which, we believe,
stands unparalleled in trie annals of war. A Spanish
flotilla of gunboats, on the river Apure.ann »y«.J by their
fire the flank of the patriot army. There was no artil
lery in the patriot camp and Paez conceived the idea of
capturing the flotilla by cavalry. W ith his Lancers he
swam in the charge; boarded the vessels; and, in a hand
to hand fight, captured most of them and forced the oth
ers to drop down the river. Bolivaii —w ith thatajpre*
ciatiun of men at their real worth, which is perhaps as
good an indication of genius as any other—soon raised
Paez to the rank of General, and not long afterwards
made him ilia second in command. At the head of an
army, and with an independent command, he displayed
the highest qualities of the general, as, hi his previous
and subaltern career, he had shown the more vulgar ones
ol the soldier. We have not apace to mention, even in
the briefest manner, the arduous military services he per
formed, or to enumerate the bailies in w hich, as subor
dinate or chief, he participated. Throughout tlie long
and bloody struggle for Colombian independence, he w as |
ever where blows were thickest, and where courage,
skill and perseverance were most needed. It was Ins!
good fortune to contribute largely to the attainment ol
the “crownirg victory” ol Carrabubo—Indeed, it is said
ihat to a charge of Cavalry made by Inin, w ithout, H !
not contrary lo, orders, the success of'he Patriots on that
bloody day was due.
1 lie independence of Colombia being estiblished. some
alienation occurred between Bolivar and himstlf, which
wasmainly instrumental in the dirsuluti n ot the Ue
public of Colombia. Venezuela, one of the constituents
of Colombia, having resumed her independent existence,
culled Paez to the Presidency. The constitution pre
scribes that the President is not eligible lor re election,
until lour years haveel.ipsed from the period at which he
goes out ol olli ;e. We stw him near the cl »se ol Ins
second term, and whilst the election of a successor w'as
in progress. It was suspected who was his favorite
among the candidates, but no one could alhge that the ,
slightest personal or t ilicial influence w as used lo effect
the choice of his successor. He retired, at the close ol
his Presidency, to fits estate near Caracas, where he
.-pml tns time in rural pursuits, a quiet, though not un
interested, spectator of the progress of events. It will
be seen that, though constitutionally eligible, he again
declines being a candidate for re election—alleging the
precedent set by Washington. The man who, under |
such circumstances, can take Washington for a model,
lias the elements within him of virtue and true great
ness.
We have mentioned the want of education under
which Paez labored in the outset ui Ins career. It was
stain obviated. He applieu hum-elf diligently to study,
and is now a man exceedingly well mlormtd on all
subjects—particularly politics and luslury. W hat iv,
perhaps, mure surprizing, be is sard lo master ol a
polished and vigorous sty le of wriling. He is a stales
man ol enlarged and liberal views, and the progress ol
his country and ils comparative exemption Irorn civil
commotion, are the best evidences of his capacity lo pre
side over its destinies. Ills enemies accuse him ol
cruelty and re-klesaness of litem his niilnary, and oldu
pllcity and intrigue in Ills political, career. Perhaps,
there may be some ground lor these charges—but we
must judge him, not by our, nr by any ideal, atandaid,
nut by the circuit.stanC'S ul Ins tunes and country.—
Thus judged, lie has limiting to tear from history, winch
will, unquestionably, rant, him second only to Uolivai,
among all those lu w hum the revolutionary llirues ol
South America gave buih,
lien. Paez, when we saw him, was about sixty years
ol age—scares Iv of the average height, strongly made,
with a striking countenance, in which benevolence was
■lie predominant expression. We were scarcely prepar*
rd to meet a man so polished and winning in his ad
dress. Ills manners were elegant and courteous—a
blending ol esse and uaiural digntiy. They would elicit
no invidious comparison lit any court ul Kur.pe. His
reception of us was exceedingly kind. He seemed fa
miliar with llie political events of the day m the United
Slates, and enquired pertinently about our leading slates
men ol both paniea. Our chief uly.ci hi visiung C'arac
as being thus gratified, we took our leave, with a senti
ment ol the highest respect lor tins exitaortitnary man,
whose policy and example must have an abiding influ*
trice upon the deslrnies ol Ins cournrv.

We are persuaded the President would gladly euuipu

There is said lo be a want of uniiy on llils question i,i
the Cabinet. The President and all the members ul ms
Clbinei. except Mr. Huchauan, are f. r cn promise
Hr, I rum mouses ol sellisw.tss nr ambition, is Untpuard

respondent of the N.Y. Courier & Enquirer, whu has
shown himself frequently tube well informed on these
subjects, writes thus: !

ihe President lo gratify the first and ne st reaamabll

•‘.My opininn therefore Is that Buchanan will eitlie
in-ike terms with ihe President, | y which his Homin'

oiven to tlie consummation uf the paci/ic intentions«'

1*1 lh* President to give him the seat he so much cj
vets. I have no doubt the President anxiously dt,sirel
to adjust the Oregon question on the basis hereto^
offered, and I know lliat in itris he is sustained, W*
the exception ol Air. Buchanan, by ihe united setitiinPnli
of his Cabinet; and I no not believe that he wills'tff*’1
that gentleman to defeat his own convictions el duty
as weil as the expressed w ill of the nation.”
It is lamentable to think that a seat upon the kPni’*‘
of the Supreme Court is lo be given as the reward,if
as the means of getting rid, of such a politician, T1'*
vacancy I as now existed more than two years. Is 11
possible that the President delays to till it, in referei*c«
10 the course of Mr. Buchanan?
