Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Manifesto of General Comonfort, in Defence of His Policy During His Administration in Mexico Thrown on a foreign shore by the political storms of my native country, far removed from the whirlwinds of passion now raging in her, and an entire stranger to the conflicts of parties which are rending her to pieces, the time has arrived when I should explain to my fellow-countrymen and to the world at large the motives of my conduct during my boisterous administration, the political idea which at all times guided the acts of my government, and why the efforts which I made to give peace and liberty to the Republic were rendered fruitless. When I left Mexico in February of the present year, I knew full well, that I left behind me a spirit of party which would persecute me with its calumnies even in a foreign land; but I determined to keep silent, hoping that in course of time the passions would be calmed, and that at a more remote day when that agitation had subsided, my voice would be listened to with less prejudice, and my words would be better understood. I have to this time kept my purpose, notwithstanding that the attacks of my enemies have more than once tempted me to swerve from it. But, as I perceive, that their malignities are incessant, and that deceit and calumny continue with relentless tenacity to throw their envenomed shafts against me, it is high time that I should break a silence which has not served to protect me from unjust accusations; and which, moreover, may be unfavorably interpreted. I believe, on the other hand, that the period of my administration has been fruitful in wholesome lessons for my country, and that I should no longer hesitate in directing them to the attention of my fellow-countrymen, inasmuch, as by performing that duty, I defend the honor of my person and of my principles, responding triumphantly to those who have taken pleasure in reviling me. I might confide my defence to the contradictory criminations of which I am the object, as the best justification I could give of my policy - emanating as they do, from the persons who have caused the misfortunes of my country.
