PROCLAMATION

Of Sjmon Roli ARj to the People of the South. CITIZEN SOIDIERS—The perfidy of the government of Peru has passed all limits, and broken all the rights of the citizens of Bolivia and Colombia After the thousand outrages suffered by heroic patience, we have been obliged to repel injustice with force. The Peruvian troops have entered the centre of Bolivia, without a previous declaration of war, and without any cause for it Such abominable conduct serves to demon® strate fe us what we must expect from a government which does not recognize the laws of nations, nor the gratitude which is due to friends and brothers^To refer to the catalogue of the crimes of the Peruvian government would beftoo much, and we could not hear it without a loud cry of revenge but I do not wish to excite your indignation, nor to re* new the pain of your wounds. I invite you only to arouse against those wretches, who have already violated the soil of the Republic, and yet inr tend to profane the bosom of the-t mother of heroes Let the Colombians of the South be armed—let thei^' fly to the frontiers of Peru, and wait^ there the hour ot retribution. presence among you will be the to* ken for combat
