peaceable submission of five millions of people, and

for two centuries. All this requires no comment;
the Spaniards who did not directly obstruct the
natural order of conquest and colonization, established
a local and permanent influence ; the visionary
and factitious system of other European
powers was in a moment subverted, when the military
power was destroyed which supported it. *
