"I shall back Rivera and the Nacionales Independientes. They offer the most for the country, and Carrera was guilty of treason. Why should Rivera submit to him?"
Eberado de Cary
Senator for Valparaiso
It was neither a suggestion nor a demand that Senor Carrera made, Senor Carrow, though I pleased that you would come to my defence; it was merely the ravings of a man who seems to have little respect for immigrants, the life-blood of all nations, those seeking freedom from the lands our fore-fathers fled for much the same reason. As well, I did not ask him, I asked the man who mattered, el Presidente, to reconsider his policy.
