Colombian Consulate: colombian consulate Interlude. In 1828, as a supporter of the Adams administration, Harrison was rewarded vith an appointment as minister to Colombia. Reaching Bogota in February 1829, he was recalled a month later by Adams' successor, Andrew Jackson, but continued to function as minister until his replacement arrived in September. His stern republicanism, however, proved uncongenial to the prevailing colombian consulate government headed by Gen. Simon Bolivar. Once relieved of office, Harrison wrote a patronizing letter to Bolivar, declaring that "the strongest of all government is that which is most free." This epigram aroused controversy in Colombia but proved to be useful in Harrison's later political career.Austrian rails are now electrified from Vienna's new West Station dear to Buchs, at the Swiss frontier. Danube steamers are practical for use by tourists upstream only, from Vienna to Linz, in the American sector, this being the lovely and celebrated castle country of the Nibelungen, and on, next day, to Passau in Bavaria. A special permit must be obtained in Vienna from the American Consulate and this will be issued on the third working day after application.
