PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC.

fAGlFiC AND ATLANTIC.
The splendid project of uniting the Pa
cifc and Atlantic ocean by a canal will
now be attempted. The late success >of
the Patriots in Peru, the settled character
Of the Mexican republic, and the entire
freedom OF South America, and its exemp-
ton from foreign control, warrant the i'm
mediate execution of plan, the most de-
sirable, assit will be the most advantage
Gus, for the civilized world. We lately
took nasty glance at the situation of that
strip of country called Central America,
and, we understand, that the Mexican and
Colombian governments, together with the
authorities of Central America, have de-
termined upon the execution of the pro-
Iect which is at this moment in operation.
The union of the Pacific and Atlantic
is an old measure, upon which much has
been written and done. As far back as
1906, a charter was obtained from the
British Parliament, for company, calling
itself tine Darien Company, and which o.
riginated with an enterprizing Scotchman,
by the name Of Patterson. The subscrip-
tons to the Darien Company greatly ex-
ceeded -four millions of dollars and, not
withstanding the subsequent jealousy and
opposition of parliament, kle merchants of
Scotland, in 1863, fitted out five vessels,
containing 1900 men, which arrived safe
at Darien. They founded place called
st. Andrews, and adopted mild and whole
some regulations. In short period, the
jealousy of the English extended itself to
the Dutch, and both countries united to
cripple the object in view and in 1909,
the Spanish government opposed the set
Element, and the English cabinet would
not treat for passage across the isthnius
and the whole project was abandoned, to
the certain, and manifest, and probably,
perpetual injury Of the British nation, in
relation TO a union Of tire Pacific and At
Iantic, the key Of which they had, or could
have bad, in their possession.

opposition TO MIR. Newton course satisfacto-
rily explained by his personal attachment 10
Gen Taylor, and his hostility to the restrictive
system, of which Mr.. Newton had been an ar

fore. II he is inimical TO the known doctrine
of Virginia, his high honor will not suffer him to
accept an appointment, conferred on him ex-
pressiy from his capacity and willingness TO sus

will be the highest pledge that he is already thei
friend, and prepared TO defend them in the en-
called. If republicans, therefore, were justified
from his dubious, or supposed dubious politics,

sideraions, their perfect confidence until he for

he was elected. This, we are sure, will never
