the attempt should actually be made, il will then
be time enough for the American powers to con-

were instructed 20 endeavor to obtain amicable

relation to the important subject Of the forms of
government, that should be finally established in
the American republics, the ministers were in
structed to take advantage of every bit opportuni-
ty to strengthen their political taiih and to incui-
cate the solemn duty OF every nation 10 reject all
foreign dictation in It's domestic concerns, and at

blessings which the people OF the United States

After the lsmented death Of Mr.. Anderson, in.
structions were given TO Mr.. Sergeant and Mr..
Poinsett, who were appointed TO proce eI to Tacu-
oaya, after the Congress had adjourned there from
Panama, which instructions referred TO those Civ

tiers were however specially instructed in all their
conversations and intercourse with the other Min
isters, 10 endeavor TO strengthen them in the faith
of free institutions, and to guard them against any
ambitious schemes and plans, from whatever
quarter they might proceed, tending TO subvert
liberal systems.
The entire instructions are of great political
interest, are drawn with mastery ability and their

PANAMA INSTRUCTIONS.
The instructions prepared 10y the late adn,inis-
tration for the Ministers of the United States ap-
pointed 10 attend the Congress Of Panama have
been for some weeks before the country. What
correct motive could have induced the late Presi-
dent and his advisers 10 desire the publication of
these documents, l. is impossible for us TO conceive
While they contain nothing calculated to instruct
chief TO some of the most interesting foreign re-
ations Of this county. Were il not probable that
they will circulate beycm1 the limits OF this union
they might be left to stand, without comment ano-
ther evidence Of the weakness, the folly, and the
ambition Of the late administrations but as thew will

these instructions contain language Of insult and
abuse towards the rulers of Spain and Colombia,
which, il il bad been used by aresiden Minister,
would have JUSTIFIED demand for his immediate
recall.
In passage, IL Is said, that the South Ameyi--
can Republics "haye been all along able, una'd-
ed, triumphanily 10 maintain their cause and 10
conquer the arms, IL they have not overcome the
oJsfindty Of Spain"
Again: at is possible that these efforts may not
be cfIectual, and that the pride and obstinacy of

To give point and effect to the indgnity offered
| 10 the Spanish government by this language, these
instructions disclose the fact that the late Presi-
dent has been secretly intriguing with other pow
ers Of Europe, for The purpose Of compelling Spain
| by an irresistible influence, 10 acknowledge the
independence OF the Southern republics. This is
their language:
