views are regarded by the capitalists engaged in
cutting passage between the Atlantic and Pacific,
as SO many interferences with the money power Of
commerce. They virtually ask, who cares whether
Epglshmen or Americans, or both together, open
the high road Of the civilized world to India so that
the world has the benefit of it, and We capitalists
make handsome investment
The second and last point is the forcbe fact that
Great Britain is exhibiting, with respect to these
roads or highways activity that stands in strong
contrast to the supineness Of our government What
can be more evident than the zeal which the British
agents in Mexico display, whenever the Tehuan-
tepec route becomes the subject Of any diplomatic
opinion How singulary well do their movements
square with those of other British agents on this
continent And then there is Mr.. Chat6eld, who
is really ubiquitous in Central America, using al
most kingly power in his edicts, and playing con-
tinually the part Of Viceroy to the King of Mos
quita Everything he does is perfectly right, even
if power "nearer the throne" laughing in his
sleeve, does think him to be, times, "a little
too go-ahead." Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, planted
at Washington, observes all, battles all, and con-
trols all-even own government, Congress, and
all alike. Whatever is done by the British agents
in Mexico or in Central America, he ratifes; and
whenever counsel and advice are wanted he has q
fund upon which to draw, as broad and comprehen
siye as Lord Palmerston himself. Thus far he has
kept our government quiet in spite Of the Clayton
treaty. though the English still hold possession OF
San Juan de Nicaragua now, it is said, known on
English maps as Greytown, of Great Britain In
that port Americans are disarmea, curfew regu-
lation is enforced and other of arbitrary power
are pc petrated in direct defiance Of right, and hos
tility to the natural and long established privileges
of the republic of Nicaragua-a country with
which We have pretended to be on the most friendly
relations
Such being the plain position Of affairs in Central
America and Mexico-such being the the pertina-
cious zeal Of British agents-the question is daily
becoming more frequent and clamorous-" What
will Mr.. Fillmore and his cabinet do!' Are the
American people to permit the Monroe doctrine of
non-intervention by foreign nations in the affairs of
this continent to be expunged from the policy of the
country Are we to the seeds of future trouble
if not of a sanguinary conflict, by allowing Great
Britain to establish her empire, as she did in lndia
ON this continent, and among the republics from
which our country is yet to derive no little of the
power which will be necessary to her existence
We wait for Standardization. Meantime,
we call attention to very important communica-
ton from Washington, describing the exact posi-
ton and policy of the present cabinet in relation to
these interesting matters.
