q The above reveals volume. OF course no
Northern man was permitted to 60 TO Mexico
but Mr.. Gadsden, South Carolinian must
I'll the mission. The object Of consumating
such treaty is two-fold First, to secure the
most Southern route possible for Pacific
Railroad, Ia route conformablo 10 The Resolu-
tons of '9e;) Second to procure new terrific
'ry for more Slave States. The people Of the
country can now see, what kind Of cat lies
concealed in that meal tub. The price is only
s50.O00,000. The South proposes no way
: just now to use it up. except the dOucsur for
Amistad Negroes But if such treaty ia
made. the Northern doughfac es will march
9 up TO the rack and vote the money. They
will be carried along by the loud huzzas oi
"progress,' and manifest destiny" The

will submit TO our dictaton, if you will give

the South and their toadies, as far north as
the 10th parallel of latitude. Now mark the
progress Of "manifeE. destiny" The Sand

, forever, for increase Of army, navy and civi
digntaries. as necessarily must be the case o
carving another slice from Mexico. On tn,
contrary the Sandwich Islands would be O
incalculable value to the maritime interests O
our country. which are essentially Norther
. interests. and would bring daily benefits t
our country. instead Of entsiing endless sI

ing and bullying all who stand in The way c
Mexican annexation, these very men, VIII
ride rough sbod over every administration {

Sandwich Islands. This may seem bold as
ssrtion. But let our readers. just put th
