their adhcrents, whose principles, howcv
err elastic and comprehensive in their work
ing, are unity in idea, and rcvolve upor
the one cardinal point, success. Like tn,
crab, they work backward into unexplorec
regions OF destiny leaving the fertile path,
and sunny glades Of peaceful progress
They will have none of these, becaus,
they impose the restraints necessary to the
existence Of all true civilization and rea
progress, but turning in disdain from the
plainest duties Of social organization, they
cast their wishful eyes into regions where
ambition will justify any means to success
and success, in turn, shall legalize the
worst outrages perpetrated in behalf Of
ambition
What plea can any right-minded Amer
lean set up, 1ith any pretence of right
for the outrages now being committed III
Nicaragua. Have we no lands unculti
waited: Is our soil so poor and inporer-
i4hed that it viii not afford equal susie
nance to the cultivator with any land On
this contencnt' Are our mineral resour-
ces exhausted, or fallen below those of any
other country in value' Is there any 9th
er country in the world where labor will
find better compensation than in our own;
Is our State so well developed in her NOR
al, social and industrial condition, that
philanthropy and fervent zeal to elevate
others to our high position, drives US
abroad TO find material for conve sion, /!
not for any or all of these, thon for what
other valid sensible reason is the present
scheme Of flibustering carried on' Have
they been invited, No. Have they even
said, ''good peoplo-by youv leavc:"-
No! Like a set of marauding wolves,
they pounce upon weak detenceless peo-
pie, slaughter few, frighten the many,
and herald a GLORIOUS Victory" And
il you venture 70 demonstrate upon such
unequal and dishonorable proceedings,
they become the virtuous embodiments of
Washington, a La Fayette, or a Boli-
var, and prate of their patriotic effort. to
liberate an enslsved people, and ciyili.e
a semi-barbaric race, as though they were
the anointed Of Republicanism, sent to
preach the gospel of good government and
democratic principles to all the world =
They, the bigh-priests in the temple of
liberty, the hope of freedom, the repre-
sentive men of "the land of the free, and
home of the brave;" on whom devolves
the high mission OF libersting the captive
and illustrating The virtues of true liberty
to the cnslavcd subjects Of Ignorance and
vice
What burlesquc upon common sense!
What travestie of the spirit aud morale
of our own incipiency of nationality and
What departure from
the infexible principle of right, on which
our revolutionary fathers based their ap-
peal to candid world in defence of Self
Government! "Look at that picture, aud
then on this,' it is, indeed, an "Hyperion
to a Satyr." These furnished adventur-
ers, who tatten upon the products Of other
mems labor, 100 lazy to work themselves,
they fud in :heir hours OF need and dcscr-
ton, that the world goes wrong, and they,
torsooth, must set it right; but unfortu-
nately for them, the progress OF civilization
in any community deprives them of their
more peculiar modes fgathering the har-
vests sowu by others, and as laws become
better made and better adminete ed, and
working or starving is the alternative, Pat
riotism, the list resource Of loa!ers, takes
full possession OF them, and all who can
successfully clude the grasp Of creditors
and the search of the police, go forth an
army of reform, and the apostles of lber-
ty. We find them now on the route of
popular travel for American citizens, Sell
zing their ammunition and stores, placing
themselves in the passenger boats-con-
verting boat and passenger, with or with
out consent, into materials Of war against
the people through whose country they
are permitted to travel; and oar citizens
find themselves, without their consent or
voluntary participation, involved in con-
flict that results in the loss Of life and
limb, the breaking up Of th If Spyage, and
Illustration Of the plans All h,Jes with
which they set out. Nor is i4;s particu-
lar act of grievance complete, without the
picture of the devoted wife and mother
with her child, murdered by the unholy
ambition of these public marauders, And
these things are suffered by American
Citizens' In the name of Justice, let US
no longer countenance any such outrages
upon American honor, but hold leaders
and abetors in this cowardly foray upon a
weak and ignorant people as objects o!
public indignation, who merit the scorn
and contempt of all good citizens. OF tbs
uses that may be made of their success,
we may have moro to say hcrcaftcr.-S.
