A New AngIO-American Republic in Gen.
fraI America..Wh hats in the Wind


We understand that an expedition OF Americans
IS about to start from Texas and other parts to eS
tablish republic in the territory purchased IN the
Musauito country. 1t is said the purchase covers
some tweny five millions of acres. The purpose Is
to bring in, also, the town of San Juan, or Grey
town, by the consent and corporation OF the au-
thorities. From the character of the gentlemen
engaged in this enterprise we should anticipate a
brilliant future not only for the territory question,
but for all the Central American States. Tins may
be the leaven that will leaven The whole lump, and
give vigorous government to the feeble and disor-
organized population of that part OF the world
! We are Informed that the celebrated Col. Kin
ney, of Kinney's Ranch, now Corpus Christi, who
is SO well known to the American people for his
enterprising character--for the prominent part he
took in the revolution of Texas, and IN tire late
war with Mexco-is to lead the expedition, and TO
| be the President of the new republic. This looks
well for the enterprise. Such a man-whO has
made his mark wherever he has been, and IN what
ever he has undertaken-is not likely to fail. VIII
the people of Central America understand what Is
smanifest destiny" and what Is for the good oi
their States?
