Walkers raids upon Lower California, and then
upon Sonors, were but exempE6cations Of spirit
Of unprincipled adventure and lust Of unearned
gold with which our whole country is deeply in
fected. To myriads Of our young men, it seems
slow business to delve ten or fifteen years for

lovingly mixed up with men who would have been

to look a musket in the face, but who prefer the

doubtless reserved for some more august occasion;
but its scope and spirit may readily be inferred
from the following scntatons of the genius OF bis

Now the President (Rivas) whom Walker
90 caused to be elected in Nicaragua, is leader
in the camp Of the Central Americans, who are
united as one man in opposition to Walker. There
is no longer shadOw of native party in favor Of
Walker-Dot one Nicaraguan of note, and not five
hundred of any sort. Neither COrtez nor Pizarro
was more unequivocally an invader and unwelcome
Intruder in the countries they subjugated than
Walker is. "The liberty of that country" which
Walkers men defending is the liberty fox the
nominal freemen to obey Walkers DEGREES, and for
the slaves to work Soul6s cacao plantation. How
could you expect such "haf Indians, half negroes
and half bullfrogs" as the Nicsraguans to appre-
ciate such liberty" as thisl 1t takes very acute
and sagacious men, like Capt. Rynders, to see any

Quitman's or Gov Wises negroes. We suggest,
therefore, that Capt. R., taking pity on the dense
ignorance which VIGOROUSLY prevails in Central
America, should 20 down thither and make few
Of his speeches. taking along detachment Of
"the boys" to DO up the cheering, in which the
half bufrogs" could net be expected to evince
great alacrity or energy at the outset. Now that
Buchanan is so gorousy ele' tied, we feel confident
that the Captain could be spared few weeks BY
our city, and any insurance Office familiar with the
excellent care he takes Of his precious life weuld in

And any expedition into which the valiant Captain
should throw himself might be considered toerably
safe from bullets while he directed its operations,
ard from drowning at all events
But of all those who talked so loudly Of our duty
to help "our suffering countryuen in Nicaragua,
only Gen. Wheat, who belongs to the clan, talked
of going personally to their rescue. Col Burnett,
who presided, avowed that he had heard enough to
induce him to take the field, "f l had not family
