4 The evils Of bad government, leading to intestine
dissensons local quarTes and civil wars Official cor
ruption and personal decentralization, have never been
more terribly exempifed than in the history for the

of the country have dwinded in proportion, ana the
intelligence and patriotism OF the people nave de-

Had the Central American States been blessed with
wise, enlightened and united government like orl'
own the past fifth Of century, they would now con
stitute great and prosperous nation counting its
population by the million instead Of the hundred
thousand while its domestic and foreign commerce
would be rvalling in magnitude and profit any but
that of the first class countries Of the earth These
are propositions beyond dispute and here is nelan-
choy evidence Of the caamities that disunion, home
comotions and intestine wars invariably inict upon

the earth and weighs the destines of nations in the
palm Of his hand, this state Of things is shortly to
terminate, and peace, stable government and wise
laws are on the eve of taking the place of confusion
instability and wretched laws, modified and altered
at tic caprice Of every petty tyrant clothed with
I power for the time being by a temporary triumph
over another equally petty adventurer. Nicaragua
has stable government and is thriving under the
