tate, winch Is ultimately to end in the
absorption of the Central American states
by the model Republic. Every phase of
circumstance seems to conspire to the
end. The armies of Europe are either
resting on laurels gained and anxious to
gather more, or painting to wipe out the
disgrace that may have covered them in
some unfortunate conflict. There is a
Jealousies among crowned heads swaying
the sceptre "by the grace of God,' of our
power and promising greatness. The
overshadowing growth and influence of
Republican governmental like ours fills them
with fears for the perpetuity of thrones
and dynasties. Long ago it was foretold
that the success of the "great experiment"
would be an augury of a Republican era
to dawn on the world. Enperors and
Kings tremble, if not for themselves, for
their lineage. The jealousies and fears of
sovereigns are strong auxliaries when
pretext is found to hasten the denouenent.

ing themselves to such degree as to rem

masses. there might be more danger of a
collision between Republicanism and Mon
archy on the Central American question
than there is.
England seems determined to support
the construction given the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty by her own ministers, to retain the
protectorate of the Mosquito coast, and
aid as far as in her power, the Costa Ricans
in their war against the fllibusters. If the
depredations of Walker had not been, and
If it were not more than probable, should
he succeed in establishing Anglo-Saxon
rule in Central America that annexation
must be the next grand act in the political
drama, of which our nation is the principal
character, but little danger might be ap-
pretended of a rupture between England
and the Uni ted States, even with the we'll
known prejudices against us among the
monarehies of Europe. But the almost
certainty that the triumph to Walker will
be nothing but the prelude of another step

States. inaames the envy of enemies to
Republicanisrn, and makes the slightest
cause for war only the more available.
We do not lelieve that hostilities will
break out on the Central American ques-
tion. The commercial interests of Eng
land and America will present strong
barrier tor the protection of peace, and
public sentiment uncorrupted by party

We need, and must have ere long. q
more perfect communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific The Democratic
party always opposed to internal improve
ments, is not less so now, when the ne
cessity ofa National rail road is made ap-
parent. The administration but carries
cut the long established policy of the par
ty, in putting its foot upon any rational
project for the construction of Pacific
Railroad. The construction of such a
work by the government, would require
millions of outlay, besides being contrary
to the precedent and principles of the par
ty in power.
1t is directly in the line of Democratic
precedent and practice, to seize upon any
plausible pretense to wrest portion of
territory from its rightful but imbecile
owners, and attach it to our own. In get
