the history Of Central America = few years hence

Mexico those rich mineral districts which she has
failed to turn to the wide worlds account. She
might have grasped the commercial facilities of
New Granada, and have determined to clutch the
riches of the valleys which separate the Andes
from the Silla of Carraccus. But they made no
such attempts. Their present defence!ess condi-

they will assuredly be the last people on earth to
allow any European Power TO assault the weaker
States of the Continent they inbabit. To this We
may make up our minds, and if England is about TO

"If the dispute with the United States should, by
possibility, lead to hOstlities, Canada will be inva-
