"wbich. on the complete restoration Of peace and
" the dbbandiDg of the army, will be attracted to
.ethe cultivation Of sugar, rice and grain, and the
development of the commercial portion OF the
"istbmus and its relations to our own California
trade"
Such are the deusive representations under
which it is attempted to induce the Investment OF
money in Nicaragua and the emigration thtber OF
thrifty and industrious persons dssirous of finding
a field for The exercise OF their labor. We care
little bow many miserable, dsreputsble vagabond',
useless themselves and burden to this community,
are induced, by the false representations Of the fill
clustering agents, to 20 to Nicaragua to die OF the
yellow fever; but we do protest against these at.
temp's 20 induce sober, industrious men to embark
their labor ard capital in an undertaking from
which nobody will profit except the owners of steam
beats employ I'd in their transportation, and which
il sure to result in pecuniary ruin and probably, too,
in the loss of health if not of life, to all who are
entrapped by these false representations.
AS to the complete restoration of peac' and the
" disbandneAt of the army" that is thing which
never can happen 20 long as Walker remains in the
country. Suppose him ever so successful in maln'
ing his rule and extending it over the other Prov
pces of Central America, that can only be done BY
keeping on foot filbustering army. The only
means to support that army living at free quar-
teys snd forced loans. The only way 10 keep the
Iatiyes down is to suppress them by violence and
terror The nature of General Walkers rule in
Nicaragua is distinctly enough indicated in the fol-
loving paragraph from his own organ, FL Nicard-
gutnse, Of May IA:
"1le general, having wisely concluded that the
enemies Of peace and their own country shan
furnish their iU quota of support TO those wao are en-
Ce6yoig TO establish the prosperity and peace OF the
State upon a sO0 bas, th re has been lately no want
of wholesome food for our men, and consequently no
umuring j. heard on account OF empty stomachs anu
bard fare The steamer Virgin has been plyng ior
several days between this pot and Ometopee, whence
we have received provisions, horses ana cattle and
few subjects for tight-rope Performances, unless
they can prove themselves nnoceLt OF the charges
preftred against them"
Such is the nature of Walkers rule in Nicaragua.
He supports his forces by plunder, ard those who
murmur at his extortioLs he hangs. To talk, un-
der such circumstance about peace, quiet, indus
trOus pursuits, and the disbandment of the army,
is absurd. The moment Walkers army is dis
banded his rule and that of the libusters is at an
end. Yet row that army is to be kept together
even though no resistance be encountered on the
part of the natives, it is difficult to see. No
army can be kept On foot without pay; aud but a
shadow of pay has one of Walkers men received
siLce they enlisted into his service. The
country itself is totally destitute of revenue
or any means Of raising money in any regular way
Even the richest inhabitants have no money, and
in what way the fllbusteriDg army is to be paid is
not apparent The fllibusters have engaged in this
enterprise under the idea that they were on the
high road TO wealth 1t is not to be expected that
they will long submit to accept the mere glory OF
serving under General Walker as their sole recon-
pense or will keep themselves organized fer the
sake of patrotcally serving at their own charges
as cover to others who are engaged in c0lonzing
the country
Even under the most favorable circumstances,
the emigration of North Americans to Nicaragua
for the sake of cultivating "sugar, rice and
gTain," would be most unpromisins undertaking.
TIE same money and the same labor invested in
either of these branches of industry might be
relied upon to produce far greater return in the
United States than in Nicaragua. But when we
consider that such enterprises there, in addition to
the unheathpess of the climate and other draw
backs, must be burdened with their share Of the
expenses of supporting standing army OF fllibus-
ters and be liable to their proportion Of occasional
forced loans We trust that anybody who has money
or labor to invest will think twice before entering
into sny such enterprise.
