THE CONTRADICTION.

The telcgraphic intelligence from Washington, in
our issue of yesterday morning, contradicting the
stories of the defeat of the advanced guard of the in
vadng army of Walker on his advance to the over
throw of the Costa Rca lcyes set on foot by the mai
contractors and New York stock obbcrs of the Pana
ma Railroad gave very general satisfaction to orr
readers for although it appeared to many as not al.
together reliable the manner in which il was recev-
ed by the public testified to the kecnncss of the popu
lar ympathics for the course of the daring democratic
adventurers.

armed bandit then we, more loudly than any of our
contemporaries, would denounce them, and call for
speedy vengeance their heads, the more earnestly
inasmuch as we should consider them guilty above
the people ofall other nations, as they, understanding
freedom, right and justice, disregarded them. We
have no fears however, on this head, and We there

the blessings in store for them peace being once
firmly obtained and law and order established where
since the overthrow of the Spanish rule such things
even by name have been unknown and forgotten.

have the honor of being among the first to establish
civilization, enlightened government and true liberty
