the proect--upon which sensible conclusion we con
gru:ulac him, although it cost him the alliance Of
senor Domingo ds Gocouria. Ii Walker will b.
content with the regeneration of Central America,
the egitimacy of his rule will be forgotten in ;s

But we have the testimony Of his own declaration.

forces on the coast Of Nicaragua
There is no danger ,hst Walker will realize hi
brilliant dream OF empire, and this country need

the confession of the design will justify our poop
in regarding Walkers enterprise with something let
of sympathy and applause.
These developments of Walkers plans have bee

proof Of a conspiracy to sever the Union, and TO e.
