According to eur yesterdays Geographic
advises from Washington, the Executive govern
ment were about to lay before the Senate a new
american affairs As far as it's stipulations have
been disclosed, this treaty seems to be nothing
more than a sort OF appendix to the Clayton
'Bulwer Convention We had supposed that the
complications and agitations occasioned by this
Clay ton. Bulwer concern were tending to the
complete abrogation of all such entangling
alliances and that the settlement OF the material
difficulties on Central American affairs, lately
pending between England and the United States,
had been substantially accomplished in the re
cent diplomatic arrangements between Honduras
and the British government 1t may be, how
ever, that the new English treaty of Mr.. Dallas
is bat an elaboration of the said arrangements
with Honduras, ia the fern of a specific agree
ment 10 them as between England and the
United States.
III any event. whether this new treaty shall
prove 10 be nothing mere than the old treaty re-
vamped and hal-soled, like a second hand pair OF
boots, or whether il shall turn out more COM
-
a copar sneIship between the English government
ana our own, tor the protection OF the feeble
States Of Central America against the encreach-
ing propensitiCs OF both John Buli and Brother
Jonathan, we apprchend il viii prove itself no
thing more than diplomatic Holy Alliance a6or
ton in the end We never shall realize anything
but deception and over reaching trickery from
any such copastnership With England. The Clay
n-Bulwer experiment has given US abundant
evidence upon this point, Our experience has
been quite sufficient here TO demand an absolute
diss olution OF the copartnershp and perfectly
Independent system OF relations between this
country and the Central American States There
is something OF confessed weakness on our part,
and something Of humiliation, in this pinning our
Central American policy like tail TO the Eng
lish kite. We trust, therefore, that the Senate
will reject This new and joint stock treaty with
England, whatever it mag be, and give the re-
CURED notice for putting en- end TO the Clayton
Bu,wer concern so that we may stand wholly
independent OF England in reference to the Cen
ttal American States.
The true North American policy in Central
America is the successful British expedient of
the Eas India Company. That Company, from
a small commercial establishment ION military
principles" has grown into On empire, in CON-
me5cal military and political Importance. In
rera4n in imperio, an empire in the shape of an
English commercial company, it affords the
swiffest readiest and most Elective plan for the
developement ef the vast commercial resources of
Central America and for the supremacy Of our
American commerce in both oceans, without
either the endorsements Of foreign wars or d.
plomatie squabbles with European Powers on
our part. The crude materials required for
a great Mex York Central American Company
exist in any quantity. All that is wanted is the
chemical process Of crystalization. Jne gold
mines OF California and Australia end the ire
mepdous impetus which they have given to the
commercial and emigration movements of the
world, have rendered those isthmus portases be-
ween the Atlantic end Pacific from 1ehuan.epec
to Panama of the very highest moment to our
Pacific and Gulf trade, and to the integrity of
cur Pacific possessions. And this suggested New
York Central American Company, on the general
plan OF the British Ea; India Company, would
gSse u in Central America all the advantages Ct
sovereign jurisdiction, without either the expenses
Of war Of conquest, the delays Of slow nego-
tistiCns or the tfickeries Of English copartner-
ships.
We say that the materials exist sufficient for
III organization at once OF . New York CONSOLE
dated company competent for the immediate sub
iugaton, occupation aud political and CONNER
cial control 81 The whole Of that isthmus region
e,'erd.ug from Tchuantepcc down TO Panama
We Include Tehuanteptc and Panama because Of
'hoto important podsges, and becau-e in the
movcmcrt oudef consideration the reduction Of
Spanish American State or two more or less is
q trivial circumstance The materials we speak
% are In the hands Al the Vanderbilt Steamship
Company. the George Law Steamship Company
and the Morgan 4 Ganilon Company. The uuion
