The wisdom o, -se great maxim Of WAsHBGros
to avoid oil Interference on our part and repel d.
Interference o. he psrt Of Others, becomes more
evident with no lapse Of time The necessity of
firmly resisting al attempts to inveig's the United

Great Britain in their policy with regard to this
continent, ard most especially 10 the States Of
Central America, is daily more emDhatica'ly de-
monstrsted The United STATES want no such
partnerships no such co operation. The right as
serted By Great Britain to au inter erence with the
Affairs OF Centyal America ia either based on sheer
usurpation, CT on preteccss having no foundation
whatever, or at least zone t-as can sustain claims
