The Cause of Nicaragua.

The glorious cause of Nicarasuan redemp- ton is not abandoned, and never will be as long as there are hearts to feel and minds to know the great aims of mans true destiny. It Is now believed that this land, in which so many and such great and important interests are cen tered, will very soon fall into the hands of that power which most boldly and stro glv con- tends for t. It cannot longer remain under the dominion of miserable, semi-civized in- habitAnts. The inferior race muss yield to the stronger, and the ripe fruit will be pucked either by American or English hands. We must either have control of the whole of Gen. tral America or surrender it entirely to those who are commercially hostile to our interests. he recent triumph of the Costa Ricalls virtu- ally invests England with the control of that country-irom whom, it is universally conced- ed they have received material aid and encou- ragemeut; for without her assistance they could not have succeeded in their conflict with Walker. That England had a motive in rendering this aid is very plain, and it is all easily understood. Nicaragua it is known is under the control of Costa Rica and it is be- lleyed and asserted by those who have watch ed the course of things in that region that Costa Rica is in the hands of England Hence it Is correctly concluded that while Costa Rica holds possession of Nicaragua it is in fact in the possession of England. And thus we find that every attempt we have made since the date of the Clayton-B ulwer treaty to ne- Gociate Central America free from the rule of g English domination is simply fruitess. But the Nicaraguans are beginning to hate the tyranny of the Costa Rican yoke and they on- ly want the aid of such spirit as Walker to Cast 1t off. Under this aspect of affairs the sentiment of the American people is strongly Tn favor of the man of destiny," and we are sure they have no patience for further treaties. The consciences of the English are by far too elastic to abide by treaties, and hence they have no hesitancy in violating them whenever they deem it necessary to their own advance mout
 For one, we hope that Walker may be ena- bed to make a speedy return to Central Amer ica with the "Sinews of war" and force su penor to any he has yet had in the prescott tiou of hls important enterprise. The sooner the better; for that mighty influence which con trolS the great destiny of man and teaches his untaught nature to struggle for liberty, has al- ready begun to operate in Central America- The cause of Nicaragua is the cause of hu- manity--the cause of mans high destiny. It Is moral as we'll as a political cause It is that which is destined to revolutionize the world by bringing 1t to an enjoyment of true Eberty-a liberty which, in the full compre- hensiveness of its meaning, is the freedom of the soul. It is this spirit of reformation which is the life of W alker's cause, and it is begin- hing to glance on every land, while tyrants be- gin to feel the hcavings of the mighty wave that must ultimately submerge them beneath the pillows of mans high destiny. Let it move on until the free spirit of mankind every where shall throw of the letters of tyranny, and follow in the example of our own happy proud Republic Curb not its "swftness in the forward race"
