All Of the private expeditions raised for the
invasion and conquest of neighboring Territories

after spreading death and desolaton amid the
people against whom they were directed have
Brought confusion and overthrow on their own
misguided leaders and followers The first inva
sion of Cuba by few Adventures Just released
from the service OF the United States in the Mex
lean war met with bloody repulse upon its first
landing on the shores of Cardenas' NEXT fol-
lowed the more portentOu1, and for that reason
only the more calamitous, foray of Lopez. whose
tate would seem to have been, so far as Cuba is
concerned, not without Its significant warning to
all who may be presumed still to share the aspf-
Iations which guided that unfortunate chicftain.
Then followed the bloody and abortive invasion
Ivy Walker, OF Lower California; and then the
occupation of Nicaragua by Walker, which, if
less speedy in the ruin il has brought to those
who conducted and sustained it, has none the
less come to nought, and entaled an amount and
degree of suffering upon the parties engaged in
II, and the people oppressed by IL, which can
hardly be taken into account by those who, with
any pretentions to humanity still find il in their
hearts to countenance such unlawful movements
And the fall of Walker in Nicaragua is followed
in quick succession ny the startling intelIioenee
of the capture and condemnation to death Of one
Col. Crabbe and his followers in their effort TO
revolutionize the Mexican province Of Sonora,
where before the French Count Rousset de Boul,
bon met with a no less unfortunate fate i'm a simi

conclude, IN the light of these modern instances
tndl tue business OF nlllDuSterlsm is at best but

that its pursuit is likely to bring little profit to
