find statement by Judge Meek which we omitted
indeed did not catch at ALL that the President had
stated during the soourn Of Walker here that he re-
garded Walker as lawfully President of Nicaragua as
he himself was Of the United States.s
Merely remarking that meeting, similar in size,
substance and character, To the tremendous popular
demonstration in Mobile, should be gotten up in
New Orleans proceed to spread before our readers
the result Of the deliberations Of the Mobile assem-
blage embodied in the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That we have heard with great gratia.
cation Of the safe arrival at Punta Arenas, Ncara.
who accompanied him that we hail that, event as
the forerunner of the Americanizaton of Nicaragua
securing in the distant future the control of the
great highways Of trade STRENGTHENING the position
new power to the Southern States and that we re-
gard it Ms the imperative duty OF Southern men
especially to aid the movement in every proper form.
Resofred further, That General Walker, having
been elected the 18th of Jaly 1885, under decree
issued BY the then supreme government of Nicaragua
President, must be regarded as the head de jure of
Republic and that such he has heretofore been
| recognized by our Government.
ResolUed further, That the steamer Fashion having
been inspected and examined by the proper author-
ties both in New Orleans and this city and having
obtained her clearance in due form, she had right
to free and unobstructed landing at her port of es
ing her at Punta Arenas by the commander Of the
u s. sloop-ofwar Saratoga, without justification
by the laws of nations, and is only less censurable
than the conduct Of Capt. Davis Of the Navy, when
he forced Governor Walker to captuate to the Costa
Rican forces rev months since.
Resolved further, That the conduct of Capt. Cha.
tard Of the sloop.ofwar Saratoga, at "Greytownn in
claiming to exercise protectorate that place,
and acting as we are constrained to believe in con-
junction with the British Consul, in interfering with
the movements Of General Walker after he had effect
ed landing, was without warrant of law, unbecom-
ing an American officer not authorized, we hope, by
instructions from his Government, and merits con.
demnaton and censure.
Resolred further, That inasmuch as President
Buchanan, in his late message to Congress- and also
in his correspondence with the British Secretary Of
court construed the Clayton-Bulwer treaty Of 1850
as excluding both the United States and Great Bri
tain from occupying, colonizng, or exercising any
dominion over any part Of Central America he is in
the opinion Of this meeting bound to issue the neces
sary orders to our naval officers will etfectuay
prevent the recurrence Of such conduct as that com
mitted by Captain Chatard.
lResoiued further, That we concur in the declara-
ton of Mr. Buchanan in his recent message that the
Clayton Bulwer treaty was violation of the ira
ditional and time honored policy of country" in
regard to the other States of the American CONT
| nent and that in our judgment this Government
should take immediate steps for the abrogation of
said treaty and that the European powers should be
given to understand that the interests of this country
required that they should longer interfere with the
affairs of this continent.
Resoiced further, That we cordially approve Of
the following resolutions pending in the Legisla-
ture of this State and urge their immediate adoption
by that body, viz:
Resolued by the Senate and House Of Represent
sembiy conpened, That this General Assembly do
cordially approve the following declarations Of the
National Democratic Convention held at Cincinnati
in june 1885, in relation to the foreign policy of the
| Federal Government, viz r.I--l2
| "The time has come for the people of the United
States to declare themselves in favor of free and
progressive free trade throughout the world and by
solemn manifestations to place their moral influence
| at the side of their successful example.
| /" That our geographical and political position in
reference to the other States of this continent less
than the interest of our commerce and the develop
ments OF our growing power requires that we should
hold sacred the principles involved in the Monroe
doctrine their bearing and import admit of no mis-
construction; they should be applied with unbending
| ngidity.
q That the great highway which nature, as well as
the assent of the States most Immediately interested
in its maintenance has marked out fer free commu-
| nication between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
constitutes of the most important achievements
realized by the spirit of modern times and the
querable energy of people, That result should be
secured by timely and efficient exerton of the con-
troll which have the right to claim it, and
power on earth should be suffered to impede or clog
its progress by any interference with the relations it
|
ment and the governments of the States within whose
| domnions it lies.
eve can, under no circumstances, surrender our
preponderence in the adjustment of all questions
| arising out of it.''
Resoped further, That this General Assembly
expect the present National Administration to make
every proper effort to ensure ascendancy in the
| Gulf OF Mexico, and to maintain permanent pro-
lection of the great outlets through which are emp
tied into its waters the products raised out of its soil
and the commodities created by the industry of the
people of our western yallies and of the Union at
large.
Resolved further, That in view of SO command
ing an interest that Of an inter-oceanic commun
cation between the opposite shores Of America this
General Assembly cannot but sympathize with the
Liberal Party in Nicaragua in their efforts to regen
crate that portion of the continen-that successful
issue Of those efforts cannot but rebound to the pot
| ical and commercial power of the United States
that there is nothing in constitution and laws, Of
treaty stipuatons to interfere with the right Of in
dvldua citizens OF this country to emgrate to Nicar
aqua, and il they think proper, to aid in the esab
lishment of government of liberal princples-ant
that in the exercise of that right they can carry
with them.
That while this General Assembly would not en-
courage military organizations within the territor,
or jurisdiction of the United States to wage wa
against any friendly power, or sanction any breach
our neutrality laws they assert at the same tme thu
I United States with the intention OF becoming if the,

in doing they should not be subjected to seizure
