All things tend 10 the reopening Of the slave

taken at Punta Arenas, neither can freshly.im-

these same buccaneers become slave drivers, they

A tempOrizing President, elected by the South,
must yield to the South; and the South now believes
that they have man who will not only aid them in
the extension Of slave territory, but will provide
the necessary stimulus and motive for converting

The South, at present represented by Walker "a
it's true exponent, will insult the Administration BY
demanding to be replaced-in the person Of the
huccsneer and his bloodhounds-upon Ncaraguan

the Federal Government.

About the middle of the eighteenth century,
party Of English slave owners from Jamaica made
settlement at Black River, with their negroes, On
the MOSQUITO shore. This settlement WAS not far
below Truxillo, on the coastOf the Caribbean. The
colonists erected fort, with twelve pieces OF
artillery, and considered themselves secure under
the protection Of the mother country.
Settlements at Blewfelds, San Juan and other
places the names of which have escaped me, were
established upon the sites Of the Old buccaneer villa

From the year 1740," says SIr. Squier, Great
Britain had exercised absolute dominion over the
"Mosquito shore" and great were the regrets and
lamentations of the Colonial Government on being
compelled to abandon so fine territory.
