Central America when the fact her in the face
that Great Britain actually is in possession Of much
dominion, is preposterous 1t is IN anomaly which
the people of this country will not endure. II there
be anything in the treaty of 1850 that pledges such
state of things, it had better be put end to-
Our secretaries Of state have admitted this in
depreciation; and state paper SO ambiguous as to
mean what party will never assent to, hsd better
be abrogated.
When this is cleared ont of the war there will be
room for q fair understanding with Great Britain as
to Central America. No American secretary Of state
has denied her just rights her Belize territory is
defined in treaties; but every American sdmnistra-
ton has kept steadily in view the manifest destiny
Of this Union which is to exercise q paramount po
litica control over this Central American REGION
Its policy is purely political 1t is not to endeavor
to monopolize any national highwsy of commerce;
not to seize any commercial advantage to herself
which she is not ready to grant to other nations
but is to look to her political selfpreservation.
While thus boldly maintaining our own policy
substantially the Monroe policy-there need be no
desire Of severng the amicable relations that exist
between this country and Great Britain. The cords
between the two countries growing more numer-
Gus every day. and often even in British expressions
OF opinion is seen the sentiment that while England
will expand in one direction, the east, the United
States must be allowed to expand in another direc-
tion, in the west There is truth in this, and such
is the fair Interpretation Of much Of the liberal
course Of Lord Napier. II he represents British
public opinion there will be interruption Of friend
ly feeling from the abrogaton Of the Clayton Bull
wer treaty. And so welded are the two countries
by attachment to liberal ideas and profitable com.
morce, that there is every inducement for them to
cherish friendly relations"
