The message Of the President of tn,
United States is IN some points PARTICULAR,
interesting. The Ostend coniorenc, begin,
to Dear fruits; and manifest destiny to nut
forth Its hands to shake down the dilatory
fruits.
Mexico cannot take care of her vast estate,
the nlted States will constitute itself her
guardian; the wolf will be the defender Of
the sheap-told
costa Rica dares TO do what she pleasas
with her own, the FREQ and enlightened re-
pubic of the North is t. teach her the lesson
which the bullying sehool-bly daily impr,sses
on his 'ag-'what'> yours is mine, but what's
mine Is my oNn.
The United States has boxed on Cuba to
lust after her. Cuba must prostitute hers II
- its en- braces. America wants Cuba to
extend the area of freedom, to open up a new
market for slaves, to ciyiliz, Africa, by bring
Ing is Stas face to fac with Christianity
OF the South; and wanting it Of course must
have it.
The high-minded republic does not steal.
but with one hand on the throat Of the yi-,iu
To be spoiled, it tenders with the OF r-
heap OF dollars. and makes a fair exchan-.c
under pressure.
The old theory that it requires two to
make a bargain. is entirely cxl loded the
system initiated by Mr. Buchanan is much
easier aud >implcrhe is both buyer and seller.
Spain has no desire to SELL what of that shall
50 absurd an obstacle obstruct manifest dcs-
tiny. Cuba objects to be sold to the highest
bidder, like a southern plantation with its
chattelS; what of that, is the area of freedom
and nlssers to be circumscribcd by these i'm
b"cile growers IF sugar and tobacco. The
inhabitants Of Cuba NAV even prefer a sep
arate existence and independence t. a change
