The Mobile Register Of the 30 contains the follow
ing observations in regard to the Presidents pro-
cIamation, as reported by the telegraph:
Our dispatches inform US that the President has
issued his proclamation against any untaptM expe-
dition-in violation of our Neutrality laws-to Cen
tral America. OF course it is the duty Of the Pres
dent to see that the Neutrality Laws are not violated
and to issue his proclamation when advised Of any
movement that may appear to be in violation OF
them. This, however is no indication that he or his
subordinate officers, will interfere with any eXpe-
dtOn that is not yiOatve Of the law, nor do we be-
leYe that President Buchanan is going to throw any
obstacle in the way Of any emgratng movement
from the South to Central America which Is alto
gether regular and free from any visible ntfactl0n OF
law, upon suspicion as to It's Interior design.
SuCh an act would be tyranniGal violence to the
rights of the citizen, which we are sure President
Buchanan is incapable Of
We ardently hope the Registers Interpretation of
the proclamation may prove correct; but we much
fear that the contrary will be the case and that all
expeditions, no matter how clearly legal and regular
in their character will be stopped and the objects Of
their orignatJrs thwarted. We apprehend that the
President is hostile to Gen. Walkers projects-that
he is determined that Central America shall not be
Americanized as Walker desires to ArnericaniZe it
and that he will the tremendous power at his dis
posa to crush out the enterprise. However a
short time will show whether we are right or wrong
in these conclusions, and if we wrong we shall
promptly repair the injustice committed
The language used in the Washington Union of
the Goth is bitterly hostile to the Nicarsguan expe-
dition aud probably indicates the bias Of the Ad,
ministration on the subject Says the Union: " The
policy Of the United States is MOTTO acquire Central
America, or any part Of it, but to open the Isthmus
routes and have them free to all the world Further
along the Union says: An attempt is being made
to connect the Administration of Mr.. Buchanan with
Walker and his gang of ftbustcrs, in the very face
Of the energetic measures adopted short time ago
to suppress aud crush out that miserable counterfeit
Of American enterprise and patriotism" Besides
the associates in the late expedition are stigmatzed
as Walkermarauders and the article winds up by
stating that there is no reason to believe that Mr..
Buchanan will give the least encouragement to
" Walker and his gang Of marauders, whom he has
so recently demolished We are inclined to regard
these revelations as semoftioial, and as they were
put forth day or two before the issuance of the
proclamation alluded to, the editors unquestonaby
knew what was coming, and hence sought to pre-.
pare the public mind for it by putting forth an elab
crate and ably written feeler."
However, the proclamation will be along in two or
three days and then we shall know exactly what the
President has said and be better able to arrive at
accurate Judgment respecting the bearing and scope
of the official document. In the meantime, let the
friends Of Nicaragua wait with all the patience they
can command
