New Granada from the time of the Colombian Coniode-

Besides verybody-the liberals not excepted-is
WINGED that later Panama must be given up and
for this the question is only TO devise and

do for the government itself TO advocate such ques

ared recruits have been sent to Panama 10 protect

Asmbug for Mr.. ospina knows very well that these two
hundred men none whom has touched gun will
prevent the United States government from SEEING the
kahnus, If such should be deemed cxpedient
The proposition made in February by Mr.. Gonzalez,
high functonary Of the government Of taking steps pre-
paratory 70 getting New Granada admitted into the North
American Union, rather passed silence that
time In Congress few members were against II, good
number in favor and host Of others waiting
ward which side victory would incline.
But present, after several English papers have dis
eussed the question IN earnesi-and some OF them
advised this as the only practicable thng-the politicians
Of this capital have taken bold Of with energy worthy
Of better cause and arc pitching right and left into Mr.
Gonzalez, and, Of course, the Yankees. With regard To
Me- question Of annexation itself the people divided
INTO whites thosc who nearly 20, and blacks and
samboes The former lis favor because they would

privileges Of kicking up election row whenever they

was IN a humorous mood when he penncd the mentioned
circular; for, as New Granada not and never VIII be

lifting her do as at prcsent-,hat IS Iay nothing at all
How long I.gland will be satisfied with tbs s another
question and perhaps not very distant day, New
Granada may be glad To throw Panama IN the arms Of
Uncle SAM tor the purpose OF obtaining nice round
Of money, wherewih 70 sppease the greedincs Of boz
