Every information which reaches this country from
Central America appears strongly TO confirm the opinion
which many people in England and in the United States
have never hesated to express that the descendants of

neighbor, that its inhabitants would have firmly and
steadily pursued those paths Of peace and domestic i'm

rule OF the United States Infinitely better governed
