Eli Thsyer's speech-Csntral America
to be Yankeeizsd.
The following is an extract from the fa-
nous speech Of Eli Thayer, Of Boston, in
Congress, in favor of Yankeeizing Central
America. We give it, as affording Bos-
ton view of Filibustering: ,.1-., G,9aa.
Sir, have resolution in my pocket,
which ! have been carrying about for days,
waiting patiently for an opportunity to pre-
sent it in this House, instructing the Com
mittee on Territories to report bill organ
izing and opening for settlement the Indian
Territory. Mr.. Chairman, / came to this
conclusion with reluctance, that we must
have the Indian Territory. But necessity
knows no law. We must 60 somewhere.
Something must be opened 10 the descen-
dants of the Pilgrims. Laughter. Why,
sir, Just look at it. We are cramped in be-
tween the Atlantic Ocean and the Rocky
Mountains! The bounding pillows of the
western tide of our emigration are dashing
6ercely against the base Of the Rocky
Mountains. We come now to the obstruc-
tion of the great national barrier. Nothing
is more natural than that this tide should
flow back. Will it flow over towards
Cenada? Not at all. 1t has already begun
10 flow over the "Old Dsminion," laugh
ter, and into other States. Missouri is
almost inundated it. We cannot check
this tide of flowing emigration. You might
as well try to shut out by curtains the light
Of the aurora borealis. Ne such thing can
be accomplished. This progress must be
onward, and we must have territory. We
must have territory; and think it most op-
perfume that the proposition seems to be
before the country to Americanize Central
America. A better time could not be; for,
in addition to the population which we now
have, which is immense, in the Northern
States, as shall show you as l proceed,
this financial pressure in the East, and in
the different nations of Europe, will send
to our shores in the year 1858 net less than
half million Of men. In addition to that,
we have two hundred and fifty thousand
of our population who will change localities
in that time. Then, sir. there are seven
hundred and fifty thousand men TO be pre-
pared for, somewhere, in the year 1858
men enough, sir, to make eight States, il
we only had Territories in which to put
them, and if we only use them economical
ly, Laughter as we are sure to do by this
system of organized emigration.
THE soUTHRogs NOT cRAMPED FOR ROOM.
Mr.. Thayer proceeds to give other rea-
sons in favor Of Americanizing Central A
merica-as to furnish an outlet for .Ameri-
can trade, switch is emphatioally North
ern interest,"" and then proceeds to institute
comparison between the colonizing abili-
ty Of the Northern and Southern States:
Now, sir, l said / was astonished that
gentlemen who come from States bordering
upon the Gulf had advocated this project,
and not the Representatives who come from
Northern States. Let US see the reasons
why the North should be more jealous than
the South in this movement. In the State
Of Massachusetts we have one hundred and
twsnty-seyen people 10 square mile; by
The census Of 1850. In the State of Rhode
Island we have one hundred and twelve to
the square mile, by the same census. In
the State Of Connecticut we have seventy
nine. In the State OF New York we have
sixty-fye. So, you see, 1t was not fiction,
it was not poetry, not stretch Of the imag-
inalion, when told you that the dsscen.
dants of the Pilgrims were in tight place.
Laughter. RI. .,-- mt s.,
But how is it with the States which bor-
der upon the Gulf Look at it and see.----
They have, some Of them, eighty-nine hun.
dredths ofa man to the square mils.--
Laughter. In another one we have one
and the forty-eighth hundrsdth part of a
man to the square mile; and, taking them
altogether we have just about three men to
the square mile in all those States which
border upon the Gulf of Mexico.
Now, sir, it would be folly for me to ar.
que, and there is no kind of reason for sup
posing that these States expect to do any
thing about colonizing Central America
