CENTRAL AMERICA.

The political condition of The narrow
[sthmus of Central America through
which transit routes pass, between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans presents sub
ject Of deep interest to all commercial ma
lions. 1t is over these transits that a
large proportion Of The trade aud travel
between the European AMI Asiatic CONT
nents is destined to pass. To the United
State these routes are of incaculable i'm
portance, as a means of communication
between the Atlantic and Pacific posses
sons.
The latter now extend throughout sew
enteen degrees of latitude on the Pacific
coast, embracing the important State of
California and the hour;shingss lie rtor.es of
Oregon and Washington. All commercial
nations, therefore, have deep and direct
interest tuat these communications shall be
rendered secure from interruption. If an
arm of the sea, connecting the two oceans,
penetrated through Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA, it conld not be pretended that these
States woul! have the right to arrest and
retard its navigation, to the injury of 9th
er nations. The transit by land over
this narrow isthmus occupies nearly the
same position. 1t is a highway in which
they themselves have little interest, when
compared with the vast interests of the
rest of the world. Whilst their rights of
,overeigntv ought to be respected it is
the duty of other nations to require that
this important passage shall not be inter-
rupted by the civil wars and revolutionary
outbreaks which have SO frequently occur
led in that region.
The stake is too important to be left
at the mercy of rival companies claiming
to hold connecting contracts with Nicar
aqua. The commerce of other nations is
not to stand still and await the adjust
ment of such petty controversies. The
government Of the United States expect
no more than this, and they will not be
satisfied with less. They would not, if
they could, derive any advantage from the
! Nicaragua transit not common to the
rest of the world. It's neutrality and pro-
lection for the common use of all nations,
| is their only object. They have no OBJ
jections that Nicaragua shall demand and
receive fair compensation from the com
Ipanies and individuals who traverse the
route; but they insist that It shall never
hereafter be closed BY san arbitrary decree
of that government. If dispute arise be
tween it and those with whom they may
have entered into contracts, these NAV be
adjusted by some fair tribusal provided fo
the purpose, and the route must not be
Iclosed pending the eontrov ersy. This j.
our whole policy. and it cannot fail to be
acceptable TO other nations.

be established over the republic, there i,
no reason to hope that they will be ami
mated by less unfriendly spirit, and
grant that redress to American citizens
which justice reqnires, SO far as they may
possess the means.
But for this expectation, | should al
once have recommended to Congress to
grant the necessary power to the Presl
dent, to take possession of a sufficient por-
ition of the remote and unsettled territory
of Mexico, to be held in pledge until oar
injuries shall be redressed and our just
demands be satisfied We have already
Exhausted every milder means of obtain
ing justice. In such case, this remedy
Of reprisals is recognized by the law of ma
tons, not only as just to itself, but as a
mears of preventing actual loss.
A PRoTECroRATE ADVISED.
But theirs is another view of our rela-
tons with Mexico, arising,,from the unhap-
lpy condition of affairs along our South
western frontiers, which demand imme-
date action. In that remote region
where there are but few whi.s inhabitants,
large bands of hostile and predatory In
dams roam promiscuosly over the Mexican
States of Chihauhau and Sonora and our
adjoining Territories. The local govern
ment Of these States are perfectly helpless,
and are kept in state of alarm by the
Indians. They have not the power, if
they possessed the will, even to restrain
lawless Mexicans from passing the borders
and committing depredations on our re-
mote settlers. A state of anarchy and
violence prevails throughout that distant
frontier. The laws are dead letter,
and life and property are both insecure
For this reason the settlement of A il mia
is arrested, whilst it is of no great impor-
lance that a chain of inhabitants should
extend all along its southern borders, suf-
fcient for their own protection and that
of the United States mail passing to AMI
from California.
Well TO nded apprehensions are now
entertained, that the Indians, and wan
dering Mexicans equally lawless, may
br eak upon tho important stage and post
Ial communications recently established
between our Atlantic and Pacific posses
sious. This passes very near to the Mex
lean boundary, throughout the whole
length of Arizona. can imagine no pos
sible remedy for these evils, and no mode
of restoring law and order on that remote
and unsettled frontier, but for the govern
ment of the United States to assume a
temporary protecterate over the northern
portions Of ChihauIlau and Sonora and to
establish military posts within the same ;
and this is earnestly recommended to Con
gress. This protection may be VIII drawn
as soon as local governments can be estab-
ished in these Mexican States, capable Of
performing their duties to the United
States, restraining the lawless and pre-
serving peace.
do not doubt that the measure will
be viewed in friendly spirit by The gov
ernment and people of Chihauhan aud
Sonora, as it will prove equally elfoctual
for the protection Of the citizens Of that
and lawless frontier, as for the CIT
liens of the United States.

TILE FINANCIAL REVISION.

When congress met in December last.
| the business of the country had been
crushed by one of those PORTO heal revul.
~ions, which are the IN yitable consequen
ces Of our unsound and extfayagant sys
TEN Of bank credits and inflated curren-
CIV. With all the elements of national wealth
aud abundance, our manufactures were
suspended, and oars useful public and pr
vate enterprises and thousands of laborers
were deprived of employment and reduced
to want, and universal distress prevailed
among the commercial, manufacturing
and mechanical classes. Our manufactu-
rers evrywhere suffered severely, not be-
cause of the recent reduction of the tariff
Of duties on imports, bit because there
was no demand at any price for their pro
auctions The people were obliged to re-
strict themselves in their purchases to ar
ticles of prime necessity. In the general
prostration Of business, the iron manufac-
tories in different states probably suffered
more than any other class, and much des-
titution was the inevitable consequence
Among the number of workmen who had
been employed in this useful branch of IN
dustry, there could be no supply where
there was no demand.
To present an example, there could be
no demand for railroad iron after our nun
ificent system of railroads, extending its
benefits to every portion Of the Union, had
been brouget TO a dead pause. The same
consequences have resulted from similar
causes to many other useful branches of
manufactures. No government, and es-
pecialy government Of such limited pow
ers as that of the United States, could
have prevented such revulsion. The
whole commercial world seems TO have
been rushing to this catastrophe. The
same ruinous consequences would have fol-
lowed in the United States whether the
duties on foreign imports had remained
the same as they were under the tariff of
lS49, or had been raised to a much high
er standard The tariff of 1857 had no
agency in the result The general cause
existing throughout the world could not
not have been controlled by the legislation
of any particular country, but the effects Ct
the revision are now slowly but surely
passing away. The energy and enterprise
of our citizens, with our unbounded re-
sources, will, within another wear, restore
a state of wholesome industry and trade. =
Capita has again accumulated in our large
cities, the rate Of interest is there very low,
confidence is gradually reviving, and as
soon as it is discovered that this capital
can be proitably employee! in commercial
and manufacturing enterprises, and in con
struction of railroads, and other works Of
public and private improvements, prosper
ity will again smile throughout the land
1t is in vain, however, to disguise the fact
from ourselves, that a speculative initiation
in other countries, whose manufacture s
come into competition with our own, must
ever produce disastrous consequences to
our domestic manufactures. No tariff short
Of absolute prohibition can prevent these
evil consequences.
