The NEW ERA OF En.DUsrERwM-There are
already signs in various quarters that the flibus-
ter spirit, which has been for some time on the
ebb in this country, and which for year past
has been at slackwater point, Is on the turn, and
we may soon expect to see it set In with strong
food.
The failure Of Congress to confer upon the
President the power necessary to carry out the
policy which he initiated for the suppression Of
filibusterism and the support of an American
policy In the defence of our citizens and our ma
tional interests on the one side and ON the other
the efforts of the European Powers to establish
in power in Mexico and Central America the
anti-liberal party, under political influence I'D
verse to us, have given fresh life to the libuster
circles here, and will soon bring them into active
cooperation with the liberal parties in the seve
raj countries south Of uR The uncomfortable
march of this country is towards expansion, and
that Of Mexico and Central America looks to the
establishment of the true American principle of
selfgovernment. Wisdom counsels that this
tendency on our part should be guided and
controlled by our government, and that
shall not be unwisely stimulated by pri-
vate adventures When, therefore, the two
causes we have cited operate in conjunction,
it is no wonder that the active and intelligent
minds which belong to the flibuster school
should be at once brought into action.
The coming spring and summer will witness
migratory movement into Arizona, and towards
the northern plains of Mexico, that will astonish
the wiseacres, who never see what is going on
around them until the work has been DONE
Peaceful in its present aspect, it is enrolling in
its ranks large number of young and adventu-
rous spirits, burning to achieve sudden fame and
fortune, and all of whom partake of the military
spirit and love of dashing enterprise that mark
the American character. The struggles of the
liberals in Mexico are strongly calculated to en-
list their sympathies, and very little will be
needed to carry them across the frontier. AS
the President has been refused by Congress the
power to act theoretically in defence Of our pri
vate and public interests against the encroach-
ments of the fanatic supporters of church and
army, a popular feeling will soon urge our emil
grants to turn flibusters, and will send them aid
and encouragement after they have done SO.
With these probabilities waiting the solu-
| ton of the Mexican problem, that of
Central America presents very nearly identical
| aspects. The conservatives, as they call them
selves, are in the full sway Of power in Nicara-
gua rejoicing in the sunbeams of European SYM
patty. But the old Leon party is preparing its
plans for revolution, and the outbreak is merely
question of time In view of the difficulties
he has encountered on this side of the isthmus,
where the country has but one inlet, and that
strongly guarded by foreign fleets, Walker is
about taking wing for California, and we may
before long see repeated the landing of the fifty
six on the Pacific shore of Nicaragua. The
agents of the liberals, both in Mexico and Mica
ragua, have long been here endeavoring to raise
means and procure arms, and they now antici-
pate an early success Look out, then, for o
flood tide in the libuster spirit here, and for ac-
| tive times in some Of the Spanish American
