This truly great monarch when confined In the State
prison OF Ham by Louis Philippe be- anne welded 70 the

and signed contract TO accomplish that g> at undertak
ing agreeing TO expend himself personally that import
ant work seventy five millions ofrancs He about the
same time wrote pamphlet which bears has gnature,
and from that document very ideas can formed
OF the motives which governed him in establs,g the
Emperor Macmillan In Mexico He then recorded 'the
geographical position OF Constantnople is such rem
dered her the queen OF the ancient world occupying as
she does the central point between Europe, Asia ano
Africa she would become the entrepg Of the
OF all countries, and obtain over them immense pre-
ponderance for in politics as in strategy acentral posi-
tion always commands the circumference
This Is what the proud city Of Constantine could be-
and this is what she is not" because Montesquisu
says God permitted the Turks should exist earth,
people the most 1T to possess uselessy great empire
There exists In the New World State as admirably
Situated as Constannople and TO the present time as
uselessiy occupied-the State OF Nicaragua Az Con-
stantnope Is the centre Of the Ancient World the
town OF hassagua the centre OF the New and If the
tongue OF land which separates its two lakes from the
racine ocean was cut through she would command by

slave Is equal to his MASTER the Asatc the Indian
and the African are equal to the European.

Napoleon his ayorte youthful theory of extending the
commercial unity, emancpating the human family from
slavery and connecting by ship canal the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans: all OF which shall be most happy to
see accomplished and the rvashp OF American citizens
contendlng with the world the new field Of
opened to us by Napoleon the Third and also competing
for the most perfect form of government for the best
interest," happiness and rights Of man. with the govern

II any American citizen doubts the result Of such
contest he has not that spirit which governed Revo
luonary fathers. My mind Is perfectly satisfied with
our national victory, it will be should live It
recorded by the future historian Let show to the
world that the purity and blessings Of democratic
republican institutions such in the United States
