The Governments Of Europe do not seem
to profit by experience. For a century past
they have been steadily losing thar hold on
the New World, but they still seek to retain
or regain their footing on this side of the
Ocean History shows that the enterprises
Of the Spanish Government, and the Colo.
MES which they gained in America, and the
gold they sought with such insstiate greed,
operated most disastrously on the Spanish
power and prosperity, and reduced her from
a first rate TO third rate power in Europe.
And finally, after all her wars to obtain pos
session of her Colonies, Cuba is the only one
of any account left her.
The experience Of Portugal was still more
disastrous. France and Holland lost all they
had, at the expense of two or three wars
Great Britain lost all her valuable Colonies
after mourning an enormous public debt, and
those that she still retains. for an uncertain
period, ''cost more than they come to.
All these powers have striven from time to
time to regain their lost possessions in Amer
ita, or to acquire others in their stead. But
thus FAR all their efforts have proved abortiye.
as well as expensive, and humiliatiug, even
down to that one which has just terminated
in the capture Of Maximilian and his army.
The next effort which will be made by Eu
ropean Governments will doubtless have for
its object the control of the Isthmus, and the
possession and monopoly Of the Panama
route. The usurpation Of the Dictatorship
Of New Grenada may have possibly been
stimulated by British intrigue The troubles
resulting from these internal troubles in New
Grenada, together with the pretentons Of the
British IN that section, may lead eventually
TO complications affecting the French ard
English lines Of transportation, and thereby
afford those Governments an excuse for u
combined effort to seize and hold the Panama
route
The interests Of our country are too deeply
iavolved in that route to admit of our look
ing upon the remotest contingency of inter.
ference, with any feeling Of philosophical
liberation whatever If need be our country
would face the world in arms TO maintain the
right Of transit across the Isthmus, as essen.
ual alike to our prosperity, the honor Of oui
Government, and the integrity of our Union.
And il that contest comes, we think it will
be the final effort Of European monarchies to
interfere with the destinies Of the Western
world, and that the last vestge of their power
will be swept from this continent forever.
