Jj Central America is divided iuto States j . auJ governed each by distinct Presidents, to wit: Guutemala,San Salvador, Honduras, Costa Ilica, Nicaragua, and Mosquito ; neither of the above Governments being stable for any length of time. , It will be remembered that in .Tune 1855, Wm. Walker, a native of Tennessee, but residing in Calafornia, was iuvited to t'e '>r' shores of Nicaragua by the liberals of that Republic. Said Republic was til en in a state of civil war, growing from two divisions or factions, servile and liberal, who were each struggling for the mastery. The IJistory of Central America, will bear jnc out in the asset lion, that her government has never been stable since her dismemberment from Spanish Ru'u, that she has ever bean engaged in strife, contending factions springing lip,attempting to usurp her powers. How could it be otherwise with a mixed Race of Indians, Spaniards and foreigners of every hue and clime, a heterogeneous mass of ignorance and selfishness. Walker, the young, uoia ana aarmg adventurer, struck I with the idea of making Nicaiugua n free ] and independent Government and placing it upon a basis similar to that of the United Htates.nt once gathered a party of 40 or 60 \ men and landed on Iter shore. \V1 lie was hailud by the native liberals and ? given nn important punt, nnd alter severs struggling nnd hard lighting, secured for , his party and his adopted country their in dependence, w hich independence appears to P ' have been recognised by the United States ? Government, in Nov. 1865, by the recogni- ' tion of their minister Padre Vigil the Representative of the Walker Rivus Govern mcnt for the Republic of Nicaragua, which ' was the only Government defa<*io, then in existence in that Slate. Rivns being declared President for a specific time, resigns and throws tiie election to the people. Walker was then chosen President by over a two ha thirds vote, from which Rivas turns traitur no and forms an alliance with the sister States M of Nicaragua to break down her Republic n? and strike out h<-r individuality, divide her su Territory and distribute it equally among wi them. Having men nnd means, they are tci now making a powerful attempt to overthrow co thai Government and confiscate her Territory. England, who is ever watchful and jenl- ( ous of American power nnd fearful of Re- ? publican forms of government becoming pop- ^ ulur, sallies lorlli touid the Allies by secret | munitions and means to crush at once the j young Republic, and drive Americans from the soil chosen by them for their future S.R homes. She cries protection to Iiritish subjects and gives this as a reason for her interference. iS> And at this crisis of affairs, what is the United States Government doing? folding j. | her arms as the sluggard? No, worse! censing to hold further communications witn the Republic cf Nicaragua, withdraw- I in? l>? \t ? t ?> 1 ' * ' uva uuuiaici IIUIII IIIVIICC UI|U Cl'nSlIlg lO j^, acknowledge her independence and leaving her own citizens unprotected in a foreign . country, w'hero not only hostility is shown, ow hut actual brrbaritv practiced upon thorn- ^ Did any country ever prove so recreant to S(> her citizens ?

However, as matters stand si with pur present milk and water foreign \ h policy, in fact ooq-acling and imbecile, and h the stretching onl of QUf Neutrality laws |. like lodia Rubber strands, nothing can be r< achieved.
