the nicaraguan emigrants or filibusters from mobile may precipitate at any moment a crisis in in the foehn relations of from manit manifestations fe stations that have been given out ican it can hardly be doubted that the british and foreign forces in central america are on the eager lookout f for 0 r excursions of this sort in that directs direction on and that the emigrants may either be in intercepted er by capture before landing 0 or r be pursued on land and arrest ed after embarking dis them the news of event would at once rouse the volunteer feeling in this country to the highest dree degree of excitement our whole southern and eastern coasts would be in in a blaze immen immense e reinforcements would rush from our shores to rescue our countrymen en and sustain our interests in central america collision would ensue be wean fleen these bands and the european forces found in that regi region and the most ln angry g i ry and threatening state of things probably result between our govern ment 4 r and those of great britain france rance and spain 1 I 1 nor could our government itself look calmly upon an ex exercise of fore force by european ean powers forthe for the rep regulation lation of a affairs ai s in the he central portions of our continent it has given abundant earne earnest of its own purpose to repress i illicit excursions from its own shores against the peace of the central american states stales and even overstepped over stepped the limits of eon constitutional and international law in arresting at one one time on the shore and 1 within hin the limits of the local juristic tion there an illegal expedition of this sort but it is hardly probable that it aou would id look with complacency upon an interference on the part of any european pe an power r in mahd the local affairs of central tra I 1 arneri america ca for ahe he purpose of protecting its feeble governments from assaults of our people which we vve have given e every ery proof that iveli il prevent b by y all legal and constitutional means at our command there would arise not merely the ethical question whether the particular act of the foreign goven government were justified in morals but the great political question whether europ european ean governments should be allowed to interfere for the regulation of affairs upon the american continent it is in this view that the otherwise trifling event of the sailing of a few emi emigrants rants from our shores on a professedly fess fes sedly peaceful enterprise really possesses a momentous importance it is is not to be denied that the efforts which have been going on for some time to re cault and embark such an aln expedition has given our government a great deal of annoyance and it is for this reason that it has employed elary means it was clothed with by the law jaw to baffle and defeat the expedition we do not suppose any one fears that if unmolested by third parties the emigrants wo would uld do any very great harm harin to anybody else than themselves in carrying out their project but it was in view view of the serious serious political crisis which they might bring on between our government and european powers if they should be intercepted by european war vessels on their way or arrested by european forces on the territory of nicaragua that these efforts were made by our government it must be confessed that the endeavors of the government to avoid such a crisis crisis as may now be brought or on have not been as fully sustained by public sentiment in the gulf states as it had good reason to expect that they would if there is any region of the union more directly and profoundly interested in the preservation of the peace of the world especially of tho the peace between this country and england and france it is the region c composed of the cotton growing states it is quite natural that louisiana largely interested interest iDd in a sugar monopoly should look with indifference upon war and the suspension of a commerce which brings vast quantities of foreign sugar into competition with hey her own 0 n but it is almost inexplicable that the cotton states of the gulf so far from endeavoring g to repress the filibuster movement should have so openly and actively encouraged it it was the duty of the administration 4 under the imperative requirements of the laws pt standing anding upon our statute books which the cotton states slates have made no effort to repeal to use all lawful lawf lit means in its power ver to repress this movement and added adde d to this imperative mandate of the law there was every thing in the diplomatic aspects of the case to extort from fro in the administration all the exertions exe rations it could put forth to defeat the whole scheme encouraged however in the cotton states the very states which it may affect most suddenly intensely and in injurious furiously urious ly a portion of the expedition has a got off not large enough indeed to effect any ian design it ma may y haqq in central america but large enough to bring about the very political crisis which our government has been deprecating I 1 so continually andio and so anxiously s ay it it to be hoped however that our own naval vessels may yet succeed in in intercepting the fugitive bringing her bade back to our ports and preserving this filibuster question still longer as a purely domestic one in our policy upon the vigilance of ou our r officers in the waters of the gulf may depend in a great measure urethe the peace of the world let us hope that our little fleet in those waters will be fortunate enough signally to illustrate on this occasion the importance of an efficient and patriotic navy to the P reservation preservation of peace
