The falling Republics of Central America will not forever be a temptation, by their weakness, to the attacks of lawless ruffians. The valley of the mighty Amazon, which would grow corn enough to feed a thousand million mouths, must fall at last to those who will force it to yield its treasures. The ships which carry the commerce of America into the Pacific, carry, too, American jus- tice, and American cannon as the preachers of it. The Emperor of Japan supposed, that by Divine right, doing as h...e would with his own, he might close his country against his kind ; that when vessels in distress were driven into his ports, he might seize their crews as slaves, or kill them as unlicensed trespassers. An armed squad- ron, with the star-spangled banner flying, found its way into the Japan waters, and his serene Majesty was instructed that in nature's statute-book there is no right con- ferred on any man to act unrighteously, because it is his pleasure ; that, in their owa time, and by their own means, the upper Powers will compel him, whether he pleases or not, to bring his customs into conformity with wiser usage.
