In this change the government's altered front towards the extension of slavery was a fundamental factor. But, be- yond this, the people of the United States, who had been accustomed to point to the revolutions in Spanish | America as proof of unfitness and in- competency for self-governiment, sud- denly learned that no . country was exempt. from thé possibility of inter- nal disturbance.

Rev- olutions constantly broke out, and dic- tators rose to power whose acts seemed- to falsify the dreams patriots had cherished of liberty and frater- nity. In 1846, the war between the United States and Mexico occurred. This conflict and the absorption . of Mexican territory by which it was followed produced towards the United States, throughout all Spanish Amer- ica, a feeling of distrust, the extent and depth of which have perhaps never been adequately appreciated in this country. There was eéreated a sense of insecurity, which was great- 1y intensified by the numerous filibus- tering expeditions that set out from the United States for Mexico and Central America during the fifth decade of the last céntury; nor was this feeling of apprehension allayed by the recommendations made to the Congress of the United States just prior to our Civil War for the occu- pation of Northern Mexico.

The delegates, said Mr. Moore, .were to bring ‘forward the proposition 'to abolish war - against private property and non-combatants upon the ocean; and, if this were not réadily adopted, they were to propose that free ships should make free goods and that enemy ships should make enemy goods. Mr. Moore reviewed in detail other plans for the participation of the United States, and then told of the opposition which arose in congress, largely over the question of slavery, delaying the departure of the pleni- potentiaries so long that, when they finally appeared at Panama, the con- gress there had adjourned. “Meanwhile, the relations between ‘the United States and the American Countries of Spanish origin became 25 to jusflfi' ‘the benel that the con- iof the New World, of jnld compose a part, in . of Hurope.” sted’ that the in''an inde- ca a great ag- t.viey Clay ce- 'ow, - selfish, and untrue,’ On _ou the pros- m of which ~ the ate: has dome all sibldfo-defeat that, when in shpnhl be at war, the sould, ‘engross . .almost itionof the Span- ..~ Nay, more,; T8 With yet greater and unhesitatingly *gedipect of ‘Buro- ts of in-
