Citizens of the United States have undertaken the connection of the two oceans by means of a railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, under grants of the Mexican Government to a citizen of that Republic.
The road to Holland might still be opened, and the destiny of the republic might hang on the consequences of a single false move. That destiny, under God, was in his hands alone, and no chance of winning laurels, even from his greatest rival's head, could induce him to shrink from the path of duty, however obscure it might seem.
"For you, the stern republican, I know that he lost all his value, when from the first citizen of a Republic he became an emperor. "I cursed his weakness," said Father Simon, sadly; "the demi-god sank into a man."
He pleads, as a poor exile, before the people of this great Republic, his country's wrongs and its intimate connection with the fate of the European continent, and, in the boldness of a just cause, claims that the principles of the Christian religion be raised to a law of nations.

Ambition and patriotism alike, as well as my own Catholic faith and sympathies, induce me to address myself primarily to Catholics.
