their inordinate desire. But the eases are

Louisiana was indispensable to Our full and
safe enjoyment of an immerse region which
was already Owned, and its acquisition gave
'2 - 60 unquestioned „control of that -noble

"Now, "without any right or any necessity,
it is hard to tell what we do not etaith in all
the emollient south of us, and the adjacent
islands. Cuba - is to be the first fruit of our
grasping enterprise, and that is to be gotten
at all hazards, by peaceful purchase ifs we
ar; by war and conqsmst if we must. But

. Oared (in debate on the Tnirty Million Bill)

. and Caribbean Sea, and make them our 'mare
• ciausam,' like the 'Mediterranean, in old
times, when the Roman Emperor ruled both
i its shores, from the pillars of Hercules to
' the Ilene-spoilt. • This claim of mare nbstrum
implies, of course,- that we must own the

s well as the string of islands that inclose it on
- the eaSt—that is, Mexico", Central Amerina,
and all South America, so far south at least
as the Orinoco. In that wide compass of sea
and land-there are a good many.native goys
ernments and provinces belonging to the
• strongest maritime powers, and a narrow
Ccmtihental isthmus which we ourselves, as
well as England and Fence, are wont to call
the iagliway of nations. - To fulfill thegrand
conception, and perfect Our tropical empire.
we must buy or conquer. all these torrid
_ , countries, and their nsongzel populations.—
As to buying them, it strikes me that we had
. ' better wait a while ,
at least -until the Goy
eminent has ceased to borrow money to pay;
-
its current expenses. Ahd 'as to cOnquering`
them, perhaps it would be prudent to , pause
* and nave d eome estimate of costs and contin
gencies, Ifefore we rush tuts war with all
maritime Europe and half America.
- . "I am not one of these 'who believe that ,
.? the United States is not an independent and
safe nation, because Cuba is not a part of it.

capable of self defense, even if the Queen of

'' The President, the ostensible head of the

of your office. • In your Report, as published

that there ire in this .coiinty three hundred

red and seventy persons who have received
from the County Superintendent a license to
teach school, you report only 'Trey "qualifi

ceived license
,to teach 1 Is it your duty to
give license 'to unqualified teachers
tees are iu the habit of thinking that any per

County Superintendent is "qualified",. tai
teach a common district school, and in' tbs
choice of teachers they have, been governed
by that , idia. They are tistOnished to heath
, from s o ur report, that a certificate from, you
is.no assurance of the bearer's- conmetency,
that it is no assurance ,that he or she. is
"qualified." Indeed, it is rather an evidence
that - he is;' unfit" to teach school, for out pf
the three hundred and twenty teachers whom
you have unhesitatingly set down as
you report. one hundred and. forty
"unfit." , According to ydur report you
have keeased fifty qualified, and three hund
