Extract from the Circular Letter of the Jion. William Hendricks, Senator in Congress, dated, at Washington, May 13j 18-26; pAxam'A mssioM The question of sending ministers to the Congress of South American Republics assembled at Panama, has been a faithful source of discussion; and of discord, during the greater part of the present session Our Government had been

American cause at that da v. It is so still. In 1822, the Spanish Cort es expressly declared, that they would "regard at any epoch, as a violation of treaties, th- recognition, either partial or ah-
joiute, ol the independence of the Spanish Provinces." Our Government at
that time was not intimidated, but pur
sued its own course. This course has resulted in much political prosperity to
me republics ot the b iuth. We have
not been, as was predicted, involved in
war, on account of our policy then adopted. Tnereis in my opinien, no danger
ot any such at the present time. The Congress of Panama presented an . occasion which should not have been t . . -
passed iy unheeded. The agents of
-Lngland, and in all probability of other European nations, will be at that Congress. It is a theatre worthy of their notice; and shall we fold our arms in indifference, and talk about jeopardizing our peaceful relations with Spain? Is a growing incalculable commerce, with more than twenty millions of people on our own borders, unworthy our attentention? Are the productions of so large a country of the torrid zone, unimportant in the great estimate of our foreign commerce?
I ne revenue drawn from South America, and Mexico, have sustained the
opamsri monarchy tor ages, under the
m5t oppressive and despotic system of
U vrnment. In 130), that revenue in
M -xico, alone, amounted to twenty mil
lions. The three founds of their exports have b 'en, and will no doubt again be the products of their mines; and that country whose merchandize is the precious metals may be s.dd to command the resources of the World. Let the mines of the south be closed against Europe, and in what condition would bo their circulating medium? Where would
ulv jyneuiui rugirino : I alee away our own supplies of the precious metals of the south, and where would be our own paper system? The na-
rural direction ot tne commerce of
those countries is that of the gulph stream; our own harbours and commercial cities. It would naturally come to the m:)uth of the Mississippi, & meet & mingle with our commerce there. The agricultural productionsof the west would find their best markets in the south. Rut neglecting this important interest it may take a different direction. The corn-
would justly view this Government as the pernicious example which had excit
