Involved well worthy of the serious delibers-

to beat least a tendency in the premed position ci
maths to sink the real and important aim of
that Convention in the sabeedinate points of oon-
streetiou which the United fasts' Government have
raised es to the isogon* of its first article.
For ourselves, we have entertained a doubt
that, as a matter of legal controversy and of verbal
construction, the British Government has much the
better of the arguineet. Bet as little do we doubt
that, as to the more essential and material points,
the United States are geographically and historically
is thpright. On the fist point, the remark made to
Mr. Daurs by Lord CLARENDON is his last note
appears to so to beguile irresistible :

Mr. DALLAS and Lord CLARENDON are about to nego-

podtica of the whole of Central America, It is far
more than probable—nay, with the Cincinnati
democratic resolutions before as, it is almost testes,
that the prevailing party in the United Stabs really
desires to get the States released from the primary
obligation of that Convention, which is the strict
neutrality of the inter-ocausie route arson the
Isthmus. This Goaded= of that Caseation, bobb-

by our occupation of Ruston and eve pro-
tectorate of beget°. To insist co theme two
points is to risk, and it may be to soma" the
greater for the less. Our true policy is to resist the
application of the Molting doctrine to Central Ame-
rico, not by any acquisitions or prehneleas of oar
own, bat by keeping the United Statue Govsenierat
strictly tied down by treaty not to acqube Unitary
or predominating iLfinence on the route across the
Isthmus.

Mr. Dawn, elaborating Lord Ion& Russzu.'s

we say to Lord CLAWDON, a great opportmity to
