CaInpaign Paper

In few days we will issue our prospectus ON the
most liberal terms, for the publication of campaign pa
per to support the nominee of the Democratic National
Convention and to carry out the great principles of the
republican party. We have intended il all along; and
we shall endeavor to enlist the bes pens in the service
the cause II obvious that desperate effort is TO
be made by the wings to avenge their former defeat
The success OF the democratic measures has been SO r-
umphant in practice that their opponents seem unwilling
to STIR any OF the old issues, but to allow Judgment, to be
entered against them by default Many of them are pre-
pared to slur their principles and resort as they did
nls4O and 1884, TO the most desperate means and nsdous
humbugs Tor getting into power again. We mean to do
our duty and so tar as we to expose TO the people
their objects and thercks they will avow no PRINCIPLES
which an intelligent community shall prefer to those pro-
claimed and practsed by the democratic party they can
not reasonably ask for change. Ii they hope TO sue
coed by mere humbuggey and concealment of their real
designs, we shall endeavor to unmask Them and appeal
to the people for their intelligent verdict We ask the
aid OF our democratic brethren in all parts of the coun
try in circulating light and truth among the people We
rejoice to other editors about TO establish campaign
papers We, too, will initiate their example and pledge
all our means, and all enthusiasm, to uphold the
banner OF the republican party Better soldiers there may
be in the field but more zealous-none more de-
voted to the principles which we have upheld for forty
four years

Inter from Honduras.

PROTEST AGAINST BRITISH ENCOURAGEMENT NIcAR-
acUA-The arrival of the schooner Nile at New
York, from Belize, Honduras brings files of the Hon.
duras Observer to the 18th ultimo In the Observer
OF the 5th, we find protest by the State of Ilondu-
ras in the name of Central America against the oc-
cupation of that part of its territory in the northern
boundary which has taken place BY troops of the Eng
sh government as protector OF the So called Mosquito
Nation on the pretext that the so-called King (who
only recognised as such by the government OF H. B. M
has placed himself under its protection. The protest
says
''The supposed right of the Mosquito oh lief the terri
tory question: which is seized solely by employing the
greatest orce has not even been examined as 1t should be
done nor has he or protector the English government
the necessary remonstrance through the medium Of
its accredited agents. according TO the principles admitted
by assent by all civilized nations of the world
The Observer, of the 18th, also states that the sister of
the King has offered the Ncaraguan government the aid
of GOO troops support her claims to the territory
possession of her brother.

We publish the following, taken from the Journal of
Commerce, for the purpose OF giving positive contra
dction We assured there not one word of truth
in the statement The fair and reciprocal terms for
postal treaty, submitted by Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Hobbe
rejected by the British government last fall And
the last steamer brings the intelligence that those pro-
posed by Mr.. Johnson since, through our minister at
London, have also been rejected The rejection is
wholly from the other side and the government that
pursues this unrendy course eaps her advantage from
it by collecting the postage per letter from our
mail ships that she does from her own Under such
circumstances to represent Mr. Johnson as the rejecting
party, is outrage truth and Justice We trust that
Congress will permit this unequal state of things to
continue m UGH longer.
''REoIrRocITy PosTAGg.-The American people have a
strange OF retaliation hand BY the last steamer
but one, was known that minister London had
arranged posal treaty with the British government upon
terms OF perfect recproeity Letters be treated
acty in the same way, whether received by British or
American vessels The treaty like that arranged by
Mr. Hobbe with the Belgian government and exactly in
accordance with the demands of our government 1t was
all we asked for Yet the steamer Just arrived brings in
formation that by orders from Mr. Cave Johnson, Mr. Ban
cro had withdrawn the negotiation and the arrangement
was therefore defeated Yet Mr. Johnson keeps his
tenn of proscnptve retaliation against the Canadas II

The London Times, of the 18th February, describes
the project of Mr.. Robins for paying off the repudated
bonds Of Mississippi 1t appears that MI: Robins
and therefore that the people will not submit to COM
pulsory by the legislature for the purpose of paying
them, but that they willing, nine in ten of them to
pay the bonds as matter OF honor, by contribution.
The Times remarks, that farther defence than lille
gality is needed for Mississippi, there 81, 100000
or So 900 900 in relation to which question has
been raised, upon which the dividends unpaid equally
with the others. The Times suggests that instead of the
plan proposed by Mr. Robins, the State should issue
bonds for the repudiaed debt and make arrangements
to pay the interest all 1t concludes with the follow
ing remarks:
Al that the bondholders desire is payment way
another and that this will eventually take place, only
the debt of Mississippi, but with that of every other
defaulting State of the American Union, have
from the first, entertained the smallest doubt"
On this general subject the New York Tribune has the
following
Z" We have for knowing that the opinions Of the
large foreign capitalists have been undergoing, laerly
gradual change in regard the securities OF the national
government The efforts of the paying States
10 effect arrangements with their bondholders by which
their State faith might be redeemed has had very vora
BILE influence abroad proving that not all band
Of pick-pockes The late of Mississippi, even if it
does not result in satisfactory arrangement will have de-
rope we have reason, ALSO believe that the attention
Of foreign capitalists has been turned to the loans which
may need to quidae the expenses OF the
Mexican and that if the treaty before the Senate
should be confirmed, offers for the whole of the
sixteen million loan will be put in for foreign account.

unfortunate in his critque We stated that the

Baltimore and that they he remains of course)
would thence proceed to Quincy to be deposited in the
tombs of his ancestors All this is plain enough yet
the Washington hypercrtc throws away quarter of a
column of that paper in enumeratng the members of the

"Tribune" very little for the value of its
columns to waste much space upon this bald and silly
criticism We consider space too precious to be
