am compelled to ask the courtesy of small space
IN your columns to reply to gross and uniounded as
sauit IN me Unl0n OF this morning, which my name
Is dragged before the public in violation of all those de-
cences and usages OF the reputable press which are re-
cognised even among the most violent opponents For
some purpose or other best known the conductors of
that PRINT they have repeatedly and without proyoca
ton endeavored to prejudice the public mind with the be-
e that the opinions and statements contained in the
the correspondence OF the journal with which am as
socaed reflect the views and wishes Of the Secretary
OF State, and that my information on questions of TO-
reign pollcy is derived through him have been con-
strained on former occasion this misrepesen-
tauon with unqualified denal but, since it has been re-
vVed In more offensive form, take this opportunity
TO say that the lmpuations of the Union in whole and
IN part are mean, malicious, and false. My sentiments
are my own, and SO they shall continue to be- without
lear or favor, and independent of the smiles or rowns
OF inns or any other Administration, so long my
cation IN the press continues This cowardy system of
assallng men in office, without cause and without jus-
tce, Is characteristic OF the Union and has impaired
Whatever OF political position and character it formerly
enjoyed.
My intelligence concerning the policy ofthe last AID.
mnlstraton IN regard to Central America, and its
abandonment OF the Monroe doctrine, was derived
from various responsible sources and among others from
the diplomatic agent commissioned by the State Nj
caragua TO seek the intervention of this Government
against British spollaton, whose appeals and remon-
strances were despsed and neglected | do not doubt
though have not been permitted to see know it ex
cep from Mr. Caslon himself, that the correspondence
and documents OF the late Administration will sustain
every declaration have made this subject and will
confound and cover with shame the mendacous scrib-
blers who are now seeking by defamation and coarse
nvechve, to avoid responsibility which they cannot
defend. Very respectfully

THE NICARAGUA TREATY

We have thought it due to readers to copy from
other papers, within few days past several statements
In regard to Treaty said to have been negotiated and
concluded by Secretary of State and the British
Minister, on the subject OF certain assumed territorial
rights IN Central America the relations OF the British
Government thereto and their bearing on the great pro-
posed canal communication through the territory or Nj
caragua Considering the matter OF much public inter-
est we have made inquiry and learn upon authority on
which we can rely that such Treaty has been con-
GUIDED, and actually before the Senate of the United
States for its consideration and decision What the
precise stpulaons the Treaty are, we could not with
proprlety inquire and of cannot state but we
learn generally, and with much pleasure as surprise
that, instead OF simple agreement beginning and end
ing with, and limited the individual interests of the
two negotiating Governments it is a scheme most COM
prehenslve and benecent in its provisions one which
while 1t tenders common benefits and equal privileges
to the commerce and people of all the world, will con-
tribute lnmeasurably to the civilization and advance
ment tthe now benghted and sem-barbarous regions
OF Central America In short, it such compact we
learn as will reflect lasting honor on the craftsmanship
and wise moderation and liberal spirit of the eminent
negotators and on the Governments under which and
Tor winch they respectvel y acted.
Should the Treaty receive there is every reason TO
believe WILL the approval of the Senate, we may be
aole in short time to lay it before readers when
we snail have IN our power to speak fully of its
merits.
