THE NEW BRITISH TREATY.

The Union, of Sunday last came out with a
characteristic article, designed to defeat the ratf-
cation. by the Senate of the important treaty re-
Gently negotiated by the Secretary of State and
the British Minister. 1t is alleged, by the Union,
that by this Treaty, "we are sold to the British"
The way in whichit is pretended that this impor-
tant transfer of persons and property is to be ac-
complshed, is this The present treaty gives
Great Britain and other nations equal right with
the United States to use the contemplated canal J;
whereas quasi-treaty, said to have been negotia-
ted with Nicaragua by Mr.. Hise, an agent of
President Polk, guaranteed to the United States
the exclusive navigation of the canal. The
Unions point is, that we are sold to the British, by
not insisting on Hse's treaty, so to secure the
exclusive navigation. But the question will pro-
badly arise in every sensible mans mind, whe-
Their it is not better to have a, treaty with Great
Britain by which all her territorial claims in the
Nicaragua country are surrendered, and, besides
that, treaty with Nicaragua giving an American
company the prior privilege of constructing the
CANAL than to have worthless, and, as 1t seems,
unwarranted contract with Nicaragua alone, which
would leave in existence all the difficulties which
Great Britain was prepared to throw in the way
What do we want with the exclusive navigation
of this canal The United States will always
have command of it by their position, and must be
the principal beneficiary of its operations. What
we want is TO get the canal made, and to remove
all sources of obstruction to its trade. These OBJ
jects Mr.. Clayton's treaty will accomplish, and
they will cause it to be regarded through all time
as one of the nobest achievements of diplomacy.
The National Inteligencer of Monday makes
the following reply to the Unions article;
We have yet to learn that there is any opposition
whatever ia the Senate to this Treaty or that there is
