Alleged Hostility In Nicaragua, TO the United

eUies.
We Yesterday, in strong terms, called the a:ten-
Ton Of the public aud the government to the con-
disien Of affairs in Central America and particular
E in Nicaragua, as affecting american rights and
Interests. There is Disgusting the fact that the
course Of policy, halting, evasive, not to say
Gsseherous, which has been pursued towards that
ssantry, during the pas. year, has had a tendency
10 senbitter the feeas, 0i ~ government and peo-
pie towards our own, sud -ith rrason. When Gen.
Taylor des patched p,lbAe .eat 10 that country
which he did within a oath after Pa. Inauguration
that agent found it in state g.. revolution and
anarchy; the better poIr oE tbs D Jpe despondent
and hopeless; industry PROSTATE, ,lg general desc
lation impending. HE arrival. however. gave new
esuage TO the supporters u order anu the laws;
tbe tottering government gathered si-sng h;
and, with his advice and al. With 80 uontas,
peace vas once more rCstofed With ~ came
brighter prospects; and III men ~ LaI resigned
themselves, in despair, & tLr tsts whoa British
rspaeity :hrea tened on one aalt. and popalar g-
Aorance the other, lent th-.f eGorts good faith
with good will, and with good effect, to measures
necessary and proper TO the public welfare. "In he
discharge Of your mission" said the Secretary Of
State Of Nicaragua in his last letter 10 Mr.. Squier,
"you have earned and received the cordial esteem
II the people and government OF Nicaragua. They
thAnk you, SIR for the hopes os prosperity to which
you have given birth. Your presence has made re
appear tho national spirit, aud raised the country
from the chaotic state in which i: has suffered for
% many years"
The foundations upon which the patriots Of
Nicaragua based their hopes for the future the
relations with he United states, which had been
established under such favorable auspices. They
looked 20 her, a. the Oldest and NOS: powerful
public Of the continent, for protection and support;
ihey relied upon the ASSURANCES Of the American
government, mest solemaly given, Of It's sympathy,
advice AID support. In grateful acknowledgment,
and as evidence Of their sincerity, holding the
key which is to unlock the treasures Of two henis-
phsres-ihe only pra; sicsbie route for ship canal
between the two oceans-tbey surrendered It into
the hands Of American citizens. Formally, y
treaty they ded, forever, free transit through
their territories to the citizens aud commerce Of
the United states; placed both in fact, footing
equally favorable with their own. In oonfor nifty
with the suggestions and in Difference 10 the
wishes q the Americln govern nent, they took the
initiative to the rc-estabsh q the old fedora
tioa towards union Of the disrupted States
Of Central America. They assented TO the estab-
hshmen. Of free cities upon either ocean, 20 facili-
tate the commerce Of the world, under the joint
guarantee of themselves aud the United States.
In retura for all this they exaesei nothing-askod
nothing, except the simple recognition Of their
sovereignty over the line Of the projected canal
snd guaranty Of its neutrality. That sovereignty
the United States had repeatedly aiirmcd-tAat
guaranty il L sd faithfully prs misod to bcs'ow
Under this state Of thiags, agriculture and trade
revived the whole country seemed reinvigerated;
public improvements were projected and Enisr-
taken; and a new era Of prosperity seemed dawning
upon this long distracted and shaInefully opPres
ed country.
But in an evil hour. instead Of insisting, az IL
should have done, at every hazard, upon The imme-
diato and unconditional restoration Of the ports and
territories Of Niangua, By Great Britain, tae
United states perm tied itself 10 be drawn into n
violation Of the fundamental principles Of our
foreign policy, and negotiated that monstrous d

Great Britain made party TO that which vas
none Of her business, and which pertained 10 the
American republics alone. General Taylor soon
after died. and the treaty with Nicaragua, upon
which that weak republic had founded her hopes,

British Minister, who now insisted that tho treaty
