Nicaragua and Tehunntepec.

We understand that many long conferences
were held last week at the Department of State,
between Sir HENRY BULwER, the British min
lister, Mr.. MARcoLETA, minister from Mica
ragua, and Mr.. molina, charge d'afaires from
Costa Rica, on the several Nicaraguan sub
jects.
AS far as we can learn, after the full commu-
nication of opinions and propositions, it was
thought best to wait for few weeks for authori-
ties which the minister of Nicaragua expects
to receive.
In regard to Tehuantepec, we learn that for
midable difficulties exist, which may materially
delay the ratification on the part of Mexico of
the late treaty between that country and the
United States upon this important work. 1t
has been publicly stated, and we believe truly
that the Mexican authorities have revoked or
annulled the grant to GARAY. This we sup
pose, however, is not absolutely decisive of the
question of the ratification of the treaty. Mr.
LETcHER, the American minister at Mexico,
will return to his post as soon as he can do SO
without imminent hazard to, his health al
though there is reason to suppose that no fur
ther proceedings respecting the subject will be
had earlier than January next.

AT meeting of the Wings of the parish of

house of that place, on the 2Sth ult., Judge L.
FAvRoT was called to the. chair, and NJ. BAR

After the appointment of delegates to attend
adistrict convention for the purpose of nominat-
ng a candidate for Congress, and the unani-
nous nomination Of ALEXANDER BARROW to
represent the parish in the next Legislature, b.
Il. CHINN, esq, offered the following resolu-
lions, which were unanimously adopted:
ResolOed, That the Administration of MILLARp
FILLMORE has been characterized by principles of
the lofiiest patriotism, and by prudence. mod
Grafton, wisdom and frmness Commensurate with
the difficulty, danger, and importance Of the ques-
tions which have threatened the very existence OF
our glorious Union.
Resolred, That his Administration, amidst trials
and difficulties unparalleled in the history of his
country has thus far been signally successful and
commands the unbounded and unqualified respect
of the whole Union, North and South
ResoIred, That in the opinion of this meeting the
pure patriotism, the unflinching and steady firm
ness, the expansive and sagacious craftsmanship
thus exhibited in the Administration of President
FILLMORE, places that Administration close by the
side of that of the illusrious Washington, and that
this meeting cannot refrain from the expression Of
their opinions that MILLARD FILLMORE is the man
who has, by his great deeds, placed himself in such
pre-eminence among the great men of his country,
sgnally points him out as the man who during
the present CRISIS should be selected TO maintain
the guidance of the State--that we accordingly
seized the occasion to give expression to the opin-
ion which appears to prevail from North to South
that MILLARD FILLMORE is the man whom the high
interests of the country call to the next Presidency
Of the United States.
The republic., 1851-07-15
orson endowed wlth Reason.

We suppose it the constant perusal of our
columns by the Union that occasionally in
spires the utterance of sound sentiments like
the following: "The States should be permit
ted to attend to and regulate their own affairs,
and the Federal Government should not in
terfere with them"
We have read of an experiment in physiology
where subject fed exclusively upon particu-
lar nutriment showed in his bones the coloring
matter of his diet. Thus the patriotic course
pursued by the Administration in regard to the
State Conventions of Pennsylvania and Ohio
has so far iInbued the Union with its proprety,
that it cannot withhold It's approval of the very
action which it has condemned. Citizens of
these States have recently nominated distn-
guished Wing as their candidate for the Presi-
dency. They have laid down platform con-
tanning expressions of opinion highly flattering
to the Administration. They have also nomi-
mated tickets for various officers of the State
government
In doing so they have exercised right es-
tablished by universal usage. For the results
of their action they are responsible to them
selves and to their fellow-citizens.
But should the Administration denounce
their action if it does not comport with its own
views, or applaud them if they do? The re-
sponse is furnished by the truly appropriate
language of the Union: "The States should be
permitted to attend to and regulate their own
affairs, and the Federal Government should
not interfere with them in any manner"
1t will be remembered that the Union has
for some time devoted its columns 10 the abuse
of the Administration, because it would not in
terfere in the approaching elections by de-
nouncing, under the direction of the Union,
the action of the State Conventions.
We shall continue to leave to the free and
unbiased action Of the States the adoption of
such nominations and platforms as they may
deem proper.
The position of the Administration is well
known; its principles wave at the masthead;
it will do its duty, and permit "the States to
attend to their own affairs, without any Fede-
raj interference whatsoever

The Three-cent pieces.

BY the following letter from WILLIAM l..
HODGE, esq, Acting Secretary Of the Treasury,
to the Postmaster General, il will be perceived
that an arrangement has been made with
Messrs ADAMS s Co, by. which postmasters
are to be supplied with three-cent pieces on re-
mitting the amount to the United States Mint
at Philadelphia, which they may require within
reasonable limits; and that such other arrange
ments are made and will be made for the dis
tribution Of this coin as will conduce to the pub
lie consequence:

SIH return the letter from the postmaster al

pieces, and, in reply, have the honor to state that
The republic., 1851-07-15

the Director Of the Mint at Philadelphia has made
an arrangement with Adams & Co.'s Express TO
transmit this coin to parties at other places re-
quiring it, and if the postmaster at Troy, or any
other Of the deputy postmAsters the line of that
express will remit the needful amount to the Mint,
the threecent pieces will be sent and delivered to
them free Of expense or risk on their part
would observe, however, that the demand for
three-cent pieces is SO general and large, that
the postmasters must endeavor to be moderate
possible in their calls until arrangements are
completed for a more extended and rapid coinage
of them.
The public depositaries at the following places,
viz, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington,
Norfolk. Charleston, Savannah, Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, and Buffalo, are regularly supplied with this
coin and those postmasters in their respective vi
cinities may perhaps find il more convenient to
obtain supply from them.
The Branch Mint at New Orleans has also COM
menced the coinage of these pieces, but yet no
arrangement has been made for sending them from
thence to distant points but they will be issued to
any public officers who may desire them in ex
change for other American coin, and those places
situated on the western waters can, through the
officers of steamboats, trading to New Orleans,
readily obtain any moderate supply which they
may require.

[PREsIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
ssThe Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
sare called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from impertections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciiatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, so
far as / know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace the country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
nation of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon theprinciples
