OF i,-that the administration, or its legitimate
Union party successors, would come in for all the
offices now held by the wings; and that the Union
democrats won have to be content with their.
patriotic devotion to the peace of the country as
their share of the bargain. OF course, such con-
tract was out of the question. The democrats
claim to be Union party, as they are; If the
wings wish such party to prevail, let them hitch
on. In any event, no matter how many candidate
may run IN the next campaign, the democrats have
equal chance Of sending one Of the three highest
to the House. The whg Union circular, then, was
rather too much pork for a shilling; and falling in
committing the Northern democracy, ali that can
be made out Of it must be done in the South. We
presume, however, the affair has fallen TO the
ground, and that allthe benefits accrung from the
failure will accrue to the administration. That's
something. Better luck next time

liberty to say that the neglect of the American
government to enforce the terms of the treaty be-

created the deepest dissatisfaction, and greatly
weakened the confidence of those countries in our

government, and one equally disposed to spurn her
flattery and brides and resist her aggressions.

feeling occasioned by the death Of General Taylor.

officer of Nicaragua. He says

towards this oppressed republic had justly endeared
