The Chicago Press, leading Demo.
cratic paper, takes comfort as follows, in
the chastisement recently visited upon
the party in Iowa:
This result is not unexpected, nor have
we any crocodile tears to shed over it -
The leaders of the Democratic party
tried TO make the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise test question. aud the peo-
pie tloored them for their iniquily. When
ever our party is right, we are ready 10
take off our coat and work for il with
mind, voice, heart. arm and pen. But
when ii plants itself upon a great wrong,
and corrupt leaders seek to seduce the
rank and file from the ancient Ian dmarks
OF Democracy, then we think that good
"drubbing" is the best possible thing that
could happen for it. This is what hap.
pened in Iowa, and we do not grieve a
particle over it.

The Mosquito PrOtectOra te.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Tribune asserts, on what is alleged to be
undoubted authority, that the British Government
has issued orders to it's naval officers and dpo.
matte agents in the West Indies and Central
America which amount to the abandonment OF the
Mosquito Protectorate far as Greytown is con.
cerned. These officers re directed not to inter.
fere there any further than to protect recognised
and bona fde British subjects; not to assert any
right of sovereignty or any jurisdiction over the
place not to intermedde with any quarrel be-
tween the Transit Company and the town. or with
any controversy that may there be going as
respects titles to land or the right Of possession,
and TO leave occupants and claimants to settle il
as they can. They are not even to lend any sup
port to the titles to lands issued hitherto by the
former British Vice Consul at the place. Claims
of actual British subjects for damages in the Hol
Inns bombardment are to be taken notice OF, and to
be reported, but nothing more. And if the Ameri
can vessels liz the port salute the flag Of Nicara.
qua, any other flag, nothing is to be said OF
done against it, In word, the protectorate ii
abandoned, at least at San Juan; and il Nicara.
qua could now take possession of the place, she
would meet with no opposition from the British
Government.
The Washington Star of Wednesday expresses
tho opinion tina, England has not entirely aban
doned her proectorate the so called Mosquito
kingdom, but merely designs holding it in abey
ance whilst her attention is occupied with the Rus
sian question. 1t admits, however, that the In
tentlon TO send the Boscawen ninety. gun ship tc
San Juan has been abandoned /; that vessel being
now at HALIFAX, without any intention OF starting
| on the expedition for which she was designed
on leaving England. If England abandons the
protectorate now, it is scarcely probable that she
will reassert it hereafter.
