THE GREYTOWN SPECULATION.

WASHINGTON, Saturday Aug. 26, 1854.
The enormity of the bombardment and destruction
OF Greytownsas disclosed to cOnfdentally is such
TO stamp the Administration and all concerned with
everlasting disgrace.
1t seems that the Nicaragua Transit Company are at
the bottom OF the whole movement. This Company
and their associates, composed Of Caleb Gushing, sid
ney Webster, Secretary Dobbin and Solon Borland.
owned or proiessed to own large tract of land run
ming two hundred miles by eighty miles in breadth
across the country That proposals made to the
citizens OF Grey to purchase and thus acknowl.
edge the title in this Company and the obstacles thrown
IN the way OF ths land speculation the basis of
the Governments action, which resulted In the des
tTuetion Of GreytOwn.
Soon after solon Borand returned here. there was
select dinner party got up TO discuss and settle tie
question OF the Nicaragua Transit COmpanys interests
and titles 10 these lands, at which Solon BorIand
Caleb Gushing, Sidney Webster, Joseph i. White and
Col. forLey were present, and perhaps Secretary
poSbin. AT this dinner party the bou,bardment and
destruction OF Greytown was resolved upon. Here
We have tie Whole affair in q nut shell. We see the
action Of the Government in the subsequent lombard
nent and destruction OF GreytOwD, originating from
dinner party of land spectators composed of mem
bers Of the Cabinet and persons surroundins&he Pres
dent and connected with the Nicaragua Transit Com
pany. 1t is mOrtiiying that we have President who
surrounded with, and can be used BY such set of
SPECTATORS and that we should be dsgraced a. a
nation, and subjected to the repsraton which must
be made, to enrich combination Of persons Connected
with the Nicaragua Transit Company and the Admin.
istration. The facts will all come out, and the Ala.
closure will cover the Administration and especially
the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Nav
with eternal.dsgrace. When combinations of wealth
or chartered company can control ana direct ~
Executive of country like ours and make war and
destroy property and towns, to enrich companv or
