The speech Of Senator Douglas, taken in connec.
zion the fact that he Is prominent aspirant for
Presidential at the hands Of the National
Convention Of his party which assemblies in Cincin
matt next month, is very significant He does not say
anything directly against tile administration, but The
tenor Of his remarks leads to the conclusion that hs
would have pursued d different policy had he been a
The head of the Government. There Is little doub
he would for with all his faults, he is hold, dashinf
man, who cannot be bullied, much less scared.
Senator Douglas says 6 cannot cquiesce il the
condemnatians which have heard III the Senate
upon the existing Government i'll Nicaragua He
then proceeds TO show that well founded objections
cannot be urged against that because d
The natufa lization and employment Of foreigners
Further along he remarks: we cannot conceal
the fast that we have great interests which should
lead US to deeply with the movement now
going Oh iii Genital America, etc. These quotations
are sufficient 10 show that he does not approve the
i policy of the administration. "a rs
We incline to the opinion that this move of Mr..
Douglas will streng hen his claims for the Presiden-
tia nomination. while It will correspondingly damage
those Of Mr.. Pierce. The people Of the United
States naturally sympathise with the struggling.
And they, just naturally look with an eye Of dis
favor upon a man, or an administration, which
undertake, directly or indirectly to discourage, put
down, or crush, efforts similar to the ones in which
Gen. Waker and his patriotic laborels are engaged
AL this Mr.. Pierce has done and is doing, which
h accounts for his unpop ulaTity in the country.
Mi Pierce may endeavor to regain his lost position
BY receiving Padre VII the new Nicaraguan Minis
ter and BY repairing, as far possible the mischief
he hasWantonly inflicted upon the Government hi
represents, We should rejoice to learn that he has
done %, although we should have no confidence ii
the sincerity Of the man or the honesty Of the poll
sfcan. He would simply be doing an act of justice
caused by outside pressure upon character the prin
ciple constituent Of which is unalloyed selfshness
If he could obtain the nomination he would not care
d if Nicaragua was made d desert.
