Kidding for the Nomination.
II is not many months since Walkers new
government in Nicaragua commissioned Parker
II. French to serve as Minister from that coun-
try to the United States, and it iswell known to
the reader that President Pierce would not rec
ognile the pseulogovernment of Walker. and
consequently rejected Mr.. French. He did not
do this without reason, and here it is as given
by Secretary Marcy:
"Those who were chiefly instrumental in sus
pending or overthrowing the former Govern
mant of that State were not citizens belonging to
it, nor have those citizrns, nor any considerable
part of them so far as is nov known here. free
ly expressed their approval of or acquescence
in The present condition of political affairs in
Nicaragua. Until such shall BE- the case, the
President does not DEEM it proper to receius yOu,
or ANY ONE, as a Minister TO this Government
duly appointed by the Supreme Government Of
Nicaragua"
Since the penning of the above by the Presi-
dents Secretary, no new feature has shaded the
face of NicarOguan affairs, and yet the President
has seen proper to change his reasoning, embrace
Walker, and heartily receive Padre Will, the
new Minister. Thus the acting Government Of
the United States gives to Walkers iilibustering
the seal of appreciation, and to all other pro-
slavery propagandists a word Of cheer and en-
couragemrnt.
Southern chiyalry is again triumphant, slavery
will be established in Nicaragua, and then an.
ncxaion will be the watchwori of Southern
politicians The right moment was seized upon
for tha accomplishment Of his first important
step Pierce was on his thread bare knees before
he god Of slavery, asking what he should do to
be saved from defeat in the Cincinnati Con
vention. His deity replied, hang the propa-
ganlsls Of freedom in Kansas and Fecognizs the
Government of Walker" Most Willingly did he
obey; the new Minister was received, aud per
hnps ere this Governor Robson and his comrades
have been hung b. lawlcss mob, organized by
order of the President, fed, armed, and paid by
the people Of the country. And this for daring
to refuse obedience TO unjust and barbarous laws,
enacted by Legislature, the members of which
were elected by the Citizens Of foreign power!
Such desertion of tight and duty by an Office
holder is extremity /, censursble, and Should re-
ceive the contemplation Of mrn Of all parties,
in every section Of The country. Even The fl
libusters should Blush for supporting man fot
the Presidency who is competent 10 prostitute
his Office and sacrifice The peace and happiness
of his country, TO retain place and power. Had
he an army equal toihat Of France, Pierce " ould
be the man TO dc clare himself Emperor and buy
the military pewsr requisite 70 enteTes his dec
laraiion. Lacking he talent of Napoleon. and
the means necessary to sustain him in such a
movement he resorts 10 the opposite horn of The
dilemma and therefore IS willing tool for every
clan whose support promises his promoion.-
OF late, ahas overreached his mark, and while
lie has lent an ear to the noisy brook, the deep,
silent waters of public sentiment are overwhem-
ing him His chances lor nomination are not
as good as lheyswere three weeks ago, and we
will be much disappointed if he is not thrown
aside by the convention.

.zsr0n the 22d insts, Mr. Brooks and Mr..
Keith, members Of Congress from South Carolina,
assaulted and severely beat Hon, Charles Sum
ner, of Mass. while in his seat in the Senate
Chamber. Mr.. S. was so severely injured that
he could not attend in the Senate for several
days. If the South is not disgraced by lis black
guards and murderers in the present Congress, the
Union is, and the representatives Of the people
should Indignantly hurl such men from their pla-
ces in the councils of the Nation, and thus pre-
serve the government from repetition Of the
disgraceful scenes which have transpired at
Washington within few weeks past.

yEy- David T. Disney, while member ofCon-
gress from Hamilton County, served his constit-
uents in Cincinnati by securing the adoption OF
law which was thought to be of some benefit
to them. On the expiration of his term of office,
he presented bill to the city council. asking
pay for his services in securing the enactment
of said law. OF course his request was not
granted wherupon suit was commenced by
him, which has resulted in judgment of $3,
600 in his favor. Hence, hereafter, taking this
decision as pattern, representatives in Congress
and State legislatures are not only entitled to
their salaries, but if they happen to do anything
that will benefit some of their constituents, they
can charge and recover pay for such unusual
course of conduct besides. The greatest wonder
is that Disney done anything to benefit any per
son, being violent partisan and an ambitious
demagogue.
