The miserable and degraded is'ti-

destructive to the indolent la=-11st5
who have so long kept Central An -

masses Of the people Of Nlcara 1"
hailed Walker and his Spartan tand
a. their deliyerers, and with the a.. ..
f.ivas and the liberals, new era - N
n1enced to dawn upon tfat beni-tteG
land. SO long as Rivas acted for the
good ofthe people, and turned dea;
ear to British intrigue, evcryti,a,
moved along smoothly, and to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the people. Ini
British influence hacked up by Brltis'
gold finally succeeded in corruptl (
Kivas and buying him over to The IN
terests of the States at war with Nc
aragua. The election which took
place showed Rivas that the peoplr
thought more Of their Country's lIb-
critics, than they did Of him; and that
they were aware of his intrigucs with
british agents, and he was defeatcdaud
Walker elected President Of the lie
public by an overwhelming majority
Then Rivas' concealed treason tool
shape, and he openly joined the enc
mics Of his Country.
Rivas and his party have shownthoi
respect for the laws of nations ard tn
right Of ambassadors by shooting Nh
Livingston, our worthy United Stat
Consul, without even the form ofbrina
ing against him any accusation. Til
cold blorded butchery will do more t
secure the power Of Walker than an,
net which his enemies could have pei
formed; forit will arouse an indignation
IN THIS Country against The murderer
and strengthen Walker. The arres
OF Col. Salizar and his execution 70
treason, was in accordance with estal
hshod law. Upon his person wer
found letters and documents from MI
Manning, the British Consul, shown
the extent of British intrigue in til
affairs Of Nicaragua. England is stil
ring up the other Central America
States to arm, and unite in driving o.
Walker; knowing that if he obtain
permanent footing in Nicaragua, IT,
ruited States commerce end YanLe
influence will preponderate in Cent?.
America, to the detriment of Britis
capital and British interests.
With these evidences Of England
completely in the warlike movement
to put down Walker, it is the duty ,
the American people, as it is their il
tercst, to sustain him in all ways col
sistent with the laws Of nations. Wall
er has sustained himself unaided an
against the most fearful odds, witho,
