We can discover nothing in the foregoing obnoxious
to lust criticism. On the contrary we think it emf
ncntly wise and patriotic, and demanded by the
of the times by the progression of the age
and by the late upward leap Nicaragua has taken in
rational advancement. The laws annued might have |
answered very well for the country eighteen years
ago but whether they suitable now is altogether
a different question. The probabilities are thousand
to one, that they were wholly unsuitable: that they
operated as a drag upon the Of progress that
they depressed agricultural and commercial develop
men and that they ought to have been repealed years
since Then, again, the Government OF Nicaragua
enjoys the inaenable right common to all constltu.
tional governments, to repeal and make all laws at
pleasure Not session of Congress passes at whicl.
statutes are not repealed and the same thing occurs
during every session of every State Legislature in the
Union Then why all these ebllitions Of wrath over
legitimate act Of sovereignty? We believe we can
furnish an explanation.
Among the laws which the foregoing decree renders
null and void is an act Of the Federal Constituent
Assembly of the Central American States, passed on
the 18th Of April 1924, abolisns slavery throughout
those States. This annullment revivcs; so the New
York Sun Tribune and Times aver, the original Span
ISL law permitting and protecting the institution of
domestic slavery i'll that country. This is all, taking
the construction these New York people put upon the
decree to be correct. Or in other words, the Govern
ment of Nicaragua obligates itself to protect the pro
perty and persons Of cmigrants tlthor matter
what description of property they may bring along.
Nothing more. The law exists ut least in
theory, i'll all the Territories of this Union belonging
to the Federal Government
Upon this decree, the bearing and facts about
which we have endeavorcd to explain, we trust to
the satisfaction Of readers, the editors of the New
York Sun became conyused with rage and dscrcdited
themselves BY applying lerociousIy abusive and vu
gar language to Gen. Walker. Almost every dis
graceful cptlet in the language is freely hurled at
his devoted head. Not satisfied with this they mis-
represent his position miscontrue the feelings of the
native population of Nicaragua take pleasure i'll pre-
dieting his early downfall seek to array the Amer
cans i'll that country and in this against him; advise
Gen. Goicuria to abandon his standard and think it
will he impossible for Mr.. Appleton Oalsnth, who
represents Nicaraguan interests in the North, to
longer hold on to his commssion Modest, sensible,
generous Sun What vast amount of spleen has
been expended for nothing.
We presume the news Of the recent splendid tri-
umpls of Gen. Walker at Nlassaya and Granada,
which utterly destroyed the last hope of his enemies
in Central America, has ere this convinced the edi-
