WASHINGTON, MAY l4.-Padre Will presented
his credentials today, and was received by the
President as Minister from the Walker Govern
ment in Nicaragua The usual courteous
speeches were interchanged. The President
in his remarks significantly said he would en-
force the neutrality laws. Senior Marcoleta is
greatly disguised.
There is Eos the least foundation for state
ments made by contemporaries, that Great Brit
ain has formally refused to recall Mr.. Champion
or yield on the Central American question. No
dispatches whatever were received by recent
steamers. A long despatch had been prepared
by Lord Clarendon, defensive of Mr.. CHAMPION,
and declining to recall him. This was consid-
cred in the British Cabinet on the 22d ult, but
was not forwarded, as is supposed, in conse-
quence of doubt as to its propriety or policy.

Two messages were received from the Presi
dent, vetoing the bills recently passed for the
improvement of the mouth of the Mississippi
river, and deepening the flats in the St. Clair
river. The President says he returns them
because he regards them as parts of a general
system Of internal improvements, and refers
them to his message Of 1854, vetoing the river
and harbor bill. The consideration of the sub
iect was postponed until Wednesday next.
Mr.. Cass stated that he should ask leave,
when convenient opportunity occurred, to
show that he had been misrepresented by Mr..
Champion, in certain correspondence with the
British Government.
Mr.. Sumner then addressed the Senate on

"sTIRRING UP THE ANIMALS"

1t was certainly interesting sight to wit
ness the commotion produced among the
clique of politicians, who act as special guar
dams over the affairs of James Buchanan Plat
form in this town, by the speeches of Lt.Gov.
Roberts, Mr.. Noble and others, at Curwens-
VILE on the 9th, and in this place on the 29th
Sept. During Tuesday and Wednesday, there
was a constant sran' to the Office of our down
town sEncighbor," and it was notoriously ap-
parent that Roberts and Noble would receive
particular s'its" from these ssmighty ones OF
EARTH The Republican had to be kept back
one day, in order that everything could be
properly attended to. In consequence of this
detention, public expectation was on tip-toe
to hear what would be said, and we acknowl-
edge that the feeling extended 10 ourself. AT
last, Thursday came, and with 1t the Repa6H-
can. Bul, alas the mountain that was in Ia
Dor, brought forth an insignificant mouse =
instead of the powerful, logical aud erudite
criticism which we anticipated the speeches
would undergo by SO learned, sapient and pro-
foundly truthful a corps of reviewers, We had
to content ourselves with reading rehash of
stale phrases and an indulgence in msrepre-
sentation, vllification aud abuse, for which the
Republican has become proverbial in this COM
munity.
We do not deem it necessary to refute the
many specious statements and peryersions of
the language OF our speakers, which appear in
the Republican. We will merely touch one or
two. In regard to Mr.. Noble, the Republican
says-s'To prove that Congress had been in
. the habit of legislating on the side of slave
:. .ry in the Territories, he cited an act of Con-
50 gress of '94 or 49," Now, what Mr.. n Noble
did really attempt to prove was, that Congress
had been in the habit OF legislating on the sui
ject of slavery in the territories, and not on
the side OF it, as stated by the Republican
''Agan-says the Repu5Lican-he took the
= ground that property is made such by law
- Whereas the reverse is the case. In Pennsyl-
::vania. negroes or slaves, are not property,
. because it is against law to hold slaves
Mr.. Noble held that property was such by
unirersal law, by natural right-that negroes,
on the other hand, are made property by local
special enactment. Any one can discern
the perversion. Such is the trickery resorted
to by men who set themselves up as paragons
of political honesty.

JOHN C. BREcKINRIDGE on THE DEcLA
RATION OF INDEPENDENCE

On the second of September, Hon. John C
Breckinridge made a speech al Hamilton, o :
hio, from report Of which we make the fol
lowing extract:
ssLook at the principles Of this party {the
Republican, Listen TO the ignomy and reyil-
ing which they combine TO hurl on your sister
States. We arc told the Declaration of Inde-
pendence is embodied in the Constitution Of
the nired States. The Declaration is an Gb-
sfrGcfiOa. Put it in the Constitution and what
would follow! 1t would follow that the Con-
stitution must protect every man in his right
to life liberty and the pursuit OF happiness. :.
You would find it interfering with the
institutions OF the States, and il would lead
our country rapidly TO destruction. But why
do / speculate upon what il would do Long
before this our Union would be obliterated
forever. 1t would become as sINT0LERABLE
and HATEFUL, as its past has been benifccnt
and glorious"
Mr. Breckinridgc msnifcstly prefers Dsu-
nion to even practical recognition of theDcc-
laiation of Independence Let the people OF
serve whence come the threats of Disunion; !;
-dvtrr'tcrrvns on uury. Let every man in the
crisis which inscriptions dcmagogucs have
forced upon Us, vote and act as his conscience
dictates, though the heavens fall.

nEwARE OF FALSE REPORTS.

That is a truthful if it is a trite adsge, that
.sIt is hard to teach an old dog new tricks,
and it is brought to our mind by tho. pnduct
of the Locofoco .wire-workers, who are again
busy at their old game of circulating false re-
ports and sanderous documents, on the eve OF
an important election. They are resorting to
every species of trickery to defeat our candi-
dates, and we mentioned last week that one of
their leaders boasted that they had ga game"
up now, by which they would win. All this,
together with the unusual and straining efforts
which they are making, by holding meetings
and otherwise, indicates plainly that they are
terribly frightened--and we think they have
good cause for being scared. Be on your
guard, therefore, Americans, Republicans, and
old line Wings, for every effort viii be made
by the Locofoco leaders to induce you to vote
against the Union State, District and County
Tickets. We have an abiding confidence in
your integrity, and we feel certain that you
viii treat these false reports and vile roorbacks
of the Buckaniers with that virtuous disdain
which they must inspire in every honest free
mans heart.
