Letter from Gen.W Walker to Senator Welle

I. t
The subjoined letter from Gen. Walker to Senator
Weller, of California, was read ia the United States
Senate by the latter gentleman, 81 the lst Instant,
and attracted much attention. For the particulars of
the debate, we refer our readers to the Congressional
intelligence under the appropriate head ~y
@ We are glad the Central American question has al
last attracted the attention Of the representatives of
the people of this great nation. We pleased that
the subject has been mooted both in the Senate and
House and shall be rejoiced ft is followed ap
stern Senators and Representatives Of 1872 were in
the habit of following such matters up, The friends
Of Nicaragua havenuch to hope, and nothing tsfsar
from an extended, discussion Thesronger the light
thrown upon the Rivas Walker movement, the higher
the appreciation that will be extended leaders by
all advocates ofHhuman progress and advancement.
This is sure that truth is mighty and must pre-
vail. 81 ;
General Walkers letter sets forth facts which
have been heretofore little touched upon. Through
out it is interesting The closing paragraphs breathe
spirit of feryent and determined patriotism such as
will enlist the sympathes and excite the admiration
of every reader. We earnestly commend the entire
production to the consideration of the public. q
