In 1873, Mr. Rush, Minister in Paris, PROMPTLY

Of this city and tbs larger portion Of the republic the

The only objection that the most cautious f.siiious
could make would be that who have

blessings Of peace, not natives OF Nicaragua This
WaIher is all right. Shall then, justice be denied,

As the Minister OF great nation should have besn de-

So far as in my power, shall carry out the pledge
