American neighbor.
We find no publicist here of any nation,
who cOnceives that w alker can possibly sus-
tain himself without the regular trips of the
Transit Company's line, carrying him re-
cruits, &c; and without its passengers and
other means to be taxed directly or indirectly
to replete his treasury, which Is almost entire
ly without any other resource whatever. As
matters now stand, We should not be surprised
if it were very long ere the Government in
terferes in the affair of the Company with
Walker; the outside impression being, that
Walker, in what he has done, has acted as little
more than the agent Of parties bound up in
the affairs of the Company: Mr.. G. X. Gar
rison, the Company's agent on the Pacific side,
Capt. Scott, their agent in Nicaragua, and
Mr.. Chas. Morgan, their late agent in New
York. The affair, take 1t altogether, is an
exceedingly funny one.
The Plan.-The letter of Abelarde Guthrie,
published in the New York Tribune, urging
that the Republican party Of Congress shall
aid the schemes of the Abolitionists in Kan.
sas by backing the supplies of money, men,
and arms from New England to enable them
to set the authority Of the United States at
defiance. with a refusal to pass any appro-
priation this year for the continuance of the
United States army in service, is but an echo
of letters from Robinson and other leaders of
the Abolition party there, previously received
in this city. Such requests tell, beyond de-
NAL, that treason-rank and unmitigated
treason-against the United States is now re-
as their only means Of accomplishing the pur-
pose of forcing Kansas to adopt institutions
at the dictation Of the directors-in Massa-
chusetts, of the Emigrant Aid Society. We
need hardly add that Messrs Robinson. Guth-
RE Co. will not be accommodated by the
House of Representatives of the United States
We seriously doubt whether there are ba-
ker's dozen of the members who, however ar
IDENTIFY q much larger number of them may be
disposed to sustain abolitionism in Kansas,
will consent to have their names recorded as
aiders and abettors of this scheme of treason
this plot to abolish the army of the United
States, that it may not stand ready to compel
the submission Of the Kansas Abolitionists to
the authority of the United States, if their
conduct makes it obligatory on the Executive
to force them to obey the laws.
Lakes Permanent and Not Permanent on
the ublio Lands-And Accretions 1t has
been decided by the General Land Office,
that II the lake were permanent body Of
water, land wherever it has been meandered
in surveying, that fact implied it was so con-
sidered when the surveys were made,) the pur-
chasers of public lands extending to it would
hold as riparian proprietors whatever accre.
tions might be formed to their several tracts
by the recession of the water. But if it
should be found that the lake is not perma-
nent body of water, but so shallow that 1t
may disappear by the operation of natural
oauses-such as eyaporation-then the land
thereby covered is the property of the United
States, over which the lines Of the public s1r-
veys should be extended, and in that case the
land would be liable to sale as other public
lands.

Stirring Rumor.-This morning it was be-
ing said by many around the Capitol that a
deliberate plaa has been concocted to, if pos
slble, get Senator Douglas into a personal
difficulty tomorrow in connection with the
speech he is TO deliver.
The Republicans are credited with this fool
ish scheme, the purpose being to spear insults
at him in the course of his remarks. We pre-
dict that If any gentlemen 60 wool gathering
after any such fashion, they will get back
pretty we'll shorn.
