Tire Riot al Panama.


fin, from New York and Havsns 70
New Orleans on the 18th inst, brings
exciting and Interesting news from
Central America. On the 18th inst,
q serious riot took place At the 18TH
mus, between the Americans and ma
tives, in which the former were mut-
dered and robbed; the express mails
were destroyed. and the Panama rail
road torn up.
Parker H. French, Esp. was
among the passengers by the Graua-
da, who reports the capture Of the
English mail for Costa RIGA, wherein
dispatches were found fsom Iyord
Clarendon, Of the English Govern.
ment, offering aid against the Repub-
liean party.

contains an account of the difficult, at
Panama above referred to- The steam

27O passengers there, who previous to

II seems that dispute arose between
a native and one Of the passengers of
the Illinois, which resulted 10 scvfle,
in which a pistol was used and the M.
tive wounded. This was the signal
for a general attack The mob as.
sembled in front Of the Ocean Hotel
and the Pacific House, whilst squad

children in the Cisnega, and could
with difficulty be kept back. although
at this time the work Of plumber had

The Police arrived. but made no ef-
fort to quelI the riot; indeed, Col. Tot
ten, Chief Engineer Of the Railroad
charges the Governor him

Geographic intelligence from New
Orleans, relative to Nicaragua:
Nav OatEASs, April 3O.-The
steamer Isabel arrived at Charleston
this day, bringing Nicaragua dates to
the 14th inst.
A bloody battle was fought by Cen
eral Walker near Rivas on the 7th
inst, with the Costa Ricans, in which
the Costa Ricans were totally routed
BY Walker. The Costa Ricaps lost
six hundred killed, the American loss
was orly thirty.
This is too good to be true. The
present position Of affairs in Central
America, cannot fail TO enlist the sym.
rathies Of this people. A victory Of
the Republicans there, is conquest
here. .......

James Buchanan Of Pennsylvania was nom.
mated in the Cincinnad convention a. the cam
didate Of the Freesoil wing Of the party. Dur
ing the irst fourteen balletings he had scarcely
any support whatever from the South, bnt three
fourths of the votes for him were cast by the
delegates from those Of the Northern States
which are most completely abolitionized. He
was put forward in the convention, as the ac-
knowledged candidate of the anti-Nebraska
party, as the preference Of that portion of the
party that has been more deeply fractured with
Freesoilism. Thomas H. Benton and others,
who have been read out of the Democratic party
for their Freesoil opinions, were in Cincinnati
working for his nomination. They were his
most earnest and active supporters.
BY this nomination the Democratic party has
completely abandoned the Nebraska X ansas
principle, it so lately advocated and at one stride
has placed itself in direct opposition to it. The
nomination of Buchanan, the candidate of the
anti-Nebraska faction, has given the lie to the
platform. With such platform and such q
candidate, the Democratic party has the appear
ance Of a man walking in one direction with hi.
head tnrned completely around, and his face
looking the other way. The Ineongruity of thu
platform and the peculiar reputation of the can
didate for political Inconsistency are such iha

the South.

The Platform.

The New York Courier says of the Cincin-
natl platform:
"Let it be what they please to make it. it yet
will be a thing Of no consequence whatever.
The utter contempt with which the party kicked
over their last platform after election, and re-
opened the slavery agitation which they had
called upon Heaven to witness on that platform
they would not do, has rendered it matter of
supreme indifference to the country what they
engage to do or not do
There is truth i this. The very men, who
would be salts led only with the G ,orgla plat
form. saw it voted down in committee; those
who had avowed that they would not enter the
convention and sit cheek by jowl with the NV
York Freesolers, gave them the hama of fell
low hip; while thDse who had decclar d in most
emphatic terms that not to nominate Pierce or
/ Douglas would be an immolation Of them to The
fanatic spirit OF the North, and condemnation
OF their course on the Kansas question, quietly
acquiesced in the nomination of the Missouri
COMPROMISE to the Pacific essential to the pre-.
serva,ion of the Union. Why, the northern mer
who supported Buchanan threatened to go ovel
to the Republicans if he were unsuccessful, ant
the South yielded.
Such men abide by platforms These facile
weathercocks stand up to pledges! Why, they
have already broken their word by their acts il
the convention itself. The South can have M
hope of the arrest, by such party. of the civi
agitation which is even now rocking the yer,
foundations of the government.-[N. O. Creole

questions. This is the wisest thing the old

He would get into a fog at once. He has beer
on all sides of all questions and he knows full
well a course 50 vacilating as his will not beal
