The Central American intelligence occupies good deal
ofattenton here Little doubt is entertained of the
Of Walkers government especially Costa Rica has
given him opportunity Of extending his usefulness
is understood that Major Heiss mission to Ncara-
qua is with view of seeing Walker and assuring him
of the good feeling Of government and its readiness
to acb the existing there pro
vded other Minister is sent than Mr. French and
IL said that exPreden Ramirez will leave Graz
NADIA for this city, as Ncaragusn envoy. Mr. Heiss
and Colonel Walker warm personal friends having
been associated in the New Orleans Da and hence
selection to bring about proper understanding Il is
conceded that the delay In recognizing the de ao gov
ernment Of Nicaragua blunder.
Your despatch from Washington, ia yesterdays He
RAID, has caused much conversation. The political
cauldron is beginning to simmer and the prospe,. is
hattering Of good time soon.
The nomination Of Mr. Fillmore has not .eaed intense
enthusiasm, and II Is said that gentleman win be advised
his friends TO say nothing to his acceptance
other Hise till after the June conventions.
The niger worshppers In the hands Of Seward,
whose effort will first be TO crush out Fillmore that he
win be mere "reminiscences for the future To do this
they will endeavor to make nomination without plat
iorm and induce Judge Mclean to accept They hope
to leave Fillmore without State and thus extnguish
him. Seward il too shrewd to believe the niger wor
slippers elect their candidate this me but he
it will be an entering wedge for himself in 1860.
The issue to be decided next fail is whether the prin
cples of the Nebraska BILL the right Of the people Of tbs
Territories, as OF the States to manage their domesti
affairs, shal be maintsned whether the aboonists
shall In disregard Of the cons uon compel thu people
Of the Territories to accept such municipal lava he
residents of those Territories shall dictate This will
be broadly laid down at Cincinnati.
Mr.. Pierce Is ceuded into the belief that he will ne
ceve the nomination. Although every person outside OF
the White House sees how absurd such belief is. yet
Pierce has doubts His only toades
needy adventurers ard camp followerswho bespatter
him with praise before his face laugh him behind his
back, and upon all occasions him to sput money in
tttir purse
Most Of the Southern States will probably throw
complimentary vote for Pierce the ground that they
cannot do less after his fierce messages Of January But
these friends do not hesitate to ssy TIA.
if they believed that by voting any risk
would be Of nominating him, they would let the
compliment slide. At present pierces principal hacker
is Senator Hunter and the friends of that gentleman
ser he has eye to the chances of becoming the resdu
aIy leaatee, in the Brigadier Is unsuccessea.
Mr.. Buchanan's friends active, and there ia no
doubt he will enter the Convention among the strongest
ofthe candidates. He will be supported by large
Der of States, and any weakness is betrayed 1t will ps
because Of the udciousness OF Of his friends aid
the character Ct Others and not from any Of merit
in their candidate.
TIE article in the PennsyraniGn with which the Union
yesterday finds SO much fault, written by Colonel
ala D...L
the ground that Buchanan stronger than any Ct
other candidates, because rs is uncomntted to the
Nebraska BILL There Is to believe Mr. Buchan
has authorized this view. Col stsnbough, believe,
applicant for Office under PIERCE and did not
Give as lucrative posi- ion as he desired
Mr.. Buchsnsn's most for midable competitor viii
doubtedly be Judge Douglas. II the former has Rrr,

list of States given by one Of your correspondent,

serted, will throw their vote for Buchanan in the
Convention does injusis not only to that gentle
but to well ascertained facts It there stated tina.
among other States, Nj higan, Ohio, Iowa. Wisconsin
and Louisiana will throw their votes for Buchanan
their first choice No responsible here pretends that
this is the ALI the States named send delegates for
Douglas This the contest in Louisiana. and Mr..
Sidel Buchsnans friend was set ASIDE for Mr. Soule,
Douglass advocate. Again. 1t is asserted that Bucha
nan is the second choice Of nearly all the Southern
States From personal intercourse with the democa lie
members from the Southern States, assert tina. this
is mistake Even South Carolina, should it send
delegates after the first vote win 60 fer Douglas
very Ingenious attempts being mads to class Doas
las snd Pierce together, representing them a.
bosom friends No possible benefit can arise from
such misrepresentation. Judge Douglass posis,n
towards Mr. Pierce is well understood het,.
He is indep 1ent; It is Characteristic Of TIE
pAn, and is regarded by Pierce with the utmos.
Jealousy During the summer Pierce told several pa:
that Douglas would support him for . renomius
