WASHINGTON, February 6, 1856.
It is generally believed here now that Marcy has
consented to recognize Walkers government in Mica
ragua It is not improbable that this is So Every
body else has known for several months that Walkers
government IN fait ncconspl-but spoils-lov-
ing Premier with characteristic celebrity has just made
the discovery.
1t is a matter Of doubt, however, whether Col
Parker Fl. French will be received its representa-
tive. There said to be difficulties in the way
arising out of certain transactions Col French had
with this government while an officer in our service
do not know what they are, whether there is any
reasonable ground for the anticipated action Of Marcy
in the premises. It is very certain though that our
Premier will avail himself of any hitch, no matter
how trivial to delay or prevent the plain duty Of our
government in respect Of this Ncaraguan revolution
The past history of this country, exhibiting it has
done, the Warmest sympathy any people struggling
for liberty, should be sufficient precedent for
present action. If we may encourage as hare en-
couraged the Greek, the Pole and the Hungarian,
their endeavors to secure rational liberty may al
SO, much more consistently, give the sanction Of
approval to an embryo republic upon our own conti-
nent and with institutions fashioned afterour
own Such seems to me to be the suggestion of COM
mon sense and justice, whatever may be the interna
tona lawand if we fail to do what is SO eminentIy
required of us above all other nations we may Justly
subject ourselves to the derison of the great Euro
pean powers which keep up, in this respect, with the
spirit Of the age.
The election of Banks as Speaker has created con
siderable excitement. 1t was result not at all ex-
pected by the conservative members Of the House
The northern Known othings had, on the day before
voted for Mr. Aiken When the test came they voted
for Fuller and thus indirectly aided in the election Of
Banks. Their conduct excites great Indignation.
For the first time since the adoption of the constit-
tion we have Speaker elected on sectional issue
do not anticipate any immediate danger from this
resu-but there is doubt that it has revived con
sderaby the sinking fortunes of Black Republicanism
! This party will now make bold stand for the next
Presidency. If it does not succeed, as think it will
not it must go into dissolution it should succeed
then may be many years before it can be defeated
But have an abiding confidence in the patriotism
and good sense of the people, and their loyalty to thu
Constitution and the Union. Their sober secont
thought will frOWn down treason and fanaticism ami
ultimately restore the reign of order and of peace.
e General Cullom, an ex-menber Of Congress frof
+ Tennessee, was elected Clerk by large majority
Z His opposition to the Nebraska bill in the last Cor
=, gress commended him to the Northern member
while his locality and his political principles rendere
him acceptable to the members of the American part
! from the South. The old Sergeant-at Arms, NJ
e Glosshrenner, was reelected.
o As the time approaches for the beginning of tt
y Presidential campaign, the excitement increases
e intensity The chances of our valiant Brigadier fc
q being his own successor, have been considerabl
frightening i'll the last few weeks His message, il
tended to advance his prospects in the South, ha
s accomplished its purpose and by sending Dallas
England he has not only removed that gentleman fro1
l. his path but has gained the good will of all of Ii
friends There are, perhaps, some hundred and fifi
y to two hundred asprants for the oce-or since Il
We Democracy have made obscurity the great test
N fitness for Presidential honor every crossroad poll
n clan has fixed his eye upon The prize but the conte
e will probably be narrowed down to Pierce Buchana
or Hunter and Davis. If none of these can be non
i'd mated under the two-third rule then some one, lii
ho Pierce remarkable only for his previous nsgnican
and obscurity, will receive the Democratic imp7im
H. tuT We live in strange and curious times.
d. An effort will be made at the Philadelphia Conye
al vention the 22d of this month"; to postpone IL
nomination of the American candidate until the mon
of May June. If the nomination is made on ii
Va 22d, the nominee will most probably be George Lay
k of New York-or Live Oak George,' as his frien,
t. delight to call him. If it is postponed Mr. Fimo
'p will probably be nominated. The whole South is fl
w him excepting, perhaps, Kentucky. The effort
is postpone will be made by the South and resisted
the North.
Sc Seward of New York, and Foot of Vermont ha,
Il both made speeches the Central American que
5s tion and have gone even beyond Gen. Cass in the
es bellicose declarations. The President was yalial
Il enough in his message; but the Senatorial aspran
for the Presidency seem to be even more So We are
is fighting people-Marcy alone excepted ESSEX.
