THURSDAY, May 1.

THURSDAY, May 1.
Mr.. WELLER introduced a resolution calling
for the correspondence between the United States
and Nicaragua not hitherto communicated.
Mr. WELLER defended General Walker. He
read letter, dated April l6, from Walker in which
he said that he had intercepted the British mail,
from which he learned that the naval commander
on that station had orders to furnish 1000 stand
of arms to the Costa Ricans. Also, that active
sympathy, in various ways, is manifested by the
British.
He then urged that the United States should in
terfere in behalf of her citizens now in Nicaragua
whom the Costa Ricans, backed by the British
government, were now prosecuting all in their
power. The British government had been caught
in furnishing arms TO Costa Rica.
Mr. SEWARD said that he had introduced
resolution calling all the information that the
oution just read does three weeks ago. but that the
President had not seen fit to comply with the re-
quest. The passage of this resolution would only
enforce the request made in the former.
He thought this interruption of intercourse be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific States showed that
we must have communication through our own
country. 1t was left to us to choose between the
Pacific Railroad or seizing the countries through
which we now pass.
Mr.. DOUGLAS upheld the Walker government,
and thought the United States should sympathize
with that government.
Mr.. WELLER said he thought a response had
been received. As no answer had been sent in by
the President he supposed it for good reasons.
Mr.. BUTLER opposed the resolution, and also
any interference in behalf of any military adventu-
rer, which may involve an issue of peace or war;
The resolution was then withdrawn.
number of committee reports were submitted
The bill surrendering that part of the Cumber-
land road to the State of Illinois, which passes
through that State, was taken up and passed.

DemocratsI Attention !

The National Era of this morning thus calls
upon its followers in the House of Representatives
to pass the Washington City Election bill:
The ELECTION BILL FOR PIE DIsrRIcT.-Last
Friday the Senate passed bill relating to elec-
tions in the District Of Columbia-the same az that
agreed upon by the Committee OF the House, but
not yet reported. Itproposes no change of the
existing law defining the qualification Of voters but
regulates the duties of commissioners, prescribes
penalties for neglact of duty, and provides for ad
dtona precincts for voting, and opening the polls
at seven o'clock, instead OF ten. The bill is in
tended to correct existing evils to secure the pur
ty of the elective franchise, and In unexceptonable
As our annual election viii take place the first
Monday in June, we trust that the House will pass
the bill without delay. II is fair and just mea-
sure, and we do hope that every anti-Nebraska
member will resist any attempt to mix it up with
general politics, or with any Of the questions in
controversy between parties. There are some ques-
tions which concern us in the District alone, and
this il one Of them. Let it be decided on Its mer-
its, apart from extraneous considerations.
The Democratic members of the House will per
ceive from the above extract, that the leader Of
the Abolition party in this city, is extremely anx
ious for the passage Of this bill. Why is this
Evidently because he believes that through its
passage the Abolitionists may at distant day OBJ

inhabitants are nearly all abotionists, and since
the organization of the present House of Repre-

city has increased by at least fifty PERSONS who

II, therefore, the Democrats of the House of
Representatives wish to aid the Abolitionists in
obtaining possession OF the District Of Columbia
to be be used hereafter at their pleasure they will
