ton; secured in her ancient boundaries and with
4 new patent to her nationality, endorsed by this
great and magnanimous nation. With the ele-
ments OF wealth and progress now within her
grasp, what may we not expect from a wise and
liberal policy from her ruiers-surely we NAV
reasonably look for Improvement at home and
respect from abroad.
Her struggle has hitherto been for doubtful
existence, consuming her strength, and each year
sinking her deeper in ruin and In barbarism At
one time the prey Of disgusting civil broils and
at another bringing before the rod of lawless
invader: But now purified by trials, and tested
by advessity, she has, under the guidance of two
OF her patriotic sons, risen above misfortune and
with heroic valor and singular forttude expelled
the despoiler, and brought order out of chaos:
and effected a treaty securing the future with the
most powerful civilized nation on earth Mica

Under this treaty she may breathe secure /: the
means and energy hitherto expended on defence

and develope the astonishing resources nature
has given her. Ruin will now give place to i'm.

guid pulse Of trade will revive, until her cocoa
ana cohee her indigo and sugar, and her valuable
woods and precious metals shall lind a mar ket In
every mart, to enrich her Golfers and add to her
Importance among christian nations.
Let Nicaragua be true to herself and the future
will be true to her. TO secure her liberties. she
must educate her children, punish every viola
tion of her constitutional rights and discard all

If we interpret the treaty correctly, the object
In making it, on the part of the United States,
was TO put an end to the troubles In Central
America, and to restore and secure her influence
among the Central American Republics while
she opened and secured to herself the great high
way to her Pacific possessions. Nv the recogni-
tion Of Senior lrisarri and the formation of this
treaty, she has performed the and secured
the other. But, In doing so, she has bound her
self by treaty obligations, which are higher and
more binding than constitutional law itself to
defend the avenue of transit through Nicaragua
rom every foe aud every quarter which, in its
effect is all that we have said above Should the
line be INSTRUCTED from civil war ; should COSTA
RIGA seize it, or Walker invade it, and Nicaragua

United states. under the stipulationS of this
treaty, shall interpose, and, as a friendly ally

BLOWN OvER.--The little whrlwind at the
North against the action OF tho President on
the Kansas-constitutiOn question has already
blown over. Nine.tenths Of it had its origin in
the Misrepresentation of parties here, intended
to defeat what were understood to be the views
OF the President concerning the printing of
Congress. The nominal Democratic journals
at tho North still persisting in trying to make
1t appear that storm really exists, are noto-
riously in the intrigue to embarrass the Ad
mini'tration's future in the way to which we

course on the misrepresentation of facts which
the ''plunder'' cabal contrive to get into dis
tant journals; while not few of them profess
here-on the spot-to be devoted to the success
OF the Presidents views upon the Kansas ques-
ton. The cloven foot however, will stick out
now and then, in spite Of all efforts to conceal it.
