The following is letter addressed bv Gen WI
the Secretary of State, dated Oct. 20, 1857 !"
SIR 1T is currently reported that the ministers e
Costa Rlca and Guatemala have asked for the active ~
erpostlon Of the United States for the purpose of me-
venting me and my companions from returning to N;co
ragua This request it is further said is based on the
assumption that have violated or intend to violate b
neutrality laws of the United States ''V
The want of all official intercourse between the GOV
crnment of the United States and that of Nicoraouo
WILL hope be sufficient excuse for my ADDRESSING yo
on the faith of public report But the rumor Comes
i'll such form that am satisfied the Minister of Gno
temaa and Costa RIGA have attempted to dshonor the
Republic of Nicaragua in the eyes Of the United States
and am further convinced of this fact by decree Of
President Mora, dated at San Jose the 18th August
last and ordered to he communicated to the Diplomatic
corps generally.
The ministers of Costa Rca and Guatemala attomn,
to humate Nicaragua by presenting themselves to tb
United States as her protectors and guardians In h
half of the Republic OF which claim to be the rghtful
and lawful executive, protest most earnestly against
this assumption on the part of Costa RIGA and Gauto
mala and ask that the government of the United States
will MOI permit itself to be governed by such professions
on the part of these two Central American powers On
the contrary Is to be hoped that the United States
WILL by its conduct, assert and vindicate the ndpnan
dence of its sister Republic-thc Sovereign State Of
Nicaragua 1t is my duty further to say that the po
pie of Nicaragua have not consented to the military an
thority at present exercised over them bv the agents
Costa Rca and Gauamala and that they therefore can
not be held responsible for any influences of these la
states in the administration of the municipal affairs Of

ton they make to the United States concerning the
execution of its acts of Congress- desire to relieve
Nicaragua from any responsibility for oficios conduct

When politician once obtains public Office,
no persuasion can ever induce him to go to
work--at anything but nomination for anoth-

existence. Ifyou want to ruin good citizen

socially well man afterward. He may carry
around placards and tickets at the polls accept
asubordinate situation in the police or run err
rands for the doorkeerer of political meeting

enough TO emancipate himself from his morbid
appetite for the 'spoils,' and 60 to work like an
honest man and achristian. n
