THE DALLAs-CLARENDoN TREATY.


Washington correspondents represent the Dans''
Clarendon Treaty to be in danger OF deieat III Tue

ton Is obnoxious to legitimate criticism mus IN
the hrst place, it involves the principle OF partner
ship Of power with England in the affairs Of thiS con-
tinent-sn objection which strikes at the root OF the
Monroe doctrine, and which implies departure
from the established policy OF the government
Again, it seems to acknowledge the legitimacy oi lhe

to the policy of the British proteotorate' lheSe are
radical objections aud in connection with the TACT that
the treaty will operate to the prejudice OF American

pugnanes with which men OF sound PrlpoiPieS ana

assertion that very few persons Wouls approve .ne

Administration justified in the attempt to remedy The
defects of the Caytoa-Bulwer treaty, rather than
venture upon the bold, but perlous experiment OF
repeal of the Convention.
Conc.dinp the wisdom of the policy, there can be
hut little difference of opinion touching the details oil
the Dallas Clarendon treaty II this treaty be the
hest thing allowed us under the circumstances, we
must acknowledge that it is very we'll done, and Ia
adequate to its purpose 1t clearly defines and limits
the pretsnsons Of British power in Central America,

LOOK AT THE TWO PICTURES

The following appears in late number Of the
Louisville Democrat
at i. .aid that there are now in the limits OF Gin
Gnnat, full three hundred negro families IN sta,e
of utter des,ituton and want. This does not include
cases Of individual suffering. but whole families, num-
bsrinr from ave to tea poor miserable creatures in
sach house All OF these objects of charity, de.
pending wholly upon the various charitable 1n.tlu' P
a deplorabls picture of the life of the negroes in
free eity and Tree State, where such intense SYM
pathy is supposed to exist for the downtrodden race
What contrast to this is exhibited here in the
city of Louisville the ceure of slavery as it is de-
noininated You might search the city and county
from one s,treme to the ether and not find solitary
case of destitu,ion and want among slave popula
tion. Such facts 80 are here presented speak for
tbem,eyes and expose the faacy of the cant of the
sbolitonists, who pretend to consider the slave
holders az the worst people on earth.
