0-F The Lafayette Courier, after quoting
one Of our articles upon the election of Uni
ted States Senators, remarks, in manner as
courteously as we could expect from such q
source.
So says the american" editor of the Evans
vile Journal, and he is about as near right as
could be expected from one of his ilk The
Republicans of Indiana have as much right to
a United States Senator, as the old liners have.
In refusing, therefore. to 60 into an electi on,
unless the old liners will agree first 20 the
election of whomever the Republicans may
agree upon, the Republican Senators are sim
ply contending for their rights which they are
in duty bound to demand at all hazards. The
old liners have no right to the two Senator's,
and all the State officers; and if we were in
the State Senate, they never should have
them by our vote, or with our consent.
We should like to know where this right is
found, The laws and the Constitution declare
that these officers shall be elected by major
ity of the votes Of the Legislature; and the
Courier's party has not a majority in either
branch. They are in a minority in both
Houses; though large minority-but large
nlhOTlIy HAS ITO lHoTe TiSuI W eHIoTce It's VIII,
than small one. The American party have
few members, and can with just as good a
right under the Laws and Constitution de-
mand the election of one Of their party and to
stick to their right, as the Courier's party with
nearly half of the Senate. And perhaps from
indications they may assert the right and de
fend it. But we do not recognize any politi-
cal rights, in any party or person, but such as
are conferred by the Law and Constitution of
the State. We know no higher law in our
political duties-nor claim higher law for
our political rights.

The Last Treaty.

Articles of treaty between this Govern
ment and Great Britain, concerning matters
in controversy in Central America, recently
entered into by the diplomatic representa-
tives of both governments, Mr.. Dallas and
Lord Clarendon, at London, were published
at Washington, on the 2Sth December.
i The treaty, if such it may be designated,
contains nothing of extraordinary interest,
except a provision which pledges both ma
tons to strict neutrality, so far as it concerns
the internal affairs of the independent
States now recognized; and mutual protection
to the Republics of Nicaragua and Costa Ri
ca, the governments to which the terms of
treaty are directly extended. The protection
intended. is qualified to extend only to the
maintenance of their acknowledged bounda-
ries, and commercial privileges, such as are
reserved to Great Britain and the U. States.
The provisions of the Bulwer treaty of 1850,
were insisted upon by Mr.. Dallas, and acknow-
lodged by Clarendon, although not essentially
under discussion.
The first and most singular article of the
treaty, is the apparent concession on the part
of Mr.. Dallas, of the right of defining boun-
daries between the Central American States
to Great Britain and the Republic of Ncara-
qua. Why our own government is not to be
represented in that commission, does not ap-
pear. The adjustment of boundaries hitherto
having been the chief question in controversy,
it seems like an important concession on the
part of our minister, to confde trust of such
magnitude, solely, to the other contracting
parties, The Mosquito Indians are secured a
liberal amount of territory, which is also to
be defined by the aforesaid commissioners.
They are secured the right to make their own
laws by such councils or legislature as they
may establish, so long as they ccnfine them
selves to the territory designated to them, but
have no right to cede their possessions to any
other State. All parties are precluded from
trafficking with the Indians in the article OF
spirituous liquors. No duties are to be charg
ed on imports or exports at any of the ports
IN either Republic, except for tie purpose OF
maintaining light houses and other necessary
port safeguards to navigation and commerce
All cases of national disputes between Nj
caragua and Costa RIGA, which cannot be ami
cably adjusted by the parties themselves, are
to be settled by the arbitration of the United
States and Great Britain, who on any doubt
full point, shall be able to call for the decision
of third party. Should the treaty be approx
ed by the respective Governments, and its
stipulations enforced, it will operate highly
prejudicial to the ambitious hopes of Walker
and all other revoIutionists.

New Year. hoping the present. may be to them
as prolific as has been the past year. com

years since. When | contrast that with the
present time, am almost lost in establishment;

adopted the Young America principle, and are
marching on with railroad speed to greatness.
Science appears to be the order Of the day, for
with it man has girdled the earth, and has
even measured the immense plants that re-
solves in the Heaysns above. which shows it
has not been lurking in the simmering still,
over smoking ignorance, for it mounts high on
the mountain tops, where the naked granite
glitters like gold in the sun, where the storm
cloud broods and the thunder storms crash,
then far away out On the wide sea, where the
hurricane bowls music, and big waves roar,
yet science prevails and moves on in its on
ward course, until it reaches heaven of re-
pose.
Again I wish you all happy New Year,

remember that our race are created by and

no position should allow US to overlook those

THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.

CIscISsArI. Monday, Jan. ), 1857.
The Ohio Legislature convened in adjourned Ses-
,iou to-day. The Hon. Lester Taylor was elected
President pro TEN of the Senate. Both branches.
after the reading of the Governors Message, adjourned
til Wednesday to make way for the grand iestva
tomorrow night in honor of the opening OF the new
State House.
The Message is mainly devoted to State affairs;
recommends the organization of a Board OF Railroad
Commissioners for the supervision and continuation OF
operatons on the roads, the resumption OF the Geo.
logical Survey; provisions for the public debt; shows
that the expenses Of the fiscal year ending November
last were less by over $3.50 900 than the year proceed
rg; recommends tho energetic prosecution OF the pub
lie works revision Of the militia laws, and the laws re-
ating 10 married women and urges increased Judicial
compensation.
The Governor thinks Ohio should give expression to
ts wishes and demand retrenchment and reform in the
administration of the National Government. Within
the last two months several appeals from Ohio emf
grants to Kansas have been received asking protection
and aid letter had been addressed to Gov. Geary
in their behalf Ohio was entitled 10 demand for her
citizens emigrang to the Territories free ingress and
egress by the ordinary routes and complete protection
from INVASION usurpaiion and lawess violence IL the
General Government refuses, the Governor does not
doubt the right duty of the State TO interfere on
good grounds. He hopes the worst il over and thinks

New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-01-06

We present herewith drafts Of bills for the reform
of our City Charter for the renovation OF our
Police system, and for the prevention Of frauds at
elections, for which We are indebted TO the clear
head and practiced pen Of Mr. Joseph Blunt.
Tboygh they embody improvements which have
been suggested by others, their authorship, as
whole, rests with Mr. Blunt alone. We believe
one or two Committees are now at work Oh the
sane subject, whose conclusions will OF course
soon be made public. Let all possible light be shed
on the matter, 90 that the best may be promptly
and confidently done. Mr. Blnnt's plan has at
less. this recOmmendation-it has no party object,
and no party origin. Though its author was one
of the foremost and most energetic in inauguratng
the Republican movement in our State, he has held
no Office for many years, and probably was never
connected with our Municipal administration The
objects which he aims at are honest elections, eco
nomical government efficient repression OF crime,
and police Independent of partisan control To
Indicate the value of the reforms he proposes, let
these samples s1bce; BY abolishing the Ward
Assessors. and deTolving the distribution of the
burdens of taxation upon single Board OF five
impartial members, he insures greater equality 10
taxation and saving of some so, 900 year to the
City. by the substitution for our present BureauX
J. for the Collection of Taxes, 2. for the Collection
of ArreorS of Taxes 3. for The Collection OF
Assessments and 4, for the election Of arrears Of
Assessments, of single Bureau for all those col
lections, he caves the city at least 100000 per
apnum, and at the same time renders great ser
vice to citizens paying these several charges, or
wishing to be sure that title is free Of them, as
they must now hunt through four different Bureaux
to accomplish their end. The consolidation OF
these four Burcaux into one would be worth az
least Quarter of Million Dollars to our citizens;
but then II would cost half that amount to sundry
tenants of Circumlocution Offices who now receive
salaries and fees for contrivUg How Not to Do any
pubic service. And it is the influence of these,
and such AZ these which viii defeat the reforms
proposed by Mr.. Blunt ii they should, as We fear
they will se defeated.
Mr. Blunt's plan may have faults or defects; if
30 let them be exposed and corrected We want
the best possible framework Of governments for
even under that, with the mass of corruption and
ignorance which sways the destiDes Of our city,
it, municipal administration will be bad enough.
We msy make some further suggestions of reforms
10 be attempted hereafter.
