Since the time when Gen. William Walker
first issued decree. toleratng slavery in Mica
ragua, the Black Republican press of the United
States has pursued him unnterrUP'ediy with the
most viruIent aud malignant abuse. Even his
heavy disasters, personal aud political do not
serve in the slightest degree 10 soften their AMI
81 ,sty or qualify their resentment AT every
stage Of h. progress from New Orleans to Wash

ents of Walker should be bfibed by the lnrgesses
of Vanderbilt to desert his standard and betruy
him into the hands of the enemy. They do not
cease their prosecutions even in the houi OF
Walkers EXTREMIST misfortune. Crushed aud
overthrow as he is by an unhnly combination OF
Americans. Englishmen, and Central American
savages they ready, even now, TO vex him
with petty annoyanees, and, if possible impose
"a restraint upon his personal liberty. We are
informed that Vanderbilt awaits him in Wash
