upon the Lthmus taking any measures that will
enable them 70 keep up with "the rapid political,
commercial and social development of tue ma
ritime and industrial nations" their whole past
history demonstrates their utter fncapacity for
such a course. Day after day, and year after
year. not only the communities Of Central Anne
rica but the mixed breed nations of all Spanish
America, have exhibited rapid decadence in
their industrial and social civilization. The
white element is rapidly being absorbed aud ex
tinguished by the large preponderance of infe-
rior races, and with the white element every
thing except hollow imitation Of the forms of
civilization is disappearing. If our govern
ment will not accept the mission and the destiny
that is before it, it must give way to the fill
busters; for imperative reasons of internal as
well as external policy demand the extension of
our influence southwark.

Practical DEFEAT OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE
SALE OF THE PARK.--Although the Board of Al
dermen have adopted the report of their COM
mittee in favor of locating the Post Office in
the lower OF southern end of the Park, the con-
tract may be regarded as practically at an end.
The opinion of the Corporation Counsel coin
Gliding with the views that we expressed yester-
day, is distinctly opposed to the conveyance of
the property by the Common Council, unless
the city receives due equivalent for it, Less
than the fair marketable value of the land
would not, he says, meet the requirements of
the act passed in April last; and as the sum Of
fered by the government represents but an
eighth part Of that value, it is to be presumed
that no further efforts will be made to consum-
mate the bargain. Another appeal to the Lee
gislature on the subject would be met by such
determined resistance that we have no fear Of
its power being invoked to wrest from the city
this valuable portion of its estate

A HINT TO COMMODORE PAULDiNG.-We sup-
gest to Commodore Paulding that his arrest Of
Gen. Walker may, perhaps, be justified upon a
plea which he has overlooked. When it was nm
derstood at Washington that Walker had es.
capped with his expedition, Yrisarri, the Minis
ter of the Martinez government of Nicaragua.
was formally received by the President of the
United States, which act involved the formal
acknowledgment of the said Martinez govern
ment, and the outlawry of Walker. Secondly,
a treaty was concluded between Yrisarri and
General Cass, binding our government, among
other things, to protect and secure the neutrali-
ty Of the Nicaragua Transit route. Now the
question arises, is not the act of Commodore
Paulding justified by these proceedings between
the Nicaragua government and our own? Does
not the said agreement bind us to keep the
Transit route clear of all flibusters? We sub
init the hint in behalf OF Commodore Paul ding.
who seems to be in tight place. Let him hand
over the case to the Hon. Caleb Cushing. now
in the practice OF the law at Boston, and he NAV
turn it to some account; for, if we mistake not.
Gen. Cushing's opinion of Walker is about the
same as that of the Commodore

default, the refusal of the free State party to
vote does not impair the validity Of the result.
This may be true, in a strictly legal sense; but
we suspect that if, in the approaching election
ordered by the free State Legislature, q vote
largely exceeding the Lecompton constitutional
vote shall be cast against that constitution, the
fact will have an important weight with the
President. That point will now be shortly set
tied. Perhaps on Monday next some CLEANS Of
light may be thrown upon the subject in Con-
gress. We are satisfied, in the interval, to
know that the farce is coming to focus.
