| GREAT BRlrAIN-CFNTRAL AMERICAN TREATY
| The London Times has an article on the exs
pected failure of the United States Senate 10 ratifv

opened In the Of last year, h. sstiy in

consequence Of special mission from that repu blic
Ths treaty with the United States the work of
| an Amsricsn Minister, who had not tng left his own
country and must have been acquainted with its
ings and interests Our course received the appro-
bstiou of the American govern mt and of The Ams
| riean people. Yet 1t seems that party in the Le
gssture ot hesitate TO overthrow all that has
been done, and to endangsr the present friendly
| lstions between the two countries. Our hands are
fhsref ,re clean The direct interest Of Ea9land in
TIE aoe matter as rery snidH We care nothing bout

epgrosses the sttenton and interest Of The whole
people. We, the ether hsr d, r. gard such fer

Europesn policy. Hence, in all these questions the
Amerlc poiitican's aim is victory; that Of the

are The precise objections of the Anne icsu senate

after dec airing himse satisfied with the settlement

| The Post discussing the same subject, brings in
| the slavery question as follows:
| ore assigned for the reference Of the
| treaty-whether so assigned, correctly or incor-
rectlv--is quite consistent with the policy Of the
| co min ant party. This reason is that the treaty
has been referred back, not because it contains,
the WHOLE unfair siipula'ions bu. because another
treaty contains stipulation distaessul TO the domi
| nant power in America-the slave power. BY
| treaty with Honduras, in ceding the Bay islapds
| TO that republic, we make IL an express condition
that slavery shall be permitted in the ceded
Territory. This stipulation. we are told, is regard
ed in the light of an attempted limitation of the
extension of slavery southwark by the pro slave
| ~ party in the Senate. They fear or pretend to
far it is said that some limitation of like kind
| may urk in the treaty signed by Lord Clarendon
| and Mr. Dallas Now, it is manifest that strong
party in the United States do look forward to the
extension of slavery, wild though the project be-
| even far as tie Isthnus of Panama; and il
would be an act quite consistent with the conduct
of this party that the prohibit of slavery in the
Bay Islands should have led them refer the trea
| ty back to the Committee on Foreign Relations -
Blu. whether this be or whether some other rea-
may have led to the reference, we by no means
regard that reference as fatal to the ultimate adop-
| tien of the treaty
