GEN. WALKER ON HIS TRAvEIs.-We per-
ceive that General Walker has got back to New
Orleans, and tina. he has left the impression all
along his journey southwark that he will soon
be back in Nicaragua, and re-conquer all that he
has lost there 1t is also given out that he ex-
poets to return with the good wishes Of the ad-
ministration at Washington. Upon this point,
however, we apprehend that he is counting with
out his host; for we are Of opinion that in the in
tervsl to the meeting of Congress, Mr.. Buchanan
will take care that nothing is done on his part
touching Central American affairs to afford a
pretext for complaints and accusations of bad
faith from my Lord Palmerston. But we regard
all this preaching Of Walkers early return to
Nicaragua as sheer humbug. He has lost his
prestige, he has exhausted the resources of his ad-
mirers among our flibustering capitalists; he
has loet the enthusiasm of his followers, and 20
we can have no other opinion than this-that the
destiny of 1.-The gray eyed man" in Nicaragua
ended with his capitulation at Rivaa

COMING UP BRAvELY 70 THE REsCUE.-The
conservative democratic journals of the South
are coming UP bravely to the defence Of the cd
ninistraion and its Kansas policy, a. illustrated
by Gov. Walker, sgainst the attacks Of the
Southern secession wing of the party Read the
unequivocal article which we give to-day from
the Richmond Examiner, with the significant
caption Will the South Countenance the
Fraud?" The fraud alluded to is that democrat
izing device of the Southern political niger
drivers to smuggle Kansas into the Union as a
slave State by Withholding her State constitution
from vote of the people of the Territory.
We like this talk of our Richmond cotempo-
rary and we are gratifed to perceive that the
Enquirer has also come out squarely and fairly to
the defence of the honest policy of Gov. Walker.
It is but few days ago that the New YORK
HERALD stood single-hEnded against these South
ern ultras and their demoralizing movements. It
was because we believed Gov. Walker to be
right, and faithfully representing the Presidents
inaugural, and so we did not care to wait
for Cabret Council upon the subject.
But as the secessionists have challenged
the administration to speak, and as it
has spoken, we see how good thing it
is TO have President who knows what be is
about, and who being convinced of the justice OF
his policy, has the steadiness aud consistency of
an honest mau in standing by it. We see how
speedily the voice Of the administration in behalf
of Walker finds al echo throughout the country.
The desperate ard rash young man who con
ducts the Richmond South still Insists upon it
that ''sooner or later, the President must wash
his hands Of Walker" and the Columbus (Geor-
gia) Times and Sentinel assures us that 'if the ad
ministration stands by Walker the Georgia demo-
cracy will not stand by the administration" but
all this is mere moonshine. This ultra Southern
Kansss plot against Mr.. Buchanan has been nip
ped in the bud. and thus a formidable sectional
rebellion projected against the administration is
reduced at the first blow to mere corporal's
guard of restless and reckless agitators. How
glorious, in this respect, is the strength of Mr.
Buchanan, as centrasted with the weakness Of
poor Pierce!

MORE ABotr SCREW vEssErs.- fhe ia'eH'
accounts are that three hundred ocean s'eaon
vessels are being built in England. l. rec
hundred ocean steam vessels-suppoeing thu
only one-half Of them go into the Atlantic
tsde-will entirely revolutionize our CONNER
cial intercourse with Europe. They will compel
sailing ships to restrict Themselves to the carry-
ing of breadstuffs, cotton, timber, ashes aud
other bulky articles; and will entirely mouopo-
lise the business of carrying passengers, specie,
and light valuable or perisbable freight The
first and most important effect Of the change
will be to transfer the most lucrative aud most
important branch of our maritime trade to our
great rival, England.
That England must become the carrier of
goods ard passengers on the Atlantic, with a
steam fleet of twenty-five vessels to our one is
too plain for demonstration. AS it is the British
steamers are to ours as four to one; next year
they will be ten to one; and the year after
twenty. five. They will regulate the tariff OF
charges, monopolise the business, make the At
lantic, 20 to speak, an English lake. In the
event of war, they will seal up our ports and
sweep our sailing vessels from the face of the
ocean.
What tben are we to do to obviate contin-
gency which would necessarily involve certain
degree of national decline, and general retro
gression?
We are told to build screw vessels But it is
not certain whether wooden screws will answer,
so as to compete with foreign iron vessels; some
thpbuilders say they will others that they
won't; ard the point is left in doubt. There
seems little reason to doubt but iron vessels are
the best for screw purposes. Why can we not
build iron vessels? Is there no possibility Of
stimulating, by a legitimate demand, the pro-
duction of iron so as to bring it nearly on level
in point of price, with that of England There
is iron enough in the country; cannot our ma
chinery in come degree compensate for the in
creased cost of labor?
We desire to draw the particular attention of
all persons concerned in shipbuilding to these
facts; we desire them to ponder them with the
attention that is due to subject on which our
national progress may hinge. Some remedy
must be found, or the decline of the United
States may have begun.

REUNION or THE New York DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.-One Of our democratic contemporaries is
appealing Justify for a reunion Of the wrangling
divided and subdvided New York democracy
and this appeal is especially addressed to Edward
Cooper and Wilson Small, each the Chairman Of
a rival Democratic General Committee Of this
city and county, and each claiming TO be the or
thodox article. But our anxious democratic CO.
temporary misses the main point, which is the
treachery to the party and the administration,
exhibited in the demoralizing trickery for the
control of Tammany Hall, Of such wire-workers
a. Mesrs. Fowler, Sanders Hart, Rynders,
sckles, and others Of that set of practical SYM
psthsers with the Seward oligarchy. Until these
men are brought to the stool Of repentance, or
punished for their folly, there can be no reunion
Of the New York democracy, and, meantime, Il is
ridiculous to be singing psalms upon the subject

Interesting from Was;iington-rhe Three
Isthmus Questions,

The interesting intelligence from Washington
in relation to the Panams question, and that
which we publish this morning in regard to
Central America and Tebauntepee, is not with

rate and independent of each other, and emauat-

interests, all concentrating before our govern
ment, and seeking their present solution and fi-
ture stability from its decision and countensuce
are palpsble evidences OF the growth Of our
moral power, and the extension Of our influence
in all questions on this continent They are but

the Isthmus Transit routes
The recent edyices from New G. rarada give a
very satisfactory aspect to the questions pending
with that country. President Ospina is evidently
animated by very just and friendly spirit. not
only in regard to the settlement Of the Panama
difficulty, but also a. regards the whole tone Of
his policy toward this country. The Granadian
Congress had taken more cool view Of the posi-.
ton Of our government, and was about to confer
upon the President full authority to arrange our
claims and at Washington it vas conhsei tly
anticipated that Gen. Herran would soon take
some steps toward a settlement. such course

SOUTHERN MEMBERS SPEcULATINa IN WESTERN
LASps-we published so@e days ago an article
from Chicago paper giving List Of Southern
government officials engaged in Western land
speculations (free States), beginning with Vice
President Breckenridge. We publish this morn
ing letter from St Paul, Minnesota, from which
we learn that Mr.. Aiken and Mr.. Orr, Of South
Carolina, and quite number of other Southern
members of Congress, are investing pretty large
ly in the lands and town lots Of the hourishing
territory of Minnesota, soon to be free State,
and with a winter climate which would dill q
ngger under any covering less than three over
coats. Let the Southern ultras look to this bust
ness There may be treason to the South in it,
Who knows?
Per contra, We are informed that Senator Big
Ter, Of Pennsylvania, has been out to Kansas
'prospec.iDg;" but that instead Of buying lands
there be has been making extensive purchases
In the border counties of Missouri. Gets them
cheaper there, no doubt, than in Kansas, and
buys, perhaps, under the idea that Missouri will
next turn up free State. No wonder, however,
that negro slavery has failed in Kansas when

are not yet informed, and in view of the great
interests that have been arrayed against each
other in this question, this information would be
u matter of public interest.
We are glad to see these questions thus con-
centrating round our government for its de,ision,
for we know that its judgment will be favorable
to the interests of the whole commercial world
1t IL animated by no selfish and exclusive policy,
desiring only the stability of peace on the Ameri-
can isthmuses and the free transit of all nations.
The pureuit of this end will be favored by the
discussion of these questions at Washington, for
the style of diplomatists and diplomacy that we
have had in the Spanish American countries has
teen anything bat good one. Not but what
our representatives were very good men in their
way and in their proper place, but they seem to
have bad a peculiar gift of doing things in a
wrong way, and thus defeating their own wishes.
This has been owing to our practice of sending
there men utterly unacquaiuted with Spanish
habits of thought, Spanish history, and even of
the Spanish language. This, We hope, will be re-
meditd by Mr. Buchanan.

The RIOTS IN THE SEVENTEENTH WARD.-lt
appears from the evidence taken in the case of
the late John Miller that the late riot in the
Seventeenth ward was directly chargeabls to the
mismanagemept and brutality of the Metropoli-
tan police. 1t seems that the men of this force
went about the streets before the riot, driving
everybody they met into the houses-though the
night was eultry and confinement within doors
very unwholesome; that they made no scruples
to club every one who refused to obey their or
ders, and split the skulls of several who merely
asked to be allowed to stard on the sidewalk to
breathe the fresh air; in word, that they acted
with such ferocious violence that the people
of the ward would have required to be wo-
men not to have rebelled. The riot followed;
firearms were used call was made upon the
military; and ever since that time the Seven
teenth ward has been in measure. in state of
siege, and the police have not dared to show
themselves as patrolmen or to issue forth from
their station house.
This is the net result of the administration of
our police affairs by the men appointed from
Albany; at this unparalleled pitch of anarchy
have they landed us after week. work. II
seems that the only guarantee we have against
riot, robbery and bloodshed is the Seventh Reg
ment and our other militia forces which are al
most necessarily under arms.
A more complete combination of pusillanimity
and recklessness than the conduct of these new
police it were difficult to imagine. They are
afraid of sending out patrolmen, though the Law
requires them to do so; but they have not the
prudence to avoid riot, when no police autho-
rity Of the least experience would run the least
risk of the kind. They will club poor German
on the sidewalk for breathing the fresh air; but
from bard Of Dead Rabbits they will run quick
ly away.
So far as we can Judge, the Germans Of the
Seventeenth ward are quiet peaceable people
who only desire to be let alone; they do not be
long TO the turbulent classes of the city.
