| WASHINGTON ITEMS -The reports sent from
Washington protesting to give the views Oh the
Administration upon the arrest OF walker, AL"
what it intends doing. etc, are proving. ~ we
anticipnted the mere exaggerations OF nliiouster
,umurs. The New York Times correspondent
says:
"The tone of the Administration, relative to
Commodore Pauding, is materially modified
Captain Engle has received permission to delay
his return to Aspinw wall until the Goth ct Janua

sacrificed or theoreiic lily sustained. The fres
dent indicates q purpose 10 send speclal mes
sage to Congress on the subject on Monday, bur
its character has not transpred. II is probably
not yet settled"
The Herald correspondent writes to the same
effect
1.-The Cabinet had a long session to-day. The
principal subject before hen was, understand,
to believe, from tile lights before Inc, that The
Administration will, under the circumstances,
endorse the course pursued by Panl'l'ng; tor un.
der the recent treaty, the government pledged
itself to project and secure the neutrality OF the
Nicaraguan Transit route; and upon this view
ot the subject the Cunlno,lure's course will be
FULLY justified, and if am not greatly mistaken,
instructions will he sent to Com. Panlding (" keep
that louie open, whether blockaded 10y fllibus-
tiers or what not 1t is believed by the Cabinet
That Nicaragua has ratified the new treaty,
hongh no official communication has been re-
ceved on the subject"

SPEECH OF HON. 1. T. HATCH.

We publish to-day the speech delivered in the
House of Representative by Mr. Hatch, on the in
teresting and important subject Of internal
merce having special reference to the great trade
of the Lakes This subject is one of vast interest,
and is handled with decided ability by Mr.. Hatch.
We have in the United States constitutional free
trade In respect to matters Of business, this fact
10 often overlooked, and the impression imbbed that
we are one people Independent of the federal au-
thority. The internal commerce Of this country,
which has grown up noiselessly and suddenly, be-
cause it is little subject to- and not much influenced
BY legislation, is grown to be the most powerful
bond of union between the States. It is cord
which encircles the whole Union, and holds by its
almost infinite integuments the parts together. We
need not review this position well presented by Mr.
Hatch, which we commend to the special reading Of
all who would examine subject little understood,
but which, at an early day, cannot fail to enlist
general attention.

When tho patient RECEIVERS from an exhaustng
fever and his powers of mind begin to return all
rejoice at it species of triumph disease and
death. We are not prepared to say, with absolute
confidence, that political anti-slaveryism is passing
but we feel that the time is soon coming when the
patriotic Judgment of the people will be restored,
and the full health and manhood of those 30 long a
fected with that disease re-sstablished. We hear
little now of the rawlings of the madmen on this sub.
ject There ia evidently less humanity to be saved
and protected by voting ut elections and hearing
abolition lectures The ulas getting more ultra
and demoniacal; and this is good sign. The press
sckens of its usual assaults upon slavery and the
slave oligarchy.' Outlaws in Kansas are denounced.
We hear of no more mad schemes to stop the wheels
Of the government. What is in the wind Are wo
approaching an .. era Of good feelngf' or do these
signs only indicate an approaching Storm We can
readily see that, meeting the large foreign drafts
made upon the patriotism of the people, the time
may not be considered suspicious for utterng trea
sonabe sentiments against the Union. These things
will have their weight. Meanwhile, may not be
advised of the progress of the diplomatic consulta
tons between the republicans and Americans? We
feel anxious to have the problem solved, whether
party must be, born, and grow into manhood or
whether it may be established by consultation and
resoutons7 1t is certain that principle can be
originated by tho latter process; it remains to be
seen whether party of principles be SO orig
mated. The Ohio and Kentucky branches Of the OPP
position think it cannot. They insist upon regular
birth, growth, and manhood, and we confess to
leaning to this idea.
Meantime, what is to become of the purely negro
element of the republican party-the Exeter Hall
men of that organizatonY
We have difficulties occasionally in ranks !;
but as our people uniformly act from principle, we
find little difficulty in bringing them into cordial
union. We are then, of course, benefited by free
discussion. Free discussion, however, would utterly
defeat the work of reconstructing into one party
such men as GiddiDgs, Seward, Greeley, Humphrey
Marshall Winter Davis and others, North and
South.
