Our Central American Policy.

The events Of the last few years, not to say
weeks demonstrate the absolute necessity of
abrogating the Clayton uwcr treaty, and Of
establishing new and thoroughly American
policy in our Central American relations.
If any doubt had heretofore existed in regard
to this great truth, the events Of the past few
weeks must have erased them from all candid
minds. The invasion of Nicaragua by Walker,
. supported by strong popular sentiment in the
South the appeal of that republic to us for
protection and security through the Yrisarri
treaty the seizure of Walker by Commodore
Paulding, and the public excitement it has
aroused here, are all evidences that our govern
ment, and our government alone. untrammelled
by treaty stipulations with partially interested
Powers, can cope with all the exigencies Of this
great question. Lying midway across the
shortest ocean route between our Atlantic and
Pacific States, these republics arc destined at no
distant day TO be the scenes Of transit for vast
portion Of our own domestic trade, and perhaps
TO become the halfway house for the inter-
course of Australia aud China with the active
centres Of civilization.
Forty years Of independence have exhibited
on their part nearly an equal period of internal
dissension and civil war, during which they
have lost in large degree their agricultural
and mechanical skill, as we'll a. their political
organization and cohesion. While exhibiting
this material decay, the march of our develope-
ment and the progressive necessities Of the
whole world have involved them within its cur.
or tta h
ia any way. The refrigerated communities that
exist there have neither the mechanical skill to
meet the requirements for the transit of com:
merce, nor the political stability to insure its
safety. The weak and exhausted governments
that rule there have become the prey to schem-
ing spectators in privileged grants and the
people bid fs&r TO succumb to enterprising spi-
rits who are ambitiousto initiate Cortez, Pizarro
and other successful Adventures. AT the same
time the prospective demands of trade are urg-
ing on the tide Of a cultivated mechanical emf
grafton, and preparing the ground for the adj
vent Of new communities possessed Of higher
degree Of civilization. This il the mission that
pu@u, with il comes the obligation of our govern
ment 10 10 shape its policy ss 10 meet the new
order Of things
Such policy Is initiated in the new treaty
with Nicaragua. In covenanting with her to
extend over the Nicaraguan route that protec-
ton which the great interests Of commerce re-
quire, we are engaging to do what no European
Power could possibly undertake TO do. How
ever much the trade Of other nations may seek
the facilities Of these Ithmus routes, that of our

STRNGFELLow, THE BORDER RUTrLT--N In
stated in the newspapers that the famous poll
tician, Chevalier Stringfeliow, of Kansas,
whom the abolitionists consider the model OF .
border ruflian of that Territory, has been in
Washington for several days, Offering letter
against the Lecompton constitution and in
favor of popular sovereignty to the Union. It
seems to have been refused. Of course such .
letter would be refused by any newspaper in
Washington pretending to be the organ Of En-
administration. The vocation Of administra-
ton organs is only to publish one-sided views.
The Chevalier Stringfellow has sent his letter to
U.s. and We give him the opportunity of being
heard by the whole civilized world, both Of
Europe and America; and may afford him, in
addition, at some future time, perhaps, the ben
eft of critical analysis, giving merit where
merit is due, and pitching into him without
mercy wherever we think he deserves it.

MORE BLoCKHEsDs THAT WRITE FOR News
PAPERs.-Mr. Booby Brooks is not the only I'M
mitigated ass that writes for the newspapers.
We find Partisan correspondent for an OBJ
scure contemporary who writes in relation to
the HERALD and the American revulsion in a
style equally rs absurd as that Of our cotem-
porary here. This Paris blockhcad flies into o
prodigious passion because We have character
lied those who have got foolishly in debt, and
do not pay their debts as being, for the most
part, swindlers and rogues in every sense of
the terms. lie says that this IL most atrocous
libel upon the fair name Of the American peo-
pie. The stock gambling journal In which this
letter appears makes very good reply 10 IL, by
stating that while the American people at home
aud abroad patronize and support the HERALD, in
which these charges are made they must think
there is great deal of truth in its assertions
Not long ago the London Tines, as well as
other leading journals in England, &C.
knowledged openly and declared posi-
lively that the commercial system of
Great Britain was rotten TO the core We
suppose that any Englishman residing in To-
reign country, and blessed with the same small
quantity Of brains that have been bestowed up
on the Paris correspondent of our stock gam
bling contemporary, would write that the Lon
don TINES had been guilty of publishing the
mos, awful libel upon the honesty and honor of
the British public. while the fact Is that the
London Times simply told the truth, ia the most
forciblc way, in charactcrizing the commercial
system Of England as rotten to the core. We
have done the same thing with regard TO this
country, and have not spared the swindlers of
any kind--swindlers In Wall street, swindiors
in old Brick Churches, swindlers in railways
and swindlers in the lobby And for the future
we intend to pursue the same course, and to
publish the truth without respect to persons.
We are confident that the American people have
quite as much coolness discernment, discrimi-
nation and common sense ar all the John Bulls
that can be found from Lands End to John
