have satisfied ourself that he was received upon
that he had authority to exchange the Cass-
Irisarri treaty, without any amendment vita
ting any one of its original important provi-
sions that he has subsequently failed to sub.
NIT to the Secretary of State the paper contain
ing the delegation of such power to him, or to
return the treaty without amendment; and,
further, that he has been notified that as he
now claims not to have the power to do the only
thing he was received to do, this Government
secs no good end that can be attained by any
further consultation whatever with him upon
the subject of his alleged mission. This is a
virtual, if not formal, dismission, it will be
perceived.
In the meanwhile, we have news from Mica
rsgua, setting forth that the officers of the
American squadron in that quarter are under
instructions to carry out each and all the pro-
visions Of the Cass- lrisarri treaty when and
wherever lin Nicaragua American interests
may require them to be carried out.
We have further to say that we believe Mar
tines did give to DR.. Jerez the requisite au.
thority to return the treaty unmutilated, in.
structing him to do that thing only in case he
became satisfied that this Government designed
acting upon the treaty as originally negotiated;
and that the hesitancy of the Dr.'s race SO
overcame his common sense as to lead bin to
decline carrying out those secret instructions,
un ii, having thus exhausted the patience of
this Government, he finds his official inter-
course with it brought unceremoniously to an
end.
Mr.. FREDERICK P. SrANToN.-This we'll
known gentleman has last turned up as q full
blown Republican. 1t is now currently under
stood in Kansas that he is a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination as an U. S. Senator, when
the Territory shall be admitted into the Union rs
State. To that end, We presume, he has been
making speeches for months past from every
convenient stump in the Territory That he
should come to that end, political, at last, is by
no means surprising to those who remember the
record of his Congressional votes, when though
elected as Democrat, he was regarded by the
strict constructonists of the body as being in
his private views and sympathies the most un-
adulterated FederaIist in the House. We are
glad that he has ut length shown himself in
such political colors. He went to his pref
emit political position by the Douglas Demo
cratic road, and has beaten his competitors,
Forney, BrOderick, and Haskin, in the race but
neck; for they are on a dead lock close be-
hind him for the Republican party goal, under
whip and spur. Douglas is bringing up the
rear at a more sober pace. He, too, is, however,
within the distance pole, and will arrive at the
Republican Judges stand" in due time. We
10 L., A.
Southern sympathizers with Douglas embrace
Mr.. Stanton as their friend and brother" PC
litically, as we'll as Broderick, Haskin and
Forney?
STILL ANOTHER LErTER.-Some of our ex-
changes announce that Gov. Wise has written
still another letter 'or the eye of the dear pub
lic-One going in tooth and toe nail for Senator
Douglas, with whom. politically, he is well
known to be in loving accord. We see no rea-
son, however, to fancy that more Of Virginia
than the Governor, and his mou tn piece the
Richmond Enquirer, are that way affected 1t
will be remembered that when the Governor
and the Enqntrer tried to defeat the re-eIec-
ton Of Senator Hunter, and to obtain from
the Virginia Legislature an endorsement of
the anti-Lecompton policy Of Douglas, they
stood soil tary and alone. So the public, out
side of the Old Dominion, will understand that
Governor Wise can take political position
that will be unanimously repudiated by the
Democratic party of his State. In this case, if
the tone Of the Democratic party Of Virginia is
to be determined from that of it's Democratic
and all other newspapers, Senator Douglas is
without single endorser in the State save
Governor Wise and the Richmond Enquirer,
which journal is now his mere echo.
WILL They, TOO, SHOULD'VE are curious
to see whether the Richmond Enqu,rer and the
rest of the Southern Douglasite journals and
politicians will venture to below themselves
hoarse over the result of the Pennsylvania
election, after the fashion of their friends, For
ney and his echoes. Our hope is that they will
show their hands in this connection SO conclu-
sively that all in the South will comprehend
the drift of their current sympathy in the cause
OF Douglas. By way of furnishing a key to
what they really are about, we quote the New
York Tribune on the result Of this Pennsylya.
MIA election, as follows:
"Lst US not misstate nor overstate this triumph
The Republicans have nobly contributed to 1t,
but they have not alone achieved H. The great
body Of the Americans have heartily Co operated
with them, and the elaborate atte mpts to draw off
votes on straight American tickets In Philadel-
phia, has had little effect. The union for free
territory, pure elections, and protection to home
industry, was too hearty and solid to be shaken
by the tricks Of demagogues bought and owned
by the common adversary.
"But the Republicans aud Americans united
could not have won sweeping a victory with
cut the Potoerfni aid Of the Douglas Dsnioeyaep
These faithful devotees Of the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, organized and led by John ". For.
ney, had resolved to punish the Tecreants who
devised and urged on the Lecompton fraud, and
they have done 1t most ehrctualIy.'
SAFETY Fuses, &c.-Yesterday, Captain
Rudd, Captain d. N. Ingraham, Commander
Turner, Lieutenants Jones, Murray and Smith
were present at the Navy Yard to witness ex.
perilnents with Gomez and Mills's patent safety

periments were highly satisfactory, as explo-
sions were effected instantansously through
