quite as good harbor as Valparaiso. The
Isthmus is healthy.
| Mr.. Luzere, President Of thero is a pas
senger on tho Quaker City, but will return
Immediately, to spend three months on the
lsthmus.
The Liberal party arc still in possession Of
the lsthmus, notwithstanding the intrigue Of

Travelled SO far North to make Democratic
speeches, and could not, therefore, make the
proper allowance for the effect of colder
climate upon Democratic principles, called
their Senator to account on bis return. And

which he denied some Of the charges made
against him, and eyadei others. He met
that charge, that be favored Douglas cleo.
