CoMPLIcTTY OF THE ADMINISTRATION
WITH FILL1BUsTER WALKER.-The general
dispatches from Washington. in the New
York papers of Monday, contain the dis
closures of the arch-6llibuster in regard
to his relations with the Administration,
more at length than in previous reports,
The following statements deserve atten-
ton:
William Walker, in his speech at
Mobile, says that last summer, in an IN
terview with the President, he informed
the latter of his intention to return to
Nicaragua, and that his letter. written in
June, was published by the Presidents
consent. A day or two afterwards he
was invited to an interview with q Cab
met Minister, who sought to obtain his
confidence. The Minister told him where
to go with safety, and where with danger,
remarking, You will probably sail in
an American vessel. under the American
flag. After you have passed American
limits, no one can touch you by consent
of this government During an inter
view between friend of Walkers and
Cabinet Minister, when an alliance with
Mexico and the conquest of Cuba were
proposed, that member said, IF you do
this, means shall not be lacking to carry
out the enterprise. :"
Another Investigating Committee is
plainly wanted. Who was this Cabinet
Minister?

RIGHT on THE RECoRD.-The Cincin.
natl Times says:
1--WE rejoice to see that Americanism
will not take part in behalf of sectional
issues at the South. American members
of the Senate of Tennessee. have protest
ed against the action of that body, in
passing Resolutions instructing the mem
bers of Congress and Senators from that
State to vote for the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution.
1.-The Americans of the South deserve
infinite credit for their manly and coura-
geous protests against the Lecompton
outrage. There is patriotism and Union
feeling enough among them to defeat all
sectionalists.

WILL IT Pass "A bill is now pend.
ing in Congress. introduced by Mr. Grow
Of Pa, proposing to forbid,t the President
to issue a proclamation for the public
sale Of Lands. until fifteen years shall
have expired from the date of their survey
The object of this bill, as we Judge from
its title. is to allow the pioneer actual
settlers fifteen years presumption of their
respective quarter sections, before they
can be compelled to pay for them, OF
surrender them to any specularor who
may see fit to bny over their heads. This
is an excellent proposition, and in effect,
amounts almost to a homestead law.
We hope it may pass, as it would be Of
vast service to the Western country, be-
sides comforting benefit upon the labor
ing classes.

CmcAeo PouTIcs.-An election fol
Municipal officers is soon to come of in
Chicago. and they must have high times
there, inst now. The Republicans al
present have control of the city govern.
ment, but the Democrats are striving
hard to gain the ascendancy. Some o.
the means used to attain this end, are
characteristic. We have seen Letter
from there, which gives a graphic report
Of one Of their meetings.
The writer says he entered whiskey
shop, in which were congegated about
hundred Irish and ten Dutch. A Dem
ocratic "stumper" was on the counter
laying down the gospel to the audience
after the most approved style. He bran
ded the Republican city government as
tyrannicnl. and then gave pleasant pic,
ture of how things would be, If the De.
mocracy were successful. Policemen and
hackmen. he said, would not be eompell-
ed to wear badges. to designate their oc-
cupation. Whisky shops might exist
in all their freedom, without hindrance Of
any kind. Gaming houses would be toll
Grated, where persons might enjoy the
pleasures of gaming. at their will. Baw,
dy houses might exist, for the benefit Of
those who should choose to patronize
them. And, above all, the railroad cars
would no longer be crowded with repre-
sentstives from Chicago, to the State in
stitution at Alton
These unanswerable appeals were loud
ly applauded by the audience, in which
the woman behind the bar participated.
If that speakers party do not succeed. it
will not be from any lack of such appeals
as the above, to the patriotism of the
people.
