We puh'ish this morning one Of the most i'm
portsnt n utic0l documents that has ever ap
pesrvd in cA- columns. 1t Is the text Of the
treaty of ausA and commerce between tho gov
ernmeats OF a Q United States and Nicaragua,
which was rata d on the 18th Of March last by
| tn. CopctitueneA I'D Legislative Assembly of the
latter republic. AZ is but right to state that the
| rstifacutioa Of tES instrument was passed with
| dtsC,,lty, having n en- decided merely by one
vote, and that the "A caraguaa Assembly have
thcsph fit to acccm any ii with declaration
thai -Ahey, sIe not s~N tirely satisfied with the
treaty. hut that they ccept it without amend
penss 40 an evidence "a 'ch Nicaragua renders
to thefripdly conductor President Buchanan"
Witbout stopping to dve VI on the fact that it
is to tie fir mess and clear lighted policy Of the
Preside that we owe this n suit, we congratu-
late ths country On the satisfa Glory conclusion
of a question which inn olved, not only
direct interests Of tbs greatest I'M
portan.e, but prinsiples of u tai gravity In
connector wi1i the position vito we are for
tho future TO hold win the Certr> and South
American States Be:ides secu7in,r to our cid-
zen all the privileges Of the nossi favored ma
tion witha protectorate over tho t.A nsit routes,
the Yrisarrf treaty is ss'virtual recs gpition Of
the natural Influence and authority Which the
Cnited Stues Is destine a to exercise over the
whole Of this continent Practically, it super
sedes the Clayten-Bulwer treaty, and n other
treaties under which the European Pows rs may
Geek the right Of Intervention in Spanish Ame-
ricsn afains whilst at the came time 1t r, uders
unnecessary oil further fli5ustering efcs Ia to-
secure our just political asoendancy. TM t we
have not ovvrstated these results wiz at once
boeome evid ent from the fac. that The prog ress
which Nicaragua will make under the frien lily
protection, and with the cordial aid of his
country, will soon decide all The other Cent? al
American Suites to follow her example, an d
TO place themselves under. our shelterin g |
wing. The benefits which they raust al |
derive. FROM such an association win |
in their turn react upon the South American
governments, and thus our authority will be
quietly and peacefully extended over the whole
of tAe American continent. We need not points
out tho numerous difficulties which this lcgiu-.
mate realization Of our policy willspare US. It 4
will save US from all further anxiety In regard !
to the interruption of eur means Of communica-A
ton with our Pacific territories, remove all
vexatious questions Of dispute with governments
with which, owing to their weakness, no Credits
to be gained by quArrelling, and exclude wholly
from the field of American politics the European
governments which ere seeking to establish
right of interference in our afaira
In this latter respect the news Of the ratiiica-
ton of the Yrisarri treaty arrives at most OPP
perfume moment Now that oil minds in this
country orc made up to the necessity Of at once
abrogating the Clayton-Bulwer convention, it is
of great Importance that the acts Of the Spanish
American governments should themselves ties
tify to the impolicy and inexpediency Of
contracting such engagements with tho
European Powers But it is still more
| important that they should show that all
! the efforts and intrigucs Of those Powers
cannot prevent the natural grsvitation and cen
| tralization of authority on this continent, or
the recognition of the just weight which the
| United States Is destined to exercise in its af-
fairs. The course taken by n caragua will We |
think, 20 far to remove any lingering objec-
tions that may remain in the minds Of British |
diplomatiss to the cancelling Of an engage |
ment which, never rightly understood or hon. |
estly acted upon, has only been the means OF |
creating difficulties between the two countries |
of far more serious import TO Great Britain |
than any advantage that was to be derived from
the most liberal construction that could be put
on the treaty.
The happy conclusion of negotiation preg-
nant with 80 many important results If, We re-
peat matter for sincere congratulation and
rejoicing In approaching its benefits it would
not be fair to overlook the agency to which
they are due. Complicated "a the Transit
question had become, from the number
and importance Of the different interests in
yolycd in IL, IL was no easy matter to find solu-
s;on that would reconcile them with our gene
raj policy. The influences that we're brought to
bear on the administration in connection with
this question were powerful enough to hazard
lis impartial decision II Il but justice to state
that Il Il to the frmness and clear -headcdncss Of
MIR. Buchanan that the country is indebted for
the satisfactory termination of difficulties which,
without being exactly of pressing character,
contained tho germs of serious future troubles.
Tho personal compliment TO tho President with
which the Ncaraguan Assembly has couplcdits
ratification of the treaty, proves that In poll
