The Richmond South is making strong OPP
position to what is called the lrisarri treaty
concluded by the Administration aud the
Minister from Nicaragua, for the settlement
Of Central American affairs. 1t declares that
the aim of the treaty sis the overthrow OF
Gen. Walker, in order that the preponderance
of Southern sentiment on Southern soil shall
WELD to the preponderance of Northern seh-
timent, as developed through Aid Societies
and as propagated by such wrong-doinss as
the Nicaragua Transit Company mOnopoiies."
We add some general remarks Of The South,
following it's comments upon this treaty =
1--WE are willing to believe, nay, we are dis
nosed to believe, that MIR. Buchanah bad not
sufficient time, from the very nature OF his en-
,aoements. 10 examine the subject with the
care which it demanded; and we are sure
that he never imagined that cliques, having
Interior purposes of selfish nature u ar-
comnl;sb. were turning his misplaced ere
dul;tv To their own account. There are those,
Il ia true in public lie who assert that the
President is acting With duplicity to the South.
We are not yet prepared to think so, nor
will we change this opinion without gooa ana
sufficient reason. We should regard HIN a.
the meauest of mortals-as the most unwor-
thy Of INTERCHANGEABLE he could abandon us-
if be could falsily his. pledges, when more
than ever in the history Of the nation we
have go much need Of that Executive hdeii-
~ in which We confdingly reposed our trust
when bis nomination " a. made at Cincinnati.
II we are betrayed, it will be, alas, som
enough for US to know it when some overt act
shall be committed that will reveal the awful
fact. Until then, we shall continue to attr.
butte whatever mistakes, however grave, which
the Administration may make, as errors Of
the head, not Of the heart, so far at least, as
the Executive per Sc is concerned. But our
nress is not to be muzzled in its animal
Versions upon the incapscity and insincerity
of those who are its assistants or who have
ready access to its perhaps overindul'
gent ear. No one wishes more earnestly than
Ourselves that the long official career Of Mr.
Buchanan may terminate in blaze OF glo
~. and No one will labor more diligently Il
secure that contamination. We would shield
him if We had the power. against blot on

The bill for the increase OF the army, oy
the addition of two ompanies to regiments in
the service, is discussed in the Senate. A
disposition is manifested in favor of the
measure, and also of limiting the employment
of the additional force to the continuance OF
the emergency is, the Mormon war
which requires it. The remark was made
by Mr.. Toombs that Congress had not recog-
nized the existence of o war with the
Mormons, and it was replied that though
there was no war there certainly had &C.
Cured a necessity for sending force
to enable the civi! authorities of the United
States to enforce the laws. During the de-
bate, Mr. Davis, in reply to a question sald
that the first section of the bill would add
thirty companies to the army or twenty-five
hundred and twenty men. II the second
section be adopted, of course the number OF
men will depend upon the manner in which
the army is posted. lit is posted as now,
with the thirty companies to be added by the
first section, the total increase will be 6,96O
privates.

Mr.. Bernbisel, the delegate from the Ter
ritory of Utah, seeks a peaceful settlement
of the difficulties between the Mormons and
the United States Government. He alleges
that. had it not been for the troops which
were sent to that region with hostile inten-
tons, there would have been presented now
mo horrd front Of civil war;" that this ex-
aspersted tbs people there. If commission
er were appointed to 20 to Salt Lake City,
he believes that al adjustment would be ae-
complshed. 1t is hardly probable, however,
tina, any adjustment the Mornons would be
willing to make, could be more than temper
airy.
