/ On the lsth inst, Senator Dooiiitle, Of Wisconsin
sctuated bya landable ambition ID bring bic Yanke'
coenomen into public notice, introduced into The
United States Senate resolution directing media
to be struck and presented to Commodore Padding
in honor of that brilliant feat Of arms which made
1.-THE President Of Nicaragua prisoner Of war to the
President of the United States. The ingratitude Of
republics Is proverbal and that Of parties, in this
4 country. is mnch more widely known and practically
felt II the presentation Of medal is all that the adj
mirers Of Pauding propose to do for him.he is I'M
doabiedly badly treated man. and should treat the
offer Of medal with the same contempt with which
beegar sometimes spurns tender Of cold vietuals
and old clothes when he asks for money.
Psuldings constituents, as regards the Nicaragua
affair, are found wholly in the North. So far as
incorporation goes, there are few journals in the
South that win not openly and directly condemn his
act, because they approve its results but we have
not Jet opened one at all distinguished for honesty
and common sense that ventures to defend him.
They who felt the deepest interest in defeating the
attempts to Americanize Central America were the
very men who have colonized Kansas with foreign
paupers in order to keep ont the Southerner and his
slaves. The seizure and abduction of Walker Just Of
the moment when the success of his enterprise was
all but assured, was service in their cause whose
value could hardly be overrated, and yet they would
now reward with beggarly medal the hero who
conceived the brilliant idea and carried it out by
masterstroke of that genns which he is said to have
inherited from the Peeksk farmer, who once upon a
time played seyen-npn under hedge and assisted
in capturing and hanging an anttflibuster.
