Northern senators and Representatives in Congress
take an active part in the negotiation of that treaty
and having Yrssar recognized, or was il the volun
tary act Of the Administration 1t appears to us
that the treaty was framed with an eve single to the
feesol colonization of Nicaragua, and as that would
be good Northern card in the next Presidential
contest we were disnosed to award all the credit Of
this artful NAV to win the favor of Black Republican
ism to the Administration The whole object in re-
ceivne Yrissari as the representative of Nicaragua
was 70 create some sort Of pretext for preventing

seeat the extension Of Southern institutions there
and AZ The same time omen new market for the sale

Northern capitalists under the guarantee and pro-
lection Of Government. This Is strong political
card we admit SO far as the rame of the North is
concerned.
Now we wish to INQUIRE as TO Yrissaris reception.
We wish 10 know whether he was received as the
representative of the defunct government of Ryas.
or the Jerez and Martinez duality. We know that he
not received as the representative of the Govern
ment now claimed to be in existence in Nicaragua,

negotiated in such hot haste between Gen. Cass and
this Yrissarri recognized the Joe White company as
being entitled to the Nicaragua Transit route These
transactions apnear 10 be involved in mystery which
should be cleared up. There are many who incline
to the opinion that there was something about this
reception and negotiation which smaeked of fraud
and corruption.
And we should like to know whether the Govern
ment could not lust as easily have stipulated for the
right Of those who have been to Nicaragua and &C.
oured property there to hold the same and transact
business as it was to make such stipulation in be.
half Of the Freesoilers who arc to colonize that

grave diplomatic matters, that this would not only
have been right and proper but that it was the duty
of the Government inasmnch as it had interfered to
nrevent Americans who had become citizens Of Near
