| In the outset Major Heiss Is good enough to
say that IN the new Nicaragua treaty, Mr.. Bu-
cbsnsn has "made grand and noble step TO-
wards the emancipation of our inter-American
reastions;" but then we are told that "there is
corrupt intrigue behind it," can invisible

tionisss 10 colonize the country for their pecu-
lisr beue6t," and that unless the treaty shall
b. relieved from this invisible rider, smuggied
in by White Yrisarri a. Co., it will not pass the
Senate Now, between this view of the
Gaze and that which we also give today
from the Richmond Enquirer, there is very
remarkable difference; but it may easily be &C
counted for The Richmond editor looks at the
question simply in the light of an important
international treaty. He is not mixed up with
the Walker filibusters, nor with the Nicaragua
stockholders; and, he is therefore in a position
to discuss the subject fairly and candidly, and
without the prejudice Of q disappointed 6libus-
| ter or speculator.
The interests embodied in this treaty consist
Of two classes: First, the reciprocal, political
| and commercial interests Of the high contract
| ing parties. the United States and the State of
Nicaragua; secondly, the interests Of the Tran
cit spsculators and stock and lobby jobbers sub
jet exclusively 70 the local government Of
| Nicaragua. In regard to the future interna-
| tional relations between the two countries,
even the States admits that this new treaty will
remain bright and abiding landmark of Mr..
Buchanan's administration" bat Major Heiss
docs not seem to comprehend the fact that we
cannot treat with Nicaragua as sovereign
and independent State without conceding to
her the exclusive jurisdiction over her local
affairs. Thus. the government ut Washington
has no right TO interfere in the business
contracts of Nicaragua concerning her Transit
route, except only 70 sec that these contracts
do not infringe the general stipulations in be-
half Of American citizens and American trade.
We have no legal power 10 say whether this
company or that company shall have the mono
| poly of the Transit route. We must accept the
| company which has secured, or which may &C.
cure the privilege from the government Of
| Nicaragua, whether Joe White, Joe Black or
| Joe Brown shall turn out 10 be the lucky man.
