Nicaragua Question.

In the Senate, q few days since g
message was received from the Presi.
dent in response to the call for informa.
ton relative to recent events in Cen.
tral America. The President says
Commodore Paulding committed a
great error in arresting Gen. Walker;
he thinks it is quite evident that Com,
modore Paulding was actuated by pat.
riotic motives and was desirous of bro.
noting the interests and vindicating
the honor of his country. The Gov.
eminent of Nicaragua sustained no
injustice but was rather benefit
ted. 1t alone would have the right to
complain, and it is quite certain it
will never exercise that right

Acting Gov. Stanton, in his mess
age to the special session of the legis.
lature, states that he convened that
body in compliance with "the repre-.
sentations of a majority" of the mem,
bers of both bodies. These represen.
tations were accompanied by the fol,
lowing pledge as to the action they
should take when called together:
"We take the liberty of frankly sta
ting that we shall not deem IL proper
if you call an extra session of the leg
islature, to enter upon or engage in
any business other than that which is
necessary to counteract the pretended
submission of the so-called Lecomp-
ton Constitution, or TO give the bona,
fde citizens a fair end impartial op-
portunity, through the ballot, box, to
express themselves for or against the
instrument"
This pledge was given to Secretary
Stanton in order to induce him to
convene the legislature, and to allay
his apprehensions lest law should
be passed to submit to vote of the
people theTopeka instead ofthe LIE.
compton Constitution, his hostility to
the former being well known. Secre-
tary Stanton yielded on the faith OF
the assurance, and the Legislature as
sembled on the 7th inst.
The council has thirteen members;
nine Abolitionists and four National
Democrats; the representatives mum.
Der thirty-nine; twenty four A Abolition.
lists, and fifteen National Democrats.
In the Senate the AbolitioDists have
over two thirds; but not having that
force in the other branch, in order to
render themselves independent of the
Governors vote, and able to violate
their pledge if they wished, they emu,
lated the much contemned "bogus"
Legislature, and rejected eight Dem
ocrats from Levenworth county,
That this was contemplated, is proven
by the passage Of bipartisan militia bill
over the Governors vote, though its
introduction was a palpable violation
Of the above pledge.

to be a majority Of the whole number

! A portion of the Free State men
have nominated q State ticket, and

the votes on the constitution until af-

A Black. Republican TTansRc-
lion,

Rumors are afoat in Washington to
the effect that certain Black Ropubli-
can leaders in Ohio, during the Presi-
dental campaign Of 1856, applied to
the officers Of the Ohio Life Insurance
and Trust Company, for a loan Of halt
a million of dollars, to be used in car
rying the October election in Pensyl-
vania- feeling confident, could they
succeed in that, that the election Of
Colonel FREMONT to the Presidency
would be a certain thing; and they Of
iercd to guaranty the Company the
repayment Of the loan, with a bonus
in the way of interest. The officers
of the company declined to loan the
money on those terms, but consented
to doso if the gentleman from Ohio
would hypothecate Ohio State bonds
to the amount of six hundred thuus-
and dollars. 1t is now alledged that
the bonds of the State to that amount
were SO hypothecated;, that they are
among. the assets of tile defunct Ohio
Life and Trust Company; and that
this money-fve hundred thou
sand dollars-was spent to carry
Pennsylvania at the October cleo
ton.

The people are tired, sick, disgusted

which will send it back to the people
of the Territory for a full and fair
trial, and under such regulations as
may be deemed expedient to secure a
full expression of the popular voice9-

OF"Ion," the Washington CORES,
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, in q
late letter says:
"The Lecompton Constitution, with
the slavery article, was adopted by
the popular vote on the 21st. The
vote cast is said to have been small
in proportion to the number of legal
voters in the Territory. AS the Free
State men have so large a majesty in
the Territory, it is difficult to perceive
why they wish to Keep Kansas ont Of
the Union, unless it is for the promo
tion Of factious purposes. Perhaps
they may yet see fit to vote at the G.
lection Of State officers on the 4th ot
January, when they can, ifthey choose
take the entire organization of the State
Government into their own hands
If they do this, they will desire the
immediate admission of Kansas as a
