FROM WASHINGTON.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
BALTIMORE, Feb. IA. Ion, of the Bal
timore Sun, says, this morning: Ths long
delayed Cass-I -Irisarri has peen ratified by
the Government OF Nicaragua, and it will
no doubt, soon be submitted 10 the United
States Senate for ratification. The treaty
secures important facilities for the United
Government in transportation Of arms and
munitions OF war, and the conveyance Of
tho mails across the Nicaragua transit,
and it gives the Unitel States the right to
inierpose. by force, for the protection and
security Of the same.
1t gives no exclsive prefernacs to any
one transit company. 1t is difficult to i'm
Rglne any important objection to this trea
ty, from any quarter except from those
who claim for the United States and ex-
elusive interest in and control over the
Isthmus.
The Ousley treaty has been conceded,
and Is OF atenor similar to the Cass treaty.
Though both parties have assumed right
to interfere for the safety and protection
of Isthmus; yet n=ither has any exclusive
privileges or interest therein. This adjust
ment leaves the stipulations OF the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty in full force, and prevents
either party from terrifying, colonzng,
occupying or exercising dominion with
in the territory Of Nicaragua.
~ The Washington correspon lent OF the
,. New York Herald, of this morning says:
70 A political movement having for its OBJ
ject the Obstruction Of the Republican par
'ty, is on foot. The late State Convention
of the Opposition in Virginia is the last
formidable demonstration to this effect. The
project inaludes many Of the leaders of the
Old Line Wing party, North and South
and will receive encouragement from
Boston. New York, Philadelphia, New
Orleans, LouisviIl, St; Louis, and Wash
ington. Mhe object will be to nationalize
the Opposition. Il you will carefully OBJ.
serve the various letters written for GER
tain papers from this Capitol. you notice
the main design of this organization is tc
ignore the slavery question, and TO concucI
.Sthe campaign upon basis Of high protec
y tive tsrif, hostility to expenditures o
Z, the, present administration, and consider
able tub to the whole the Americanism in
shape Of an alteration iu the existing nat
gurlixetion laws.
Mr.. Bolts he who slept with Captain
Myler isone af the engenerrs of this move
nent. and as it will make very little differ
ance to John. wheatber the man chosen fo
President is Republican or American, h'
q will do every thing be can to bring tht
repulsive elements together.
His speech in the late Virginia Conven
ton, was a compound Of originality aut
assqrenoe. and remarkable specimen oI
partisan eloqqence.
". He and and Mr.. Prentice of ths Louis
vile Journal, and Mr.. Ex-Secratary o
War Conrad. New Orleans. with Ballar
Preston, Of Virginia, and Winter Davis @
81 Baltimore, are not blind topassing events
They see that the day for success of an
sectional party is over, and that the Rep
ublicans. will never be able again to max
the stand which they did in 1859; Th
follies ofthe paesent General Adminstra
tion will give strength to this movement
Ruiess, indeed, the Democratic part
should publicsly and everywhere cut
self loose from that administration.
.5ssH Meanwhile. tho Republicans pre- SO, ar
by no means in Give.
Mr.. Seward assisted by Tburlow Weed
Of New York, is rapidly abs rLing the OF
ganization of the Republican party. HI
friends insist that he is the only man VIII
can rally an enthusiasts support. Ths
he is available because he is sound; tha
they will not run any more men for mer
votes; that they must have a representativ
of their own principles. pu'e, and smpl
and that they will not yield to any cand
date who may claim strength in this G
that quarter.
Oddly enoug, those most anxious to pr
Mr.. Seward forward for President, ar
most anxious that no action should tax
place upon the tariff question.
