CENTRAL AMERICA.

Mcssrs Editors 1t is said that the CasS'
Yrizarri Treaty leaves the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty in full force The Ousley Treaty only
introduces England as formal partner into
American affairs. OF course France is not to
be excluded from her interest in the operations
of her ally. .
We venture the assertion that the web OF
diplomacy is inextricably woven about Central
American affairs, and that the bayonct will
unite some of the "hard knots drawn by the
cunning OF negotiators.
The CLAYTON. .Bulwer Treaty was bad enough
of itself. but the Key to this problem will prove
even more difficult than the problem itself

0rESrIONN tnR clYDLDI rs.

All Of the people must be anxious to know
the opinions of candidates on the subjects
about which we are about to profound inter-
ro.atorics; because the slave trade has become
the most urgent and interesting questions of
the day; because our allies to suppress it,
France and England, have virtually and cxtcn.
sively renewed it, and because our African coast
fleet, and our present Legislative cnactmcnta,
are proving inadequate to its suppression even
in our own Territories.
We believe the people will insist on full and
distinct answers from all candidates, to the fol-
lowing intcrrogatorieS:
Are you in favor or opposed to withdraw
ing our fleet from the coast Of Africa:
Are you in favor or opposed TO the law ma
king the slave trade piracy:
Would You rely on State legislation to deter.
mine the social organization Of each State and
to pcrmi. or prohibit the introduction of negro
slave, or African or Coolic apprentices; or
would you by Federal legislation enforce u uni

laborcrS from abroad!
What additional legislation, State or Federal.
do you deem desirable on the subject OF the AZ

THE STORY OF DIsUNI0N.

We learn that McsSrS RrDp & CARLETON oi
New York, have in press the "Border Var, or
Story Of Disunion," by the editor Of the Phila-
delphia Monitor" We havc,on former oc-
casion, ventured the prediction that this work
was destined to achieve an "Uncle Tom sue
cess, for it is an antdotc to that pernicous novel,
as we'll as to the more recent books of Helper,
the renegade North Carolinian This story de-
pictS the horrors of internccine strife, conSe-
quent upon dissolution, and vndicates the Con-
stitution, while rebuking the excuses OF sec
tional quarrelS and violent retalations. Its
main point seems to be to show that with
Chief Magistrate Of exalted patriotism, ot
comprehensive intellect and sufficient force OF
character, a THIRD POWER would be interposed be-
tween the different extremes, able to defend the
Constitution and to save the Union. We hope
halfa million copies ofthis book may be dissent
mated among the people North and Southland
we are glad that it has fallen into the hands oil
such an cnterprising house as the Mcssrs. Rudd

THE WYTHEvuLE DISCUSSION.

The Richmond Wing" Of the 23d instant
has "sincc heard, however, that tie person who
attempted to apply the gag to Mr.. Goggin. af-
tcrwards made public apology for his outra-
gcous misconduct" So, then, the conduct Of
''oyE PERSON" and that conduct afterwards
publicly apologiscd for, is made the occasion
for denuncation.
But the "Whig' crrS in its first editorial up
on the Wytheville discussion, when it says:
"Thus. for the first time, has the gag been
attempted to bc applied to public speaker in
the Commonwealth of Virginia, and that speak
CT himself native TO the manor BORN and as
courteous rs honorable and as high-mnded 4
gentleman as walks the earth. The first time
we repeat, and, for the sake Of the reputation
and good name Of the State, God grant it may
be the last"
Wonderful forsctfunc>s and sinsularly bad
memory has the ''Whig"
In 1906, at Abingdon, the gag was attempt
cd to be applied to the present Governor Of
Virginia, and 4 scene really dsgraccful to her
fair name was enacted by the members of the
Know Nothing party, but with very little sue.
cess, for they soon learned that the speaker
would stand there until ''thc cows came home
in the evening" or until he could say all he
had intended. And facing down the Plug
Uglyisln' of Abingdon, he told the rowdics
there disgracing the State, that he would be
the next Governor, and some Of them would
be applicants for Executive clemcncy-and al
most literally has the prophecy been fulfilled
4 gentleman from Abingdon, from whom we
one Of the very persons engaged in the disor-
der, had been forced to fly the community for
crimes and msdcmeanorS.
Again, in Lecsburg in lSj5, this same game
of Know-Nothing Plug Uglyis,n was attempted
and failed, hut no apology for either was ever
offercd-and again. at Culpeper Court House
the present Attorney General received, by no
means, that polite hearing which should ever
characterize Virginia audience. We mention
these things to show the 'Whig" that the gag,
in public discussions, is an institution peculiar
to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that whatever in
terruption may have taken place in Wythevillc,
though since apologised for, as the "Whig
shows, was not the frst attempt at the gdg.--
Whatever wrong the zone person" may have
done, he manfnlly and honorably apologised
for; and this attempt to give unpleasant publ
city to an attoncd for error, should not bc per-
sisted in by the Wing" and will never be en-
couraged by us. 4 man may forget proprietly,
under excitement, as the lone person did :;
and the silence of the Wythcville Times
should have been an example for the Richmond
"Whig." We hope this one interruption,
vouched for to the Wing" "by one of the
most respectable citizens of Wythcville,' will
be the last; and that no excitement will again
take place during the campaign.

So our NicaragIIan troubles are all Mt an end.
Our right of transit from the Atlantic to
the Pacific oceans is secured and there's an
end. This looks hopeful enough, but have We
considered that Eagh,nd has similar treaty,
and that r0pficts nW arise'
The United States agree Ito protect dHncu-
tral routes, "by land or by water, natural or
artificial. which may now or hereafter exist, or
be constructed under the authority Of Nicara-
qua" and to 'yuaramty the neutrality of the
same" And Nicaragua agrees that in case she
should fail to protect persons and property upon
this transit, the United States shall have pow
cr to do so so long as such military protection
NAV be considered necessary.
We predict, that in less than five years there
will be no such State as Nicaragua. There is
too much complication and iHdcf"iteness in the
national relations established by the late trca
ties for them to endure This is "all sorts OF
