The New York Herald in an editorial
commenting upon the important Nicara-
guam news furnished by the steamer North
ern Light, uses the following language:
at will be seen that President Martin.
ez Of that Republic, has capped the climax
OF his hatred of the United States. All tie
transit river steamers have been sie2o,l,
the bridges destroyed, Americans impris.
onei, and the route thrown open to the
world, wholly regardless OF the rights of
our citizens. When it is taken into con.
sideralion that these wantou attacks were
perPetra'ed Immediately on the conclusion
of treaties with England aud Sardinia, and
the arrival Of the French Expedition un
der NJ. Felix Belly, there can be but one
opinion as to the necessity of prompt, de-
clsive action on the part of our Govern,
ment Instruction should be Immediately
dispatched to our naval commanders to
blockade all the Nicaraguan ports. That
Genl Juarez be at once dismissed and
Gent Lamar recalled, aud a suitable per
son sent to eli his place. The miserable
governments Of the Central American
States should receive lesson effective
enough to save all future trouble in this
quarter.
The Times say the sieznre Of the boats
of the Transit Co. is all invasion of Amer
lean rights. and a trespass on American
property, which cannot pass unchallenged
Il the President proves true to his pledges
and Gen Cass maintains the doctrine of
his letters to Lamar, we shall speedily
have this wrangle brought to a Close
The best thing that the President can do
is to recall Lamar, send a competent man
to take his place, and put one or two men
of-war at his disposal. This whole matter
has been trihed with too long already.

Gs.y" In an article on the Democratic
City Convention in last weeks Rcqtsfer
we stated that MATTHEW LEgCu, among
others, voted for the resolutions denoun-
cling DR.. IEoMASs and EN. Senator JoNEs;
and we did SO from the fact that when the
vote was taken and division called for
Mr.. LEEcH took his position among those
who voted in the affirmative, at which time
we took his name along with the others
who voted ON that side. We have since
been informed, however, that, although he
took his place among the friends of the
resolutions. at tho solicitation of some of
his friends he left the floor before the vote
was taken, and does not wish to be con,
sidered as favoring the resolutions. In
our article on the Convention We aimed to
give plain statement Of facts as they 90
curred--nothing Anore--nothing less. If
we made an error, We were led into it by
Mr.. LEEcn taking position among men
about TO pass in favor of sentiments which
no now repudiates.

rSAy The house of Representatives of
the Missouri Legislature have passed an
act which provides that no slave shall be
deemed emaneipated until bis master shall
have entered into bonds, in the sum OF
$4,000, to remove the negro within ninety
days after the act of emancipation; and ii
any negro who may thus have been trans.
ported from the State shall return. he shall
be reduced to slavery. All free negroes
who may be residents Of the State in 1850
are declared to be slaves, and the sheriff
may sell them. One provision of the act
is, that the money arising from the sale O {
such negroes shall constitute part of the
school fund Of the State. 1t is doubted
whether the bill will pass the Senate.

A Pen Portrait.

In one Of the brilliant letters, of which
trenchant John Mitchell is addressing a
series in the columns of the Citizen" to
his friend and co-patriot John Martin, in
Ireland, we find the following sketch of
GOorgia's gifted son, the Hon. Alex. II.
Stephens:
At Charlottesville, a village on one of
the piny ridges of Georgia, in an unpre-
tending and somewhat desolate-looking
house (desolate looking it may well be.
for no fair and kindly house mother ever
made it shine and smile) dwells one of
the choicest and rarest spirits of our
hemisphere. Youthful and almost boy
ish looking, yet stricken by mortal mala-
dy-One who has made covenant with
death, vet whose veins are full of the
most genial life; with the cold hand
clutching at his vitals. yet with a laugh
clear and ringing as the marriage bell his
thin face is Of deathly hue. yet the dark
eyes are blazing lamps. If you are his
friend, he is gentle and affectionatc as
girl-if his enemy, he will have great
pleasure in standing opposite to you, at
any distance that may be arranged, i'm
which case you had better look sharp, for
he is as cool as an oyster "A student and
true philosopher, a laborious and consci-
entious legislator, a powerful lawyer, and
jealous cultivator Of grapes (Catawba
and Scuppernong) for he has faith in the
virtues Of wine "a generous friend and
patron Of humble merit-for the which
many prayers and blessings arise every
evening on his behalf-a noble imagina-
tive orator-yet not OF the Chas. Phillips
school Of Irish oratory" by any means.
his taste being too highly educated for
that species Of rigmarole-such is Alex.
II. Stephens. lie is named amongst Presi-
dental candidates; and therefore / in
clude him in my list but indeed | do
not believe he dreams that he can posi-
bly, be President, or nnAgines that he
could perform and endure the mere Off
cial duties-to say nothing of the tre-
mendous moral responsibilities. The first
evenings shaking Of hands at Presiden-
tial reception would suddenly put him to
death, and bring in the Vice President
But he is named as a representative
southern man, likely to be available as a
candidate, by reason of the universal re-
spect entertained for him both North and
