WALKERS AIM N NIcAR.GUA,

Gen. Walker is turning his 50 grey eye'
from war to letters. lie is engaged in
writing book, and, after the manner of
Cesar, proposes TO make it a history Of his
own exploits. 1t is announced that be pro.
poses to expound to the world the real p1r.
pose OF his pertinacious attempts to invade
and conquer Nicaragua. An extract from
the book, which has already seen the light,
gives this explanation in nutshell. Ills
object was to make Mic ,ragna Slave State,
outside Of the Union. In his judgment ,ie
South cannot afford to send their slaves into
The new territory. and the laws Of the Union
render il impossible for them to procure
fresh supple, by Importation but they
could carry on the Slave trade between the
ceas, of Afrie, and Nicaragua. plant that
region with Slavery, build up one or more
Slave States there, and, when everything
was ready, bring them into the Union; he
thinks tia mere waste of time ard strength
FOR the south to be discussing her right TO
take slaves into the new territories when in
fact she has none to take there. Did the Gen.
eraaI ever canvass the probability Of being
able to secure the admission of bis new
Slave States after he should have formed
them ? He attributes his future to thu op-
position of the Federal Government, which
IS high compliment to Mr.. Bnehanan' 3
