This contract also included a specific right in the company to construct a caual ou certain terms therein set forth At least, the-e privileges are grunted in tlie present charter, though they may have beet) Conceded at ditl'eieut times. The company stipulated, however to pay this Government $10.0"0 per annum, together with ten per cent, ol a'.l nett profits of the line. These conditions ,.ive never been fulfilled, and theft fore in its right, tlie Government annuls the contract, and sui tes the property to indemnify il for the umounl due by the company. Two considerations have promoted th Government to thi action : right aud policy. Tlie Accessory failed and rfuod to comply with its agreements, anl therefore the State was bonnd to see its interests and dignity re-pect "d : the company had thrtaien e! in suspend the line and break u; all com in i) n'u ui ion with the ports of S i" iriiirui, and therefore the State was interested in aeeing that this threat was imt t xecii ed.

This must eventually become the great and only route from the East to the West, and the present movement is but calculated to accelerate tha important consummation. A further result from this step must be the immedia.e orgaaizuion of a line of steamers which will merit ami receive the patroiirgeof the public, at the 6. one timethutit will con duce greatly to the benefit ot this State. It i necessary that every facility thould l offered to emigrants desiring to come to Nicaragua; and in order to secure such a consummation, the Government wi 1 hold an eye upon any new company.

No private interests are allowed to combat with the settled policy of the Govern ment, but ali its ends are consummated with energy, breaking down the personal aims that stand in the path. The nation i the first object of consideration with the chief executive power, and while its greatness can iu no wise conflict with the just rights of individuals, then speculation of men are not allowed to inter fere with any of its plans of improvement and advano.

El 2iciruguenne announces that Col.

El Xi&iragueiixe also announces that it is in possession of reliable infermatiotf from Guate mala that no fears of a hostile deuiotisira ion from that qua'er agiinst Nicaragua need be entertained. It adds 'The only ground on which such an impres sion could have been grounded, is that Guate mala has recently reitdorced her reg.ilar army, and otherwise prepared the State for war. Not long of an offensive character haB been attempted nor will he attempted, at present, but the State will hold its army for future act ion.

Ufa Shall be Elector? " ""' The last Clarksville Chronicle makes some pertinent remarks relative to the choice of an American candidate for Elector of this District. We coincide in opinion with oar respected contemporary, that t!ic candidate should be selected at an early day, with a view of affording bim ample time to ar range his private affairs, and to make prepa ration for the work which the canvass will devolve upon him. The nominees of the American Party for President and Vice President, possess the coufidence and affec tion of the people of Tennessee in an emi nent degree; but, notwithstanding, the la bors which will be required of the candi d ites for Elector arc not, by this fact, di minished in magnitude or importance. We have, in the history of the Gubernatorial cauvass of 'last year, au earnest of what the opposition are capable of doing, and we m-ed not expegt them to relax any effort or energy to maintain the success which they achieved. It is, therefore, the duty of the American Party, in this, and in every other district, to begin the work of preparation without delay. The State Convention recommended the holding of District Conventions on the 1st of M.ty. If this recommendation should be acquiesced in, Delegates might be ap pointed by the several counties in this dis trict on the first Monday iu April next. We wish to hear from our contemporaries in the district. If they desire an earlier day for the meeting of the Convention, we shall be glad to know it. We also desire to hear their views as to the place of hold ing the Convention. Mr. Zollicoff.fr said he could not serve ss .a Vice President, as the Platform was undtrttood and tit Urprrtid. He, as a Southern man, could t ot sus tain it, nor act under it us an officer of ihis body. . Frociechn of Philadelphia CuiweHtion. Will some one undertake to inform us what that uiidtrtlandmp and interpretation was, so repugnant to our ahle Ri'preenlaiiv(, (eti. Zothcoffei? We are curious to know. Union aud American. . Again we inform our neighbor that he is not well posted in regard to the proceedings of the Convention, and recommend him to search in other quarters than among the en emies of the American party for correct and authentic- information as to what was said in, and done by, the Convention. Ou the 3rd of this mouth, we laid before our readers a correct synopsis of the remarks of Gen. Zoli.icoffer alluded to above. We repub lish them for the benefit of our neighbor, who will note the fact that the "under standing" and "interpretation" which ex cite his "curiosity," refer to what the Gene ral thought au attempt "to deprive natu ralized citizens of vested rights," and to a discrepancy between the 14th section as published and as adopted : Mr Zollicoffer flusired to state why he declined to acta oDe of the Vice Presidents. Alter some interruption lie was permitted to proceed; when be explained that, seeing published in city papers this morning, ss the platfoiui adopted by the National Council yesterday, what he had not understood to have been adopted a such platform; and having voted after the June platform was lost, for the suh-' stitute, he owed it to himself to state that he would not have voted to adopt what lie now finds publish ed as the substitute. He understoo i that the sub stitute yesterdav was the adoption of what was known as the District of Columbia platform, read in tho morning, by Mr. Evaus, of Virginia, for the platform adopted at Philadelphia in June last. He ohuined a printed ropy of it, and after examina tion, and after the June platform was lost, against his vote, determined to vote for it in a spit it of com promise. But he now called attention to discre pancies in the 8th. 14th ami other sectious, between the printed copy yesterday, which was in the hands of sundry members, and copies of the substitute, reported to be adopted in sundry newspapers this morning. When he discovered the change in the 14th section to day, he immediately called it to the attention of Mr. Bartlett, the PresiJent of the t'ouiu il, sad other gentlemen, all of whom, like himself, were uot aware of the change. Tht repor trd ehaiig in the Rtfi tertion opptr'utly attrtnptinrj to d-p ire naturahztd citizrrm of veiled right cunld uot have been to under! wid" by the Convention. (It was subsequently explained by a gentleman that the reported change in the 8th section was a mis-print, and a copy of the Philadelphia Sun was shown, fiavim; a correct copy of that section. Mr. Z illlcotler, in conclusion, remaiked that his ol jeeis was lo explain that he would not have voted for the substitute had he uit.h-istood it as now reported, and that he would reserve to himself to shape his course, ns his sense of duty iiiiyht dictate, regardless of that platform. True, this part of the platform (the seventh section) very nearly copies the (Kansas Ne braska) act. Union and American. We wish this admission to be rememlier ed. It is as candid as it was uuexpected. It is fair to presume that one party mak ing a declaration is as honest ns the other. The non-intervention principle of the Kan sas act is promidged as the touch stone of soundness on the slavery question by (he Southern wing of the Democratic party. The American Platform nearly copies the act, according to the Union and American. Tlien the two parties occupy the same posi tion. We trust our neighbor's aroreaftn- sion muy continue as clear, and his catfdVf l l :l .1 1 u cumiiieuuauie uuiii me t ioseoi ine can vass. But not content with an endorse ment of non-intervention by literally copy ing the words of an act which establishes it as law, lie would cast an imputation on the platform by stating that it contradicts itself. In speaking of the 13th section, w hich contaius this apparent cotilradit tion, we will frankly state that we cannot ap prove its spirit and tone. Hut it must be a strongly prejudiced and partial uiiud which would interpret a casual allusion to the inexpediency of a measure as a vitia tion of a direct and tnauly avowal of a leading principle in that measure The seventh section places the party on the constitutional ground of nou-intcrTen- tion. By that act it made endorsement of that principle a test for membership in the party. It will be recollected that the Washington Union, the organ of the Ad ministration, for the promotion of harmo ny, made solemn proclamation that the Democratic party did uot require concur rence in the parage or approval of the principle of the Nebraska bill as a line qtui no of fellowship with it. At before stated, the Southern section of the party demand that it shall be. A compromise has been effected by allowing two interpretations. The Northern wing fight the battles of the National (!) Democracy on the Nebraska bill, contending that, under its provisions, the sovereignty of the squatters in the ter ritories will make them free. The South ern wing repudiate that doctrine, and as valiantly fight under the same Nebraska bill, for the success of the same Democ racy.1 Tho 13Usectioo decToj:ti'opr)03itiua ou tlie Jiirt of tie Americin Party to u f administration which has condescended to use such artifice and hypcrisy. It condemns the reopening of the slavery agitation, and expresses the opinion that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was inexpedieut, reck less and unwise. It is well known that vast numbers of those who maintain the princi ple of the Nebraska bill, aud now strenu ously support it, entertained grave doubts of the propriety of its passage. While we are frank to say we are not one of those, and think the insertion of snch opinions concerning bygone issues useless and inap propriate, we cannot perceive the contra diction w hich our neighbor affects to see. That constitutional principle which guaran tees to the citizens of all sections their rights in the territories, is inscribed in un rnistakeable language on the banners of the American Party. When it was written there those who dissented from it formally dissolved their connection with the party, and ranged themselves under the black flag of sectionalism. It purged the army of disaffection and defection. While it weak ened it in point of numbers, it made it strong in the great element of strength, parity of intention and devotion to the Con stitution. And another thing: The Banner has been laboring for months to prove by Northern Democrats that the Nebraska act recognises squatter sovereignty. As the Know Nothing platform copies the portion of the act which is supposed to contain this recognition, we want the Patriate opinion on this point. Does the Kansas-Nebraska act recognise squatter sovereignty ? Union and American. And another thing: The Banner has proved beyond dispute, by Nortern Demo crats, that Northern Democrats do recog nise squatter sovereignty in the Nebraska act. And by it they have afforded encour agement to the efforts of emigrant aid so cieties iu their attempt to make Kansas a free State. They have contributed to the contention which now reigns throughout Kansas. The .argumjcnts used by Shields, and Richardson, and Douglas, and Tottcy, in justifying themselves before their con stituencies, have instilled into the Northern mind this most pernicious principle. They sowed the wind of false doctrine, and the country is reaping the whirlwind. And yet these agitators are loyal Democrats honored with high scats iu the synagogue. The Union and American asks if we be lieve the Nebraska act recognises squatter sovereignty. We say, certainly not. Nt r did any Southern member of Congress, Whig or Democrat, who voted for it, uu less it was George W. Jones, of this State, a Lincoln county Democrat. Our ?limlciol Affair.- THT. WATER WORKS THEIR HISTORY, 4C. It is of the highest importance to every community to have a bountiful supply of good and wholesome water that beverage so freely bestowed by God himself to " nourish and invigorate his creatures.'' Villages and hamlets are located on ac count of the supply of water, and the bet ter supplied they are with this element, the sooner they become towns and cities. Nashville was located on its present rocky site solely on account of water privileges. The founders of the city could have made a town where South Nashville now is, much easier and with less-expense; with smooth er streets and more level avenues, had it not been for Judge McNairy's spring on the North, Wilson's spring iu Barrow's (J rove, and the then fine spring at the foot of Spring street on the bank of the river. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been expended on these rocky and uneven streets, which might have been avoided, had it not been for these water facilities. In fact, in the early days of the city, it was an exceedingly doubtful problem whether or not a city could be made on the spot designated to commemorate the name and fame ol the brave Gen. Nash. It was for years " nip and tuck " between Palmyra, llaysboro' and Nashville, as to which should take precedence in the race for " city " honors. Finally, the latter prevail ed, aud the two former have been compar atively forgotten. As the town increased, the public interests required water in a more convenient manner than by sending to either of the springs for it. Temporary and simple water works were resorted to, but soon abandoned, as n5t being adequate to supply the public demand. Iu the course of time, the present site of the Water Works was chosen, and the city commenced in enrtiest to erect a reservoir, secure a steam engine, fcc. The undertaking was a magnificent project, worthy of the liberal hearts of those who urged its erection, and of those into whose hands the desti nies of the city were for the time being en trusted. The reservoir was built, if we are not mistaken, by William Shields, un der the direction and management of A. Stikv, engineer. The Water Works were completed in the autumn of 1833, ami in anticipation of the event, John M. Bass, then an Alder man, introduced the following preamble and resolution, which were adopted by the Mayor aud Aldermen, to wit: "Whereat, The the introduction of waler into the town is an object of great interest and import .nee to all it citizens, an 1 should be accompanied with some public parade; therefore, "oWreJ, That the Watering Committee be authorized and requested to invite the citiun aud st range. now in town, to be pre-ent at the Water Works at snch tiinea the Engineer may notify said committee of his readiness to ut said works in operation, and that said committee procure the use of the canuou, and take such other stejas to them may seem fit and suitable to so great an occasion." In accordance with the above resolution, the inauguration the Water Works took place on the last day of September or first day of October, 1833, and great was the rejoicing of the people. The cannon was fired, music obtained, and a procession formed, composed of hundreds of citizens, n large number of ladies, members of the Legislature then about to assemble, stran gers, Ac, Ac. It was a jubilee.' And from that day to this, the Water Works have not ceased to do good service, and were then, as now, the most important public improvement in the city. Let us remark, parenthetically, that the year 1833, seems to hare teen an impor tant year in the history of Nashville. Tlie Union Bank went into operation in the spring; the Flanters' Bank was chartered in the fall, and went Into epmtka ta tic BaaeBMBWBMBWBaaOMHMBWaMBMMMMBWBWBBw'l 1st of January, 1834. The Tennessee Fire and Marine Insurance Company was char tered by the Legislature in December, and its capital stock of $300,000, was sub scribed on the 4th of that month in twenty minutes; no one person being allowed to take more than $5,000 in his own name. The McKendree Church was completed and dedicated in 1833. In this year Es till's Union street lotteries were drawn. Doolittle & Munson's Map of Nashville was published in this year, ulso. The cost of the Water Works was re ported to be, for ground, superintendence, engine, &c, about $55,000. In the City Council, John M. IIill was chairman of what was then styled the "Watering Com mittee," and he devoted much of his time and energy to the important trust. Tlie first public debt incurred by the city was for the Water Works. The laying down of pipe was an expensive opera tion especially in such a rocky city aver aging, perhaps, about $4 per foot. The reservoir is situated, according to Mr. Steix's first report; 5,800 feet from the Public -Square. The number of persons that obtained vatcr rt the beginning, was of course limited; aud to this day, the pipes have not been laid in all of the prin cipal streets, even in the old portion of the city. Fur instance, there is no pipe on Vine street, from Spring to Union. The pipe on L'nion, from Market to College, has been .only recently put down. Owing to the fact that the city was compelled to lay down pipe at such a heavy expense, the work was done by piece-meals a little here and a little there :a little one year, and a little the next. Hence it is that no system was observed the pipes are not properly connected, and are of various sizes; here a six inch pipe and there a three inch. &c. As to the revenue derived from the Water. Works, it has been all the time be low the ctst of furnishing a supply If pipes, were laid throughout the whole city, the water tax would be sufficient to carrv a I on the-works; but as it is, no revenue can be derived from this source. Tlie water was furnished to so few the first year or two, that the revenue derived was only about $1,500 per annum. Now the water tax amounts to about $18,000 per-annum. It is almost an impossibility to estimate j the amount of money expended on the Wa ter Works, owing to the manner in which they were conducted, the looseness display ed in preserving the reports made to the Board of Mayor uiid'Ahlerinen, Ac. We may remark, however, that they have cost, first and lust, in tho neighborhood of half a million of dollars. And yet the system is incomplete. South Nashville has sprung tip long since tiie establishment of the Works, and since the annexation, it de volves upon us to furnish our Southern in habitants with this necessary element of life this security from the ravages of fire. j As the establishment of the Water Works is, perhaps, the most important public work ever undertaken by the corporate authori ties, the names of the men whose enlighten ed wisdom brought about and completed the work, should not pass from the memory of the recipients of this great biessing. Hence, a list of the members of the Board for sev eral years is given, embracing the period preceding and following the introduction of water by steam engines. The Board elected in September, 18.10, was composed of Win. Armstrong, Mayor; Joseph Vaulx, S. V. D. Stout, Francis Por terfield, Richard II. Barry, Joseph Litton, John Austin, Enoch Welborn, John S. Simpson, Henry Ewing, Simon Bradford, Thomas Cullender, and Collin S. Cowurdin, Aldermen. Iu September, 1831 Win Armstrong, Mayor; Joseph Vaulx, S." V. I) Stout, James Erwin, F. Porterfield, 'J.
