The substance of the Jupilci of Uni

ed to be, in affect, that the Nicaragua
Government will avail itaelf of the aol
of the British fleet to prevent the land
ing of Americana emigrating to lira*
country, for 'he purpose of co!«tii/.ation.
Krcry American who visits Nicaragua!
for the purpose of settling in that coun
try, will only t«j recognized by the Bri
tishi Governm -nt as a flllabuster, and
•rested accordingly.
Tile whole <|ue»tion is now settling
down to a Itrilish protectorate over Ni
caragua. Arms and amunition were
furnished by the British Government to
Costa Bica, and other Centrcl Ameri
can States, in the first place to drive liie
Americans out of N'u aragua, afier they
hail been placably invited there by a
very large portion of the |ieop!e of that
republic, ll was through British in
trigue that Costa Bica, Guatemala,
s , ■ Salvador, and Honduras combined
f.,r that purpose, and raised tin- I loodv
flag and war cry of to all Xorlk
, Amerlmuf'"
Btit -ll guns in the hands of Ceils
Bicans broke up the Nicargna Transit
I route while ur der the control of Amer
ican citizens, and the British fleet at
San Juan they protected the Costa Bi
(tans in holding the properly roooco
from our people when this outrage wns
committed. The Clayton liulwcr tres*

of the British < Internment. It can co
ver "Monsieur Belly’s *cbt me, but not
i the rights of American citizens, notwith
standing thev were in peaceable posses
sion of the Nicaragua Transit route.
These are all the I*, and are sustained
bv records at the State I fepartment. If
not lime the facts cm be instantiated
by the very Iks, testimony. I he policy
of tbe British tlovemmcnt will soon l«s
! distinctly understood. It will .assume
I a protectorate over Nicaragua, and A
] mericaii emigration to that country
will be atiictly prohibited.
I Tbe British fioveri.merit was iustru
imntal in procuring the expulsion of
Americana from Nicaragua; and now,
having them out of the van airy, its po

W « ptopoae presel ling one or tw
preliminary reasons that should goveri
the K lection of the nelt President:*
< mjidate of the I>eroocr»tic party.—
The iisue* involved in companion with
those for some yean part, are like to lx
of let importance.
In the contest ix-twren the Federal
ists and Kepuhiicans, Mr. Jefferson
• as filed upon as the Iteptlblicau lead
« r, upon the liank question. Geo. Jack
son; and it was becnu-e those distin
guished patriots so completely involv
ed the issues in question as to make
their nominations a 'foigone conclusion'
l!ut for some years past there has been
no open or avowed issue* presented,
arid as a consequence, our elections have
turned upon subordinate or temporary
questions, in which availability a.wavi
took f-recedc-ncJ over lllustiicus servi
ces, and frequently over i-atriotic con
sideialions. In lw.»2 Mr. P-uchanan
w.is thrown aside for Gen. Pierce, and
when such an idea had never entered
the head of a single delegate !>efore h«
left home. It was not because Gen. P.
wits the emliodiment of the wishes ol
the people, that be was chosen over
tlo-man w ho uu loiil-ti-. j; y r- - - it.
the majority, but la-cause the political
managers considered him the most
“available.” We make these remaik“
in no captious spirit, (for we voted for
t o-n I’ 1 hu* on!v t-i -d.-iSfratea l-rmc
pie. Hut the political ttiHfiagi-r* haw)
exhausted ilnir tactic' iu •going it
blind," and as wo sai l in the begin
ning, the Contest in lSdO will doubtless
turn at last rqioii principle, and it is
therefore eminently right and proper
to commence the di.cuns.on ,*it this
i rir'y period.
We have always thought that, other
things being equal, thee -i n * of :■ . -. i -
tv should be regard i; and whilst no
aie opposed to binding the detimctncy
bv any arbitrary rule, still, in consider
ation ofolir premises, we decidedly and
unequivocally think and declare t! t
the next President should conn- from
the r> .nth. And with our pr- rn---*, 01
rather, our reservation in ii »—otli'i
things la ing equal—•» think we s!.o.d<
j articularize Kill further. A g* i-ron
aid catholic spirit ha* always charac

“Tired to death!” repeated her mo

“Ye*, mother, I am almost, I mean,'
I she added.
' “No, my daughter, not even almost,’
said Mr*. Mill*.

world ” and in the next mtnnte aara
“she would not fail’’ of walking still
further “for all the world," she not on

hut foolishly. It isa Very bad habit to
us* such expressions.
"Yesterday, wheu you came home

1 inquired as to the cause of your alarm,
you replied that yoa had turf at many at

ter, I wish you to break yourself of th s
bad habit. When you are tired, or hun
grr, or heightened, use the simple
words that express your meaning.—
For instance, you may l* tired, very
1 tired, or exceedingly tire*!; or you may
!« aiarm-1, or heightened, or terrified.
"Km.in this time let your lips speak
the thing you mean. The l.tble ‘ays,
“Let vour v<-s l«e yes, and your nay,
nay;” and add*, that "whosoever is
more than these cotnelh of evil.’’ Will

"Ye*, dear moth r,” replied Jane,
"for I know tt i« wrong, and I feel

-Well, my dear,” added her mother,
I improve! And now you may get rea
