EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: yEDNESDAY.. - May 12, 1558. Notice To Mxmsare or Conorees.—Members of Congress can bave their speeches printed with neatness and dispatch, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-page speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union congratulates the nation upon the lull which has fallen on political wartare sinoe the issue of the Kansas conflict. Ina glance over the field it sees the opposition gen- erally engaged in the reconstruction of parties; while from the Republican headquarters in this city comes a “General Order’’ preliminary to summer and fall campaigns on northern fields of action. The Uxfon notices that in this plan the Southern allies of the party in the “reconstruction’’ are totally tabooed. {n am article on inter-State free trade, the Union, atter avowing its opinion that the great commercial powers of the world owe their richest profits to their trade with uncivilized populations, in consequence of unfettered com- mevee with such people, proceeds to argue that we are indebied for the material prosperity which crowns the Confederacy to the freedom of commerce between the States. It pointsout the rapid settlement of the West and tbe mar- velous development of the wealth of our Pacific slope as at vnce illustration and proof, and coneludes that whoever can caleulate the value of this free intercourse and commerce can cal- culate the value of the Union. The Union gives the hand of weleome and a warm greeting to Minnesota. ° The Intellicrucer notices that the proposals for the contracts necessary tocomplete the work upon the Washington aqueduct, were opened yesterday at the engineer's office. It learns that there were, in all, one hundred and twelve separate bids, out of which there will be no difficulty in selecting bids low enough to insure the making of contracts to complete the work within the estimate of the engineer. Several bids for the completion of the whole work for 8 gross sum were read. Most of the bids, how- ever, were for the work in detail. Several offer to undertake to introduce the water into the city during the month of December next, and to complete the whole work in 1859.

Mr. Curxeman’s Virws.—The ultraisms of the late speech of Mr. Clingman upon our for- eign relations are attracting no littie attention from the press of the country, the result, evi- dently, of the fact that he was, when delivering it, the chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Kelations. The opposition press of course seek to make the Administration re- sponsible for all the peculiarities of the tal- ented North Carolinian’s views upon the fili- buster question, though they are notoriously contrary to what has been President Buchan- an’s invariable record on the subject since the delivery of his inaugur voted down by the Democrats of both Houses whenever gentlemen sharing his idiosyneracies on the subject have ventured to bring them before either branch of Congress in a shape in which such an expression of Congressional sen- timent upon them could be obtained. Most gentlemen long in Congress mount hobbies— it’s a way they have had since the foundation of the Government; and so long as our Govern- ment lasts veteran members will in nine cases out of ten be found mounted on particular nd have also been This fact is so well understood here, as that no one in Washington dreamed of entertaining the idea of attributing to the Administration sympathy with Mr. Clingman and afew other * members and the well known fili- buster lobby in Washington, in their sentiments and views with reference to our country’s future relations with and rights in and to Central America set forth with so much talent and enthusiasm by the distinguished and worthy gentleman from North Carolina. (which embraces 1 settler in the way of a refu- tation of the plea of the opposition press, on the strength of Mr. Clingman’s speech, that President Buchanan has turued filibuster, and is now bent on aiding the speculators in Walk- er’s grants of mines and the lands in Nica- ragua of which he for the time being plundered the natives of thatcountry he murdered.) is so eapitally set forth in a late article in the New York Herald, as that we quote it for the edifi- eation of the Star's readers, as follows : Tpon the Cass-lrisarri treat ‘we apprehend, speaks rather the s) Southern propagandist of the ¢ school than the views of the administration. holds that we ought to exercise our influence over Nicaragua to secure the right of wi hopes that the treaty making power of States will not allow any re; by which our interests will stated, he said, that a stea New York, under the late arran, into, secured the by the Nicaragua ‘Transit route, has issued a proclamation that sers shall travel by no other line Clingman asks, somewhat indig, any such restrictions be placed on and are they to submit to an enormous monopoly, granted by the government of a coun. hot more than half a million of croes and Indians ?°* y silly questions, “all-creation’ y Mr. Clingman, vMpathies of a neral Walker lation to be made damaged.

These “ope- rators’’ find their dreams of making money out of the success of Walker's peculiar system of operations ‘- squashed up,’ if the Nicaragua treaty be ratified, and are therefore seeking to compass its defeat, with mightand main. Their idea is, that if Nicaragua can once more be opened to the teader mercies of the clas of per- sons of whom Walker, his followers with arms in their hands, and the operators in his serips and confiseations. they will finally succeed in clutching the privileges of the trausit route, that have so long been a bone of contention be- tween those known as the steambuat commo- Jlence much the opposit cation of the treaty that comes from the filibus- ter lobby proper, in this city. They struggle against the ratification as desperately as months against the negotiation uf the treaty. unanimous popularity throughout the country warns them of the necessity of pretending to be advocates for its ratification, and of basing their opposition only to its clauses permitting Nicaragua to place the transit route in any hands she pleases, with a guarantee that it shall be kept open and run for the accommo- dation of all alike, and be for the use of all on equal teruss. de de.
