So much has been said about the Niceragua treaty,in the newspepers, and 80 many curious con- jectures have been made in regard to it, thata simple statement of the facts in the case cannot but be welcome to the pabhie«. First—We haveamade and concluded a treaty with England, about the Nicarrgus canal, which treaty contains ceftain stipulations long ago pub- «lished to the world, which both governments have respectively actepted and ratified. In this treaty, England renounces ali claims to the protectorate over the Moequito coast, and all right to take or keep possession of Sun Juan, either by military oc- cupation or o'serwise. England will, no doubt, fulfil that ; art of the tresty stipulation, though it must be ac.nowledged that she takes her own time about it, perhaps with a view to annoy and nish Nicoragua, whose government seems to nove incurred Lord Palmerston’s digpleasurs. The foot is, Great Britain has not been fortunate in the selection of her diplomatic agents te that country; and the State of Nicaragua, whose standing army, with an effort, may be raised to one hundred and fifty men, and whose (inances are scarcely in a condition to main'.in them, has shown a very de- cided predilection in favorof the continental go- vernment of the United States. Afterthe treaiy with England was ratified and signed, Mr. Squier concluded another treaty with Nicaragua, whose stipulations on seme very essen- tial points conflict with, and are directly opposed to, our ratified treaty with England. This Nica- Tagua treaty, thus conilieting with our treaty with England, Mr. Clayton, nevertheless, sent into the Senate for ratification, with the remark that it re- quires several ay encments in order not to inter- tere with the British tre Mr. Clayton’s busi- ness as Secre* ate, Was to keep the treat; inthe State Le , and to negotiate wit! 7 rms as would not interfere giand.

Louis, Nov. 9, 1850. GrNTLEMEN :—A short time ago | was honored by the receipt of your invitation to attend a meet- ing to be heid in your rising city, ‘‘to take into consideration the action of Congress in reference to western interests.” The printed resolutions mea- tioned in your letter were not forwarded with it, as the letter imported, and I have not had an op- portuni'y to see them till now. The deep interest which | take in the objects of the Convention makes me regret very much that my professional duties deny me_ the pleasure of being present at the meeting. All that remains to me is to express my hearty concurrence in the prin- ciples and opinions declared in the preamble to your resolutions, Surely ** the time has arrived. (I think it had ar- rived long ago) when the increasing population, wealth, and power of the Valley of the Wtlssisaippt demands the action of Congress” to protect aud advance their great and varied interests. And the time has gone uy 1 believe, when the doubts and scruples of metaphysical politicians can present pay serious obstacle to the accom- plishment of the great ends proposed. No man of sense and experience, who has gotten, or hopes to get, the title of a national etatesman, will, | think, any longer deny the constitutional power of Congress to do for us all that our geographical position end our physical necessities require. No such man will, { think, venture to teach the rising generation that they live under a government too impotent to protect the most important interests of the people, too restricted and hampered by nice constructions of the constitution to improve and fructify the glorious land we live in. That day is past—gone, | hope, forever. The principle is decided, but the great political question remains—will we carry out into beneficial action what ninety-nine in every hundred of us believe tobe soun Re icy and wise expediency ? We can if we will. Nothing is wanting but unity of thoughtend ection. Only concentrate the real senti- ment of the valley; let it ae with one voice, and that voice will be potential in both houses of Con- gress. We have not yet a numerical! mejority, but that isnot necessary. Give usbutunity, and we bave the strength to carry out our honest, fair, reason: able objects. The valley is already strong i actual numbers; strong in the vigor and enterprise of nationwt youth; str its position, and ia the natural conformation its lands and waters, perp | and heinming in, as it does, both the North and the South; strong in its broad extent, and in the indissoluble unioo of its parts, for it is one and indivisible; and stronger thaa all in its growing condition, and in its justvand reasonable anticipations of future screngih, The day is not distant when the wilt of the Mississippi valley will be the law of thé land. Then peadenee and for- bearance and a national spirit will be our duty, as much as unity of action and earnestaess in de- manding our rights is now our privilege. L have said thatthe valley, great as itis, is one and indivisib'e. It has been so contnved and ar- rapged by Him that made it, that it is past the power of man to put its parts asunder. Passion may suggest transient causes of quarrel, and folly may urge us into fraternal contests, but still our portions are so connected, and our permanent interests so interlaced and identified, that we cannot afford to be other than mutual friends and assistants. [ere in St. Louis, we need the pine lumber of the upper valleys of New York und Pennsylvania, and the iron ware of Pittsburgh, and they are brought to us down the beautiful Ohio past your doors; we need the pelfries of the far western plains, and the furs of the Rocky Mountains, and they are floated to ve some two thousand miles down the Missouri; | and it would be & serious interference with our do- mestic comfort to den ti the privilege of mingling on our tables the sugar of Louisiana wich the erauber- evel Minnesota. a leprecate, ag much as any man, the enlisting Of cectionel feclinge nad loeel. iactoues os Cosatat with the REHCial comtimonte of the nation, or the common good of the country. But the West is not asection. It is the body of the nation, some three, thousand miles in length, and about as broad as it is long, and, in point of population, eentaining al- » perhaps, a third of the whole. Besides, the gs and passions of the Western people, like their interests, are not local aad sectional. They are, for the most pert, immigrants com’ from every State in the Union, and mixiag with every variety or men ; they soon wear off all feelings and prejudices that are merely local. They love the nation es a whole, avd they love all its parts, for they are bouad to them by the recollections of childhood and youth, by blood and friendship, and by all those domestic and social charities which sweeten life and make this world pleasant. The interests of the Western valley are essen- tially the interests of the notion, and if they be supported with unanimity by those more imme- diately concemed, the national government must yield, I trust freely and willingly, but must, of ne- cessity, yield to every justand reasonable demand ; and none other ought to be made, Begeing your pardon for the length of this letter, I thank you for the honor of your invitation, and remein, with the greatest respect, your obliged fel- low citizen, Epwano Bares. ‘To Mesers.

Atpresent the honors of fanaticism are, as it were, easy—being divided between Vermont and South Carolina. { cannot imagine how the Legislature of South Carolina to get over their own inconsiderate act, in making a demand on the President for a syatement of hisreasons for sending additional to Charleston, and asking whether they were there to remain Sa ‘The demand presuppeaes and implies that South Carolina stands ina doubtful, if not hostile atti- tude towards the federal government. The Preei- dent refuses to answer the demand. What next? A Southern friend of mine replies that the Legisla- ture must stand in a very awkward position, or must issue an order to the Sige to withdraw, and propose toenforce the order. ‘The demand of South Carelina, it must be admitted, assumes, at least, that she isa State independent of and separate from the Union. One power can ask of another power why she is arming? This government asked of Great Britain that question, during the Oregon ne- gotiations’; and?the reply was, that the armaments would be found convenient and useful, in case of a collision. But I do not place implicit belief in the assumption that the five additional companies were sent to Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie for the express purpose of guarding against any sudden caer from an exactive government to take and hold possession of them. f that was the object of this goyernment, it implies more distrust of the prudence and nationality of the government of South Carolina than is at ail justifiable by any- thing that the State has yet actually done. Tus Presrytextan Syvop or Misstssirpt.—On the 27th ult., the Mississippi Synod of the Presby- terian Church, met at Vieksburgh, and on Monday, the 2nd inst., adjourned to meet in this erty (New Orleans), on the second Wednesday in Jan., 1852. The Synod consists of four Presbyteries, embrac-. ing all the region ot Texas, Louisiana, and most of Mississippi. ‘There are, in these bounds, eight) ministers. The proceedings were conducted will great harmony and decorum. From al! we can learn from several gentlemen who were present, we should infer that this bod was legislated with the view to do the good of all men, without seeking merely to propagate the pe- culiarities of a sect. Instances of this might be specified, but our space torbids. The only squint- ing towards polities—that stumbliog block of so many church legislators—was manifested, as we are informed, on the discussion of a report, in which the opinion was set forth, that the right observance and improvement of the Sabbath were calculated to promote the best interests of this glorious Union. On this the whole amount of political fuel was consumed, and the entire debate, as furnished to us, is a8 follows :-— Rev. Mr. Mr. Moderator, I would suggest to the brother a slight change in one word which offends mony persons in this part of the country, The word « pation” would, perhaps, be better than “ Union,” Rev. Mr, Mr, Moderator, I am utterly opposed to the change. If it has come to this, that we cannot, in thisSynod, use the word “Union,” I think it is high time for mi: reto begin to preach politics. © Mr.-———, an elder lawyer.—Mr. Moderator, I think that those m who would object to the “ Union’ would dislike the word “ nation” still more. This ended the political debate, and all seemed to acquiesce in the gratifying thought that we hi yet, not only ‘‘a home and a country,” but a na- tion and a “glorious Union” likewise.—New Or- leans Picaywne Curnents or THE Ockan.—Captain Foster, of the steamer Alabama, informs Lieutenant Maury that ashort time since a bottle was picked up on the east side of Old Providence Island, in the West Indies, twenty-two months after it had been thrown overboard off the Cape of Good Hope. But for being cast ashore here, this solitary cruiser would probably have entered the Gulf Stream, and then it might have been cast up on the shores of Europe. The investigations of the currents of the sea, which are conducted with so much labor and pa- tience at the National Observatory, have led to some curious and interesting discoveries. Among these we are informed that there is reason to be- heve in the existence of a current from the Red Sea around Cape Horn, trios the West Tudtvey warty by way of Btrean, ty English Channel; and, maracves, that thie curreat from the Red Sea divides itself the other side of the Cape of Good Hope; one part of which passes around this cape to the West Indies, aa in the case of the Old Provideace botde, while the other por- tion passes south of New Holland, thence in a outheast direction to the regions of the ice or land of the Antarctic Being here deflected it returns to the north, ag the ice-bearing current which en- ters the Atlantic on this side ot Cape Horn.
