Our correspondent enters into ©b Carbest argument to sbow that the government of the United States is wrong in not accepting these treaticr, and feeling for Mexico in hor pre- sent straite as a sister republic should feel—that is, in her pocket. But the advocates of these treaties forget that they involve « principle fo- reign to our whole rystem of government. They require an expenditare of several millions of dol lars from the national treesury, which would only come back, under the plan proposed, into the pockets of thore of our citizens trading to Mexi- ©. This is expending money for the benefit of « claee—e thing that our government is strictly probibited trom doing. We feel for Mexico io Ler provent distress, bat we cannot bat perceive that had Presideot Comonfort, at the commence- ment of his dictatorship two years sinoe, ostab- Mehed a low tariif oa importations into the coun- ity, be would not be to-day without revenue, nor Mexico without eommerce.

The revolu- tioniste will no doubt wait until that time whea anew and unpractised Assembly must debate every little etep the Exeoutive may be required to take, and if we are not mach mistaken the resalt will be aparchy or a dictatorship within a short period. Debating assemblies are bad governors in peaceful times, and worse in a tme of public dieorder. Perhaps Comosfort may mako & coup d’dat before he is shora of the power, to save his country from the confusion that now seems to await her. 4 ‘The Isthmus Routes—The Duty of the Ad- mulnistration. The probable failare of Waiker in Nicaragua presents again the question—what shall be dons to open that transit route? That it mest be opened ina manner to make it available to the safe and permanent use of the commerce of the world is evident to every one. Kren if the monopoly at present enjoyed by the Panama route were placed on a seeure basis, the fact that it is a menopoly requires that a competing reate thould be opened to the use of commerce, Post- master General Campboll, in his inet snnaal ro- port, sets forth in strong langasge the extortion practised by the Panama Railroad Company for the transmiseion of our maila, and the exorbitant prices obarged for passage and freight to and from San Francisco at this time is a just sabject of complaint on all sides. But the existence of that route even rests upon @ very inseeure foundation in the present precarious state of our relations with New Granada. Tho destruction of a bridge, the tearing up of a fow rails, the euspension of tho trains for a few daya in a country where rains pour ix torrents for nine months in the year, may lead to such destruction and washing of the embankments as to require an almost complete reconstruction of the road. It is evident, therefore. that the Nicaragua Transit route must be opened and made perma- nently safe for the use of trade. In considering how this may be done we must first weigh the state of affairs there and the social elements of the communities in immediate contact with and in possession of that isthmus, Bat two of the States of Central America, Costa Rica and Nica- Tagua, have any direct interest in the question. ‘The other States that have taken part in the struggle against Walker have done se from a well grounded fear of his undisguised ambition, and a want of confidence in his ill-digested ideas as a statesman. They all seemed united in thelr ac- tion, but the trath is they have been anited only in their opposition to Walker. Even in the presence of the enemy quarrels have continually existed between the Central Walker shall have been finally disposed of, the troope of the several allies will be withdrawn and disbanded, and the two States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua will be left to that action which the social elements that form them may dictate, ‘The firet of these republics has » population, according to her last census, of 90,000 whites and 10,000 Indians, including the savage tribes vited the interference of Walker in their domestic quarrels, During the late struggle Nioaragus has played a very insignificant part, and now is about to be divided among the other States or ceded wholly over to Costa Rica as the pro- ponderating power in Central America. Whichever course may be adopted is fruitful of intestine disorder and external interference. There are already abundant signs of internal strife for the fature. Leon shows Little disposi- will be able to establish our influence upon a Proper basla, and make such arrangements as will place the security of that route beyond » peradventure. But let Mr. Bachanan be wary who be sende there. Let us have no moro such diplomatiets in Spanish America as Whoeler, Bowlin, Morse and the like We want no Wee tern, or Southern, or Northern political stump speakers to go there and write diplomatic derpatches for buncombe, but men who are ani- mated by other views, men who can hold social converse with the people and their leaders, and who have some comprebensivences of view. And sbove all, lot Mr. Bachanan determine to remove that great stumbling blook in the path of peace oa the isthmuses, the Clagton-Balwer mis- take, NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1857. ‘The Bend street Murder—Arquittal of Mrs. OCunmeingham—Dtecharge of Kokel. ‘Tho extrsordinary and ones that baa beea occupying the Coart 0’ Oyer and Termiser ie this city, and absorbing » large share of public attention in this community and througtout the country for the past week, was drought te a finale inst evening. It onded in the acqatial by tho jury of Mra Emma Auguste Cansiogvam, otherwise called Burdell, oa the iodiotment for the murder ef Hervey Burdeil on toe night of tho Ota or morning of the Sia of January bast. ‘The day bad bees ccoupied ia the summing up of counsel on cack eide—the District Attorney and the Attornry General apeaking for two bours eaob, and the twe counsel for the defence for the same length of time. At a quarter before six o'clock the Attorsey General closed the ons, and Judge Davies proceeded to okarge the jury. In Court there was bat one opinion as to the felrnoes, clearness, ability and impartiality of the charge. It ahewed a mind devoid of prejudice on the one aide or partisanship on the other. It presented: the facts in the case with olearnessand, perepiouity. Ono’ of the: highest compl@snts {oat coadd be: paid te it: was that: mo excop:ion was taken to ¢ by counsel on oither aide. ‘The: jury. retired for consultation at sovea o'okobk, or a few minutes etter thet hour. It wes © foregeee . conclusion. with. them, aod with all who watched the progress’ of the cage, what their verdict should be. [no half 0 bour they returned with a verdict of not guilty, and the cowed was discharged from oastedy. ‘There is ne doubt as to the propricty ef the ver- dict in view of the weak caso made out by the proseoution. On the part of Mr. Eckel—who was not on trial, bat who was in coart throughout tre whele proceedings—it was moved that he be discharged from castody om his own recognizance. The mo- Gon was granted, and Mr. Kokel was discharged from custody on entering into his owa recogni- zence in $5,000 te-appear in the Coart of Oyer and Tes miner at ite next sitting. ‘The counsel for the defence on geveral ooce- sions indioated Dr. Blaisdoll as a person who might kmow something about the mysterious murder, and who should be called on to acoouat for bis whereabouts on the fatal night. We hare received s commasication from a friend of his, which we publish to-day, from whioh it appears that that friend and other gentlewen were in the company of Dr. Blaisdeil trom seven o'clcok till balf-peat tweive o'clock thet night. The Bend street murder, easuming tho verdict of the jury to be a righteous one, ls now a great- ex myetery than ever. Warton Was ras Victon.—We have two ver- slons of the private fight which took place the other day between the Hon Daniol E Sickles ead Mr. Moleod Murphy, at the room of the former, at Willard’s Hotel, Washington. Mr. Marphy eeys that he gave Sicktos « hand- eome dressing; sad Mr. Siokles saya that he laid i inte Murphy til he cried “enough.” Murphy refers to the appoar- ance, respectively, of the two combetants immediately after the fight, as affording some satisfactory evidence as to the party most damaged in the ght. The Seoretary of the Navy appears to have sbaped his course accordingly, in the dis mieeal of Murphy as Engineer at the Brooklya Navy Yard; for we can hardly suppose that Mr. Toucey would have tcrned Murphy (a brother Gemoorat) adrift, if he hed beem eufficiently pua- inbed by Mr. Sickiea. The action of Mr. Toucey fo the case ia, theestors, conclesive in the matter, that Murphy was the bad boy and that Mr. Sickles was the sufferer, aad there is no need of another fight to settle the question. Mr. Marpby unfortunately forgot the difference between the eoouritics which are thrown around © member of Congrees at Washington and hie free and equal standing among the boys at Tammany Hall. A member of Congrees is a Chinese Mandaria at Warhington, and there he must be respected. The Tammany system of personal eatisfaction does not apply to members of Coogress on Pean- sylvania avenue. Let not that important fact be forgotten amovg our democratic officeholders haviag persooal accounts to settle with demo. cratic members of Congress under the eye of Mr. Toucey.

A few deye ago we bad cocasion to comment upoe the prevailing liceetiowsness aad immorality of the journals 0: Boston, Philadelphia, Cinoin- nati, Chicage, St Louis, and other minor oitiea. We took the position that while the motropolitan eecalar prees hed beca gradually improving in its moral tone, and while there was good reason to believe that the effeot of this example upon the religious press would be most galatary, the press- 9 of the cities above named seomed te vie with ech other in bestiality. Certain olroumstances geve the puritanical city of Bostoa pre-eminence in the disgueting race. The courts of Boston and vicinity have been engaged, for the past six weeks, in trying the most disgusting cams ever known. The journals of Boston, almost without exception, gave the evidence in full, placing par- ticular empbasis editorialy upon the dirtiest de- taila All these details were greedily snapped up and reprodaced in the journals of the other pro- vincial cities. Why? Simply because the pro- viacial editors Lack the ability, tact and industry syequired to make'a really "good newspaper—a journal which chall give the news of the day, with sound, onblased, indepeadent editorial commoat upoa the samo; and they eagerty alexe upon mat- ter whioh ministers to the depraved appetites of a |” portion of their readers, hoping thereby to make | the papers sell and conceal their own deficiencies at the.aame time. We were not at all surprised at the greed of the Boston papers for obscene |’ matter, or at the voracity displayed by « portion of the public in swallowing it, for when your etrict Poritan falls, he falls like Luoifer, never agaim to rice. We were prepared for the extra- ordinary statement of the leader of the Boston bar, who told the jury in the Dalton divorce case that filrtation euch as his client was proved to have participated in, was a common thing among the higher olasses of Boston—that is, that married women, hardly through with the honeymoon, made a practice of meeting strange young men in the street, arrang- ing wesignations at cafés, riding with their lovers to hotels in the suburbs, remaining with them in private rooms daring several hours, and encourag- ing amorous correspondence. We were not sur- prised to know that the topic in drawing room conversation at Boston was how far a married woman might go with a lover not her husband, and keep within the limits of the law, and that young ledies hardly in their teens pronounce opinions upon the question not to be surpassed in accurate knowledge of the law and the facts by the judicial luminary whe presides on the Supreme Benob. We traced all this to ita proper source—the local press. In order to self a few hundred papers, the journalista of Boston blunted the moral sense of the community and brought disgrace upon aa honorable profession. The newspapers in the other cities followed the infamous example of the Boston editors, and we see already in the increase of crime the deleterious effects of a depraved, Hcentious and immoral press. That the above statements cannot be gainsayed is evident from the course of the provincial press since the first article upon the subject appeared in these eolumna. Extracts from that article have gone the rounds of the press, accompanied by comments which do not touch upon the real point at lame Tho journalists have contented thomselves with the usual abuse of the Hexatp and its editor, which, however piquant it may be, hae realty nothing to do with the matter. In point of fact it rather helps our cae, If we represent Satan rebuking sin —if we have repented of onr carly errors, while the Puritans beve fallen baok from grace, Is not our position preferable to theirs? Is there not more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety aud nine jast men? And shall the onoe just maa wto returns to wailow in the mire escape eternal damnation’ No, The question is not whether or not the editor of the Hsracp is a great rascal, but whether or not the statements made by us, and the deductions drawn from those statements, are ave. This question has not yet been met by any of tbe provincial journalists, and we must re- queet in the most polite manner that they will confine themssives to the point we raised, which is, that in this age of progress they have retro- graded—that they have pandored to baso appe- tites and poisoned the minds of their youthful readers until they bave at last become ready to embrace the vice which they were at first taught to abbor The whoie fact of (he matter is, that within the last ten years the leading New York newspapers bave kept pace with the spirit of the age, while the country press has been forced to the wall. The extension of railways throughout the country has gives the metropolitan press a cirouladon in ali the principal cities far greater than that of the local journals, which have been compelled to Tesort to the worst devices to maintain a sickly existence. The provincial editers, thea, ocoupy their time partally by abusing the New York papers, partially in stealing trom them, but chiefly to digging up records of the Githiest crimes for the entertainment of the grog stop and the deleotation of the drawing room. Whon the crimisal recorda become no longer intoreet- tng, becaune they are no longer obscene, we Gad these guardians of the public morals praising the immoral drama, and Inuding an aotrem fors faithful representation of the life of @ woman of the town Wo tell them now, that they are feithiew to their bigh miseion, and that they deserve only the ecora and coutompt of overy good cltuzen. ‘The Ntaten Liland Resellion.
