A treaty had been neogo- tiated b-twcen England aod Honduras, by which England relinquished to the latter the aovereign- ty of the Bay Lands, providing in the oes sion that there sball never be any slavery | thera. Now with this engagement the United States have po concern Hondarae has the | right to establish or prohibit slavery in her ter- ritories, It is an act of internal legislation with wh ch other nations have nothing to do, Eng- land relinquished to Hondarae a portion of its territory to which she never had the slightest juet claim; and it wae an act of presumptuous arrogance to annex this or any other such condi- tion to what was a mere restoration of foreibly withheld property. Nor has the experiment of England in the emancipation of her West Indian colonies been eo fortunate AW justly to lead her to force her example upon other Powera In the original draft of the Dallas-Clarendon treaty, we wre further advised, there was a clause which de- clarcd that ® conventon having been entered into betwern England and Honduras, which provided that the Bay Islands should be @ “free territory,” as part of the republic of Honduras, the contract- vg parties—England and the United States— thould respect the aaid convention in regard to the mghts and jorisdiction of Hondaraa According to the Kuglish view of the subject, “the convention hetween England and Honduras exprerely declared that slavery should never ex- ist in the eaid ‘free territory.’ The United States Senate, however, has intreduced words which provide that the gevernments of Kngland and the United States may recognize the sovervignty of the Bay Islands without being boond by the express condition of the convention which pro hibits clavery.” Upon this point, with their usual proctivity towards the abuse of the United States the letding London journals diverge to in it. And this ir all we bed a right to do But what could heve followed the double-faced clause ot ‘sovereignty,” “independence,” 4 The Pay Islands have been recently sttled b, a god many British eubjects—“spontancous set- th ment,” a# Lord Clarendon calle this seizure of appear to be exactly as he choosea.

Sbrewd and far reaching Euglish statesmen have not overlocked the value of this position, ard thie bnowtedgn 1s the true key to the present diffienlty. England claims the right, ‘under the Clayton-Balwer treaty, to “protect” Houduras or sny part of Hondaras, and she forks, wih this specions protection of a coloay of Britirh eubj- eta, the possession and control of thie magbificent naval ation and the isthmus rovte whieh it covers, With these views of the general sibjast, what is the true poticy of Mr. Bachanant Ciearty to surpend all fursher negotiations with Euglnd opon Central Americen affairs till tho mecting of Cougress, and then to ask of Coogrees the abrogation of all oar exirting Central American treaty obligations, inoludivg the Ciayton- Bulwer treaty, aod the repeal OF our neutrality Pawa Thus we sbail be loft free to pursue oar oan couree and our own policy, and perfectly free are elected, who, howevor keen and canning they may be in making investmeota and managing ba- sinces generally, have not that cl-ar-headedness ‘and intellect which would eoable them to master the most complicated socounw and detect crror or fraud in them They muet be, to a greater or less extent, depen dent on the honesty of their employés; and it would se+m that boneety is, in thi« aA regerd-d 6 am unremunerative virtue, Therefore it ts that the instances of emb z2lemeut ary so oame- tous, They will cease to be eo when the heads of ewablisbmenta are more clear-headed. more at- tentive to their business and lem reliant on the integrity of their employés, It might p«albly have a good cffect if soma of thea» embesziing gentlemen were as summartly treated as Me.
