The Neutrality Act.
As there is much talk now about tho
Neutrality laws of tho United States, we
publish in another part of our paper to
day the act itself, that all persons may
see and read it for themselves, and draw
their own conclusions as to whether Gen.
Walker violated any of the provisions of
this act by returning to Nicaragua, a
country of which he was a citizen, and
claimed to be, and hud been acknowledg
ed by our government, os the legul head.
If any of the enemies of his cause can
point out a single clauso in that act that
ho has violated, wo should like to see it,
and have it explained to our satisfaction.
Being, or claiming to be, tho head of .the
government of Nicaragua, he hnd the
right to return there, when and how ho
thought proper, and if citizens of the
United States thought proper to go with
him, they hnd the right to do so, and if
they saw proper, also to tako arms with
them for tlioir protection. If tho expe
dition had been fitted out for the oxpross
purpose of making war upon a friendly
power, then thore might be some ground
for charging him with violating our neu
trality laws ; but the fact was, he did not
tit out any expedition at all, as he merely
invited emigration, and ns the head of the
government, held out inducements to
those who might feel willing to Brave the
daugers of a settlement there, to go with
him, and if need ho, protect themselves
in their right to the possessions they had
legally acquired. Walker being the head
of the Nicaraguan government, he of
course wns not at war with that govern
ment, but was only seeking to maintain
his authority and regaiu a position from
which ho hail been unjustly and unwar
rantably ousted by au officer of tho Uni
ted .States Navy, and therefore did not go
back to make war upon any government,
but merely to exercise the functions of
ruler of his own, to which position he
had been voluntarily elevated by its
citizens. Nothing that ho has done, from
the first inception of his enterprise, has
been violative of our neutrality laws, or
the laws of nations. Ilia first advent into
that country was at the invitation of its
then acknowledged head, and after he
had accomplished his mission of estab
lishing that government on a firmer basis
than it had beforo occupied, and was so
licitous to return to his own country, the
united voice of the whole people entreat
ed liiA to remain with them, and after
he had consented to do so, they elected
him as their ruler by an overwhelming
vote. This act of the sovereign people
of that Republic was recognized by our
government, and his minister accredited
at Washington as tho representative of a
legal government, and friendly relations
and intercourse were established bo
tween tho two countries. He still holds
that position, and although by tho unau
thorized interference of tho naval officers
of tho United States ho lias been twice
defoated of his purpose in establishing
his government on a peaceful and firm
basis, lie is still the head of tho Nicara
guan government, ns ho has never been
rightfully deposed, and the term for
wbioh he was elected has not yet trans
pired. Being tho head of the Nicaragu
an government, his right to return there
to was indisputable, and on tho soil of
tho United States, on the high seas, nor
any where else under heaven's broad
canopy, had our government the right to
arrest him or his friends, without they
had committed some flagrant and indis
putable offeuee against its laws, and any
act of our government to that cffoct was
equivalent to a declaration of war against
that Government. Such being tho case,
it is the duty of our government not only
to give him indemnity for past aggres
sions, but ample security for tho future,
and restore him to ns favorable a position
as that from which he was taken by our
over-zealous officers. He can only ask
this, and it remains with our government
to grant it or not. Ho is weak and pow
erless, and cannot enforce his claims by
the “least argument of nations,’’ and un
less our government has tho magnanimi
ty to grant him his just dues, ho will be
compelled, ex necessitate, to forever give
them up. Were ho in a position to exact
his olaims in the terms of a nation of
comparative power and strength, we
doubt not they would be yielded to him,
and all tho nations of the earth not di
rectly interested in keeping Nicaragua
and all Central America from becoming
portions of tho American confederacy,
would approve the act.
Tto* African Slave Trade.
A dispatch to the government of Great
Britain from the south coast of Africa,
dated Ootober 19, 1867, says :
Ihe slave trade is assuming anew as
pect. The French Government has gone
boldly into it, and the British squadron
are ordered not to verify the colors of a
French vessel, whether legal trader or
not. American ships, on the contrary,
are searched, seised and confiscated, in a
manner violative of our doctrine of the
right of search.
The subject has been laid before the
Cabinet.

Death of a Widow at Prayers.
A lady named Catharine Gray, who re
sided in Newark, N. J., fell dead in her
house at an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing, while at prayer. Her death is attri
buted to grief and depression of spirits
by the death of her husband, who was
lost by the wreck of the Central America,
on which he was a passenger. Both the
death of herself and husband have been
occasioned by the delay in the reception
of a letter by her husband, who was in
California, lie sent a letter containing a
check for $250, and stated that when she
acknowledged its receipt he would forward
another. By some means the letter was
delayed, and a number of steamovs having
arrived since he wrote, without bringing
him an answer from his wife, he feared
that somethiug was wroug, and took pas
sage home in the ill-fated Central Ameri
ca, and met a watery grave. Three chil
dren, the youngest but two years old, are
now left orphans.
Forgery toy a Dog.
A largo dog had been accustomed to
get bits of money from his master to go
to a meat stall to get his lunch of fresh
meat. One duy, when change was short,
his master gave Growler a piece of white
paper on which was an order for the
meat. The dog aftor much urging, car
ried it to the meat stall and received his
food, and so for several days, when,
thinking one piece of paper was as good
as another, he would pick up pieces of
white paper and carry them to the stall
without applying to bis master. It was
not long before a long bill came in from
the meat dealer, who had such confidence
in the dog that ho did not think to look
at tho paper, and the dog himself was
very fat. No arrest was made, and the
dog occupies as respectable a position in
society as ever. —Bangor Union.

Gen. Walker’s Letter to the President.
Washington, Jan. 6.— Gen Wm. Walk
er has written an able letter to President
Buchanan, in which he demonstrates the
lawfulness of the expedition in which ho
is engaged, as well as he proves the ille
gality of the arrests and interference of
Capt. Davis and Commodore Paulding.
General Walker demands a reparation.
He repudiates the name of “pirate,” and
declares emphatically that he will not
relax his efforts—and while his faith in
right and confidence in good endures, he
will endeavor to regain what has been
wrested from him.
