MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS
AND PHCENIX BITTERS.
I ‘IAHE best family medicine now before the public for the
1 I cure of Scrofula , Ulcers, Scurvy, or Eruptions of
j the Skin,Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Dropsy, and,in
] fact, most all diseases soon yield to their curative proper
ties.
It has been computed, that during the last twenty-five
years, upwards ol four millions of persons have been ben
efitted by the use of these medicines; a fact which speaks
volumes in favor of their curative properties—a single trial
will place them beyond the reach of competition in the
I estimate of everv patient. By their use the BLOOD IS
I RESTORED TO A HEALTHY STATE and freed
\ from all impurities The system is not reduced during
their operation, but invigorated, and they require no re
i straint from business or pleasure.
The afflicted have in these medicines a remedy that
I will do for them all that medicine can possibly effect.

A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. SAND FORD’S
INYIGORATOIi,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
rpH*S IS ONKOF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MEDI
-1 c.l discoveries ever made, and is daily working cures
almost too great to bel e e It cures as it by magic, even
tht- fir?’ dose giving benefit, aud seldom more than one bo’tie
is required to cure any kind of Liver • omplaint. from the
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common head ache, all of
which are the result o a diseased Liver.
The Liver is one of the principal regulators of the human
body, and when it pericrms its iu ctions well, the powers ol
the system are milv doveloped. The stomach is almost en
tirely dependent on l tbe healthy action of the Liver for the
pr ;per performance o’ its funeinu.s. Wheu tbe stomach is at
fault, trie t wels are at fault, and the w. o e system nutters iu
consequence of one. organ—the Liver-having ceased to do
Us duty. For the disease ot that organ, one ot the • roprietore
has made it his study, iu a practice of more than 20 yeflrs, to
find some remedy wherewith to counteract the many derange
ment s to which it is liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last found, auy person trou
bled with liver complaint in any of its forms, has but to try a
bottle and conviction is certain.
A compound has been formed by dissolving gums and ex
tracting that part which is soluble for the active virtues of
the medicine. These gums retrieve all morbid or bad matter
irom the system, supplying n their place a hea thy fl yw of
bile, invigorating the stomach, causing food to digest well,
purifying the blood, giving tone and -health to the whole ma
chinery, removing the causes ot the disease,and effecting
a radical cure without any *f the disagreeable aftereffects,
felt by using Calomel or viineral Poison, that are usually re
sorted to.
To all who will follow these directions a cure is positively
guaranteed.
Sick Hwadache can be cured by ihe use of I or 2 tea spoons
ui taken as soon as the auack is felt.
The lnvigorat.r never fails to cure sour stomach, or the bad
effects experienced afer eating
Billious attack* yield leadiiyioone bottle, and Chronic Di
arrhoea, difficult as it is to cure, is never iron desometo those
who take the Invigorator.
For Dyspepsia, Jaundice, uo'hingin the known world acts
so fully or cures s q iickly as the Invigorator. It removes
all yellnwnesh and unnatural color from the kin.
For >'igh:mare,takt . d<-e bes re retiring, audit Is war;
ranted a sure prcv mauve.
For Fern a'e Obstructions, it is a safe and sure remedy as it
removes the cause oi the \iDease.
lostiveness canßot exist where the Invigorator islreely ta
ken while cholic yields readily to a few doses.
It must be known that all these are Liver Diseases,or caus
ed by a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs a Liver med
icine end OL6 of great power. The Invigorator is such^med
icine; it hßs melical powers never betore discovered, that
will cure ail diseases, of the Liver, no matter of how long
standing or what'may bo their torn. The active medicinal
virtues extracted rom the gums used is such as to be aston
ishing to all who see their effects, tornone can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit. It acts as a gentle cathartic,
ami should always be taken iu sufficient quantities to oper
ateoo the bowels gently. The best. way to take it is to take
the me-iicine iu the mouth, then takes me water and swal
low both together. In* this way the medicine will scarcely
be tasted.

\ DREAM.
BY ?ARL FISHm-
From the Journal of Commerce.
One n-iglit while gently sleeping.
An angel band was keeping
A w atch o’er me;
I saw in happy dreaming,
A vi ion brightly beaming
In heavenly light.
A spirit’s voice was whispering—
While I entranced lav Itst’ning;
Sweet words of love.
Like softest music pealing
O’er tranquil waters, stealins
Upon the wind.
Then came the bright one hov’ring—
My couch so gently cov’ring
Wilh angel wings
I heaid her sweetly telling
The a’ a els ’round my dwelling,
“ i’ll guard his sleep.”
•‘Sleep on thy peaceful slumb’ring,
While 1, the hours numb’ring,
Will hover near;
And when the morning breaking,
Reveals thy happy waking,
I’ll tell thy dream.”
The morning light came streaming
Over the sleeper, dreaming
Os one in Heaven.
The bright one o’er him winging.
The folds of .lumber flinging,
Whispered—‘Awake.”
The dreamer’s lips then pressing.
She murmured lorth a blessing.
And ha awoke.
He spake a happy greeting—
To which the vision fleeting,
Smiled, and was gone.
But still, the dream revealing—
Her voice the promise sealing,
Alihough unseen.
Tis thus, each peaceful morning,
Tiiisstar of Heaven’s adorning.
Tells me a dream.
The Execution of DonOly for the Marder of Moses-
Extraordinary Speech of the Culprit on the Scaffold.
Donnelly’s speech.
Having bade all bis friends adieu, the culprit
proceeded to address the spectators in a clear voice,
as follows:
To my friends around me, to my friends in New
Jersey, to inv friends in New York, to my friends
in Buffalo, and to my friends in my much beloved
home, Washington, I address these last words.—
My friends extend over a vasi country, but my dy
ing words shall reach them when Donnelly has J
breathed his last. 1 feel that here surrounded by j
the minisiers ofjustice, by mv friends, by such a
military display, that the inevitable decrees of jus
tice are about to be carried out, and that 1 am j
standing on consecrated ground. When I 100k 1
back, and when I reflect upon tbe life I have spent,
aud when I lo k above me, beyond ihe darkness of
the future, I feel that I stand upon the throne of
consecrated ground—ground consecrated to jus
tice, so called, to a martyr —to a man innocent in
the sight of God. When I reflect upon my youth,
when I reflect upon those who arega’hered around
—mv old schoolmate* among the number —why
should I not be impressed with the sanctity of this
hour ?
Anything that I may s v m'w will be said in the
fear of death. God is my Witness that 1 would not
bring desolation to any man’s hearthstone ; but be
lieve me in my dying hour, when I s>y th ;t there
are persons yet living—there are those living—who
perjured themselves in the sight of God. I have
no animosity —no ill-feeling—no revenge to satiate
at this moment. If mv past iife has been spent in
sin, I have tiiis day received the holy sacrament;
I have placed my trust in Christ, t feel that there
is happiness in store for me Go i kno • —my 1
father, tbe cotifi -sor hern knows—i am not guilty ;
of tlie murder imputed to me. You .-e before, you
not an indifferent or callous man. Tlu-re is hell,
wide and gaping, ready to grasp oil within us
reach. There is Heaven, those realm-- of grace, j
where I see my mother beckoning to me to come |
to her, ready to receive her child. Truly, this is ;
consecrated ground. In the latter part of March [
last I left my father's house and came lo New York j
for the purpose of preparing myself for a change j
in life. 1 there and then procured a place. Sho-t- ]
ly afterwards 1 was uiiforiunate enough to go io
the Sea View House. A lew days bait been spent j
there when a murder was com oittmi. Yen have j
all heard of it. Each and every on of you have ;
heard and read the evidence and expressed an op.n- ;
ion thereon.
The speech then goes on to review the facts j
connected with the murder and to give Donnelly’s (
version ofvarious points of the evidence. It then [
continues :
Then take, oh friends, the dying declaration of j
your friend Donnelly, given after having received i
all the rites of the Christian church, made with an
awful appreciation of his fate. Take my dying |
declaration and weigh it. Oh, people of Monmouth!
people of the good old county of Monmouth, you
have cause to be proud ofyour ancestors; but oh, if
Monmouth was ever disgraced, if ever a blot was
cast upon the bright escutcheon of New Jersey,
you’ll behold it when you see me dangling between
heaven and earth. Oh, yes there is more than
ihe ghost of a shadow of doubt. Oh, Judge Vreden
burg, you’ve got your wish, but the people of Mon
mouth county can rise superior to the courts, or the
courts themselves above the political quicksands,
or they will never prove worthy of themselves.—
Judge Vredenhurg said before the trial that Don
nelly was guilty. Oh, may God forgive him A
stranger in a strange land, hundreds of miles away
from my home, I was assailed by that Judge, who
tried to blast my reputation and good name, ot
which 1 was proud. To thus crush an only son,
the support ofan aged father, to thus ruin his char
acter and cut him down in the veiy threshold of
mv manhood, was a severe blow indeed. Take
that charge ot his—that fearful charge, one hour
and three-quarters in length—read it all over, and
see if you can put your finger upon a single word
of it where he spoke favorably of me. The only
thing that poor Donnelly had to stand by him was
his good character. It was unimpeachable ; and,
my friends, is it not so now ? Even that was as
sailed, and trampled upon. From New Y’ork I re
ceived hundreds of letters establishing my good
character. In Washington the people condoled with
me, and did all that could be done to save me.—
There lives that pure angelic creature, who at this
moment is imploring God to have mercy on ray
soul. She, with thousands of others, will not be
lieve me guilty.
My counsel, also, worked hard for me day and
night. They struggled, but all to no purpose.—
For the want of one vote Donnelly lost his life.—
Oh, receive mv poor body to-morrow morning—
place it in the iiolv sepulchre—never be startled at
the whispering of the winds, oh, Melissa ! Oh, my
friends, cherish my name, receive my dying declar
ation—receive it, and lay it to your souls as a prec
ious unction. Oh ! always vote ; value you fran
chise now. Remember, by force of one vote Don
nelly lost his life—three votes for, lour against.—
ihe chancellor of New Jersey was for giving me a
new trial. Oh, while that opinion is on record Don
nelly never should have suffered. [The Sheriff
here, through one of the clergymen, reminded Don
nel.y to be brief.] Oil, iet me say my last—let me
say all I’ve got to say, and then I’m ready to suffer.
Five out of the eight of the judges of the Court of
Pardons are in favor of granting me a pardon, but
there is a little proviso in the constitution saying
the Governor must sign all bills. Oh, Governor
Newell, never write a letter to a convicted man in
prison and quote Shakespeare to him auain. [Dr.
Cummings here spoke to him.] Oh, let me finish.
I only speak what comes from my heart; my blood
curdles. God, receive my soul, receive the tears
that I have shed—that are being shed now; iet
them drop at thy feet as precious jewels. Unto
thy hands I consign tny soul, Peccari! Peccavi!
I know, oh, Jesus, that I have sinned. Nothing
that I could do could atone for the great sin I have
committed. I offer up this sacrifice. In a tew
moments I’ll have to advocate my cause before
your throne. I have no fear, oh God, relying upon
ihe atonement of Christ. I appeal to Thee, oh
God, with a quivering lip—have mercy ; have mer
cy! have mercy! [Shuddering.] Oh, what a
death !
THE CLOSINS SCENES.
The wretched man spoke nearly two hours. —
He then took leave of tus friends for the third and
last time that day, shaking them all warnih by
the iiand.
Prayer was ajain resorted to by Donnelly, who
kneeled bv the side of his confessor, and receiving
the last benediction, prepaied himself tor the total
moment.
At three minutes before two o’clock the halter
was placed around the neck of the culprit, ami the
black cap over bis head, when he exclaimed, ‘ Je
sus, have mercy on mysoui! Oh, my Gmi, into
Thy hands 1 commit mysoui.”
At one minute before two o'clock, all being in
readiness, the sheriff asked the culprit if ho was
ready to die. The latter nodded an affirmative,
when the axe fell, the weights dropped, and Don
nelly was suspended in the air. He gasped and
drew himself up several tiinps. Fifteen minutes
after. Dr. Finnell announced that his heart tiad
ceased to bea’. The body hung thirty minutes, and
was then cut down and placed in a mahogany cof
fin inclosed in a box, winch was taken to the cars.
The usual inscription ou a small silver plate on
the coffin told the name and age of him who lay
within.
Tiie body was take to New Y'ork the same eve
ning tor interment. It will be deposited in the
Eleventh street burying ground. It was his desire
to be buried at Georgetown, D. C.
His dying declarations of his own innocence and
of the guilt of another person whose name is pur
posely omitted from the above report are wll lly
discredited.
House of Represnlafves.
The President's message.
Ou motion of Mr. Morgan, of New York, the
time for closing debate upon the President’s annu
al message was extended to two o’clock.
On motion oiMr. J. Glancy Jones, of Pensylva
nia, the House tiien went into Committee of tbe
Whole on the state of the Union. (Mr. Phelps, ot
Missouri, in the chair.) and resumed the consid
eration of the President’s annual message, the
question being on the amendment of Mr. Maynard,
ofTenncsse ,to refer certain portions of it to the
Committee on Military Affairs, to which Mr. Thay
er, of Massachusetts, had submitted an amend
ment.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said the proposition
was to refer certain matters to the Committee on
the Judiciary, and to instruct them to report
upon the expe iency of a repeal or modification of
the exis'ing neutrality laws. When the subject
was first opened for discussion, lie had given some
reasons why he thought there ought to be either
a repeal or modification of some part of the act of
1818. Those reasons had been commented on ai
large by gentlemen on both sides of the House,
and he wished to say in the outset that he did not
intend that gentlemen should occupy his ground,
and st nd betore the country as the advocates of
law ami order to the exclusionof himself and
those who agreed with him. That was the ground
upon which he stood. He was there to-day to de
fend law and order—constitutional law and inter
national law. He disclaimed the charge that he
was in lavor of individuals violating public faith.
So far as the laws of the United States eouid act,
declare, and set forth the law of nations, lie em
phatically denied that lie wished to erase a word
or modify a syllable. He was not in favor of re
pealing or abrogating our neutrality laws, but it
there was any part of the law of 1818 which ad
mit'ed of a doubt, lie was tor removing thai doubt.
Section Btti of that law did admit of a doubtful
construction. Different administration of the gov
ernment had put different constructions upon it,
and it should be made eiear and distinct and be
yond doubt. He challenged contradiction that un
der that act as it stand* the President could use
th* l army or navy at all. It was only by construc
tion, by interpolating some words hr the langua
ge of tiie law, that tie could give it that meaning.
As the section stood it was meaningless, and he
maintained that it needed revision.
Mr. S. declared that he was n u opposed to the
President using such portions of the naval and land
forces as might be necessary to enforce the law. —
In his opinion the President should be cloihed
with such powers, but there was another doubt,
and ttiat was whether or not the President, under
that section, could use the land and naval forces
outside the maiine league. He repeated, as he
said before, that he did uot believe that it was the
intention of tiie act to confer that power. The
laws or legislation of this or any other country
were to be interpreted and undeistood to apply to
the jurisdiction of the law-making power, unless
the contrary was expressed. Tuey were bound to
suppose that the legislators did not intend anything
but an international law.
Mr. Groebeck, of O .io, called the attention of
Mr. Stephens to section third, which he contended
provided that where a person or citizen outside
of the jurisdiction of the United States fitted out
a vessel against ihe citizens or vessels of the Uni
ted States he should be tried in the courts in the
district where he should first be brought. He con
tended, furthermore, that the eighth section gave
authority to the President to employ the naval
force to prevent the commission of those crimes
outs.de of the United States.
Mr. Stephens replied that that was the gentle
man’s construed n and inference. The person
committing the offence was to be taken, but he was
to be taken inside of the United States, and that
was his argument. The President of the Unfed
States could not use the military force, even the
militia, or army, or navy, except by provision of
law, and here at the begining he differed radically
with almost every gentleman who spoke on tiie
opposite side of the question. The gentleman from
Ohio himself had aaked where, was the limitation
under the eight section? What constitutiona
feature of the law was violated? Where was
the restriction upon the President or the naval of
ficer ? There was the difference between them,
and he asserted that the President could not use
the army, or navy, or militia but in the enforcement
of tbe judicial proceedings under our inte-r- territo
rial law. He maintained that the President could
not use any force of the United States but in obe
dience to process. This power was given to him
in 1795, and in 1808 these powers were delegated
to him in cases of instruction. Now, where was
the limitation ? The gentleman bad only cited
the latter part of the Btii section, which reads “for
the purpose of preventing the carrying on.”—
What did “prevent” mean ? Tbe gentleman ar
gued that it meant to break up. He said it did not
mean that. Prevent— prevenier —to prevent, stand
in front, (as of the m, rme league,) stay back,-tand
before, prevent Irom going, or being carried on,
over the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
In 1794 Congress passed an act to prohibit the
carrying on of tiie slave trade over the United
States to an> foreign State or country. He read
from that act to show that vessels engaged in this
trade were liable to be seized and condemed in
any of the criminal courts for the district, not where
a vessel may be found on the high seas, but where
it may be seized-within the marine league—and
contended that this was a parallel case with th
other. In his judgement, if the eight section gave
the President the r.ght to send the navy outside
the marine league, it gave him also the power to
send it into the interior of a country.
This was anew case, and they should establish
principles as they progressed. Liberty—consti
tutional liberty—and the rights of the people de
pended on their being settled rightly. Toe gen
ileman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Mongtoroery] said
that under national law it was the duty of the gov
ernment to restrain its citizens. If he referred to
the comity between neighboring nations, agreed
with every word, but he did no* agree th it gave
the government the right to go .nlo any nation and
arrest offenders. There was no power in tne Uni
ted States, nor did the iaw of nations require them
to prevent American Citizens, either by one or two,
or i* hundred, from quitting this country and going
to another, and there joining an enemy. He then
read the opinion of Daniel Webster, as expressed
in the Ashburton treaty, to sustain this position.
Mr. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, remarked
that Walker had made war npon the sovereign of
Nicaragua.
Mr. Stephens refilled tha’ lie did not set up the
sovereignty ot Nicaragua, out said that they had the
right to go there. Nicaragua had no sovereignty
The only elected President by p puiar vote was
William Walker; the only legitimate sovereign of
that country was William Walker, and he would
nave been there to-dav nsseure in his place in tiie
affections of fhejpeople a* onr Chief Magistrate, it
Commander Davis had not illegally arresa ii him
Mr Montgomery, of Pennsylvania. Perhaps
th-* gentleman will have no objec ion lo a joint re
solution to send him hack to the affections oi the
people.
Mr. Stephens replied that he vantod him cent
back, and had said so in the begining, but it was
what, lie wasaffraid tiie government would not do.
An outrage had been committed upon him, and he
would repeat that the conduct ofCommodore Panl
iling was robbety and kidnapping. Restitution
should be made. Send him back just where you
found him, with all his men, arms, and pro
visions. It was all he asked and all that William
Walker asked the country to do, and he would
show whether or not lie had the affections of the
people. His arrest was a stain upon the national
escutcheon, unless wiped out by restitution.
Mr.S. also read from the correspondence ot
Daniel Webster onjTexas, to show that there was
no authority to prevent, or attempt to prevent,
American citizens from leaving their country and
going to another. Waddy Thompson had used
similar language. The.e was no law to prohibit
American citizens from leaving their country with
their arms in their hands. Military expeditions
were prevented, but he contended that Walker’s
was not of that character. He repudiated the
charge hint Walker hid sailed m hand of our laws.
Armed expeditions should he put down. He was
no: opposed to the neutrality laws, hut was for
having hem clearly and distinctly expressed. Arm
ed expeditions he was against,bin whenever Ameri
can citizens wished to change their allegiance (they
had the right to do it. And as they had tiie con
stitutional right to bear arms in tlii* country, they
could carry them with them wherever they sought
to go - . He stood by the Executive in vindicates
the laws of the country, and if Walker had commit
ted a wrong, let him be tried for it In his opinion
he had violated no law. When he was President
of Nicaragua, tiiis government had recognized him;
and recognised no other government than his un
til after he had sailed on his last expedition. Let
no man say that he was in favor of violating na
tional faith—of expeditions not sailing under the
national flag. He should be ready to hail with
defight the stars and stripes whenever they waved
over a gallant navy, when the gallant officers of
our navy did their dnty, no one would more ap
plaud than he; but tiiis intefi rence in Central
America was doing British work, and that he
could not applaud. He was for maintaining the
constitutional rights of American citizens, and, ac
cording to that. constitution, no man, either citizen
or foreigner, could be deprived of his life, liberty, or
property, and by these principles would he stand
or fall.
From .Nicaragua —Surrender of Col. Anderson.
The correspondent ot the New York Herald
gives the following particulars ot the surrender
of Col. Anderson to Capt. Sands, ot tiie Susque
hanna.
Proceeding to the steamer Fulton, I presented
my letter and was afforded every facility for com
munication wilh the filibusters. They are mostly
yoou., men, seemed to be in good health and spirits
and sanguine of better success another time.—
They look upon the arrest of Walker and his forces
as an illegal stretch of prerogative on the part of
the United Statu.- authorities Asking of Col, An
derson a statement, lie referred me to Dr. Hauiy,
from whom I received the following :
Statement of Dr. Haniy, one of the officers un
der Col. Anderson. —We landed ou the J4ih Nov
ember at the mouth of the Colorado river, with
forty men and five officers under the command of
Col. Anderson. We proceeded up ihe river to take
possession of LeaFs I laud, and for the purpose of
cutting off communication on the San. Juan River.
We worked our way up in common four-oard boats
ag iirist a three mile current. It was hard pulling,
and took us twenty-four, horns witnoutsleeping,to
make twenty four miles. We rowed all night,
and landed early next morning in tiie surf. We
left Leah’s Island tor Fort Castillo on ihe 29th,
by order of Gen. Walker, to get the steamer, if pos
sible, and take possession ot the fort.
We landed one mile below Fort Castillo, at 8
o’clock on the night of the 3rd ol December. Afier
cutting our way through ihe cuapperai at side of
river, we gained the open clearing around the Fort
at 11 o’clock ihat night. We rested until 1 o’clock
next morning, Dec. 4 it, wheu we attacked tiie fort,
and after killing one man, took it by surprise. We
captured six pieces of cannon, w itn one hundred
and fifty stand ot arms, and made prisoners of
Col. Farncisco Aiderado and eighty men under
his command. We also got possession of three
steamers. On tiie sth we sent up steamer Ogden
and captured the steamer Virgin 9 miles above at
Torro Rapids,
On the 6th we started the steamer Morgan down
to Gen. Walker, with prisoners taken from steamer
Virgin and the fat.
We heard no more Irom down the river until
Dec. 18, when we were informed by a Col. Rodgers
of the arrest of Gen. Walker and ins men, and their
return to the United States. After the receipt of
this intelligence we burned the fort, spiked the can
nons, and stiiped on board the Ogden all the avail
able property, cattle, &c ; and left Castillo on the
20th to go down the river. We stoped nine miles
above G.eytown, on the San Juan river, where we
were visited Dec. 24 by Capt. Joshua I’. Sands.—
At 11 o’clock a man-ot-war boat under his com
mand with a iorce of marines, from the U. S.
frigate Susquehannah, put off from the steamer
Morgan. When about 300 yards off, he commen
ced bowing very politely. When Capt. Sands ap
proached us, he asked “who was our commander?”
Col. Anderson answered “he was.” After which
Capt. S. replied, “Will you come on board, sir.”
Col. Anderson went on board of the Morgan alone,
was asked on the upper deck, and, in the presence
of three ot his officers, the following dialogue took
place;
Capt. S.—Well how are you getting along up
here ?
Col. A.—Very Well.
Capt. S.—l’ve come up to take yon.
Col. A.—Have you orders irom Commodore
Paulding ?
Capt. S.—No, sir, I’ve orders directly from the
department.
Col. A.—l think lam out of your jurisdiction.
Capt. S.—l could take you in Kamschatka.
Col. A.—Well, sir, I suppose I will have to go.
Capt. S.—Yes; call your men on board.
Coi. A.—You had better go od bo;.rd and tell
them yourself.
Capt. S.—l will. Will you go in my boat ?
Coi. A.—No, I thank you, I will go in my own
boat.
Captain Sands then came on board tiie Ogdon
and left soon, saying lie wouid send an engineer
and pilot ou bead, get up steam and take us down.
We arrived in the harbor on the 28th December,
when we were shippe ‘ on board the Fulton, and
thence proceeded to Aspmwall, where we arrived
the Ist of January, 1858.
Not only these men, but also parties who have
hid opportunities for knowing the sentiments of
Uncle Sam’s government, assert ttiat there must
be-“someihing rotten in t e State of Denmark,” for
Gen. YValker, before his departure for Nicaragua,
was assured oy friends of Mr. Buchanan and Mr.
Cass that iu his undertaking he had tiie sympathy,
and, if needs be, the protection and assistance, ol
the United States government.
There is a rumor here that Costa Rica and Nica
ragua have adjusted their difficulties—Costa Rica
abandoning all pretentions to Forts San Cai I <s and
Castillo, as well as the control of the river San Ju -
an. Costa Rica also consents that the department
of Guanacaste, occupied by the government of
Costa Rica, shall be nominally considered the terri
tory of Nicaragua. This leaves the whole que6-

tioti in the some position that it has been for a long
time past, it is said that four hundred Nicara
guans had arrived at Fort San Caring to strengthen
that point previous to Anderson’s leaving Castillo
md iliai this fact hurried his departure therefrom.
Another correspondent says:
Col. Anderson and his men appear to be in the
m-st of spirits and the pictures of health. They
ill utter loud and long invectives against the pn s
etit administration, whose humble supporters they
were. “To kidnap us from our homes;’ “they
can never get us to enlist as volunteers iu the Mor
mon uar,” “we are citizens of Nicaragua;” “I
have Lim seal of Rivas to that effect;” “and then
even l’aulding said, had Walker been three miles
up the river lie would not have thought of molest
ing him; and then they sent a boat’s crew 20 miles
after us and the captain comes himself to fetch us.”
“That is a compliment, so they think ; and what
safislaction are wo to receive! None! I’ll make
it a piivate matter, and the first tune I catch any
of those buttons on shore iu the States that have
assisted to this act and have been offensive, it I
don’t beat him, why, he must beat me.” All this
and a great deal more has been said to show their
resentment.
Anderson tells us that his boys had, at tiie peril
of their lives, collected sixteen head oi cattle Irom
the C eta Ricans, and got permission to sell them.
Alter he had made the sale, old Scott, Cottrell and
the captain of the Susquehannah collected and di
vided the money. He had three boats which be
longed to themselves and with which they went
up tiie river Colorado, and in which he was at first
given tiie privilege to sell; but as he protested
strongly against the unfair disposition of the cattle
money, saying that he lound no “honor among
thieves,” they came to tiie conclusion to dispossess
him ot tiie privelege formerly granted; and besides,
one ol the boats was what one of the officers wan
ted ou beard, and had looked for iu vain; and old
Scott thought tie had lost enough of the company’s
properly to entitle him to the others, and as he
promised to give Cottrell a sail when convenient,
the matter was settled amicably. “Wnen shall we”
thieves “meet again?” Those that were at the
Point witlt the General declare solemly that old
Scott stole ah their whiskey and pork, and then he
claims English protection. 1 understand that the
Eugiisb Consul is most indignant that he had not
some finger in the Christmas pie, declaring he has
never been so scurvily used with a division of the
spoils since he has exercised her Britanuic Majesty’s
functions on the Mosquito shore.
Ilis a gaeat mistake to believe that the people
here are opp osed to Walkfer. lie has many true
friend- and symsathizers here, and it is impossi
ble that it slionld be otherwise ;lor to live here any
time is to become a filibuster. The Americans
here upon the Isthmus have certainly been in a
situation to judge feelingly of the vacillating policy
of our government, and have become supremely
disgusted w ith all th y hear and see. Old Buck
and his old fogy Cabinet are all blissfully ignorant
ot our necessities and the Stale ofattairs iu Ceuttal
America, and are resolved not to learn.
The Neutrality Act of 1818.
Tiie only pretence of authority for the seizure of
Gen Walker aud bis men is in the charge that he
was acting iu violation of the Act of 1018. The
only sections of that act having auy relevancy to
iilis expedition (assuming it to have been unlaw
ful ill the first instance,) are the following ;
Sec. 6. That if any person shah, within the ter
ritory or jurisdiction ol the United States, begin or

citizens of any foreign prince or state, or of any
colony, district or people, in every such case it
snail be lawful for the President of the United
States, or such other person as lie shall have em
powei ed for that purpose, to employ such part of
the land and naval forces of the United States or
ol tiie iinoiia thereof, for the purpose of taking pos
session ol and detaining any such ship or vessel,
with her prize or prizes, if any, in order to the ex
ecution ot tne prohibitions and penalties of this act,
and to the restoring the prize or prizes in tiie ca
ses in which restoiation shall have been adjudged,
and also for the purpose of preventing tbe carry
ing on of any such expedition or enterprise from
the territories or jurisdiction of the United States
against the territories or dominions of any foreign
prince ors‘ate, or ot any colony, district,oi people,
with whom the United States are at peace.
Sec. 9. That ii shall be lawful for tae President
of the United States or such person as he shall
empower for that purpose, to employ such part of
the land and naval forces of the United States, or
tff the militia thereof, as shall be necessary to com
pel any foteign ship or vessel to depart the United
States in all cases in which, by the laws of nations
or the treaties of the United States, they ought not
to remain within the United Slates.
Sec 10. That the owners or consignees of every
armed ship or vessel sailing out ot a port of tiie
Unfed States, belonging wholly or in part to the
citizens thereof, shaii enter into bond to tbe Uni
ted State.-, with sufficient sureties, prior to clearing
out the same, in double the amount of the value ol
the vessel and cargo on board, including her arma
ment, that the said ship or vessel shall not be em
ployed by sucli owners to cruise or commit hostili
ties against the subjects, citizens, or property, of
any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, dis
trict or people, with whom the United States are
at peace.
Sec. 11. That the collectors of the customs be,
and they are hereby respectively authorized and re
quired to detain any vessel manifestly built for war
like purposes, and about to depart the United States,
of w hich the cargo shall principally consist of arms
and munitions of war, when the number of men
shipped on board, or other circumstances, shall
rem.er it probable that such vessel is intended to
be employed by the owner or owners to cruist or
commit hostilities upon the subjects, citizens, or
property, of any foreign prince er state, or of any
colony, district, or people, with whom the United
States are at peace, until the decision of the Presi
dent be had thereon, nr until the owner or owners
snail give such bond and security as is r quired of
tne owners of armed ships by the preceding section
of this act.
It it should be assumed, as we have said, that
Walker violated this act (nn assumption however,
which is successful!v controverted) before or after
going on board tiie Fashion there is no authority
of law either domestic or international, for hi- sei
zure after he had passed beyond the jurisdiction of
the United States.

The climate gives him the ague; the water brings
on diarrhoea ; the food, as cooked by the Suckers,
produces dyspepsia; the whisky, tinctured with
strychnine, makes him crazy ; or, if a temperate

Number 4.
