I WALKER ON MARCY The Nicaraguense (Walker's organ) announces A SUSPENSION Or DIPLOMATIC KELA TIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES I 4-in ereat form and angei thus, 1 ?In a brief note, which may . be taken as a model of mtniiiteritl ignorance, official rudeness, and reckless violation of public law and inter uiatorial usages, Mr. Marcy . asserts that the revolution lately effected in this State was the work of foreigners ; and expresses himself iu credulous that the people, or any - considerable portion of any party, have given their assent to the Government of those claiming to exercise po litical authority in this State. As to Mr. Marcy's ignorance we have noth ing to say. We have no means of knowing how long it takes knowledge, of which all the rest of the world is possessed, to hud its way into the State Department : nor to what extent the at teution of a Minister of State, specially charged with the foreign relations of his government, may be pre-occupied with . the affairs of a party at home, to the exclusion of information from n brod. It may be that the urbane Secretary of State has had so much to do with Hards and Softs, Know Nothings, Black Republicans and spoils. that he Uas never heard of the two years war which has lately prevailed between the Liberals aud Servitos of Nicaragua ; of the .nine months siege of Granada by Sorez, with an army at one time amounting to twr, thousand men ; of the invitation extended to' American Democrats by the accomplished aud lamented Castiuon : ol the acceptance of the offer by General Walker ; of his arrival with fifty-six men : of the little army en trusted to him by Castil!on,in which the native force was never less than three to one of the Ameri cans, who were themselves citizens of Nicaragua by adoption : nor of the bloody fight at Riyas nor of the battle aad victory of La Yirgen ; nor of the brilliant movement by which, in conjunction with Yalle and Lusaraga, and other gallant native democrats, he surprised and took Granada and restored peace, wnicn lor tnree montns j nas re mained unbroken throughout Nicaragua, andun- threatened, unless by Mr. Marcy and his confede rates, foreign refugees, and political speculators at Washington. Mr. Marcy s ignorance, we repeat, is none of our business, even if he still thinks Nicaragua in South America, as he once said to a distinguished gentleman or our acquaintance, cut when he undertakes to question the validity of a foreign government, ana to express an opinion upon it viarmna tit i T a nwn nr umi () m n,uvAa a a. buke, and he has gotten it, as will be seen from the following decree of President Rivas, and let ter of Don Fermin Ferrer to the Hon.

He continued as hiich'r tweuty-three ballots, ami then, on the 7th "of Decern ler, fortnally withdrew his nanie, and Mr. Banks was nominated iu his stead. After the thirty-fourth ballot, upon, which Mr. Bsukt re ceived one hundred votes, lacking eleven of i be ing -.elected, Mr. Thoriugton, a Republican r()ra Iowa, oflered a rtsolutiou to elect by a plurality vote, but subsequently " withdrew; it. After tU Ar..n:..i. t.oii.j- i...: ed by Mr. Hickman, a Detnocrai from Peimavl. vania. 1 his resolution was lax upu the table. A similar resolution was at various tinies offetsd by members of ttte Keimbhcaii arty,, hut as often defeat! by the united votes of the Ameri cans and Democrats, erubined wfth those of a few Republicans who were opposed to Mr. Rink In the progress of the slrugleJ however, it lie came evident that several niemb rs of the Demo cratic party were preparing t unite witl jl.e Republicans in carrying the resolution, aui'. this impression doubtluss determined tho Ranks men to cling to him. That the latter regarded the passage of such a resolution w intwing hit e(ec tion, was evidenced by, the fad that they niiU fornily voted for it, and that l)e .so considered i( was manifest! by iis invariably voting fji if. The Americans constantly opposed it, UxaUss they felt convinced that the adojrtion would phu-e Mr. Banks iu the chair, and tlieV resorted to ev ery parliamentary expedient to defeat it. , H : On the 15th iff January, Mr. Washburn; a H publican from Maine, renewed the proposition to. t-lectliy a pluraUty vote. f-Mr. Cingmau,of North Carolina, a leading Democrat, stated that for two weeks he had been iti favor of adopting suc)j a resolution, but lyss disinclined to t after hearing the answers of Mr, Banks, on the. 12th, to the questions propounded by Mr.ZolHcoffer and ali ers to the several candidates. bu" a motion to lav the resolution on the tablei two Democratic supportersjjL-Mr. Riliardson-f-to wit:. Messrs. Barclay and Hickman, of Pennsylvania-vo(cd in the negative, but the resolution was tabled by a vote of one hundred: and five! to one hundred and one.' After this a plurality resolution was several times' pressed upon tLe House, but was defeated. On the 80th of January, Mr. Clingiian introdeced it, and upon couutuig the votes there were 106 yeas and 110;nays; the following Dem ocrats voting in the aflirmativefviz: BarcLty, Clingman, Iiickmari, Kelly and Williams. : On the 2d -of February, Mr.; 8.

Spiith and Williams, Democrats, voting for It. Aud thus the election of MrBanks was insured, as he on the same day received tho number of votes necessary under tliat resolution to elect him. j Before this triumph of Free-Soilism was achier- ' ed, the American members had, for the puppose of preventing such a catastrophe, matle overtures . to the Democrats to unite witlj them in sujiport-; ing men of the latter party other tlian their cau cus nominee. Twice they proposed the nam of William Smith, of Virginia. Theu they olliervl the name of Mr. Porter, of Missouri-, whoj thoiigh he had generally voted with the A'mericaas, did not belong to their organization, ' A motion was made to lay this proposition on the. table, whRh was carried, there being 144 yeas and 69' na') In favor of tabling the proposition there were thirty-nine Democrats. If they had voted iu the negative, the motion would have failed by 'a vols of one hundred and eight to one hundred and fi ve. On the 1st of February, Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, proposed the name of the. Hon, William Aiken, of South Carolina, as Speaker, and he received all tlje American votes except cue. When tlie. final struggle came on, ou the next day, Mr. Ai ken and Mr. Banks were the contestants. Upon the last ballot, Mr. Aiken received all-the Amer ican votes except six, who voted for Mr. Fuller, and all the Democratic votes except two. Hs was beaten by three votes. . . . ' ! . The illiberal it y manifested by the Democratic party towards the American, during the whole contest for Speaker, the slur cast upon them !by the resolution of the. Democratic caucus, and tu' rejection of every overture made by the Americaus for conciliation and liasjnouy, and tlie agency or Democrats iu passing the plurality rule, were the causes that induced the six Americans not to cast their votes for Mr, Aikeu. They never doubted tliat Mr. Banks would be elected Speaker. In the- event of the adoption of tho plurality rule, aud upon that conviction . steadily opposed it. Uut for the adoption of that rule, he never would have been elected.
