able." Scarcely were the words out of his mouth,

We eopy from the New York Herald the fol
lowing Message from President Polk, comnmni-
eating tho Treaty of Peace, friendship, limits, and
•ettiement between the United States and the
Mexican Republic, concluded at Guadaloupe Hi
dalgo on the 2d of February, in the year 1848:
To the 8*nate of the United States:
I lay before the Senate, for their consideration
and advice, m to its ratification, e treaty of peace,
friendship, limits, and Mttlement, signed at the
city of Guadalupe Hidalgo on tho second day of
February, 1848, by N. P. Trist on the part or the
United States, and by plenipotentiaries appointed
for that purpose on the pert of the Mexican gov
ernment
1 I deem it to be my duty to slate, that the recall
of Mr.- Trist ts commissioner of the United
States, of which Congress was informed in my
annuel message, was dictated by e belief that his
continued presence with the army could be pro
ductive of no good, but might do much barm, by
encouraging the false hopes and delusive im
pressions of the Mexicans, and that his recall
would satisfy Mexico that the Uuited Statos
bed no terms of peace more favorable to oiler.
Directions were jpven, that any propositions for
peaee which Mexico might make, sholild be re
ceived and transmitted by the commanding gen
eral of opr force* to the United States.
It wm not expected that Mr. Trist would remain
in Mexico, or continue in the exercise of the
functions of the office ofeoramiasionsr,after lie re
ceived hia Utter of recall. He hM, however, done
so; end the plenipotentiaries of tha government
of Mexico, with x knowledge of the fact, have
concluded with him this treaty. I have examined
it with • full sense of the extrsnenue eircum tan-
ees attending its conclusion and signature, which
might be objected to; but, conforming, as it does
substantially on the main questions of boundary
•qd indemnity,to the terms whiehourcommission-
•r, when he left the United States, in April last,
wm authorized to offer; and animated, as I am,by
the spirit which hM governed all my official con
duct toward Mezieo, I have felt it my duty to
submit it to the Senate for their consideration, with
x view to its ratification.
To the tenth article of the treaty there ere se
rious objections; and no instructions given to Mr.
Trist, contemplated or authorised its insertion.
The public lunds within the limits of Texas belong
to that state, end this government has no power
to dispose of them, or to change the conditions
of grants already made. All valid titles to land
within the other territories ceded to the United
flutes, will remain unaffected by the change of
sovereignty; and I therefore submit that this arli-
cle should not he ratified os • purt ofthe treaty.
There may be reason to apprehend that the
ratification of the " additional and secret article"
might unreasonably delay and embarrass the final
action on the treaty by Mexico ; 1 therefore sub
mit whether that article should not be rejected by
the flenete.
Iftbe treaty shod be ratified, as proposed to be
•mended, the cessions of territory made by it to
the United States, as indemnity, the provision for
the eatisfaction of the claims of our injured citi
zens, and the permanent establishment of the
boundary ofono ofthe States of tho Union, are
objects gained of great national impurtance:
while the magnanimous forbearance exhibited
towards Mexico, it is hoped may ensure a last
ing pear.Sp.and good neighborhood between the
two countries.
I communicate hero with a copy of the instruc
tions given to 51r. Slidell, in November, 1845,
os Envoy Extraordinary and Miuister Pienipo-
* tentiarr to Mexico; a cony of the instructions giv
en to Mr. Trist in April last, and such ol'the cor
respondence ofthe letter with the Deportment of
State, not heretofore communicated to Congress,
as will enable the Senate to understand the ac
tion which lies been had with a view to the ad-
iustmeni of our difficulties with Mexico.

But why dwell on sueh • theme/ Dr. Baird's
fertile memory will conjure np this evening beau
ties which may have escaped our most ardent and
xealous researches after the abundant treasures
ofthe British and Erin’s isles.
We expect that Dr. B. who elucidatei hie sub-
jecte with the fidelity ofe correct Hietorlan, will
make this evening’s theme so interesting, that
Macon (where we eee by the Telegraph of that
city, ho is to be on Friday (to-morrow) evening)
will have to spare him for one or two nightslong-
er, for our citizens are becoming more and more
interested in the graphic details of the people of
Europe—their manners and cuatoms.their r ligion,
and in many instances their ardent panting* for
the blessings of civil and religious Liberty. But
we apprebond that after to-night he is gone, but
unlike the bubble ofthe fountain,though gone, he
will not be forever departed, for his instructive
voice will dweltin our memories, whenever the
struggles of the men of Europe come to our
vision with the lightning speed of the magnetic
telegraph.
"All the Decency Party
The tumultuous, disorganizing epirit which
cbarseteriiM the Whig party is beginning to ex-
hibit itself very generally in their public assem
blages. We noticed in our columns the Taylor
meeting in New York which broke up in x row,
after insulting every speaker who attempted to
address it. A similar meeting was held in Balti
more on the 20th last., with like results. Every
speaker who rose to address it was interrupted
by deafening cheers for Mr* Clay, or with perso
nal taunts and insults. A correspondent of the
Washington Union thus notices tho tmttuiet*
which was bestowed upon tho Hon. Reverdy
Johnson, one ofthe orators of tho occasion.
“The Hon. Reverdy Johnson, senator of Ma
ryland, next took the stand, and I venture to say,
that never waa a senator of the United States
treated so shabbily before. He remained on the
stand for ten minutes, amid tho most tlcafoning
cheers for Henry Clay, taunts relative to tho
batik of Maryland, shout* for the Whig party,and
all manner of unearthly noisos. He sccmnd to
be speaking all tho time, and his ayoi almost
flashed fire as he bent over Iho rostrum, appear
ing as if he intended In jump down among thorn.
The most insulting personal taunts anij aocusa-
lions were heaped upon him from nil parts ofthe
rotunda, and he finally retired from the stand, ut
tering as be left, “I cam o to add row BaHimoriaus,
hut l find that blackguards have tho away."
“*A vote was then taken on a aeries or resolu
tions, but the noes had it by at least four to one,
when the meeting adjourned; or rather, tho no
party Taylor men left the stand. It waa next
taken possession of by tho Whig Taylor man,and
an attempt wm made to read a set of resolutions;
but the Clay Whigs, whp seemed to outnumber
all tho other paruss combined, would not allow
them to proceed. A friend of Henry Clay final
ly gained the stand, and after giving three cheers
for “Harry ofthe West," was about to address
the meeting,when some one succeeded in putting
out the lights, and tho meeting adjourned quite
orderly—which was die ouly orderly thing done
during tha eveniug."
Col. Baker, of Illinois, pronounced tho New
York meeting to be a disgrace to the party that
called itself Whigs and Mr. Johnson doclaretl
that in the Baltimore meeting “black-guards
had the sway." To what a degradation has tho
doconcy party iunk,wh*n it is thus characterized
by its prominent leaders.
In the conduct of the Whigs who have broken
up these Taylor meetings, we see reflected some
of the conspicuous trait* in the character of Mr.
Clay. The same intolerant, domineering, auda
cious, tyrannical spirit which has distinguished
his whole political career, and which grew more
insufferable towards its close; the same spirit
which grasped the reality of the presidency while
General Harrison wm permitted to wear the in
signia—which attempted to crush Mr. Tyler be
cause ho was unwilling to become ita abject slave,
•ud which bulliod Mr. Choato into the ailenca of
death because ho dared to express an opinion of
his own—the same spirit has diffused itself among
his followers, and is now bullying the Whig party
into his support. Prominent Whigs are insulted,
the hero of many hard-fought battles has been made
the ^subject of noisy attack, public meetings are
b. oken up in mobs and tumults,beenuse they might
throw an impediment before the triumphal march
ofllenry Clay. Wa have evory reasontobe thank.
Ail that the action of tha people of this great nation
is not influenced by the voice of mobs, who forget
their love ofcountry in their admiration of
Otherwise we might woll tremble for the safety
of our ftree institutions before the tumultuous
earner of such a man u Usury Clay. His char
acter, course, and objects are all such as to at.
tract to himsslf the elements of discontent, vio
lence and disorder. Our country never bos pro
duced amen so well calculated to sway the mob.
A political adventurer himself,ever trimming his
sails to catch the popular breeze, he draw* after
him in hia wake, all tha adventurers of a like
stamp in the land; and the spirit ofthe man hu
become the spirit of the party that supports him.
If lie is elected President of this nation it will be
by the union of two Herco extremes ; both of
which he hM spent his life la bullying and court
ing by turne. The selfish, grasping, aristocra
tic, monetary influence of tho laud, will join hands
with the turbulent, discontented, impuaioned
mob of political adventurers, for the common
object of advancing a common leader. As both
classes of his supporters aim et a corruption of
our government, they wilt fraternize for the pur
pose of effecting it in the election ofa bold,
unscrupulous man. But the hopes of the Dem
ocratic party grow brighter and stronger from
day to day. The people—the peoplo who con
trol this nation are not all the myrmidons of
monopolies, or the adventurers who look to pol
itics ms trade, or the impassioned adorers of
man. They will display their power when its
exercise is needed, though like a strong current
it flows calmly and silently.

Mr. Raley,(Yom the Committee appointed at a

elaborate report, reviewing all the advantages of
tha proposed connexion by Rail Road with Nash

Report and Resolution:
ing,
Capt* W. H. T. Walker.
We yesterday noticed the return of Cept
Walker, ofthe 6th Infimtry, with Dr. DeLeon
and the train which left Mexico on the 6th inst.
A Correspondent writing ftom Mexico, with*
out the knowledge of Capt. Walker, sends tie
the subjoined tribute to tho gallantry and worth
of this disabled Georgian. ,We have been under
the impression that Walker’s claims to be remem
bored by the legislature of his nq|}ve State bad
not been slighted, but we were not able yesterday
to bring to our memory whether a sword or the
thanks ofthe Legislature had been voted to him.
We think however, only the letter, though he
certainly earned the former.
At any rate he hM whet may be regarded by e
gallant soldier the highest reward,—tha unpreme
ditated and honorable tribute ofa gallant fellow-
soldier, the writer of the following, whose name
has been honorably mentioned and with groat dis
tinction in several despatches.
Such testimony is undoubted andnouecanbe
more appreciated.
“Mr. Editor: I observe in the papers that the
Legislature of Georgia will be asked this session
to present swords to several officers from that
State, as rewards for their gallantry and good
conduct in the battle* of Mexico. But to my sur
prise and regret, no mcntion-ii made of one of
the truest and bravest of her sons, Capt, W. H.
T. Walker, ofthe 6th Regiment of Infantry.
“There is probably no officer in the army who
has a higher claim to the admiration and grati
tude of his country than Capt. W., and if any
•ix of us should bo required to designate the muii
among us, who combines in a roinnrkublo man
ner, those noble qualities of the soldier—chivairic
courage, the sternest sense of honor, and a de
cision of character which no circumstances could
impair—I run sure be would bo selected.
“At this moment he lies disabled by a wound at
5fo!ino del Rcy, and it is a common remark
amongst bin acquaintances that nothing but the
unconquerable spirit of the man could have sus
tained him so long. a,

51. Cremieux,who has been one ofthe loading
members of tho French Chamber of Deputies,

Justice, is a lawyer of eminence.
He is an Israelite, not ouly in point of national
ity, but an observer of his faith, and has taken
much interest in procuring his race increMcd
privileges, lending valuable aid in deviating their
social end political position.
He Hm been, wo believe, the editor of lee Ar•

ence ofthe Israelites in Paris.
From theNew York Evening Pont, 24th inst.

Tho foregoing extract is from tho London
Standard, and we copy it for the purpose of cor
recting thut journal m its information relative
Mr. Cremieux, now minister of Justice, who
aunoiiucctl as the “only Jew in the chamber.
This is not the case; for we cun recollect, in addi
tion, Messrs. A. & B. Fould, and General F.
Corf lleer, and have reason to believe there are
three or four more of tho same religious fuitk.
Mr. Cremieux did not take an active port in the
revolt against the king and government, and to
tho la4, held out in good faith in fuvor of the
Count de Paris au<l the regency of his mother,
Michael Gudefuhuud, also a distinguished Israel
ite, and now minister of Finance, is forgotten by
the Standard. Mr. Godcfchoud.at tho revolution
of July, 181)0, was a banker qt Paris, and at tho
first blow for freedom, joined tho poonlo, and
fought and bled to put down the power of Charles
X. After tho citizen king was placod on the
throuc, he commissioned Mr. Uodcfchoud, ai
“receiver general" at Strasbourg, blit when La
fayette anil Lafitte were discaruod by the “best
of republics," Mr. Uodelchoud rejected the office
with scoru, end has ever since acted with the re
publicans, end wrought zealously for the destrue.
tion of(probably) the last king ofthe Freuch.

a bottle of Dr. Jayne's Expuctorant, which caus

have no hesitation in saying, that tiui preparation
ofDr.Juvne, for the cure of Coughs, Colds, In

by a cold that might easily be cured. That
Wistar’s Uulsttin of Wild Cherry will cure any
cough or cold, no matter of how long itauding.
That the milder form of Consumption itself is al
so cured by this Da!sain. That It is conceded by
many lawyers, clergymen and phyeiciane, that this
Balsam has never been equalled for efficacy iu all
affections of tho Lungs and Liver. That scores
now rejoice iu the possession of good health who,
but for this Bulsuin, would have been in their

that this invaluable, medicine has been imitated
under various nntnee, and that Dr. Wistar’s Gtn-

tlie Br. ship Opjfca, ftrorn Liverpool, arrived at
Halifax, on Saturday lest, with 73 of these unfor
tunate people, having landed 33 at Canso,and the
remainder, about 60, having died on board. Ma
ny ofthe survivors are suffering from sickness.
During the last seventeen days they were on
board the Aurora, the allowance of food wm lim
ited to two and a half ounces of bread,and a wine
glass of water a day, to each individual.
The British brig Barbara, Capt. Skinner, ftrotn
N. Y. for Cork, with a cargo of corn, took on
board about one hundred and fifty more on the
11th Ffcbruary.and afterwards bore away for New
Foundland. On the 2d of 5Iarch tlie steamer
Hibernia, Capt. Shannon, from N. Y. via Hali

The steamer bore down to the Barbara, whsn
the captain of the latter vessel acquainted the
steamer, that they were out of water, and further
that there were one hundred and fifty persons on
board dying for want of water. To which the
captain's reply from the eteamer woe, “there is
the land; go there and get it.’.’ Tho steamer then
passed on; without showing any inclination, or
making auy effort to render them assistance
though the wind was blowing off the land rl
strongly at the time,that it was impossible to make
it. In attempting to reach St. Johns, N. F., they
mistook the land, and drifted into a covo at the
entrauce of Petty Harbor, N.F.,and went ashore;
and on account of the heavy serf struck a cliff,
and stove a hole in the vessel’* bow.
Thirty-five individuals managed to reach the

On the 18th inst the sea making a fair breach over

Diseuses of the Heart*
It is a remarkable but woll authenticated fact,
before tho French Revolution, in 1789, Diseases
of tho Heart were of uncommon occurrence, and
that sinco that period those distressing afflictions
have been gradually becoming more frequent.
The reasons for this circumstance is a matter of
iuterestiu^ speculation Medicine is found to be
of very slight avail iu any Disease of the Heart,
and it may be briefly stated that Uulcanitm, is tlie
ouly certain tnuans we have for treating affections
of this delicate orgau. The case which follows
is ouly a sample of many others which might bo
adduced, but it is still ouo of the most remark
able which has fallen under tho notice of Dr.
CHRISTIE;
New Yonic,'Oct.29,1845.
My futhor, Asaph Mugoun, now 55 years of
age, resident of Pembroke, Plymouth County,
5Inss., ha*.boon afflicted for the last three years
with the disease called Miter on the Heart. The
complaint has been gradually increasing, and du
ring at least one-half of the time he has becu
unable to lonve his bed, and his weakness has
buen such that he has boon unable to assist him
self in any manner. The advice of all the emi
nent physicians iu (he neighborhood, Boston, and
in other cities wm sought, their prescriptions
faithfully followed, and after what they consider
ed ufuir trial, they gave him up, stating that medi
cine could lie of no avail in his case, and that
medicine* could be of no avail in his case, and
that- nothing could save his life. About three
weeks ago I arrived in New York, from n three
years voyage to tho East Indies, and ftom the
painful nows I heard, my first duty was to hasten
to what I believed was tho death-bed of my pa-

chase the Galvanic Belt and one bottle or the

In less titan eight hours after using them, a mani

past thret weeks, he has almost entirely recover

arrested, and he is better in every respect tuan he

heavy, and although the stock is beliercdtobe

of River navigation, that prices have not btn

however, are pretty firm, in tlie expectation that
the moderate supply to come forward immedi
ately will not fhrtber materially afToct the market.
