To James K. Polk, President of the Unite and States,
and nearly half of Mexico certain , with a pretty toler
able fair chance yet for the whole
CITY OF aMEXICO, Doubtful Territory, )
February, 14, 1848. }
Dear Colonel: If any body asks you that impudent
question again, 44 W’hat are we fightm for?” jest tell him
he'sa goose,and don’t know wh .t he’s talking about,
lor we amt fightin at all ; we’ve got peace now ; got an
armistice, they call it; so there's no sense nt all in their
putting that question to you any more. YVe.ve got the
opposition fairly on the hip upon that question if no
other, fairly gaged em ; they can’t say to you any long
er now, 44 What nre we fightin for V’ This is some
consolation for the shabby tiick Ti ist has served us.—
That fellow lias made a bargain with the Mexicans to
stop the war, in spite of the orders you sent to him to
, come right home and let things alone l felt uneasy
; about it when 1 see him hanging about here so 4 o:ig af
ter fie got his orders to come home, and 1 said to him
I once or twice, 44 44 Mr. Trist what's the reason you
! don’t go ofriiome and mind the President ? This un
| lawful boldness of yourn is shameful ”
j “ Why. Major, ” says he,“ he that does his master’s
will dot’s right, whether he goes according to orders or
not. The President sent me out here to muke peace,
and it’s a wonder to me if I don’t fix it yet, somehow
or other, before I’ve done with it.” And then he put
his finger to the side of his nose and gave ine a sassy
look, as well as to say, Major Dowing you better not
try to be looking into diplomatic things that’s too deep
ior you.
Says I, Mr. Trist, I’m astonished at you ; I thought
you was a man of more judgement, and looked deeper
into things. Don’t yon see what advantage it gives
the President to let things now* stand jest os they le l
He’s offered peace to the Mexicans, and they have re
fused it, Therefore the opposition at home can’t cry
out agnmst him any more if he goes abend with the war.
He’ssliet their mouths up oil that score, lb smade
the war popular, and can go into the Presidential cam
paign now with a good chance of being elected anoth
er term And now if you go dabblin m the business
any more, I’m sure you’ll do mischief. As things now
stand, peace is the last thing in the world that the Pres
ident wants. You’ve done your errand here and got
your answer, and it’s turned >ut jest right; we can go
on with our annexin all Mexico now, without such tin
everlasting growling among the opposition at home,
for we’ve offered the Mexicans peace, and they vvould’nt
take it So you've nothing to do now but to lie ofl home
tor the war is jest in the rightshape as it is.”
NY ell now, after ail this plain advice —for I felt it my
duty to be plain with him—he still kept hanging about
“ Gineral,” says l,are you going to order an uruiis
ice r
here, day after day and week, after week and the firs*
I knew we was took all aback by being told that Sir
i rist had made a treaty and Gineral Scott was to order
n armistice. 1 could'nt hardly believe my ea** at first.
I posted right oil to General Scott to know what it all
meant.
Yes Major Downing,” says he : 44 Mr. Trist and
the Mexican Commissioners have signed the prelim
inaries of a treaty, so ot course we shall have an armis
tice. ”
“ YY’ell now, Gineral,” says I, 44 I don’t think the
President will thank you for that.”
“ Can’t ..• ,) iu; t/’ says he 44 1 obey the orders
of the Government, thanks or no thanks. And wnen
Mr. 1 rist was sent out here to make a treaty. I was di
rected, whenever the plau of a treaty should be signed
oil both sides, to order an armistice, and wait for the
two Governments to ratify the treaty. Well, Mr.
Trist and the Mexican Commissioners have at last fix
ed up some kind of a bargain and signed it, and of
course according to my orders we have nothing to do
but to stand still and wait for the two Governments to
clinch the nail.”
“ But,” says 1, 44 Gineral, you know Mr. Trist has no
right to make a treaty any more than I have, tor the
President has ordered him to come home ; and if he lias
made a treaty, it’s no better thau a piece of blank paper,
and vou shouldn’t mind it.”
4 ‘ Don’t know any thing about them matters,” says he,
“I can’tgo behind the curtain to inquire what little
manoeuvres are going on between the President and
Ins Commissioner. Mr. Trist came out here with his
regular commission to make a treaty He has brought
me a treaty, signed by himself and the Mexican Com
missioners ; and my o.ders are to cease hostilities. Os
course we can do nothing else but halt and stack our
arms.”
“Weli'’says L Gioeml it aim right: it'sahuj business
it!. break up this grand annexin plan that was test go
ing on so nice that we might a got thro ‘gh with it in a
year or two more, and then it will bother the President
ntttsl to death about his election lor the second term
4 hat treaty must be stoppe t; it liuist'nt he sent home ;
and I'll go right and see Mr. Trist about it.
Bo otn went and I hunted up Mr Trist. and had a
talk with hint. Says I, “Trist, how s tins 1 They tell
me you've been makings treaty with these Mexicans ”
bhouid'nt wonder il 1 had,” says he : that's test
wlmt I come out here for.”
“YVeil,l moat say,sir,” says I, 44 1 think this is a
pretty piece ot business. How do you dare lo do such
a ■ ou kno ? ,he President ordered you home.”
Y es, says lie, 4, and 1 mean to go home as so>n as
I get through the job he sent me to do.”
YY ell lie w. says 1, 44 Trist, I claim to know what
the President is about, and what he wants, and I’m his
confidential friend and private embassador out here
and 1 shall take the liberty to interfere in ibis businew’
I liis hi^ handed doing of yourn must be nipt off in the
bud YY hat sort of a bargain have you been making f
Jest let me look at the treaty.”
“ *•; ® lll V ® !, y* half way to Vera Cruz by
tins time ; 1 sent it off yesterday.”
“ Blood and ihundersays I,“ then you have knock
ed tut*.whole kpsuiess in the head, enough You’ve
committed an outrageous crime, sir, and a gieut shame
and don t you know sir, that great crimes deserve great
punishments f I don’t know what Col Polk will do,
lui i Know what my friend old Hickory would do it he
was alive ;he would hang you right up to the first tree
become at”
Whit hang me for doing jest what I was sent here
to do! saysht* hor I’ve made jest such a bargain
as the 1 resident told me to make; only a little better
one.”
I hat’s nothing here nor there,” says I,“you know
circumstances alter cases. And you know well enough
or you ought to have sense enough to know, that as
things now stand, the President dont want a treaty.—
Now, says I,Mr. Trim, answer me one plain question :
Do you think you have any right at alt to make a
treaty Hlter the President has ordered you home !”
41 \v eii,’says, he” l think,circunutances alter case* too;
and when the President ordered me home , I suppose
he thought Icould’m get through the job he aent me do.
But I thought I could and. so I kept trying, and I've
got through with it at last,and done the husiries all up ac
cording to my first orders; and I don't ace why the
President ahould’nt be well satisfied.”
‘j Well,” says, 1 44 what’s the items of the bargain
vV hat have you agreed upon f
” W hy,’’ says he, “ we have the whole of Texasclear
to the Rio (f niude ; we have allot New Mexico and
all ol l pper California And we pay the Mexicans
fifteen imllioiiHof dollars, and |iay our own citizens tive
millions that the Mexicans owed them. And we stop
firing, draw our charges from the guns that are loaded,
and go home.”
*’ Well f now,” otyu I,'* Trist, don’t you think von arc
a pretty teller to make such a bargain as that at this
time of day f The President will be mortified to death
•bout it Here we’ve been fightin near about 2 year-4 to
make the M \loans pay over that five millions ot dol
laisthev owed our people, and now you've agreed that
we shall put out hands in our own pocket* und pay it
ourselves. The whole plan of this war has been car'led
on by the President upon the highest principles to go
Straight ahead and ‘conquers peace .’man fashion ; and
now you’ve agreed to hack out of the m*ra|M- and bug a
peace and pay tlie money lor it. You know very well
that the President has declared, tune, and again, that
the vur should go on till we got md- mnity lor the past
and security for the future—iTtem’a his own words—and
now y.ui'vc agreed to settle up without getting one jot
ol ruber. For the past we are at least a hundred mil

cept the treaty, it put* an end to their grumbling about
the war. s
7 o pacify our friends that are very eager for the
whole of Mexico, you must tell em to look out and see
now much we have already got ; keep telling of ’em
nat tiuif a loot is better than no bread ; tell ’em to keep
quiet until after your next election is over, and may fe
y<>u I contrive some plan to be cutting into’toth. r half.
Keep Mr. Ritchie blowing the organ, nil w athers.to
the tune of half of Mexico for a song. Tell the whole
country, und brazen it out to every body, that you’ve
made a great bargain, a capital bargain, a capital bar
gain, much better than Jefferson made when he bought
Louisiana for fifteen millions of dollars ; tell ’em for die
same sum of money you have got a great deni more land
and more men on it. I’m satisfied this is the best ground
to take we must go for the treaty and bitter pill as it is,
must swallow it as though we loved it. I spose it will
have to go before the Senate, ns the const nation now
stands, (constitution is very detective on that pint,and
ought to be amended, for its dangerous trusting impor
tant matters to the Senate ;) but you must drive your
friends all up to vote for it : don’t let it fail on no ac
count ; Juii t let ’em to go tofingerm it over and putting
m amendments that will make the Mexicans so mad
that they will kick it all over again. For that would
put things into such a hurly-burly I’m afraid you would
ose your election.
Ratify the treaty, and then gather up nl! the glory
Hints been made out of this war, twist it into a sort of
glory wreath round your head, and march with a bold
step and a stiff upper lip right tnto the Presidential
campaign, and I shoulu’nt wonder if you beat the
whole bunch of vour enemies and all your friends. And
if you into your sec, nd term on the strength of
had of Mexico, it would be a pretty good sign that yon
you might go into a third term on the shrength of the
whole of it.
I remain your faithfu! friend,

tliaiiK tnhiics of tli Poet Gray.
“And ye that from the stately brow
Os Windsor's heights th’ expanse below
Os grove, of lawn, of mead survey,
VVhos** turf, whose shade, whose dowers among
Wonder* the hoary Thames along
liis silver winding way :
“Ah, happy hills! ah, pleasing shade ’
Ah, fields beloved in vain ‘
Where once my careless childhood starv’d,
A stranger yet to pain !’’
Every thing in the neighborhood of Windsor is redo- |
lent ot Gray. Here his iova began, and his sorrows
ended, but his poetry still breathes its inspirations in
all we see around.
Perhaiis there have been very few scenes more flat
tering to the genius of a fioet than the one exhibited at
the sale of Gray’s manuscripts, at Evans's auction room
in Bond Street in ihe winter of 1845 Eve ry scrap of l
his writing was eagerly bought up. llis Elegy, on one
sheet of paper, was purchased for one hundred pounds ; i
and his Odes for one hundred guineas. A letter sold lor
eleven guineas ; and almost every thing else in propor
t:on. But what struck me more than anything else at |
the sale of these numerous and interesting manuscripts,
was the fact, that, from nearly his earliest boyhood to
ihe latest period of hts life, everything hud been writ-j
ten with an extreme neatness ever eharacieristieof the
poet. Indeed there was a degree of elegance in ali lie
wrote, which, perhaps, has never been surpaved.— i
One of his favorite studies was Natural History, and
this is shown by the marginal notes which he wrote in!
hiscopy of Limueus, and in Hu Ison s Flora Anglica.— j
He almost entirely filled the tenth edition oi the Systema 1
Nature; of Lumajus with notes and observations. He’
appears to have read Aristotle’s treatise on Zoology,!
and explained some difficult passages iu it, in conse
quence ot his own observations.
It was evident, also, that he understood all the rich ‘
varieties of Gothic architecture, which he probably stu
died in his vouth when he was abroad, lie also aequi- *
red a considerable knowledge of heraldry, and left be
hind him many genealogical papers which proved him
to have become master of the subject.
His notes in t . cit -afue of the pictures at Wilton, ‘
show that h * h ’ n fine taste mt painting, and his
sket< lies not omy iu me Systema Nature?, of the heads
of birds, and insects, both in th-ir natural size and
magnified, with some other drawings, prove that he
was no mean proficient in the art of drawing. Nor
was he ignorant of music, if we may judge by what
had belonged to him, and winch was sold with hu; ;
books and manuscri] ts
Gardening would appear to have been a favorite
amusement ot Gray's, hut especially floriculture; a id
in Ins pocket journals, some of which were sold, he no
ticed the opening of leaves and flowers, as well ns of
the birds, insects, (fee , seen by him at different peri
ods, and much of his time must have been passed iu ‘
these studies
Bm (m much smaller matters he bestowed attention
A friend of mine purchased ut the sale of his library*, a 1
hook ot cookery, n which he hud entered observations
on the dishes ot Mona. St Clouet and Mr. W. Veriai,
and which the poet has altered and amended. The
fly-leaves are filled with receipts for savory slews and
1 hashes, and he remarks that he had tried one and found
it bad
I , Such is a short sketch ol some of the acquirements ol
1 Gray. But it is in his poetry that we trace his talents !
: and genius: and how much ol it is connected with this
! neighborhood in which he lived, and how much has he
added to its interests ! Hi church-yard, as Dr. John- 1
son observed, “ abounds with images which find a mir- 1
ror in every mind, and with sentiments to which every
bosom returns an ecno.” It may also tie said o! Gray, !
that he was oneot those few p rsons in the annals ol
literature, who did not write tor the hake ot profit ; he ■
evidently shunned the idea of being thought an author
iby profession. Whether tins was owing to a certain
degree ot pride, to his high sense of honor, or to his good
breeding, may remain a doubt, but he certainly did not
seek h*r advantages from lus literary pu suits.
While he was staying with his relations at Stoke, j
Guy wiotc u,J sect i.. a.s lriend West, UuU beauniul
Ode on Spring, which begins—
“ Lo ! where the rosy bosom’d hours,
Fair Venus’ tram, appear,
Disclose the long exacting flowers,
And wake the purple year!” ffcc.
This ode he sent, as soon as he had written it, to Mr 1
West, but he was dead before the letter which enclosed
it had arrived. It was returned to him unopened.—
The ode presents a kind ol presentiment ol t ie death of ;
one so much be loved, urid the lines, so welt known to !
| the admirers of Gray, are extremely pathetic and beau
| tiful.
Mr. West died ill the twenty-sixth year of his age,
I and this circumstance adds a.doubie interest to this beau
| tilui ode.
| The Ode to Adversity, ami that on a distant prospect
of hton, were both ol them written within three months
alter the death of Mr. West. liisMorrow, also, for this
event, wasahowu in a very affectionate sonnet, which
I concludes thus—
” 1 fruitless mourn for him that cannot hear.
And weep the more, because 1 weep in vain.”
But it was as a lover oi nature—of these little incidents
in rural life—of facts and circumstance!* ill w hat he su w
around hail, whether the varied scenery of Stoke, the
“beetle with hit drowsy hum,” and **!:. ling t! ,ii.’ ot
the complaint of the “moping owl,” that G-a . V genius
phases most, and has done .o inucti lo imuioi.jlixe Ins
memory. Thai he studied natui*., and wooed her:
charms in the delightful neighborhood of Stoke, as well
as ill the wilder sceneiy of Italy, cat not Ik.* doubted.—
in fact, his mind appeared to be peculiarly adapted to
enjoy rural scenes and rural objects, tinctured as it w as
with a dislike to the more hu-tling scenes of life, and
| this induced a voluntary seclusion from the world
[ Under such circumstances, nature opened to hnn re
sources ot which ha eagerly availed hiuiaeif, and which
probably tended more man any thing else to dispel that
dejection of spirit*and mental uneasum** of which he
complains in several of ins letters, li it,, indeed, sad lo
think that a man ol such talent* us Gray, with so ma
ny acquirements, with such virtu* sand such humanity,
blameless in Ins tile, und disinterested in all his pursuits,
.ould liave suffered in tile way he describes himself to
have done, lb* appears, however, to have met dentil
with great tratiqu liity
lu one of lus note-books, there is n slight sketch in
verse of Ids own character. It was written in 17G1
“Too poor for a bribe, and to nroud to importune,
He had riot the method ot making u fortune ;
Could love, and could hate, so wan thought somewhat
odd;
No very great wit. lie believed hi a God.
A po*l or u pension he did not desire ;
So left church und state loChutles Townshend ami
aquirc.”
: The cause of Gray’s quarrel with Horace Walpole
j has u vrr been satuductonly explained. Various cuoa
>es buys been assigned lor it, but i recently heard one
l mentioned, which ** sutin n lit to account for thrsiletio
l of Grav’s biographer hiring the lifetime of Walpole,’

for a passage in the manuscript Ilf lie* Rev W. Cole,

r. I. Gentlemen :— sSorne time since I informed you of the
; success attending the efforts of some of our farmers in
South-Western Georg n.nt making Sugar for family
use As this subject is claiming much of (he attention
of our farmers. I beg leave to present the following hints
t for the use of those who may not understand the art, or
. “’ho may not have access to stnndard works and treatises
I on this subject:
Tru e,complete /meres* requires much skill nndexpe
rience in the manufacturer; and notwithstanding their
’ experience, and the inprovenients in the machinery for
, ha manufacture,our Louisiana planters have not attain-
I j ed, in all respects that perfection in the art which is
I common to the West india planter, owing, probably, to
the fact that the Cane in that country is more fully rmi
tnred Inn ours, by the difference of the seasons. Al
though the quality and quantity of the Sugar depends
j muc i upon the quality of the Cane, and the value of
! die Cn ie depends upon the qu hty and properties of
| the soil wham produces it, still I shall say nothing about
its culture, (as our Georgia planters think they know
I enough about planting without the use of agricultural
| ami chemical works,) and confine myself simply to the
manufacture of Sugar, with some notice of the principle
defects in the ordinary mode of manufacturing. My
remarks are intended simply ns a guide to those who
wish, with a little “domestic economy,” to render thein
selves independent of foreign supply.
“ according to modern chemists, is a true es
sential Halt, capable of chrystalixation,” and its man
ufacture is .purely u cheimcni process, it is held in solu
tion m the ‘‘mother water” or juice of the cane, und by
the process of boiling is preci itated by chrystalnation
or granulation, and this is the whole “secret” of making
iSugar.
All chemical resolutions have been the result of ex
periment*. Indeed experimental induction forms the
basis of “chemical science, and in this process, success
depends much upon the experience ami practical good
i tense of ihe manufacturer.
The brat step is grinding or expressing the juice from
the Cane, the next clarifying and boiling, and the last
cooling, chrystalization or granulation and dripping.—
Cii these points I desire to express myself intelligibly
and without any regard to technicalities.
Ist. The Cane intended for Sugar sliould Ik* ground
| immediately after being gathered, or placed where it
w ill not be exposed to tin- sun, or allowed to wilt—for
u‘- soon as the watery mu*stance of the cane begins to
evaporate, tbe sad irriue matter begins to chyrstalize,
and adhearuig to the tihiesoi the stalk, cannot be easi
ly expressed; and the Cane, after passing through the 1
mill, retains much of its sweetness. Again, it is impor
tant that the Cane used for Sugar should be ful'.y ma
tured, and care should he be taken to cutoff all tf )e top
part of the stock tiiut is not ripe, for although apparent
-1 ly lull of juice, it contains very little sacharrine matter,
and which, being mixed with the juice of the rij>e Cane, !
eat sea it more easily to ferment and become acid, which j
•vill require more liuie to neutralize it and more boiling
to evaporate its wate.y substance, if it do not materially ‘
prevent granulation and injure, the quality and reduce !
the tjuaniiiy of Sugar. Tut part thus cut off, that is ,
not fully matured, would make good Molasses,and pro- j
oably an indifferent Quantity of Sugar Again, the ;
juice of the ( aue should not be expressed till every prep- |
oration is made for immediate boiling,for the moment tnc ;
juice is expressed fermentation begins,which will require j
a gieater quantity of lime to correct the acid, and the
use of lime discolors the juice and injures the complex
ion of the Care s.*uuid also be taken to have
the Cane asclean ns puraible when carried to the mill,
that no foreign matter may be mixed with the juice. I
say nothing of the machinery tor grinding, as they are ,
numerous through the country liuf well known
2d. The next step after expressing the mice, is to boil 1
and clarily it and just here rests all the difticul- |
ty of manufacturing Sugar. On large sugar es- !
tales, the process of boiling and clarifying is com- j
i plicated. There they have compound furnaces with
clarifying pores, and some three or f our boilers,
through all which me juice passes and is boiled j
i I**fore it readies the s which many cheni- i
ical means are used to render the juice colorless, iam j
; however, only writing for those who wish to uianufac- .
tare for “family use” and uot for export, and shall not
i consider th?se points, hut 1 ain persuaded that much un
j necessary expense is incurred in trying to clarify the
juice, since in the act of christalizatioti the sugar dis
engages itself from ail foreign mutter and forms a purs
chrystal very much in the way that ice is formed pure
t from muddy water. During the progress of boiling
und as soon us it begins, keep all the scum that ris s on
i the syrup well cleared off. In boiling the heat should
ibe uniform and moderate; if boiled too hastily it burns
and is daik and also becomes candied, an that the mo-
I iusses sticks to the grains, w ill not drip tieely, and
makes the sugar moist and of a high colour. To those
who have not the instruiienis to dele inline the temper
ature ot the boiling liquid, it requires experience. Vhe !
temperature can be judged well by observing the ebulh- j
linns ol the liquid, which as before observed, sliould be
. moderate and uniform. The boiling process is simply
: to separate the watery substance of ih*- juice and to
; make it sufficiently inspirited tor granulation, and in
llie *'hoi haste” with which the process is generally
carried on, it is e tber burnt or boiled to a candy, nnd 1
, the result is unsucct asful. Dunng tle process of boiling,
, the liquor should he frequently stirred or agitated with a
wooden ladle, so as to disengage ail the feculent matter
;in it, that it may rise to the top and be removed by
skimming. Alter it is sufficiently evaporated by a uni
j form and moderate heat to proper consistency, it is
ihen removed to the coolers, and the next process

When the Syrup begins to cool and chrystahxation
commences much injury is done by agitating or stirring
the Sj-upw'ith a view’ to hasten the cooling of it
I When n i) gins to form chrysmls, it should be slowly
, ag .re I dimply to prevent ns concretion into lumps, or
j to t:i Ooitom and sides ol lire c.-oleis, and to foiui a
J tine grain. If during chrystalization it be too much ag
| itated, it makes an irregular granulation, causes tne ‘
Syrup to mix w ith and dissolve the Sugar in part, and |
the result will be an agglomeration of Sugar and Mo- }
1 lasses, which will he hard to drip, and the Sugar will ,
always be damp and savour strongly of Molasses As
with boiling, so with drain ng or dripping the Sugar ; it
is carried on on large estates with considerable expense,
upon scientific principles too elaborate to discuss here J
Suffice it to say, that if the Syrup be carefully boiled so
as not to be cnudied : and in cooling it is not too much
siiired, that the process ol dripping, tor ull ordinary pur- j
puses, can be easily effected by putting the Sugar into a !
barrel with holes perforated m the bottom, through i
which tin* Moiasses will freelv drip by us own giavita- j
tion. and in a very snort time he lit for family use.
