THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.


Truth, crushed TO earth, will rise again." is
Que Of the beautiful expressions Of Bryant, the
poet--and il is as true as beautiful And now it is
becoming more obvious every day, that all the va
porting of the enemies of President Tyler in
Congress ana out Of IT, is destined to VANISH IN
"Ihin air. before the MONDAY sun, while
the beneficial acts Of the Executive will remain
as indeslruciible monuments of his wisdom and
patriotism.
On Wednesday, Mr.. McDufie, Republican
of the Macon stamp, declared in The Senate,
when abiding TO the late Treaty, that a. the
p ople Of the United States owed a lasting debt
of gratitude TO the Administration that settled
IT, and every statesman and true patriot on Ell.
ther side of the Atlantic rejoced at its tcrmina-
lion. He thanked God that the negotiations
had been commenced in spirit of peace, and
had ended in spirit of amilv.n
Such is the calm and deliberate declaration
on the Republican side.
The next day yesterday the Inlelligencer
contained long editorial article on the same
subject. After abiding to the violent, but vain
opposition Of two factions TO the Treaty, one in
this country and one in England, the Intelligen-
Ger concludes in this wise:
"Tbus il is that the uirs, on both sides prove, We
ry satisfactorily to themselves that their respective
countries are dsgraced, while men Of csndor and
intelligence Of both countries see in the Treaty no.
thing but an honorable and Just settlement Of long
pending difficulties
This is capital. 1t proves that truth must,
and will, prevail in The end. Let it not be III
fened that the Intelligencer ventures 10 de-
nounce Mr.. Conrad at this particular juncture,
because 1t is ascertained that he will not be a
member OF the next Congress-or that it has
the magnity TO kick him when he is going
down the hill; no! truth compels the Intelli-
gencer to do justice 10 the President.
| "Men OF cdndor and Intelligence Of both
countries see in the Treaty nothing but an hon
orable and just settlement" &c. This is Sc
| we're on Messrs. Conrad and Benton, but IL is
just and we endorse it most heartily. We will
stand at the Inlelllgencer's back in this fight
| These determined and brave expressions
OF the intelligence, if we mistake not, apply
, with equal confusion and disaster to the New
York Courier and Enquirer; The New York
American the Richmond Wing, &c, &c, &c,
&c, &C., &c. "hen Of candor and inteHi-
gence see IN the Treaty nothing bit an
HONORABLE AND JUST SETTLEMENT" &c.
We are glad The Intelligencer has az last
broken ground against the "uifros on both
sides" This is another proof that our course
has been the true one. II proves that the Ad.
ministration has firmly wihstood all the masked
and open assault. OF its enemies that secret
traitors have only blunted their daggcrs in the
vain attempt TO stab the President; that oooo
and avowed foes have retired from the comics,
and are suing for peace.
Wewll forgive them, as we hope God will
forgive us.
| The present Congress is about TO retire with
out accomp ishipg single beneficial act to he
pointed TO hereafter when they shall come again
before the People. That the counsels of Mr..
Clay have been followed to the letter, we pre.
sumo no one will any longer doubt. Hence we
think he should ar the larger portion of the
