branch of the goye-rment-the House of Represen
tatlves are wasting the public time and public mo-
ney, dsgracing themselves and covering the nation
with contempt and scom from all honorable minds,
we have every reason to believe, from the infoma-
ton recently obtained from the Capitol that the
Executive much abused by both pares-so
much cheated by both partes-so much calumnia-
ted by the paltry politicians of both factlons-is
steadily making great and rapid progress in his
negotiations, and in all those great measures which
Will effect for the peace, prosperity, and per-
nanent stability of the nation, than has been done
by any of his predecessors from the time of Wash
Ington.
We learn-from the most UNREASONABLE sources
several important facts in relation 10 our foreign
negotiations, which will be highly interesting TO
the commercial community and the nation at large
at least to all who have any interest in the peace
and welfare of the republic And first in relation
10 Great Britain. II has been already stated that
Mr.. Pakenham, formerly minister from the Court
of ST. James, al the seat of government in Mexico
had been appointed in the mission TO Washington
This is correct Mr.. Pakenham is expected in
Washington about the middle of January He
will take the place of Mr.. Fox who will probably
return TO England, and close his mission Mr. Pa
kenham, II is true, comes over here as the regular
minister, butin some respects his is only special
mission, and he may not remain longer than six
months The object of his coming is to negotiate
iully and finally on the important and troublesome
question of the Oregon Territory and we have
every reason to believe that his instructions from
the British government will be full on that point
and that under the auspices of President Tyler, that
knotty subject, which otherwise might have con-
tinued for many years to trouble the country-just

be finally and definitely settled on liberal and en-
hghtened terms, and in matter satisfactory to
both parties. These negotiations will at once and
forever open door for further peaceful negotia-
lions and arrangements of commercial nature
between this country and England. So much for
our relations with England.
We are also informed that the negotiation which
has been commenced, land of whose commence
nent we had the first ntimation in the report of
the Secretary of State, with the German Union
is making rapid progress, and will probably soon
terminate IN very successful arrangements.
II Is also probable, from all accounts, that the
mission OF Mr. Gushing to China, will be success
Jul to very remarkable extent Indeed, it is said
that the Chinese government have refused to nego-
late with any other foreign power but England;
but II is believed there will be exception made
with regard TO the United States. The Chinese
consider that the United States branch of the
same people which have signally thrashed them
IN the recent war, and believing that refusal TO
negotiate with the Yankees would subject them to
another drubblng from the red-haired barbarians,
they will admit US to negotiate on amcable terms
thus we are placed on more favorable footing
with regard to China, than any other foreign
power.
From these movements will be perceived the
success-the remarkable and unexampled success
which has attended Mr. Tyler in his negotiations
with foreign powers. Indeed we do not despair
that we shall have an arrangement and honorable
negotiations terminated with Mexico. before the
close OF this session of Congress and that by these
negotiations, conducted under the auspices and
wisdom of Captain John Tyler, in spite of all that
his detractors of both parties may say against him.
and in spite Of the miserable tricks played of upon
HIM by those who have held office under him. the
honor peace and security of the Republic will be
placed on sound and permanent basis Thus the
Oregon question-the annexation of Texas-and in
fact all the difficult questions Of the day which
promised to furnish materials for the politicians
with which to nflame, and distract, and divide the
people, will be disposed OF, and disposed of for
ever, by the President before he leaves the
White House. Congress will in this way be
OF the weapons and handles wherewithal it hoped
10 have irritated and disturbed the country. it
will be reduced to the necessity of attending to
ats special business-the modification of the la
riff, and the other important questions respecting
our domestic affairs.
In this view of the important negotiations now
IN the hands of the Executive, it is very probable
that the Senate may confirm the principal Cabinet

OF some of the minor ones that should not, under
any circumstances, escape rejection Not indeed
that any OF them deserve to be confirmed, but be-
cause the Senate may not wish to throw anv diff
Guilty in the way of the President with regard to
the construction of his Cabinet But it is very EVIL
dent to any one who has been an impartial and
calm spectator of the events which have occurred
during the las few years, and who now reflects
upon the facts we have detailed, that the evening
OF John Tyler's presidency will shine with lustre
Tar beyond the briliancy of its midday He has
indeed, been too honest and two simple-heaued for
the age, and for the troops of political azzarone
who crowded about him when they found that he
had offices TO bestow. The receptions practised
upon hun by those who called themselves his
irlends--ln which category we include Messrs
Henshaw, Porter, Spencer, and all their attachks;in
the various cities-have been gross, astounding and
dlsgraceul; not less so even than the furious and
violent abuse of both Wings and Locofocos-abuse
which has been poured out upon him without inter-
mission tor two years past But the genuine cha
racter of the President begins TO emerge from that
mass of corruption with which it has hitherto been
surrounded. We have little doubt that the remain
der of his term of office will present picture. in
which the patriotic and the good of this and future
generations will gaze with profit, pleasure, and gra
titude.
