TREATY WITH CHINA.

II is impossible yet to know the full benefits
likely to be derived from The Treaty just made
by Mr. Gushing with China; but, from all the
information obtained on the subject, we look
upon its ratification by the Senate as of great
Importance. We trust that the same spirit
which rejected the Tobacco Treaty will not
show itself in the United States Senate at the
present session. There is no telling, however,
what may be the course of men who have here
lofore shown themselves SO capable of prefer
ring party to country.
important and has bs sPs hs5s1SG!s has been
1912 we exported to China nearly one and a
half millions worth of our products in lS43,
in nine months we exported nearly two and a
half millions. Our imports from China have
been larger than our exports, and hence the diff
ference has been paid in specie carried from our
country The Treaty just made is understood
to be of most liberal characterized calcula-
ted greatly and rapidly TO increase this trade.
1t will open up to our people, on liberal terms, a
field for their enterprise amongst three hundred
millions of souls We again express the hope
that the factious spirit which 30 much injured
| the Tobacco planter, in the rejection of the
Zoll Verein Treaty, will not be brought to bear
TO reject the Treaty with China. The New
York Herald's money article, Of December 9th,
has the following:
"Our trade with the Chinese is yet in its infancy
The ratification Of the Treaty Just nego lated will
open to the industry and enterprise of people an
immense market for their productions. Ii will give
us the privilege Of competing with other nations, in
supplying three hundred millions ofpeopie with many
Of the necessares, and few of the Injuries Of life
II is supposed that very extensive trade IN tobacco
will rapidly grow up and that this weed will even
tually take the place Of opium among the Chinese
the destruction Of that trade and Ne moral improve
ment Of the people. Our lead mines will be more
actively worked, and our cotton manufacturers con.
stantly engaged IN supplying the demand for do
mesucs. In fact every important interest Of the
county must receive an impetus, by Tie opening Of
the China markets to our productions"

ANNEXATION.

In the preceding columns will be found several ar
tices on The subject Of the re-annc xaon OF Texas,
from prominent democratic journals, which we give
to our readers as among The current expressions OF
the day, without however, adopting all toe positions
Of either.
Of the several propositions now before Congress
and they not less than five in number-we prefer
Mr.. WELLER's. 1t presents the question in the SIN
plest and most direct form; and avoids any emtar-
RAISING connexon with other and necessarily
ary questions. Sufficient tor the day Is the evil
thereof" To anticipate settlement Of boundary
and the question of slavery within the recovered ter
ritory, can scarcely fail to retard, possibly ultimately
defeat, the chief measure, by prorac.ed discussions
and collisions OF opinion upon incidental topics. So
also with regard 10 the debt. The medium PROPOSE
ton, which avoids It's assumption declared by the
terms OF the treaty. but guarantees the faithful appro-
Prlation OF the avas OF the public lands 10 its pay
ment, will be most likely, we suspect TO meet with
general favor.
On Monday last, this important question came up,
BY special order, Tor consideration, and we look not
only for interesting discussions, but bic
ununimity al least among the friends of the

Mr.. BENTON'S PROJECT.

II meets with no favor from the Democratic press.
70 fer ~ IT proposes 10 ask the consent OF Mexico TO
annexation. And in the fifth section he is wide a.
the mark In his construction Of the constitutional
power OF Congress over slavery. 1t reads thus:

ANNEX

Col. Benon's project Of annexation, meets with q
cool reception from the democracy everywhere and
with favor only among those most hstile 10 any con-
neIion at all Of Texas with the United States It's
not little singular that Mr. Benton should have
again ventured upon this project BY il he not only
offer. gross insult to the people Of Texas but high
ly disregsrds the views OF annexation which have
been put forth during the late campaign by all the
prominent members Of the democratic party, IS well
as the opinions Of large majority Of the people Of
the United States
The people Of Texas obtained their indepe pdence
and secured TO themselves republican form Of gov
eminent at the battle Of San Jacinto. They have
been recognised indie penden, nation not only by
our own Government, but by civilized Europe and
also obtained solemn promise from Santa Anna
that upon his release when prisoner their ndepen-
deuce should be recognised by Merico on his return
and now she cannot but look upon the proposal to ad
init her into this Union WHEN Mexico shall give her
consent, as absurd, preposterous yea gross insult
Certainly no one but a wilful, partisan Senator,
and for partisan purposes, would offer such propo.
siion and we grati6ed to see some of the lead
ing democratic journals protest against this course
The people too, Of the United States we affirm,
have decided against any reference of this question to
Santa Anna, and in favor OF i'm y edias annexation
That question was fairly and openly before the peo-
pie al the recent election, and the 10000 majority in
lis favor, which came laundering from Missouri can
not be misunderstood by her venerable Senator.
The course pursued by this gentleman, II adopted,
would have tendency TO defeat all projects OF an
nexation, and the many advantages which might 9th
errise be derived from the contamination of tbt,
UNION, be forever lost TO both nations
Again we say II IS 10 be regretted that Mr.. Ben
ton has taken such a course in this matter The
people Of the United States have, by their votes de-
handed that Texas be annexed, and we desire thai
that mandate be Immediately obeyed
