To strangers in the country, it would appear al
most Incredible that grave Senators could be found
arrayng themselves. in opposition TO the immediate
and direct nter SITS of their constituents. The Sena-
TO who voted against the Treaty, by doing, re-
fused to open new and great mart for anumber OF
the largest and most important staples of the country
Let Kentucky, whose great staple is tobacco, look al
her Senators refusi her a new and important mar
ket with improved favor and terms. he same
as to Tennessee, W tn her two staples, cotton and
tobacco LIKEWISE Louisiana, with her cotton. So,
also, With Mississippi, Georgia, and Nor'h Carolina,
with their cotton and Indiana with her lard one Sc
nator of each Of those States voli, & against the
Treaty. We add, also, Virginia and Mary land
each with their great staple tobacco Senator OF
the former and bo.h those Of the latter State also
voting against the Treaty
Let he People of the United States not forget,
when in future time, they will f, eli the want of the
German market for their products, that it was once
offered to them on equitable and reciprocal rms,
and that factious majority of the Senate denied
them the OPP jrtuoi,y to secure it.
The question will naturally arise in the minds Of
many what can be assigned for this procedure
Of the Senate. We answer Hostility to John Ty-
Ter! 1t is to deprive him of the credit of consum-
mating acts which would have conferred so much and
such lasting benefits on his country. The same ani
mostly of feeling sctuated the Senate in regard to
the Treaty with the German confederation as that
negotiated with Texas.
The time, we predict, will arrive, and that too,
ere long, when those who have been the instruments
of defeating the ratification those treaties will be
held TO q severe accountability and made responsible
for the consequences by the People.
The time, also, we prophecy, is not far distant,
when grateful People will appreciate the motives or
and besow their reward on, John Tyler for the disin.

ting those treati's, in the purpose Of fulfilling both
duy and a desire 10 advance the interests of the
country and the welfa of its citizens.
