THE zoLL vEREIN TREATY.

Great complaint was made, some
months ago, BY the Tyleriies in partieu-
lar, Of the Wing Senator'S, who had reius-
cd 10 ratify the Zoll vercin treaty. especi-
ally in the tobacco and eoiion-growing re-
glon, because. as il was alledged. its pro-
visions were somewhat favorable 10 those
articles. The annexed extract from lead
ing Loeofooo paper amply exposes the
stupidity Of the nego,iaiors Of that treaty,
and yindicaies The wisdom Of the course
pursued in relation 10 j, by the Wing ma
jority in the Senate:
From the New Yak Morning News
People abroad are aware Of the grounds
on which the Senate declined to raiify the
Zoll Verein neaty negotiated BY Mr..
Wheaton. II not only exactcd more from
this country than !, yielded in return, bu,
BY involving question Of diffcrential du-
ties, was n direct invasion of the powers
Of Congress under whose authority The ex.
isting duties are levied. This was no,
all. IL was not discovered until the Urea.
ty was already before the Senate. that by
virtue Of treaty siipulations with England,
that country would be entitled to claim. in
the event Of its adoption, all the advan-
tages intended TO be conferred exclusively
on the Zoll Vercin. Here again, BY re.
troactive effect, would the whole OF TIM,
part Of the Tariff which contemplated ar.
ticles Of British manufacture, have been
nullified by the ratification Of treaty with
third power! The folly and precipita-
iion Of the late administration could scarce.
" have been rendered more conspicuous.

FUNERAL SOLEMNlTlES IN HON
OR OF GEN. JACKSON.

On last Monday large concourse Of
the citizens Of Ami,e, and from other
lcounties, and from our sister state Of
Louisiana, met together in this place in
accordance with previous notice, for the
purpose of participating in the solemn
zation Of the funeral ceremonies in hon
or OF the departed hero and statesman,
Gen. ANDREW JACKSON. The proc ession
was formed on the ives. side OF the pub
lie square, and, under the guidance Of
the proper officers, Proceeded to the spot
prepared for the reception of the multi
tude, by the efficient Committee of Ar.
rangements. The whole preceded by an
excellent band Of music which had been
procured from Clinton. The spot select
ed for the speaking was beautiful si,ua
ted, and the wide spread ding branches of
the forest trees effectualIy excluded the
rays Of the sun. Commodous stands
were erected for the speakers and musi
clans, and seats provided Tor the accom-.
mediation of the largo assemblage pre-.
sent. A largo number OF the fairer
part OF creation graced the occasion with
their presence.
The ceremonies were opened by an
appropriate prayer from the Rev. Mr..
Roberts, Chaplain of the Day, after
which |. F. THOMPSON, Esq, delivered
suitable address,. We have space for but
lew remarks concerning the performance
'oi Mr.. Thompson. Suffice it to say, his
ad dress elected praise from his friends,
and reflected credit upon himself. The
meeting then took a recess OF fifteen
minutes.
After the time for tho recess had ex-
pred, the meeting again convened. The
exercises we're commenced by most i'm
nressive address and prayer by The Rev.
Mr.. Reeves, Of Pike county. After
which JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Esq, agreeably
to appointment, addressed the assem-
blage. We have neither time nor space
to give detailed sketch OF his remarks.
The whole address was replete with in.
tersst and instruction, and some portions
chastely beautiful and eloquent,
After prayer from the Rev. Mr.. Bonds
the meeting dispersed.
Taken as whole, every thing went
off in the most agreeable manncr.--
Our citizens have paid the last tribute Of
respect to the memory Of the illusirious
dead-to one whose deeds in the tented
field gild with a halo Of glory the
brightest pages OF our nations history,
and whose eminent services and pure
patriotism will be forever cherished as
.he most precious jewels in the casket Of
our country's greatness.
We forgot to mention. in the proper
place, that the brethren OF the Masonic
fraternity, took part in the solemnitiea OF
the occasion.

RuMoRS OF WAR WITH MExIco.-By the
late New Orleans papers we learn that ru.

WAR WITH MExIco.-We tako the
following paragraphs from the las, mum
ber OF the IJopc.
1--WE have row TO say tina. il Mexico
is mad enough to leopard her national
existence by declaring war against the
United States, wo hope our government
will make no child's play Of the matter,
but proceed at once, with energy, to put
an end TO the contest in way that shall
rebound to the honor Of the American
name, and at the same time convince all
European powers that we are masters OF
our movements on this continent.
"lf there is to be war, let it be no
lemporizlng affair, but prompt, effica-
cious and conclusive. Let the whole
country, without a dissenting voice, sus,
tain the government; and let the govern.
menl act as becomes the representative OF
q great nation-a nation too magnanimous
TO provoke a war with an irresolute and
powerless people, but energetic enough,
when forced into ii, 10 make the aggres-
sve party fully alone for It's rashness.-
We hope that Mexico, relieved from the
easconading influences Of few hot head
ed lunctionaries, will yet retrace her
steps. If she does not, the consequences
will DO upon her own head. A war be,
tween this country and Mexico should, as
a thing Of course, DO short and decis i've"

and the vessels are going off Immediately
to prevent being seized"
The N. o. Bee ALSO, has the following
in postscript:
ave hear from person who has i,
from an authentic source that the Mexican
government has closed lis ports 10 AmeFl'
can commerce."
The only rumor, according to the city
papers, which appears to be we'll authenti-
Gated, is one, that the Mexican Consul has
received orders from his government TO
withdraw Immediately from this country
The exac, nature Of the Consul's instruc
tons, are, as matter of fcourse, un-
known, but il was expected that he would
close his office on the 9th instant, and
cease to exercise his ministerial duties.
We.cannot believe that the government
Of Mexico is so entirely demented as to
declare war against this Union. A gov
eminent that is so helpless that it canno,
protect it's border inhabitants from the
hostile incursons Of wandering hordes Of
Indians, surely will have too much sense
TO venture upon declaration ofwar with
one Of the first powers Of the earth.
The only beligerent demonstration tina, is
likely to be made by Mexico, in our hum
bic opinion, will be to enforce a non-inter-
course law with the United States.
In order 10 lay before our readers all
Information in our pc session relative to
this interesting matter, we extract the fol-
lowing paragraph from the N. o. Courier,
of tho 4,h instant:
up. S.-Since the foregoing was written
we have seen letters from Mexico Of July
22, which say sar ,oas ineritabIe. The
Senate Of Mexico had assembled in order
to discuss the question Of peace or war,
and the issue depended on their deIibora
tions. Until the result was known the
Mexican ports would contne open as usu.
al to American trade"

or made conditions with the enemy, and
thus allowed themselves to be shotn Of
their strength, Old Amite has presented
an unbroken front, and successfully re-
PEELED the assaults OF the ocoloco and
