GRourDs OF "PArRIor1sM." -Wil some one Of
our war advocates favor us with their conjectures,
as 70 the amount of interested patriotism-paid for
In the manner foIlowing-there may, at the present
time, be mingled with the genuine article.
"Capt. Thistle, live -oak keeper, or Inspector or
agent, IN Florida, under Tyler, who has been in this
city for more than year, is driving pretty snug
business with the Government. He has got con-
tract ior furnishing 1900 packsadd!es, which

The Iiibane make the following Just remarks:-
We have here an inside view Of one of the chief
causes of the popularity of Wer. Mr.. Polk wants
hfteen hundred pack-saddes for the Mexican War.
Very we'll Mr.. CambeIl on the avenue is sad
der and would like the job of furnishing these sad
dies. Good again. But Mr.. Polk, or his Secretary
Commssary, or what not, does not advertise that he
wants SO many saddles, to give saddlers fair
chance all around to submit proposals for furnishing
them nor does he do even the next best thing-call
In Mr. sCambell on the avenue, and ask him to make
the saddles, if he will do it in reasonable time, at
reasonable price. But he gives the job of furnishing
saddles to Capt. Thistle liveoak keeper, alread-
partly gorged with the spos of sinecure Office,
and Capt. Thistle hires Mr.. Caube, the saddIer, to
make the saddles. OF course, the hole made in the
Ten Millions which Congress has already voted to
carry on this war, is good deal larger than it would
have been proposals had been advertised for and the
job contracted to the lowest bidder. 1t was quite SUI
perfuous to add that Capt. Thistle is driving snug
business with the Government Such Thstles are
but part of the noxious vegetation which War fos-
tiers into rank luxuriance and which in turn exhaust
their breath clarifying and its authors, go for
Our Country, Right or Wrong and denounce as
traitors all who demur to wholesale butchery.-

THE TREArr.-The Oregon Treaty and accompa-
Documents, have at lengta come to light, but their
length excludes them from our columns. We shall
publish the Treaty, however next week. The Cor
respondence proves that the oar made by Great Brit
ain was not her uLtimatuma,-that the Free Naviga-
ton of the Columbia Rivera most unwarrantab,e de-
mand, has been basey yielded forever to all Brit
ish subjects land the total emptiness of Mr.. Folks
prstence that he did not wish the notifications of
treaty embracing these conditions. We regret-no
we want stronger word-we abhor and detest this
Treaty in itself, our :" gorge at it, when we
think of the manner of its adoption, and the "pom-
pous rhodomontade" about the whole or none, pre-
ceding it. We do net even pretend to find excuse
for the Senate, with what loathing then must
gard that miserable creature Young Hickory" who
with his own hand, signs away not only our 'unques
tionable title to five degrees ofatttude but includes
with it the free navigation of of eur rivers
and shares with our rival the comns-ksa of hemis
