"A wheat Yeast Powders. These Powders arc an
admirable substitute for Yeast, in making all kinds
of Butter Cakes, and have the advanta ge over that
article in making the Batter perfectly light and

these Powders less likely to disagree with the

WASHINGTON, July 4.
More TREATY DIscLosuRRs.-Thet treaty
which you no doubt will have published be-
fore this reaches YOU together with slight
correction in phrase, will create some sur
prise. lis contents were not what have gen.
orally been supposed. The navigation CT
the Columbia River is thought by many 10
reach only ill Tie year 1858, and 10 be con-
fined 10 the Hudson Bay company and all
the British subjects trading with ihem.' But
you can see what the language purports.
The conduct OF President Polk, however,
in the whole affair, rendered doubly conspIc-
uous by the efforts Of the Union 10 prove
that, except for the conduct of the Senate,
the terms would have been much better for
the United States Mr.. Folks Message,
which accompanied the Treaty, which will
send you in few days, as have said in a
ormer letter, did not say that he dissented
from The terms now offered by Great Britain.
He, on The contrary, with true and charac-
ierlsIlc erasiveness, informs the Senate that
since his last communication ON the subject,
has opinion and action haze Undergone no
change
But another strange part Of the affair was
that Mr.. McLane, in transmitting the terms
Of The treaty, did not allege that The boun-
dairy as finally fixed was the best that could
be obtained. On The contrary, il was inien-
ded as an opening 10 negotiations. The
President, howevtr. snapped at thefrst pros
pect Of settling the matter, and rushed on as
heedlessy into peace as he had before into
war. As TO his opinions not being changed
il was very likely. as there never WAS any
body who knew them, but as 10 his 'aclion'
nOr being changed, how did he suppose he
could change what he had done The past
is not under his control.
Under the terms OF the treaty. the British
are u remain in possession, and can hold the
fine lands on the North offhe Columbia Riv
err, up 10 latitude 40. They are TO have
possession of the military forts down below
49, for aughi that appears, and although
nominaly under our jurisdiction. they will
own all the property and the lands which
they have in possession. Besides, Mr.. Polk
could have asked the advice of the Senate as
10 the expedienoy Of arbitration. as well as 10
have consulted them on the terms of the
treaty. Had arbitration been restored TO,
and we had ciairneduptn 40 Internationally,
no award W ,uld have been made more than
the terms now obtained.
The truth of the whole matter is simply
this: Mr.. Polk finding that he was likely 10
have war with Mexico was anxious TO get
rid OF England on any terms. While he was
directing the Union TO cry out WARP war;
&c, and telling The country that we must
look the English Lion in the face. he was
trembling with fear at every breath that came
from the other size Of the wafer.

LOCO PROTECTION ON WOOL.

The course pursued by the Loco. Editors
in relation TO the tariff on wool, ofall things
has been the most execrable and even cow
ardy. Heretofore they have never dared
boldly 10 denounce the tariff but whenever
they have found spot il il which seemed
defective in protection which they now open
ly denounce, they have entered The breach
and clamored like SO many magpies. Course
wool is the thing about which they have
praiiled until the word is sick Of them. The
truth is, that most of the wool from South
america which islsuhjeced to The lowest rate
ofduiies is in reality fine wool, which should
pay the largest rate of duties, amounting To-
rs per cent advalorem were the law fairly
executed.
But a loco foco congress was elected and
what has been done about course wool. In.
stead of protecting the country, they
have now discarded ah protection what
ever. The duties on all woods which are
fine. comprising all wool even South Amer
lean which comes in competition with The
domestic clips, are reduced 10 thirty percent
advaIorem. This protection is just nothing
at all. 1t is intended 10 be SO. On wollen
goods, the Mckay bill proposes from 20 TO
% per cent, which is in fact worse for the
wool grower than if the raw material were
reduced 10 that standard.
But this will not help the scales Of from
the eyes Of the people. They love 10 be du
ped, and although caught in snare, they
learn nothing by experience. The merest
gossamer prevents them from seeing the
bare hook and they bite again.
All lOcofocodom is rejoicing in the reduc-
lion o. the tariff The Vermont press is as
loud as any other in its approval Of this blow
10 our prosperity. Thus to be wounded in
the house of these who have hitherto pro-
iessed SC. much sympathy especiallyiOr wOsl
growers is too much.
