The PEACE TREATY.-H0rayaa Cores
pOndence.-The "Diarro de la Marina
published in Havana, contains correspon-
dence OF an interesting nature from Mexico.
1t appears that the MeXicans had consider
able difficulty in getting commissioners to
act in regard to the proposed treaty. One
of the letters declared, says the Picavune,
that Congress would not consent to convene
in the capital, but offered to meet in Quer-
etarO, from which fears were entertained
that it was their design to disapprove ofany
treaty which might be made. This view
of their probable action was confirmed by
the fact that the Executive, by his own
confession did not possess the power to
make peace. And furthermore, SAYS the
"DiarlO," there were many general officers
in Mexico at the last dates who declared that
they would resign, or which is the same
thing, abandon Santa Anna if a treaty sho'd
be concluded. From all which it would
follow that the position of the President was
extremely critical.
On the other hand, accounts from Quer-
etaro and other states agree that there is
league among eight of the states to resist to
the last extremity; that even should the
city of Mexico succumb, not an inch the
territory sought by the United States, should
be conceded. The editor OF the ''Diario.''
then draws the conclusion from all he can
learn that it was altogether probable that
even should peace be concluded it would
not put an end to hostilities, and that Para
DIES, would not fail to sustain hostilities.-

DEMONSTRATIONS TO THE IRUE
PRINCIPLEs.-The New York State Tenn
perance Convention at Albany passed the
following resolutions:
That the system Of licensing men to sell
intoxicating drinks is radically wrong, and
ought to be abolished; and all laws or parts
of laws, that sanction and Justify the traffic
in such drinks ought to be repealed.
That this Convention recommend to the
friends of Temperance throughout the State
to memoralize the next Legislature to pass

That's the rightdoctrince. If man puts
his bottle to his neighbours lips for sixpencc

Moreover, as the general pecuniary dam

statistics, assess that as a tax on all who
derive any pecuniary profit from the trade.
Under such laws let the muck -rakcs to whom

negotiations. The probabilities are that there Is no
truth in these rumors, and but little foundation for
hoping or believing that peace will soon be had.
IL The Wisconsin Argus dissents from our po-
-ition in adyocatingan exclusively letalonc policy
with regard to Bank paper in Wisconsin. 1t may
be that the Argus is rght-that it is necessary the
people should be protected in this matter by prohi-
billions of Bank paper, but We are not clearly con
WINGED that such is the case.
We have great deal of confidence in the people.
We satisfied they could get along with hall the
law they have inflicted upon them. and society be
better off IN every respect. This confidence has led
rs 10 the opinion that in all matters of business they
are fully able to protect themselves and therefore,
wish no legislative interference whatever in these
matters, believing that without it the common in
terest and common sagacity would keep every thing
straight and right
Without any tariff and with free and unrestricted
commerce, trade would be perfectly healthy, and
subject to no fluctuations. Every portion of the
earth would be put 10 the and purpose for which
it was best adapted-the products of the earth
would be raised with the least possible labor-and
an exchange from all parts OF the earth would take
place, beneficial in every point of view to all. To
our mind, this position cannot be controyerted. 1t
flows from the fact that men are always aware of
what is best for their interests and that if not
;ntcriered with, they will pursue the course which
promotes that end We do not see why the princi.
pie is not capable OF an extension and an applica-
ton to this case. Let business entirely alone. If
paper be not necessary in its transactions there will
be no paper; il paper be necessary, the necessity
will originate the paper and common interest will
keep II safe and sound. True, one man may find it
difficult to reject certain currency, if whole
munity endorse il, but see no reason for bis re-
jecting it. The interest Of one man of the produ
chg community is not dferentfrom that of another.
and the burden Of regulating these matters would
not rest upon one man, OF 4 few men, but would be
equally the interest of all and it would be common
interest and common opinion which would regulate
matters.
Our ground is summed M in a very few worjs,
