By lille and little the light is let in upon u.s. and
like persons who have been long shut up in dark.
mess, we hardly dare to trust sight, disclosing
% us unknown and unimagined things. Thus the
authorized publication of the Proclamation of Gen.
ScoTT has shed light upon things either too obscure
to be understood before, or, if understood, so
strange as to be incredible.
Since our article of last week was sent to press,
we have met with the subjoined article in Vir-
gnia journal, edited by gentleman* who is not
only thoroughly versed in the history and imbued
with the spirit of the institutions and public policy
of his own country but who has had the advantage
OF residence for several years. in diplomatic ca
pacity, in one of the Southern Republics of Anne
rica, and understands, probably as well any liv
ing citizen of the United States the character of the
people, the principles, and the purposes of all the
AGovernments on either Continent of america.
This article, it will be perceived, is founded upon a
adjudication in "the Union,' week or two ago,
(which escaped our notice at the time, but which we
have found under date of May 30, and which fully
bears out the construction upon which the enligh
yped and sagacous Editor Of " the Virginian " has
Based his commentary.
Going yet further back, we find among our ex-
cerpts from newspapers, laid by for future use, a
letter from the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, generally well advised) under the
date OF May IL, the disclosures of which are so
curious that we were obliged for once TO distrust
I hem. But we now discover, by the light afforded
| by the Unions" article, and by its avowal of the
General principles of Gen. ScoTT's Proclamation,
1. AZ D.l Co.,
|, better informed than we had supposed him to be.
He had, we now do not doubt, seen the projet of a
treaty with Mexico, carried out by Mr.. TRIsT,
4 (Chef Clerk in the Department OF State, now in
Mexco,) or sent out to him since he departed; and
he introduces his summary of it with the following
remarks, of which beg our readers 10 note every
= word, and especially those words which we have
placed in italics
"Mexico in future must be made to see and feel the light
and power Of the stars and stripes, and influence and
example both must enforce them into habits of industry and
good government, and the laws and usages Of civilized
ciety She must be whpped into good betarior,
till she be civilized and educated and made
worthy associate of the family of nations. oUn

her Insurgents driven from the SOIL and her mbece and
oppressed ana suffering nhablan are made parakers OF the
wealth and epjoyments and blessings which her soil and eli
mate produce, and which, above all other countries
der the sun, they forever be made yield. "
So much for the Preamble. Now for the par
ticulars OF the proposed Treaty
al Mexico is pay Of her old and the expenses
Of the war.

R The last provision OF this proposed Treaty is the
ony one to which we desire to-day to attract the
a'0pnon of the public. AS the basis of this last
hoA'e scheme, the |" Union : has cited the decla-
nnon 81 President MONROE, in one of his Mes
sages' "nch' intending in day or two to examine
