Among the thousand evidences of the favor with which
the late convention with Hanover has been received
throughout the country, take pleasure in extracting
the following from the 'Ptsburg Gazette" of Wednes-
day. one of the most influential wing papers west of the
Alleghanes:
HANOVER TREAry.-The treaty recently concluded be-
tween our government and the kingdom of Hanover Is
of much Importance, and calculated to benefit very
materially trade not only with that power but with
the entire German Confederacy tits not often that we
called to bestow commentator upon the present adj
minisaton for any of their acts measures and il is
therefore, with pleasure that we award TO the Secretary
of State and to the able diplomatic agent who charged
with the mission, full need OF praise for the
which has attended this negotiation.
The great benefits likely TO arise from the Hanover
productions of all parts of country but more partcu
ary will it be experienced by the tobacco growing States
which is of the great articles of export 10 that
try The amount of tobacco, the last year, exported to
Germany proper exceeds, believe 900 hhds This
trade has heretofore been government monopoly, which
has operated very oppresslvely upon our merchants
Our government has been for course of years endea
voring TO do away with it, The Hanover treaty, in great
degree, accompishes this most desirable object.
The abolition of the transit duties will also operate most
favorably many of the articles shipped especially
upon whale OIL which has become large article of ex.
port that country Another benefit likely 10 arise from
it. and of great importance to our shpbuders, is this
Hanover, by the treaty. can send vessels to
ports except those of her build the build of their
own country Now, as it is well known that Hanover
has little timber, and no shipyards of any
ouence she must, her commerce with increases
and increase il will, to very great exent-necessarlly
build her vessels in the United States There are other
advantages embraced in the treaty. of which, however,
we have no time at present to speak We are glad to
perceive that the wing presses of our commercial cities
who are of able TO appreciate It's merits, exto it
highly
We sincerely hope that the Secretary of State will not
stop here but 20 on until he has placed commercial
interests upon the same favorable footing with the entire
German Confederacy
