writer in the Democratic Review, (says
the Charleston Evening NeDs,) asserts
that the Administration is willing to make
to Mexico, as the defeated party, any pos
sible concession in point Of favor, and that

the instructions of Mr.. Trist. Should the
Mexicans desire il, Mr.. Buchanan will him
selfgo down aud negotiate in the city OF
Mexico. This enanates, il is understood,
from source entitled to confidence, and
accords with the observations of the cores

rer, and other journals. The conditions
on which the u. s. Government is willing

accept land in payment Of our just de-
mands.

will mol comprise more than Upper Cali
