RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF PEACE
WITH MExlco.-The Washington Saturday
Evening News, says, for several days past,
we have been led to anticipate the welcome
intelligence indicated by the caption Of this
paragraph; and on Thursday night des-
patch was received from the south, that the
treaty of Peace with Mexico had been final
" ratified by the Senate of that Republic.
From a previous despatch we had learned
that the treaty Of peace had passed the
Chamber of Deputies on The evening Of the
18th ul,imo by vote of 81 in lis favor and
IS against it. 1t is remarkable fact tina,
the military members were almost TO man
in favor Of peace. The Mexican commits
sioners, who negotiated with Mr.. Tris,, in
their report to the Government, conclude
with high compliments to the skill and high
probily Of Mr. .Tris,, recalled and sent home
prisoner by order of the Presidency and
lhev declare that she leaves in Mexico the
mos, grateful and honorable recolleclions."
The pacific intelligence from Mexico
will no doubt cause a general feeling of
satisfaction, Throughout, the United States,
a, least among those who are not interested
in the continuance of the war, or whose
feelings are not narrowed up, by its sangui-
nary and inhuman tendencies. We sincere
" rejoice at the ratification Of the treaty.
peace is our dear delight"
Since writing the above we have read the
bulletin published in the Union of yesterday
as received by telegraph. We make the
following impor,an, extract.

The Whig friends of Henry Clay held laige and enthusiastic meeting as Alhsny, New York, on Fri day-nght, August lth. The meeting is said to have been composed of men of high influence and character. Col. L. $ Littieohn presided, assisted by 20 Vice Presidents and 10 Secretaries
 Among the resolutions adopted we find the fol lowing, which was carried by exclamation:
 ''Resoived. That we meat on this occasion to re- assert political faith and to stand by the old land marks of the party we love, and by the principles we eherish-Preferring defeat under the time-hon- ored banner of our party, rather thaH success through the name Of man.

We hnd in the whig psPsr of Ohio, a letter fsoIa Thos. Corwin. dated Washington. uly ee. and sd- dressed to J NJ Clements, of Iadians.--The otsect of the letter is to explain the writer's motives for supporting Gea. Tayior, whsch he daes bv assuming. as he Is authorised to do from Gen. TsyIos's letters that he Is pledged not 10 veto whatever restrictions upon slavery Congress may pass The portion of his letter devoted 10 this subject is as fsllews We commend il as topic of comment to our Southern Thig orators:

 The Ron- slaychcldng States should ask this oues- ton 'Wili the man proposed, {wbether he live in free or slave Staie) his power for the exien sion of slavery to territory, where IL does not now exist On this point, what is Gen Tayior's pow sF' No more, answer, than yours, unlexss he should exert it through his veto Will he do this ! ! aRsheer, aecgFdtag to his pledges he cannot.

John Buren and the ..oId GentIeman.;,

Major Noah of the \. Y. Sunday Times. has been exciting ssibe faculties with the following anecdotes of the younger and elder Van Baren-
 Inquiries were made at the meeting In the Park fos John Van Buren. One half of the company to hear him speak, not caring a straw for the issue. John there, but he refused to speak. He saw all the old faces and would repeat that one speech again. and he had dished up nothing new The world is angry Nith NIT. Van Buren for having led his into this political morass but rather think the son has le the father into the quagmlre When John established the Albany Atlas to put down the Argus-ihe thing of all others which has made the present muss in the party--the old gentle man went up to Aibany from kiuderhook 10 remoa- strate with John, and tO preach caution, miidness, and forbearapce. He saw what woad gro~ out of t, and aaInonshed the son 10 be careful and not b get into fight with the Argus Young IIoispur heard him ont with his usual cmability, aiId said in reply: My dear sir. have tho greatest respect for your opinion, your experience, aTd your Judg- meat: but what the d-i do you know of poliics7'' There Is doubt that the old gentleman has great confidence in Johns iasnt, but not in his discre- ton, and they have no secrets from each other.
 The Van Barren family all dreadful sleepers; they sii up half the night, and lay in bed nsi noon droll scene occurred once in Washington when Mir. Van Buren Was Vice President. He laid n bed 30 late that he could not reach the Senate al i2 o'clock to call that honorable body 10 oraer.

 "Agrsed" said the ol3 geRt-msu.
 One uigbt John sat up playing brag V ith parcel of roySters until lhe mornings dsrted is rays through the green blinds. Bless me .f' said he why its eight o'clock must go and call the old gentleman up." John went to his own ehamber, made his toilet and then went iato has fathers bed room.

 'ob. Johpi let me sleep little ipnger,'
 'Not a minute! Yoa remember the blrgan.''
 So he rolled the old gentleman into his blanket and sheet. and deposited him very gently the floor, and left him.
 One thing is certain between the old and young magcians, they distras; each others quekness apt. and discrimination. Some time ago there q caucus at Flagg's at Albany, to talk political matters. Col. Young. John Van Barren, the President, with other leading men, were present. Mr. Van Bureu, usual. was preaching caution, concisistion. and moderation to all Johns pTop0si tions.

 The letter was written the 18th of February, and the question which he refuses to answer was, whether President, he would veto a bl extending slavery into territories.
 What he thought in l5l7 the inherent right ol every freeman 10 possess he made il pFiaeiple in ISls to refuse to make known!
