That pena Pena had been chosen the provisional President. tsinee in the absence of the delegates from Yucaian. the votes for Herrera, can not be uUsealed) and that the committee on foreign rciahous, had made re- port altogether In favor Of inc ratification of the treaty. The Delta of the Z7ih says:
 'All doubt with regard to the ratification of the treaty seems to be at an end. The committee of the Mexican Senate to whom the subject was refer rcd. made favorable report on the l3 inst.
 In the rgnclusion of thelr report, the committee says: We approve Of the trsaty concluded with the United States of the North on the 9d of Feb ruary of this year, with all the notifications made by the Senate and Government of the same United States T"

 The sentence of the parties recently tried for burglary and mur6ef in the city of Mexico had not been msde public st the latest dates; the general impression was, however, that they would be sen fenced to be hanged
 Our Commissioners Messrs Sevief and Clifford, were stl in the city of Mexico st our latest dates, and it was considered than probable that they would not leave for Querear0 before they received information of the ratification of the treaty" It will be seen from the above that we need en- tertain no doubt of the final ratification of the Tea ty All of those high in authority who are upon the spot and from their facilities for obtaining true n formation upon the subject capable of forming a correct judgment, are making preparations for peace. The Mexican government is takiLg every measure ts strengthen iiself against the attempts of the disiected part, and even should the treaty not pass :he house ofDelegates by ss large vote as at first anticipated some, seeing that the ratification IS certain without their votes, may probably vote against t in order to avoid the responsibility and 10 be upon the safe siie win their stituents From all that have hitherto learned, shall expect by the next arrival to hear of the conclusion of peace

 At the instance of several Democratic friends we would sugecst this as an occasion upon which tho nemocEary of the county might properly express an opinion in relation to the nominees of the eceat convention at Baltimore and tha, meeting nigh, be formed which should ncTuina,e candidates 10 Tep- resent the comfy o Pulaski in the next legislature May we not at the same time, propose as . candi- date for the State Senate, some democrat who would be acceptable to our friends in Prairie, and present him for their consideration and approval- The time Is drawing near when the canvass must be eommenced, and no occasion will probably sgain occur, when so fair and full an expressrOa can be had. In the mean while, we can assure the whigs that is not our intention even in this county to give up one iach until we are fairly conquered.-- We have beaten them more than once, and let every Democrat say again, "Ill try"
