THE PEACE TREATY.

The reports from Washington are very general
y concurrent that at the secret session of the Sen
ate on Friday, the clause of the Treaty relatino to
the land grants stricken out The result of the
hnal action in the Senate was still in DOUBT.
The Washington Union of Saturday night last
says" The general impression seems to be today
more decided IN favor of the ratification of the trea
ty with few notifications. Some seem to consi-
der that the striking out of the 10Th clause respect
ing The Mexican grants of land, decreases the
chance for It's ratification. This would seem 10 ba
mistake. On the contrary, the modification in
MS respect, which is recommended by the Presi
dent, increases the chance for its confirmation.
The question will probably be taken early in the
next week"
GG-Our agent at Washington sent us Tele
graphic despatch late on Saturday evening" in
which he says-''There has been r O final ,c,ion on
the Peace Treaty as yet, bu, it will be ratified

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

In your paper Of the Odd ult., is a communica-
non over the name OF the Rev. 5. Hildebrand, in
which nc makes some very heavy thrusts at me.
AS the reverend gentleman, for some cause best
known 10 himself, refuses to have committee 70
decide our matters, willing that facts shall do
it.
First, invite the attention of the public n y
certificate from the Rev. j. +. Smith of Wincb..

ance OF his editorial article referring to Mr. Hide

shond have been taken Of such matter DR.. X.
replied that he had received several letters ON the
SUBJECT. and felt himself compelled to notice it,
Your name was mentioned q believe by myself) in
connection with those letters; and Dr. K stated. if
am not mistaken, that you had not written to him
on the subject. IF. SMITH
Secondly, an extract from DR.. KS letter to me.
October 90, lS47:
You say pos'tirely you had not written to me
PRIOR TO my first editorial; and further, that | ad-

stated that you did, must have been mistaken.1
am prepared to exhibit Dr. X IS letter to m,
at any time. DIR. X did bring me into 'sdifficul-
~" through mistake; but the Dr. has since .sre-
lleved" me. Our good MIR. ii. should have taken
the Bible for his guide then he would have nut
more charitable construction on this matter He
might be well prepared to sympahse with others
who are in difficulties" as he has his share Of
them.
Lastly. as to the certificates sigred by indlvidu:
ais, in which they assert that they heard me saw
wrote postscript in MIR. Weldon's letter to Dr. X.
on which he based his editorial of March %, l847.
One of those signers says, he heard me say this

prove by many disnterested persons who heard mo,

was written after the editorial was published At
that time mentioned no date. If those persons
admit that said second letter, then the public will
see that those certificates Of place for il is
clear, that MIR. III. referred to Mr. WIS first letter
am prepared 10 prove by witnesses, as we'll an
the latter date of the Lutheran Observer that the
postscript referred TO in Mr.. Weldon's second

GEN. TAYLoR's GRAMMAR.-The Boston Chro-
notype makes grammatical analysis of General
Iaylor's letter To D. II. lngersoI, and appeals 10
us to defend The cid soldiers verbal inacuracies-
But we would not defend anybody's bad writing
not even our own. The best authors have written
badly at times, and il is not much to be wonder
ed II that Gen. Taylor should have written one
bad letter, considering the circumstances under
which all his letters were written in Mexico as
that he should write SO many excellent ones II
was the admirable method of Gen. Taylors letters
we must confess, which first gave us so exalted an
opinion of his talents and hu,nanity and tie fact
that they were attributed TO the pen Of Major III SIS
did not diminish our respect for the man who had
the discrimination TO select person of such talents
for his Secretary. Like master like man. will
doubtless hold good in this case as in all Others
Walter Scott used to laugh at an old amanuensis
of his, who claimed for himself the credit of some
OF the Navery Novels which he had written from
the dIctation of the author; the public might as
well attribute the merit Of Pre- ,coit's Histories 10
The ananuensls who penned them. as to award Gen

verbal correctness of General TayloT's letters which
constitute their merit, but The prudence clear

written since Major Bliss has been a: the North
IL Is very evident that they proceed from the same
source whence those came which frs; attracted The
admiration Of the country, and we have never
doubted Tor moment that General TAYLOR was
as much the author of his letters and dispatches,
as that Washington of those which bear his
signature. 1t would be most singular if man
like General Taylor, who never had occasion to
cultivate his STYLE and to whom the sword is
more familiar weapon than the pen, should uni
formly write in style at once correct and ele-
giant. The original letters Of General Taylor in

distinguished by the same clearness of style and

WEDNESDAY, MARCH s. ls4s.
GENERAL TAYLOR.

General TAYLOR has been declared to DO the
choice of Virginia for the Wing nomination subject
to the decision Of the National Convention. As
Wings of Virginia we intend cheeriully to abide
by that decision, and we do not wish TO lie misun-
derstood as to the reasons which have brourht us
TO this conclusion.
We are Whigs-party Wings; we desire TO
have Wing President and Wing administration.
and could, under no circumstances consent TO ab,n
don cur Wing principles for any temporary no.
party 'riumphs. We regard the mere selection
and election Of any man as Presdcn, as \ small
matter compared to the permanent ascendancy Of
sound conservative Wing principles, and we should
consider 1t a most mschevous experiment to elect
any man without regard 10 las opinions upon the
great fundamental principles which constitute the
landmarks of our party divisions.
entertaining these views, and scornng all CON
cealment OF them, we prepared cordially to sun
port General TAYLOR if he shall receive the Wbip
nomination.
we have observed Gen. TAYLOR closely for the
last two years, and if faith can be placed in man.
no Is an honest man. He has talents of hiuh
order, which have been conspicuously displavod in
the practical administration of most mpor,an, and
responsible trust. He is firm and self possessed
under all circumstances prompt and energetic. rs
ing win the occasion always equal to the emergen
cy II then his views as TO the general policy q,
our government are sound all will admit that bo i;
proper person TO conduct the administration OF
public affairs
That he is a Wing we have tho unwaveripo
testimony of all his friends and associates and b;s
own express declarations, TO say nothing of the evi
dence furnished by the treatment which he has re-
ceived from the Democratic Administration and lie
Democratic supporters. What more do we want 4
What more could we ask q?
Are the Wings prepared 10 require from man
whom they esteem worthy of the Presidency 4 mi
mute specification Of the Executive Job, accompa-
MED by bond and security for its faithful execution
TO the mnuest particulars or do they consider il
more consonant with the dignity of the station and
inc character OF the man, 10 be satisfied that his
general views and opinions, his tastes and his SYM
pathes are Wing, and 10 confide something TO the
enlightened deliberations Of an honest and clear
neaned man, whose past history has proved that he
can think, write ana act clearly, ably and wisely.
whether engaged in the active duties of the camn
against an open foe, or in the more delicate and df
icult task Of oiling the artful diplomacy of Tam
many graduate.
We appreciate the feelings of those of our WING
friends who are called upon 10 yield preference
founded upon long association in a common struggle.
and they will believe when we say that il is
the strongest evidence we have ever been required
to give of our devotion to Wing principles.
