I'VE find in the New Orleans pa
pers, a long article taken from Mexican
paper, published in Queretaro, against ra-
tifying the treaty. The writer proposes
to wait until after the presidential election
in this country. We have not room this
morning for the whole article, but we give
one or two extracts:
"On the contrary, we are now so near
the presidential election, it would be bet
ter to await It's result, because it is certain
that, even should Mr.. Polk be reelected,
which is not probable, he, or whoever else
may be elected, would be more DESTROYS of
speedily making peace, and would make a
more conciliatory accommodation than that
which is now demanded"
Again:
"What we shall gain is to ascertain
whether MIR. Clay will be elected Presi-
dent or not. In the first case, it is clear
that, with his political principles, we shall
be able to make better understanding
with him than with one of the opposite
party.">
This needs no comment. All can see
now the obstacles in the way of peace.
Here is an enemy looking to Mr.. Clay and
his friends for support against the United
States.-Louisville Democrat.
Er'How much to publish this death?'
said customer at the Office of New
York paper.
-Four shillings.
why, paid but two shillings the last
time | published one
THAT was common death, but this is
sincerely regretted
4 tell you what said the customer,
down the four shillings, your ex-
ecutors will never be putt that expense
