RIGHTLY STATED. The Printers of Pitts
burgh lately held Festival, and among the
sentiments announced was the following, Il
puts perverted sentiment into the right
shape;
sour Country right or 'oJong.-We will
stand by her when right; when wrong, we will
try to right her"
This expresses the true doctrine-acknowl-
edges the fundamental principle of Republic,
to wit: that the people have a right TO speak
and TO act-and repudintes the monarchical
idea that slavish obedience must be rendered
to bad rulers and their corrupt measures, and
recognizes the duty of the people to set the
Government right when it is wrong.

INFORMANT TREATY.--An important treaty
was concluded with the government of New
Granada some months ago, by our charge dat
flares near that power, and has Just been ratified
by the Senate. For more than twenty years,
our commerce has suffered under the pressure
Of heavy discriminating duties in the ports of
New Granada, from which British commerce has
been exempt Attempts have been made by all
our recent Administrations to remove these du-
ties. Our present charge, Mr. Bidlack, has sue
ceeded in carrying the wishes of his government,
in this respect, into effect. But the most strik-
ing feature Of this treaty, and that which will
most attract the public attention, is the right of
way secured by it to us from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, across the isthmus of Panama right
of passage for commerce, by ship-canal or rail-
road Washington Union.

From Mexico.

The American Commissioners we're nearly
four days III isurneyng from Mexico TO Quere-
taro. They were received at every stopping
place on their route with great hospitality and
respect. On their arrival at Queretaro a body
of Mexican troops, accompanied by some of the
high iunctionaries of the government came out
to meet them, and on entering the city they
were welcomed by the city en- pidsse. A house
was prepared for their reception, and quarters
for the troops by whom they were escorted
During the night an attempt was made to excite
an outbreak, but the movement was suppressed
by the authorities On the 2sth ult., the Com
missioners visited the President and presented
their credentials, when speeches congrauatory
OF one another on the peace prospects were
made by both parties,
The Commissioners endcavored to get permits
sion for the cavalry and artillery of the Ameri-
can Army to leave the country by way of San
Luis Potosi, but this wns steadily refused. Aner
the exchange of notifications, on the 30th, speech
were again interchanged, and the Mexican
President assured Mr. Sewer that he would
shortly appoint resident Minister to the Gov
eminent Of the United States.
a proposition has been introduced in the Mex
lean Congress to send immediate and efficient
aid TO Yucatan. The number of American de-
serters at QuereIaro was very great, many of
whom were recognized by the officers who ac-
companied the Commissioners.
The Vera Cruz papers states that Americans
and foreigners are daily arriving at that port in
great numbers, preparatory to quitting the coun-
try. They feel that there will be little security
for them after the embarkaton of the American
troops. Many of the Mexicans themselves dread
n return to the old government

81 Hon. Joseph T. Buckingham has sold out
his interest in the Boston Courier, and retired
from editorial life His yaledctory appears in
the Courier of the oath. He commenced the
paper in 1924, when there was but one other
daily paper in Boston. The reason of his retir-
ing at this time, appears TO be, that he could not
conscientiously yield to the drift Of things in the
Presidential question.
Mr. Buckingham is succeeded in the editorial
conduct of the Courier by Samuel Kettell and
Isaac W. Frye. Both gentlemen have been
connected with the paper for some time-Mr
Kette as frequent contributor, and Mr. Frye
as news editor. They have run up the flag of
TAYLOR and Fillmore.
