WASHINGTON. Jan'y


have not time TO write YOU long letter,
but will endeavor 10 make few points. Fist,
as to MIR Trist: You may take it for granted,
beyond cavi or dispute, that Mr. Trist has
sent to Washington a projet of treaty, (not
a treaty,) and that the same has been submit
ted to the President and discussed in Cabinet
council.
ID. You may take ii for granted that Mr..
Trist had no direct and positive authority to
make treaty, and that, consequently, the
whole, thus far, is mere er parte arrange
ment between Mr.. Trist on one part, and Mex
lean commissioners, acting without direct au-
thorIty of Congress, on the other.
81. That Mr. Trst and Gen Scott CO -ope-
rate with each other in these preliminary ar
engagements, and that both are sanguinc that a
treaty, on the basis contained in the pr0iet,
may be ratified by The Mexican Congress.
4th. That the Administration will seriously
consider the proposition, and that, in all pro
liability, the President will communicate it to
both Houses OF Congress and thereby hangs
tale.
The question is, what will Congress do
My opinion is, that they will advise a treaty
on that basis, to be made, and that the treaty
itself will eventually be ratified do not say
next week, but perhaps between this and the
fourth Monday in May next; and that is all
can tell you at present. The treaty is no,
quite as good as Gen, Taylor's Sierra Madre
line; but then the question is, did the old Gen.
eral mean this line as permanent frontier o.
The United States, or merely as line Of mill
tary defence, to be surrendered after the con
clusion of peace On this subject Major Bills:
might, perhaps, enlighten the public.
That the Projet of a treaty does not stop The
fighting in Mexico is evident from the last adj
vices, and that the projet Itself does not con
tain any tangible guaranty of the future
seems to be highly probable Meanwhile
has Mr.: Trist the power of disposing of thu
three millions
Another question is, can Mr.. Trst act a
pIenipotentiary after he is recalled, and wha
relation does he hold to the distinguished Sec
rotary of State ; And again, if Gen Scott ha
authorized Mr. Trist to act, does not that au
thority cease with the suspension and positiv,
recall of Gen Scott:

A NATIONAL CoNvENr1oN.-We publish
elsewhere in this weeks paper, the procee-
dings of the Democratic members of the House
of Representatives and OF the Senate, on the
subject of a National Convention. We know
that, in some quarters there are objections ur
ged against this mode of organizing the party ;
that it is too much like arranging matters by
the politicians at the Capital. But this, it will
be observed, is only recommendation. We
for one are heartily glad that the Democrats
OF the House and Senate have thus harmoni-
ously united in recommending the Convention
as we'll as its time and place of meeting. And
we feel sure that the whole democracy of the
country will cheerfully and harmoniously "a
dopt the recommendation. Most assuredIy
the representatives ofthe people, gathered from
all portions of the Union, ought to be able to
come TO better decision on this important
point, than detached presses or detached meet
ings. Well. the old time and place are fixed
upon. Let US, brother democrats, from this
day forward, lay aside all pickering about
men, and set to work to make such nomi-
nation as will ensure a glorious triumph OF
our principles in the coming fall.
MEssRs. CLAY AND WEBSTER IN MEx1co.-
We clip from letter written to the New Or
leans Delta. by its able correspondent Mus
tang from the city of Mexico, under date
9th Dec, the following paragraph which we
commend to the careful attention of the Wings
of North Carolina. We agree with the VIII
ter. and have expressed the same opinion or
many occasions heretofore. History will a.
ward to the course which the Wing leader.
are now pursuing, IFS proper deserts. Al
present the Wing party seems TO be blind tc
every other consideration than that of embar.
RAISING the administration But to the ex.
tract:
The speeches OF Mr. Clay and Mr.. Webster
have been received here. If these gentlemen
want to aid and assist the enemy, why dc
they not go into their ranks at once? 1fthey
had Mexican muskets on their shoulders, they
could not assist the Mex cans as much, or dc
us as much harm, as they have done by thei
speeches In the name of God, will the DO
liticians of our country never cease gambling
for the Presidency upon the blood of our eoun
trymen' Our army breads not danger, nor dc
they fear TO die in defence Of their country
but they do dislike to be sacrificed to the IN.
holy ambition of aspiring politicians and poll
teal knaves. Is there no way by which oui
friends at home can put stop TO the unpat
riotic conduct OF politicians. who would sac
rifice the whole army in order to eve tone t.
