The following scrap Of history, with the remarks
of the historian, it is thought, might have some in
terest, if not influence, at the present time II is
from the third volume of Prescots History OF. Fer
dinand and Isabella.
JOHN and CATHERINE King and Queen of
Navarro, at that time, and for many centuries be-
fore, an independent kingdom. Their titles to the
crown, as titles were then estimated, were undis-
puted. Ferdinand; the Catholic, after the death of
ISABELLA, compelled them, on the most frivolous
pretexs, to abandon their capital Navarro was in
corporaed with Spain, Of which it has since made
part, and denationalzed.
The right of making war;" says Prescott,
/" would seem TO include that Of disposinp of its
fruits subject, however, to those principles Of
natural equity which should regulate every action,
I" whether of public or private nature. No prn-
" cipe can be clearer, for example, than that the
penalty should be proportioned to the offence.
Now, that inflicted on the sovereigns Of Navarro
" which went so far to dispossess them of their
" crown, and annihiate the political existence of
" their kingdom, was such as nothing but extraor-
" dlnary aggressions on the part Of the conquered
nation, the self-preseryaton of the victors,
" could Justify. As neither Of these contingencies
" existed in the present case, Ferdinand's conduct
must be regarded as a fragrant example of the
" abuse of the rights Of conquest. We have been
too familiar indeed with similar acts of political
" injustice, and on much larger scale, in the pre-
" sent civilized age. But, although the number and
splendor Of the precedents may blunt our sensi-
bility 10 the atrocity of the act, they can never
!" constitute legitimate warrant for its perpetra-
i" ton"

WASHINGTON, JAN. %, lS4S.
II Mr.. TRIsT's treaty be accepted by the Senate
and acceded to by the House, las the treaty involves
the taking of lands and the paying of money! the
Wilmot proviso falls, of its own accord, to the
ground for in that case the Rio Grande east, and
the Gila west will form our boundary. And the
extreme curiosity Of the House 10 know the instruc-
tons given to Slidel and others will also abae. as
it will probably appear that the President has very
little more to show on paper. My wonder only Is,
that even the order to allow Santa Anna to pass,
should he attempt landing, was given in writing
but perhaps this could not be avoided, as no obe-
dience to an order verbally communicated could rea-
sonably have been expected from an officer. When
Venice, after an existence of fourteen hundred
years, at last absorbed by Austria, some Jealous
writer on diplomacy asked, as special favor from
Prince Meternch, that he should, be permitted to
examine the archives, and by tina. means the secret
history oEthat extraordinary Republic. The per-
mission was granted; but the Doges and Senators
OF Venice had been wiser men than was anticipated
even by the shrewdest diplomates of the present
day,,ot only did they keep their diplomatic trans
actionsa great secret, BUT THEY NEITHER KEPT NOR
PRESERVED RECORD OF THEM.

! LETTER FROM THE HON. JOHN MCLEAN.
rnom THE clscrssAr1 GAZETTE.

FROM THE CINCINNATI GAZETTE
The following letter was written to gentleman
in this State, and has been furnished us for publi-
cation. The opinions of our distinguished men,
upon the and the means Of ending it, should be
known. Judge MCLEAN occupies a high official
position, and has been named, and has many friends
in the several States, for the Presidency. His
opinions and suggestions will be highly appreciat-
ed, and tend to direct the public attention to the
runous consequences of this war;
WAsHrsGToS, JANUARY Z, ls4s.
My DEAR SIR: To all human appearance the
termination of this miserable war with Mexico is
more remote than when the first blow was struck.
In my judgment it was unnecessarily and unconst-
tutonaly commenced by marching our army into
disputed territory in the possession of Mexico !;
and | think that Congress, who unquestionaby
have the power, should put an end to the war on
Just and honorable principles.
After agreeing upon the terms on which treaty
should be made, they should call upon the Execu-
tive by resolution to offer peace to Mexico upon
that basis; and during the negotiation hosttes
should be suspended. Ii the President shall refuse
to do this, in the military appropriation bills the
army should be required to take such positions as
shall carry out the views of Congress. These
bills the President could not veto and he would be
bound by their requirements. This may be done
\ by the House.
/ hope Congress will refuse to issue any more
Treasury notes. The notes demanded, in addition
to those already in circulation, would flood the
country with that description of paper. Such an
emission would constitute a Government bank, con-
trolled and managed by a party Administration.
We have now fifteen millions of Treasury notes in
circulation, and authority to issue five millions
more. would not increase this circulation dol
lar, but reduce it as rapidly as possible. Such a
system would be incomparably more dangerous to
the public morals and the public liberty than any
other system of banking that could be devised
TO meet any deficiency O. the revenue to pay
the current expenses Of the war, would authorize
loans at par paying not more than six per cent in
terest and if loans be made at this rate, let
the Administration resort to system OF taxation,
which shall cause the people to feel the expense of
the war; All wars should be accompanied by a
system Of direct and nternal taxation Nothing
short of this can show. in addition to the sacrifice
of life, what we pay for military glory. This was
| the policy in the better days Of the republic.
\ The late war with England was noby sustained
by the people, not only in the field but by the
payment Of taxes. And they will sustain every
just war in which our country shall be involved.
But | risk nothing in saying that an attempt to
adopt such system of taxation would wind up
this Mexican war in sixty days. And this shows
that the war should be put end to. This may
We done by Congress in ninety days, and / pray
God that they may do it.
Very truly, yours,
JOHN MCLEAN.

friend who had fallen overheard Would you gather stones
and pile them bank that had fallen on brother Would
you throw keg Of powder to friend who had fallen in the
fire Then why heap words Of reproach upon him who had
erred from the path Of duty Why denounce him and spurn
him from your presence Can you be stranger to the hu-

The mneral lands included in the foregoing procama-
on embrace the greater portion of Keweena Point and the
southern shore OF Lake SUPERIOR in the northern peninsula of
Michigan and rendered immensely valuable by the ex
haustes mines OF copper and other found therein.
considerable number of those mines have already been
discovered the ranges bordering Lake SUPERIOR and
within few miles of and from the geological character of
the country and the explorations already made
doubted that others equally valuable will be found
throughout this whole mineral region"
In of the mines worked copper found almost
pure and fact Of the native copper and yield
greater per cenage than discovered in the world
Silver is also found in considerable quantities.
All the materials for the construction of
and fuel for smelling found in abundance in the imne-
date neghborhood OF the mineral and the face the country
is such that the mines require but little if any artificial drain
age and are therefore worked to great advantage.
The climate in the winter though cold does interrupt
the operations of the miners fact that considered
the most favorable for their operations.
The proximity OF these mineral lands to the shore Of Lake
SUPERIOR which several safe and excellent habo and
the water communication theeom by the Sault Ste. Marie

the products these lands the principal markets of the Un

yellow BIRCH &c. and by their thrifty growth give evidence of
the richness of the SOIL the product of which will command
iar price from their vicinity the mnes which will always
furnish good market.
