WILL 1T Pass As every thing relating to the
fate of the peace treaty is of high interest about
these times, we copy the following from the Wash
ngton letter of the Philadelphia Ledger, of Febru-
airy. Goth:
+" The treaty will be confirmed beyond doubt
There are some stick1ers to forms who still OPP
posed TO it, but it il now ascerained that Messrs
Calhoun. Yuee and Hunter will vote for it. The
President, though approving of the treaty, has re-
commended that certain obnoxious features of it
be amended, and this will be DONE The objec-
tionabe features consist in the securing Of certain
British interests in Texas and California, in the
shape of Empressario grants of land. The amend
ed treaty will be sent back by more COM
missioners, but whether the Mexicans will accept
suck an amended treaty is quite another question.
Baltimore paper add-swe learn from the most
unquestionable authority that the treaty will be
ratified with the proposed amendments, and that
those amendments will not prevent its acceptance
by the Mexican government.

THE MISSISSIPPI AT MIDNIGHT.

THE MISSISSIPPI Al MlDNiHi1l
How solemn sweeping this dense black tide
No friendly lights i the heaven o er lis
A murky darkness on either side,
And kindred darkness all before Us
Now, drawn nearer the shelving nm,
Wield- like shadows suddenly Use;
Shapes OF mist and phantoms dim
Battle the gazer's stranins eyes.
River tends, with malignant faces
Wild and wide their arms are thrown,
As if TO clutch i'll fatal embraces
Him who sails their realms upon.
Then, by the trick of our own swift motion,
Straight, tall giants, an army vast,
Rank by rank like the waves of ocean,
On the shore march Silly past.
How solemn the river trailing pail,
Which takes, but never again gives back;
And moonless and staress the heavens arch d wall,
Responding an equal black
Oh, tireless waters like Life's quick dream,
Onward and onward ever humping
Like Death in this midnight hour you seem,
Life in your chill drops greedy buryng WV.
