"Spaie" Borden.-It will be recoilected
that Jas. w Borden, Esq, 'once upon a
time attacked one Of our citizens with a
spade. while he was postmaster at Rich
Inond, la.--no serious consequences, how
ever ensued. and we merely revert to il
now for the purpose Of accounting for the
prefix Of ''spade" before Borden. Well,
this same ''spade" Borden. rejoices nov
in the prefix of ''Judge!' On the Sd inst,
SAYS friend from Indianapolis. this same
individual attacked senator Osborne, o.
Laporte. in front of the State House. In
a conversation. Osborne intima.ed that
Borden was no gentleman. and the spade
man proved the senator's assertion 20 be
,rue by afterwards sneaking up and striking
Osborne from behind. Osborne is said
TO be very small man. but that if he had
been leit alone, he would have whipped
Borden, or. rather, that Borden would have
whipped himself! This is all our intor-
mant knows about the fight. We under
stand that Borden is eectioneering for
reelection to the Judgeship. Ii the I eth
Judicial Circuit need gas pipe and a
bully for Judge. the Legislature should,
BY al, means, re- elect spade" Borden!

While others sing The gentle lay, ..

IT'S sweeter far for me 10 stray,
To tina. calm peaceful spot,
Where the tall grass luxuriant waves
Above my own fond Mothers grave.
In evenings cool and dewy hours,

seem 10 hear her own sad voice,
Again in earnest prayer,
As when she sought in accents mild,
Gods blessing on her erring child.
Scarce three short years have passed away,
Since that blest spiril fled,
Unto the brigh, and fair abode
or the holy and sinless dead.
She wears Seraph's garments now,
A heavenly halo round her brow.
Mother, it those brgh; starry gems,
Which sparkle in the sky.
Are given TO Angels for home,
o watch me from on high,
And bless and cheer thy fliendless one,
And guide her to her Fathers throne.

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY! never knew
marriage for money that did not end un.,
happily. Ye, managing mothers and heart.
less daug h'ers are continually playing the
same unlucky game. believe tina, men,
more frequently marry for love than wo-
men, because women think they will not
have better chance. and dread being de-
pendent. Such marriages, no doubt, some
times prove tolerable comfortable. but q
great number would have been far happier
single. If may Judge by my obscrva-
tions of such matters, marrying for home
makes that home a very tiresome one

Hon. Henry A. WISE.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT,
ANNOUNCING TO CONGRESS
THE END OF THE WAR WITH
MEXICO.

To the Senate and House of Reprerenta.
tues Of the United States:
! lay before Congress copies of treaty
of peace, friendship, limits and settlement.
between the United States and The Mexican
Republic, The Publications of which were
duly exchanged al the City of Queretaro,
in Mexico, on The 3Olh day of May ls4s.
The war in which our country was re.
luctanily involved in the necessary vindica.
lion Of the national rights and honor has
thus been terminated, and ! congratulate
Congress and our common constituents up
on the restoration of an honrable peace.
The extensive and valuable territories
coded by Mexico to the United States con.
s,ilute indemnify for the past, and the bril-
liant achievements and signal successes of
our arms will be a guaranty of security
for the future, by convincing all nations
that our rights must be respected. The
results of the war with Mexico have given
to the United States a national character
abroad which our country never before en-
joyed. Our power and resources have be.
come known and respected throughout the
world, and we shall probably be saved from
the necessity of engaging in another for.
eign war for long series of years.
1t is subject of congraiulation that we
have passed through q war Of more than
two years duration with the business of
the country uninterrupted, with our resour-
ces une Exhausted. and the public credit I'm.
impaired.
communicate for the information of
Congress the accompanying documents and
correspondence relating To the negotiation
and ratification of the treaty.
Before the treaty can he fully executed
on The part of the United States, legislation
will be required.
1t will be proper 10 make the necessary
appropriations for the payment of the 10
millions of dollars stipulated by the twelfth
article to be paid to Mexico in four equal
annual instalmen,s. Three millions of dbl
lars were appropriated by the act of March
3. ls47, and that sum was paid to The Mex
lean Government after the exchange of rat
icalions of the treaty.
The fifth article of the treaty provides
that, in order to desi ghate the boundary
line with due precision upon authoritative
maps, and 10 establish upon the ground
landmarks which shall show the limits of
both republics, as described in the present
article, the two governments shall each aP-
point a commissioner and surveyor, who,
before the expiration of one year from the
date OF the exchange of ra,i6calions Of
this treaty, shall meet at The port of San
Diego. and proceed 10 run and mark the
said boundary in its whole course to the
mouth IF the Rio Bravo del Nnrie."
II will he necessary that provision should
be made by law for the appointment of
commissioner and surveyor on the part OF
HE United States, to act in conjunction
with commissioner and surveyor appoint
