EXTRACT OF A LETTER,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SENTINEL

, :atlHcdtlon OF which with Mexico has
been confirmed, and the war has now
virtually closed. That is, the war will
have ceased with Mexico, on the inte,-
change Of the Treaty between the two
governments. The vote in the House
Of Deputies in Mexico, was, for the
Treaty 81, against ratification 35;-iis
the Senate Of Mexico, for ratification
|23, against it S. Thus you see, Mr..
Editor, the ratification has taken place.
by very large majority in both BRAN
ehes Of the Mexican Congress. The
Treaty, as it was amended in our Sen
ate, has not been altered; so that, as it
passed from US, will the same te re,uF-
ned, fully and freely confirmed. am
pleased a, this result +; i; leaves Next
co her nationality whereas, if the
war had continued a year or two long
er, her nationality would have been de-
stroyed, and Mr.. CALHOUN would have
had spasgns, at the aggrandisemens OF his
counirymeu. Poor man, he has sick
" sympathy, and very unfortunately for
him, the people Of the United States
do not entertain his sentln ents;-but,
fortunately for he honor Of the county,
and the prosperity of Republican insti-
tutions, they differ from him, and all
those who have sided with the enemy
| of oar country, in this war with Mex
co. The day of rerribu,lor IS at hand;
and woe beide the traitors, if they are
brought TO trial.
Mr.. N. P. TRlsr arrived in this city
Ion ednesday. 1t was given out he
was a military prisoner. bot ! have not
heard that he reported himself as such.
His contempt, expressed for the Presi-
dent of the u. s., who had been his
friend and patron, in promoting him,
as a negotiator, and then, his subse-
quent coalition with Gen. Scorr, has
destroyed his former standing in the
Republican party, He has done aim
self no credit in his Mexican journey.
10 be sure, he negotiated The Treaty,
and he deserves credit for shat; yet,
look at his disreSpect to the President
Of the United States; and then, his ex-
tended aid to Gen. ScoTr, in the lat
ter'S endeavors 10 blast The reputation
of Gen. Pillow. These things COM
bined, ale calculated! to leave all unfa-
vorable impression on the public mind,
Of the purity of Mr. TRIsr. For my
own part, entirely dissent f:om his
course of action, and believe that he
deserves censute Of the stronges. kind,
for his conduct while in Mexico.
The Wings Of Philadelphia have gi-
ven you Gen. TAYLon and MILLARD
FILLMORE, as the standard, bearers of
their cause. Well, /, is ticket. But
"a ticket without principle for the south,
and ticket Of all kinds Of cefotni,y
for the north. At the west, it is neither
"6sh, flesh, nor red behring's" Isup-
pose wEiggery will be most joyfuiiy
pleased al The nomination of General
TAYLOR. There is no accounting for
taste in :hIs world Of excitement. ii
the wings are men of principle, how,
in the name of heaven can they support
Gen. TAYLoR' But, it is for them to
say, not those who differ from them in
the whole political decalogue. Nj
FILLMORE is well suited to wbigge'y.
He at least is ait tait in all their abslr-.
dities; and deserves the support Of all
those who are opposed TO the psopa.a-
ton Of republican principles, and Who
side with the enemies Of our counry.
The wings are welcome to their tich',
and | venture the prediction, that is
the last of whiggery for the next our
ter of a century. will give you Is
tory of whiggery in few weeks nd
when published, may they profit byhe
advice, and learn to do better.
Congress, suppose, will now gdo
wofk-paSs the necessary bills TO G-
ry on the government, and adjournto
take a hand in the coming contest pr
the presidency. If they get 'hro' VIII
the Treaty matters, they will adjoA
the first or second week in July.
Should they be detained beyond TIL
period. i: will be more for the love
the eight dollars per day, than for an
usefulness to the public service.
The General Court Martial is now in
standing we have every prospect, and
in fact there is peace, that farce is suf--
fered to progress, to the disadvantage
of some, and an immense outlay of
money 10 the United States. The am
cunt of testimony taken before this
court, if to be published, will cost the
government: an immense sum ofmoney,
to say nothing of the expenses of the
court and witnesses. If reformation is
not required in the army regulations, I
