The news OF the probable ratification of the Trea-
ty with Mexico is certainly Of the most agreeable
complexion, and the close of the war will be hail
ed with universal rejoicing. After all its successes
and the glory with which il has covered our arms
il cannot be denied that the country has long been
heartily tired of contest pursued at an expense Of
treasure and blood infinitely beyond the value Of all
the territory it has enabled us to conquer TO pur
chase Il has been a heavy drain on the national
prosperity, absorbing all the profits Of the great
temporary market so suddenly opened to our agri-
cultural products by European scarcity; and il has
introduced new and dangerous causes Of contention
among the people Of the United States, from which
the wisest and best citizens have been disposed to
apprehend the greatest evils to the republic. Such
are not the trophies for which prudent rulers and
intelligent communities rush into war and accord
ingly il is not astonishing that the return of peace
is hailed with equal pleasure by the authorities and
the people of the United States. May it be peace
lasting and happy NORTH american.
