We learn from Washington that the final vote
upon the treaty was not taken yesterday. Seve-
raj important amendments, h owever, have been
voted upon, and il is presumed that the ultimate
decision will be arrived at to-day or tomorrow.
The treaty has been modified in so many of
Its prominent features, that its final ratification
by the Senate is rendered no longer probemati-
cal indeed, it Is expected that It will encounter
finally but four or five dissenting votes.
Congress was engaged in some business of in
terest yesterday. In the Senate, Mr. Dix present.
ed me mortal from citizens of New York, rela-
tive 10 the laws regulating vessels entering this
port, and after the transaction of some other
business, went into Executiv- session. In the
House, Mr.. Hunt introduced bill RENTING
the duties on goods destroyed in this city during
the great fire in 1916, which was read twice in
committee of the whole. Mr.. Evans reported
bill in favor of giving officers and privates,
who were afterwards promoted, the same bounty
lands as those not promoted, which elected an
animated discussion. The bill providing for
Deficiencies in the appropriations was ordered
TO third reading, after amendments proposing
10 exercise the missions to Rome, Bolivia, Qua
temala, Ecuador, &c, had been rejected.
The usual legislative synopsis, market reports,

The Funeral Obsequies OF Ex-president
Adams.

The mortal remains of the venerable ex-Pres-
dent Adams will arrive in this city to-day, on
their way to their resting place, in the State OF
Massachusetts. In accordance with recon-
mendauon of the Mayor, and sense of respect
to the memory of the lllustrious deceased-whch
is stronger than any official procamation-all
public places and places of business on the line
of procession will be closed after one O'Clock =
The pageant WILL it is expected, be one Of the
most solemn and imposing that was ever seen in
New York. The procession will be large, and
will iocude all public societies, the several or
ders and associations, and citizens in general
as also the members of the army and navy al
present on this station. It will truly be sad
and mc lancholy spectacle.

The Hon. Henry Clay, of Kentucky, who Ger.
tanly must be admitted to be one of the most
distingui shed men and statesmen of this conti-
nent, arrived yesterday in New York from Phila.
delphia, under one OF the brightest suns, the Sc
renest skies, and the most genial atmospheres,
which we ever fel, or saw at this season OF the
year I, was perfectly Italian, from sunrise to
sunset, in New York yesterday. Whether the
beauty OF the day and the clearness of the skies
may be fttng omen of the future good fortune
of Mr.. Clay as candidate for the Presidency, is
more than we can say, on our own experience,
without getting the opinions Of one of the bright.
eet angels from heaven.
Mr.. Clay is, undoubtedly, an extraordinary
man-one of the most extraordinary that has
ever made his appearance on this continent,
OF who has Illuminated the political horizon
OF any party For quarter OF a century
past, he has been the exposure Of one
half Of the people OF the United States
Again and again they have attempted to elevate
him TO the highest office which free people can
confer on a revered patriot; but they have
hitherto failed. ] The midst Of wars, which
have produced military heroes 10 abundance, as
potato crops do in the finest season, two dozen

bids fair 10 have as good prospect il not bet
ter, than he ever I'd during his career, for the
White House. Looking at the immense crowds
which filed Broadway, during HE process
sion from the Battery TO the York
Hotel-remembering the bright eyes and the
gladdening countenances which developed
themselves at his approach-it would certain
ly appear very singular if all this were bad
aith-if il were all humbug and make believe;
and if he should be cheated again by the very
men who are ,rotting him about as candi-
date for the Presidency, and show for the
people OF this Union. Is all this real, or fcti-
tious 2 Are all those speeches and professions
from the heart, OF are they merely humbug 10

for some o.her msn Eight years ago Mr.. Clay
was received in New York with the same de-
moastrations Of allegiance; yet he was
cheated in six or eight months afterwards We
should hope and believe that there are some
compuuchous visitings of conscience among
those politicians to do him justice, and TO show
there Is some truth in the promises OF poll
tcians.
We desire our readers to peruse the account
OF his reception, which we give in our columns
Il will be seen that he made very eloquent and
appropriate speech at Castle Garden, in answer

The Treaty with Mexico.

WASHINGTON, March II P. M.
The Senate is still in session, and it is not
known whether the vote will be taken tonight
or not. 1t may not be for some days yet. The
probability however, is, that it will be taken to-
night Scarce any doubt is entertained that the
treaty will be ratified. N.
DESPATCH NO II.
WASHINGTON, March Tsp. M.
The Executive session adjourned at half-past
seven o'clock this evening
All the amendments proposed relative TO the
treaty were voted on, with the exception of the
motion to strike out the section which fixes the
boundary. That vote will be taken tomorrow
If the Wilmot proviso be introduced, it will
fail, and be voted down without discussion.
Tue final vote on the treaty will, most probably,
be taken tomorrow. There are not more than
FIVE or six against the final ratification.
The tenth section, which alludes to the grants
Of land made by Mexico, is taken out, and the
proviso relative to the rights of the Catholic
church, in some degree modified. There are
other important amendments.

graphic. and represents thE exact position a
things in regard TO Mr., Clay and the public,
Invested of all party or personal bias. II Mr..
Clay, in spite of all thar has been said
of other candidates. should be nominated by the
Philadelphia whig convention, and be supported
by the people of The United States, il may pre-
sent our institutions In a new aspect to Europe
and to the world. The war with Mexico has
caused the moralists of Europe TO denounce re-
publican institutions and republican principles,
as leading merely to military exploits, military
fame, and ending merely in military govern
ment and military morals. If, in the midst Of
the enthusiasm and glory caused by the won
derfu! campaigns in Mexico, the people of the
United States should make short turn, and
from the impulse OF moral sentiment alone,
make Mr.. Clay their next President, it would
produce as much establishment and consterna-
ton among the people of Europe, as the victo-
ries of Generals Taylor and Scott have already
done among their military leaders and Chiefs
And, too, If there is any truth in public
applause-any conscience In the politicians
oil the day-there certainly seems to be a
strong feeling in favor of Mr.. Clay-a feel
ing that in ordinary times, would found the
strongest basis on which to believe he would be
elected to the Presidency. But we are still met
with the fact, that the same enthusiasm and the
same applause attended him in 1889, during his
progress from Buffalo to the city of New York;
and yet the politicians Of this city abandoned
him and cheated him on the first opportunity.
Let them, however, have another chance.
Another distinguished man arrived here yes

We have not learned that there was any process

VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS.

| VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS.
The only kno,on medicine that at the same time par-
geS, purifeS, and strengthens the system.
nR. LIE ROY'S Pills are new medicine
~ which has just appeared, and is fast taking
the places of all others Of the same class. These
pills are composed of many ingredients, but the
two principal ones are Sarsa parilla and Wild Cher
ry united that they together the one. through
its admixiure with other substances, purifying and
pureing, while the othor is strengthening the sys
TEN. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic
and opening; a desderaium long and eagerly
sought for by medicinal men, but never before dis
covered. In other words they do the work of the
two medicines and do it much better than any
two we know OF for they remove nothing from the
system but the impurities so that while they purge
they strengthen and hence they cause 10 debili-
taion, and are followed by no reaction Dr. LIE
Roy's Pills have a wonderful rfuence on the
blood !; they not only purify without weakening it.,
but they remove all noxous PARTICLES from the
chyle before il is converted into fluid, and thus
makes impure blood an utter impossibility. As
there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea
or sickness attending the Operations of this most
excellent of medicines, which never strains or
torrhres the digestive functions, but causes them
to work in perfectly natural manner and hence
persons taking them do not become pale and
emacated, but the contrary; for while il is the
property of the Sarsaparlla, united as it is with
other Ingredients to remove all that is foreign ard
impure, IL is equally the property fthe Wild Cher,
TO retain all that is natural and sound and hence
ro5Ost state OF health is the certain result OF their
united operations.
